My sister gifted me ‘The 4-Hour Workweek’ book about 10 years ago and it awakened a curiosity that has led to my non-traditional outlook on life and the role work plays in it!

Learnings from the book and Tim’s podcast have had a major influence on my career objectives and trajectory. I credit his philosophy for enabling me to shape a flexible career that now lets me work 4-5 focused hours a day from a seaside town in Portugal.

This special episode features Tim’s very first speech at SXSW in March of 2007 and includes tips on how to optimise control of your time, income, and mobility.

For the most part, we take time for granted; maybe we don’t have enough of it, but we at least know how it works - well, most of the time.

Will Marshall founded Planet in 2010 with a small team of NASA scientists to build a constellation of satellites that would image the entire Earth every day. Since then, Planet has successfully built and deployed 450 satellites into space, which the company is using to create a time series of images for every place on Earth.

Space is going through an internet moment where cost reductions and performance enhancements have led to a seismic shift in what’s possible above our atmosphere, and how that can drastically improve life on Earth through unique datasets like the one Planet is piecing together.
