A Note On Transcriptions - In the interest of simplicity, I'm using Descript* to make podcast publishing as easy as possible. This means that sometimes the transcript won't match what I'm saying and sometimes it'll be hilariously different (tag me on Twitter telling me the funniest transcription you've found).

Speaker:
What is simplicity?
Speaker:
Simplicity is often seen as doing less things.
Speaker:
A quote I heard recently defined simplicity as eliminating the unnecessary.
Speaker:
Now, although on the surface, that sort of makes sense.
Speaker:
It's missing a little context.
Speaker:
And I don't think it's entirely accurate.
Speaker:
To me, simplicity is all about having enough.
Speaker:
It's about showing up in a way that's sustainable to you.
Speaker:
It's about making your business fit your brain.
Speaker:
Simplicity is about not too much, but also not too little.
Speaker:
If you have too much, it's overwhelming.
Speaker:
If you have too little it lacks nuance.
Speaker:
And you risk missing the tiny details that can really make a difference in
Speaker:
the day-to-day running of your business.
Speaker:
Simplicity.
Speaker:
Is about having enough.
Speaker:
The right amount that fits you.
Speaker:
We are bombarded by hundreds of things each and every day.
Speaker:
So denoting simplicity as less makes a ton of sense.
Speaker:
But sometimes it's less about having less things, but more of the right things
Speaker:
instead of starting from a randomly picked strategy or the advice of the next guru
