I feel like my guest today is a bit of a kindred spirit of sorts. Numerous times during our conversation, I thought of many examples from my own life of several of the topics we discussed. Sanok-Episode-397.png?ssl=1"> We see eye-to-eye on a lot of things, not the least of which is many of us are caught in a 100-year-old way of doing things. We work eight to ten hours a day, five or more days every week. But why is this the way we do things? This question and more is what Joe Sanok gets at in his new book. It was released last month as is called Thursday is the New Friday: How to Work Fewer Hours, Make More Money, and Spend Time Doing What You Want. In it, Joe offers the exercises, tools, and training that have helped thousands of professionals—from authors and scholars to business leaders and innovators—create the schedule they want, resulting in less work, greater income, and more time for what they most desire. Most importantly, Thursday is the New Friday empowers you with a practical, evidence-based methodology to create your own work schedule and dedicate more of your precious personal time to pursuing your hobbies and spending time with your family and friends.
