Hello and welcome to best laid plans. This is your host Sarah Hart-Unger and this is the podcast where we talk all things planning and planning adjacent. I had promised you a fun guest episode, and I do believe this one delivers.

0:23.5

Sometimes there are people who go through life, and they have so many moving parts,

0:27.9

that I get very curious about what it is they're doing to keep things all together.

0:33.7

And our guest is the epitome of this.
