Escaping Hustle Culture: $10K Hours, 4-Week Vacations & the 25-Hour Workweek

What if you could swap $10 tasks for $10k impact?

Host TJ Lewis talks with Dr. Sabrina Starling—“The Business Psychologist,” bestselling author of How to Hire the Best and The 4 Week Vacation®—about escaping hustle culture in modern accounting firms. Citing research on 700+ entrepreneurs, Dr. Sabrina reveals that 90% are burning out and explains how to flip the script by focusing on “$10,000-an-hour activities”: work done in your zone of strength that makes everything else easier or unnecessary. She recounts limiting her own schedule to 25 hours a week, delegating low-value tasks, and using “vacation-testing” to build a business that runs smoothly during a fully unplugged four-week break—demonstrating that Work Supports Life™, not the other way around. Listeners get practical guidance on time-blocking, tracking tasks for delegation, and empowering teams.
