In this insightful episode, host Anebi and guest Phil McParlane delve into the concept of the four-day workweek. Phil shares the various iterations of the four-day week, including a standard four-day week, a four-and-a-half-day week, and variations that occur during the summer or every other week.

Advocating for a Shorter Workweek

The conversation also touches on the challenges of advocating for a shorter workweek, emphasizing the need to not only find companies already implementing this schedule but also to persuade those who are undecided. Anebi and Phil explore the power of discussing slightly taboo topics that resonate with people's internal thoughts but are often left unspoken.

The Desire for More

Phil, an entrepreneur at heart, expresses a strong desire to create new apps and side projects. He candidly shares a recent period of distraction from their main focus, which led to a self-reflective moment. To balance this entrepreneurial spirit with his commitment to the four-day workweek concept, he is considering developing smaller projects or apps within the main app, which could serve as lead generation tools.

Overall, the episode provides valuable insights into the four-day workweek movement and the personal journey of an entrepreneur navigating the balance between innovation and focus.
