E247 The Conference Advantage: Step Away, Recharge, and Lead Your Child Care Business Forward with Brian and Carol Duprey

What happens when you step away from the daily noise of running your child care business and give yourself space to think bigger? In this episode of the Child Care Genius Podcast, Brian and Carol Duprey dive into a topic that many leaders overlook: the transformative value of attending conferences. Tune in as they share candid insights about why investing time in learning, networking, and personal growth can unlock clarity, sharpen focus, and accelerate your progress as an owner.   Listen in as Brian reflects on his first conference experience and the mindset shifts that followed, from setting meaningful goals to surrounding yourself with people who are operating at the level you aspire to reach. Join us as they discuss the power of community, learning from others' mistakes, and why knowledge only creates impact when it's applied. They also explore the real financial and operational lessons gained through collaboration, benchmarking, and simply being in rooms where big ideas are shared openly.   This conversation goes beyond strategy and numbers. Brian and Carol highlight the importance of connection, culture, and even fun when stepping outside your center. From building unity with your team to gaining perspective that's hard to find in the day-to-day grind, they unpack how these experiences can influence leadership, decision-making, and long-term vision. You'll hear honest reflections on lessons learned the hard way and how those lessons shape the way they support other owners today.   Join us for an encouraging and practical discussion about working on your business instead of constantly working in it. Whether you attend one conference or several this year, this episode offers perspective on how stepping into learning environments can reignite motivation, spark ideas, and push you toward the next level of growth. Listen in and consider what intentional time away could mean for your goals in 2026 and beyond.
