S2E43 - 100-Hour Weeks? The Math Says You Have 19 Hours Left—Here's The Truth
Jake and Michael debunk the 100-hour work week hustle porn fantasy by breaking down the brutal math: Work 100 hours, sleep 49 hours, and you're left with 19 hours per week (2.7 hours/day) for eating, showering, driving, family, and recovery.
KEY TAKEAWAYS: ✅ The Capacity Question — 100-hour weeks are possible (single moms do it), but sustainability requires an END DATE in sight, not 10-year marathons ✅ Busy ≠ Productive — If you're spinning wheels without results, you're just stupid (Jake's words) ✅ The $4M Wake-Up Call — Jake got FIRED from a $4 million real estate listing because he was drowning in admin work, not revenue-generating tasks ✅ From $1K/day to $2K/day Working HALF as Much — Hiring a Director of Operations cut Jake's work from 100 hours to 30 hours per week ✅ The 4-Hour Work Week Reality — Tim Ferriss's model costs $200K+ to leverage out, but the ROI is worth it ✅ The $9/hour Task Trap — Stop doing administrative garbage that keeps you buried
THE BRUTAL TRUTH: If you're working 100-hour weeks on admin tasks instead of revenue-generating genius work, you're entombing yourself in comfort chains.
