This week's guest is Alex Soojung-Kim Pang, an author and consultant who has emerged as a leading advocate for the four-day workweek.

Alex dismantles traditional work paradigms, presenting compelling arguments for shorter work hours backed by scientific studies and real-world applications. His unique insights stem from a blend of personal heritage, scholarly exploration, and a deep belief in redefining the future of work.

We discuss:

  • Sticking to 4 days when the going gets tough
  • How to make it work in practice
  • Why workaholics succeed (for a while)
  • Work until 2 *and* keep your lunch hour
  • The unlikely innovation boon of the 4-day week
