The Pathless Path with Paul Millerd

Sean McCabe runs seanwes and in 2014 he was working seven days per week.   Yup, no breaks.  He knew he needed to make a chance but the problem? All of his friends and even his wife worked at the company.  He decided he would take every seven weeks off.  He quickly realized it was a bit unfair to his team and extended it to everyone in the company.   He's found that not only has his life gotten better but his business has continued to grow and they have figured out how to build mandatory (not like "unlimited vacation...) sabbaticals into the operating rhythm of the company.  His mission is to help every company globally (yes, really) embrace this model by 2047.  I'm on board.
