Listen Later

Rachel and Marcus discuss the practical steps they took at Dylan Business Advisors to move from 70-hour workweeks to a sustainable 36-hour workweek year-round.

The conversation covers both immediate relief strategies for overwhelmed firm owners and long-term structural changes that transformed their business while increasing profitability
