Come with me on an expiration of self-discovery. On this podcast we decipher what really matters as we unravel the

chaos of day-to-day work to learn how to build an essential life. I've been thinking about your life. I've been thinking

about how easy it is to feel lost in the midst of all the busyness.

How easy it is to feel like we're languishing after a year and a half of all that has been required of us, of all of the

uncertainty and adaptation, and I can think of nothing more important in such moments than coming back to not just what's essential, but why it matters.

To renew our clarity in why we think what matters matters so much.

So I reached out to my friend Simon Scenic

and asked him to be on the What's Essential podcast today,

so that we can reflect on not just what matters but why. Let's get to it.

I am here today with Simon Sinic. He sort of needs no introduction really. I sort of imagine that anybody

listening to the Watson Central podcast is at least familiar with Simon's work, you know, I hate to even

say it this way, but number two, TED Talk.

It's got to be number one soon, Simon. It's got to be number one soon Simon. He's got to be close now.

He's blown up the internet on multiple occasions, but there's a

millennial's speech that's just gone bonkers. and

and really I feel a sort of and really I feel a sort of kinship

between essentialism and the start with why movement.

So I'm so looking forward to this conversation.

Simon, welcome to the What's Essential Podcast.

Thanks for having me.
