Ep 208 features a 'Vulnerable Conversation' with Tom Schwab. Tom cherishes the value of taking time for personal growth and nurturing relationships. He realized he hadn't taken a full month off work since he was 12 years old.

Tom and his wife Karen hiked the historic Camino de Santiago (500+ miles) in just 26 days. This was a transformative experience. He now refers to himself as Camino Tom as a result of the transformation he experienced.

🔑 3 Key Takeaways:

1️⃣ Legacy Over Achievements: Tom emphasizes the importance of family memories over professional milestones. His journey on the Camino with his wife, Karen, highlighted the significance of creating lasting experiences.

2️⃣ Embrace the Journey: The Camino experience reminded Tom that anyone can take a profound journey—regardless of age or budget. With modest daily costs, the Camino journey is more accessible than many might imagine.

3️⃣ Personal and Professional Growth: Taking time off allowed Tom to rejuvenate both personally and professionally. The adventure not only strengthened his marriage but also revitalized his passion for work and appreciation for his team.

Main Takeaway: Tom's experience is a powerful reminder that embracing new challenges and stepping away from our routine can lead to renewed energy and clarity in many or all of our five life's pillars.
