This week on The Bridge, hosts Andrew Catapano, Heather Petrone, and Jimmy Knight dig into one of the most underrated core values: Simplicity. And no, it's not about cutting corners, it's about stripping things down to their most effective form.

The crew is joined by two special guests: Ron Thrasher, Senior Team Lead and Core Values Award Winner for Simplicity, and Megan Picheri, Channel Partners Travel Manager, who brings real talk straight from the travel department.

In this episode:

• Why packing light is a mindset, not just a luggage strategy
• TSA PreCheck, Global Entry, and travel rewards cards — stop waiting in line
• Heather's legendary two-week Europe trip with zero checked bags
• Ron's suitcase divider system and his portable washboard hack
• How to stay calm when everything goes sideways in the field
• Rental car and hotel documentation tips that could save you (and the company) serious money
• The one phone call that saves thousands in unused hotel room fees
