A job board dedicated to 4 day week roles - Phil McParlane, Founder, 4dayweek.io

In this episode we talk to Phil McParlane, Founder of 4dayweek.io, a job board connecting companies offering roles with shortened work weeks to people who are looking for them.

Phil talks about why he initially set it up, who it's for and how it all works, as well as some of the trends he is seeing.

We talk about some of the cultural differences in terms of work life balance and benefits in different countries, and how that has driven natural skews in where he is seeing both supply and demand, and the radical idea of asking for a reduction in time rather than an increase in salary.

And we discuss some of the potential societal benefits, big and small, of a more widespread shift to a shorter work week.
