If "finish strong" is starting to feel like "finish exhausted," this episode is your cue to pause. Kim breaks down why year-end burnout hits harder than we expect — and why pushing through isn't the answer.

She introduces the 6Ps of Alignment and shares a simple, but eye-opening, way to understand where your energy actually went this year — and what your brain, body, and habits have been trying to tell you.

You'll walk away with clarity, calm, and a new way to think about rest, resilience, and the year ahead.

This is one of our Digtal Delights episodes where we talk to a business owner who shares tips to help your dream life take flight. Today, I'm talking to Captain Kurt, the man behind Epic Beer Trips. As if the promise of traveling the globe drinking beer isn't enough to entice you, I asked Kurt to share tips for anyone who might be interested in setting up a tour business. We talked about retiring early, taking time to do the things you love NOW -rather than waiting - and why he structured his business so giving back is a priority. 

There is a longer version of this interview over at Power UP Your Performance, so if you want more behind the scenes from Epic Beer Trips, be sure to listen to that episode too. 

Connect with Kurt and Epic Beer Trips:

Captain Kurt created Epic Beer Tripsm to combine three things he enjoys: traveling the globe, drinking beer and having fun! Kurt's passions sent him to France, England, Luxembourg, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and eventually to Scotland for an extended stay in the summer of 2019. During these trips, Kurt enjoyed the beauty of Scotland, and the other destinations in Europe. He also met some really cool people and savored many excellent craft beers! After much thought and a few beers, the idea was born to share all this goodness with others.

In this episode, we explore the impact of generosity in business and why it's important for your business to practice it. It goes way beyond sponsorships, community involvement, and tax deductions. We discuss how generosity can create a positive image for your brand, improve employee morale and retention rates, increase customer loyalty... and contribute to the happiness of everyone you work with.

Bob DePasquale has made it his life's mission to be "The Generosity Guy." As a purpose-driven Impact-Maker, he believes that everyone can make a positive impact on the world. And he has certainly done so following two life-changing events that took place during his freshman year of college.

You can also hear Bob on our other podcast, Power Up Your Performance. You'll get his back story, and learn how to build more generosity into your daily life.
