    Case File #197: 4-Day Work Week

    What would you do with one entire day away from work? We're not talking about a vacation day but actually one less day required on-the-job. Host Roshini Rajkumar dives into the 4-day work week phenomenon with The Crisis Files productivity contributor Aimee Olson. She highlights a study across the United States, Great Britain, and Canada that showed productivity did not go down. In fact, revenue increased. Burnout dropped. And these results had nothing to do with artificial intelligence. Aimee says the real question is, "What will it cost if we don't evolve with this new trend?" The Life Done Simply founder shares ways to experiment individually or with your teams before making any permanent changes. Leading from innovation is key. Many industries cannot eliminate actual days in the office, but the ones that can experiment might just love examples we lay out in this episode. Plus, learn Aimee's big prediction for 2027.

    Case File #195: Closing the Gap

    Imagine this: If we could correct the female health gap, we'd increase Gross Domestic Product by at least one trillion dollars. Why is it that women weren't included in clinical trials until 1993? Host Roshini Rajkumar dives into this question and more with sports scientist Roma van der Walt. A former professional athlete and co-founder of Vitelle, Roma is challenging stereotypes in data analytics so female data gets the attention it deserves in the longevity movement. Do you use a wearable? Did you know it and many pieces of sports equipment are built with only male data inputs? In an $800 billion preventive care market, this also means artificial intelligence tools "hallucinate" when female data is used. Roma explains how the female part of the population can better hold medical professionals and sports companies accountable before they put their bodies and their dollars on the line.
