Hello and welcome to episode number one of Best Laid Plans.

This is going to be a podcast about all things related to planning, planning

techniques, planning products, people that love planning, and more. My name is Sarah Hart Unger.

You may know me from my podcast that I co-hosts with Laura Vandercam called Best of Both Worlds,

or my blog, the shoebox.com. If you've come over from either of those two places, which is pretty likely, welcome,

and thank you so much for giving this podcast a try.

For those of you that don't know me, again, my name is Sarah Hart Unger, and I'm a mother of

three, wife to a vascular surgeon, and I live and work in South Florida.

I practice as a pediatric endocrinologist and also work as

director of a pediatric residency program. So yes, I do have a lot of balls in the air, which gives

me lots of things to plan, which actually kind of makes me happy. I feel like I have had this

podcast brewing in my brain for many months because every time we do an

episode of Best of Both worlds where there's a chance to talk about planning, I basically want

to take over the entire episode and do a 20-minute monologue. My co-host Laura Vandercam is

generally very accepting of what I'd

like to do in the podcast, but sometimes, honestly, I just feel bad, like maybe it's too much.

And then I realized maybe it would be fun to have my own outlet to talk about this aspect of my

life and this hobby and this world that I love so much. So here we are, best laid plans.

I anticipate this podcast to be a podcast about planners, about planning, and about other people

who love planning and the tools that they love as well. I think it's going to be mostly just me

talking, but I anticipate having a monthly guest so we can have

another perspective to hear some other interesting planning methods.
