116 Why working 4-hour days feels harder than working 10 & how to reprogram your subconscious guilt behind it | Interview with Alja Podgornik

3/23/2026
Nobody warns you that the hardest part about working 4 hour days isn’t managing your time or getting your work done faster. It’s actually allowing yourself to let 4 hours of work be enough without feeling guilty like you could have “done more”. That low-level guilt you feel when you leave your office or laptop early? That voice in the back of your mind that whispers (or screams) ‘I haven’t deserved to rest yet’? That has zero to do with you becoming more productive. What's actually going on here is how your subconscious has been conditioned to perceive success, productivity and rest. And today we’re breaking down exactly what’s going on and how to reprogram it. Next Steps: Download your FREE 4 Hour Work Day Starter Pack Inside you’ll find the exact tools to stack consistent sales while working fewer hours a day and creating more white space in your calendar.

113 How I navigated a chemical pregnancy + first trimester sickness while running my online business 🤢❤️‍🩹

12/8/2025
❤️‍🩹 TRIGGER WARNING ❤️‍🩹 In this episode, I talk about pregnancy loss and early pregnancy. Please take care of yourself while listening wherever you are on this journey or however you relate to it. In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story I wasn’t sure I’d tell. During the second half of 2025, I navigated a chemical pregnancy, followed shortly after by the early months of a new pregnancy all while trying to keep my business running, support my clients, and run a few new creative projects. Spoiler: I had to let go of most of it. And that’s okay. This is an honest reflection on what it looked like to show up (and sometimes not show up) during one of the most vulnerable and physically intense seasons I’ve ever been through. I talk about: 👉What a chemical pregnancy is, how it hit me, and why it’s so often minimized 👉What it felt like to hold space for others while grieving behind the scenes 👉The whiplash of going from pregnancy loss into first trimester symptoms: fatigue, nausea, brain fog, and big emotions 👉How I redefined my relationship with content, productivity, and online business norms 👉What actually helped me feel better (and what didn’t) I also share how my 4-hour workday system became the ultimate safety net… Why I let my visibility take a backseat for two months… And how I’m slowly reshaping what business looks like for me from here. This episode is for you if you're: 👉Going through something heavy while holding or building a business 👉Navigating loss, fatigue, or emotional overwhelm behind the scenes 👉Wondering if it's okay to “disappear” for a while (short answer: yes) 👉Craving a business model that holds you, not just the other way around Next Steps: Download your FREE 4 Hour Work Day Starter Pack Inside you’ll find the exact tools to stack consistent sales while working fewer hours a day and creating more white space in your calendar.

11/10/2025
In today’s episode I’m joined by my client Sara Vezenšek who came to me a few month ago sharing about the incredible momentum she had already created in her business. She even proclaimed to the internet how she was planning to make 50,000 euros in just 4 months in her business.

Let’s just say the energy shifted even more, the boundaries were in place and she’s called in some serious opportunities and clients that she shares more in the episode. We’re breaking down her journey from operating without contracts (or with contract templates that didn’t fit her business) to confidently signing aligned, high-paying clients with structures that support her, protect her, and match the business she’s building.

111 THIS 👀 could kill your email list overnight & how you avoid it

10/13/2025
Email marketing is one of the most powerful sales tools for online business owners. And if you’ve been around the block of online business for a minute, you will have heard either me or one of your favourite sales coaches talk about how you cannot build your business only on social media. You need to know how to get your people off the socials and on to your email list. While social media can be a great place to catch attention and get connections to new potential customers, your email list and your email marketing is often one of the best and most powerful places to actually convert those potential customers into paying customers. But what many don’t realize is that there are strict requirements in place in the legislation that you as a business owner have to comply with to keep your email list legal and safe in the long term. This includes following the requirements set out by your chosen email service provider and it also includes making sure that you are collecting proper marketing consents on your free and paid opt-in pages before you start emailing your new subscribers. If your marketing consents aren’t compliant, you could literally risk losing your entire list overnight. Yikes. To help us break this down, I’ve brought in two experts, Brian Dixon from the US, and Kolja Strübing from Germany in the EU. Because even though I’m a lawyer myself operating my own online business, this is a very niche area that I am not at all qualified to speak about alone and because the rules are not the same everywhere. Next Steps: Download your FREE 4 Hour Work Day Starter Pack Inside you’ll find the exact tools to stack consistent income while working fewer hours a day and creating more white space in your calendar.

109 “Signed a 50K client 🤑” Sure… over 6 months, with 37+ hours/week. Did you mention that in your content too?

8/4/2025
We’ve all seen the money win posts… 💸 “Just hit a 10K month!” 💸 “Signed a 50K client!” 💸 “My client hit 6 figures from one funnel!” And while those posts can be true… If the context is left out, they can be both misleading and violating the marketing legislation in your country. In this episode, I’m putting my lawyer hat on (ok, it never really comes off) to walk you through: 👉 Why income screenshots and bold money claims can be a violation of applicable marketing laws 👉 How these trends energetically break trust with your audience 👉What to do instead to build a brand that’s not just magnetic but also legally compliant I don’t share this episode to shame anyone in the online business space. I share it because I want you to have the full picture when you consume content online. But also because I want you to keep this in mind when you market your offers and services online, so you can sell with integrity without opening your inbox to a letter from the marketing authorities. If your business coach ever told you to “share your Stripe screenshots” to build authority, this episode is for you. What You’ll Learn: 👉The legal risks you’re facing as a business owner when you share money wins in your content without context 👉Why “money wins” can harm your brand more than help it 👉My personal approach to content that builds trust (without ever sharing how much money I make) 👉What to say instead to stay compliant, aligned, and powerful in your messaging Next Steps: Join us inside The 4 Hour Work Day Foundation and learn how to save HOURS every week with a system that creates 4 hour work days, eliminates stress and helps you sign 3x more clients without sacrificing your daily workouts, 8 hours of sleep or time with family and friends.

107 Why writing “sign 3 new clients” in your pink planner as your Q3 goal doesn't work and what to focus on instead

6/23/2025
In this episode, I’m breaking down why I spent 2 whole quarters refining my backend, rebuilding my funnels, and rewriting sales pages without obsessing over my monthly income. If you’ve ever written “sign 3 clients” or “make 50k” at the top of your planner and felt instantly defeated halfway through the month because it didn’t happen… this episode is for you. We’re talking: 👉 Why “sign 3 clients” is NOT a business strategy (and what to track instead) 👉 The difference between being busy and being productive 👉 How I went from short launches and no overview of where I was taking the business to a company that’s being built on a clean structure that can hold the pieces together for years to come. 👉 The signs you’re moving as an employee in your business and how to shift into time rich CEO energy instead (and how you’ll know when you’re operating as one or the other). This episode is a loving nudge to stop focusing on signing more clients and start maturing your company so clients will come in and stay for years - over and over again. Let’s clean it up and make it work long-term. Next Steps: THE TIME RICH CEO’S QUARTERLY MAPPING RITUAL (Q3 EDITION) is happening on Wednesday June 25 at 01.00pm GMT+3 (Greek time). Join us to build your most profitable, spacious quarter yet in just 90 minutes without overpacking your calendar or mid-month meltdowns.

In this behind-the-scenes episode, I’m bringing you into the full debrief of my recent VIP day with my mentor Gabi Metz here in Athens, Greece. A day that wasn’t just luxurious or strategic… it was a frequency shift that marked the end of the “cute little online business” version of me, and the beginning of something much bigger.

5/12/2025
DOORS TO THE TIME RICH CEO AUDIO VAULT ARE OPEN AT €48! PRICE GOES UP SOON. They called it quitting. I call it coming home to myself, my energy, and the business model I was always meant to run. In this raw and real episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my transition from law to full-time entrepreneurship. Not the highlight reel version with cinnamon cappuccinos and cats. The real version. The one with messy podcast episodes, failed launches, and long days wondering why my business felt like an uphill battle when it was meant to set me free. I share the exact moment I knew something had to change and how I slowly started creating a business that actually supports my nervous system, honors my time, and pays me well without draining my soul.

4/14/2025
