• Take fast, imperfect action before self-doubt creeps in
• Build habits that align with your identity, not just your to-do list
• Delay gratification to train grit and sustain progress

If you’re ready to turn resistance into a results-driven daily rhythm, this episode is your blueprint.

Rethinking Team Performance in a 2-Day Workweek World

In this thought-provoking episode of Teamwork, a Better Way, Christian Napier and Spencer Horn unpack one of the most talked-about ideas of the year: Bill Gates’ prediction that AI could soon enable a 2- or 3-day workweek.

Sounds like a dream, right? Maybe. But psychologists—and seasoned team facilitators like Christian and Spencer—see a deeper truth: we don’t just work for income, we work for meaning.

Together, we explore the paradox of progress: as AI removes the need for effort, how do we protect what gives work its value—growth, challenge, and human connection? How do leaders and teams adapt to a future where technology handles the heavy lifting, but people still crave purpose?

We dive into the research behind the “effort paradox,” discuss how to lead teams in a world of increasing automation and reflect on what makes work… worth doing.
