Hannah Lee's Big Idea: "The Four-Day Workweek Will Change The Way We Work"

08/22/23 • 16 min

Hannah Lee has a BIG IDEA: “The four-day workweek will change the way we work.”

Hannah is the CEO and Co-founder of Second Mile, an award-winning revenue operations agency focused on helping its clients scale smarter and improve the workweek.

She believes very strongly in the power of time, and making the most of it, - so it was important to her and her Second Mile team to tackle the possibilities, benefits and challenges of the four-day workweek. They’ve seen increased productivity, consistent revenue growth, and improved employee work-life balance.

They’ve also been keen to focus on building a positive, collaborative culture where employees can communicate freely, and quickly - to accomplish big things in a limited timeframe. As Hannah succinctly puts it, “If you have two weeks to pack, or two hours, you will fill the suitcase”.

Now, she is sharing her passion for the four day work week with the world, including speaking at one of the biggest marketing conferences in the world, INBOUND 2023!

Jonathan “Courageous” Clark's Big Idea: Art and Science Can Answer The World's Toughest Questions

Jonathan “Courageous” Clark is this week’s Big Ideas Welcome podcast guest. Jonathan’s Big Idea: Art and Science can answer the world's toughest questions.
Multidisciplinary Artist, Activist and CEO/Founder of ART.Official Intelligence, Jonathan Clark, also known as “Courageous,” currently serves as a member of the Knoxville Mayor’s Maker City Council, a board member of the Network of Ensemble Theaters and The Waymakers Collective, and formerly as Co-Chair of the Board of Directors of Alternate ROOTS.
Jonathan shares a poem about The Maker City, and the artistic process of making "something out of nothing". He then talks about his journey into artistic entrepreneurship through programs like Co.Starters and 100 Knoxville. These programs, and the people he met along the way, helped him realize his desire to build his own company, Art.Official Intelligence, and he has a big mission: to foster empathy and overcome bias by blending creative art and psychological science. Now working with organizations like The University of Tennessee College of Nursing, Jonathan continues to change mindsets (including his own), begin new conversations, and open up new environments.
Jonathan is a native son of Knoxville, TN and Alumnus of the University of Tennessee – Knoxville, whose professional performance career began at the age of thirteen with The Carpetbag Theatre’s T.R.Y. Youth Theatre Ensemble and he’s remained a working performance artist ever since; traveling the country performing original poetry, acting, facilitating DEI workshops and immersing himself in as much culture as the United States has to offer. Courageous is a Spoken Word Poet, Writer, Playwright, Director, Event Host, Actor, Digital Storyteller/Listener, Teaching Artist, Baker and Dad Joke Connoisseur.

“There’s so much we could design if we honestly just asked each other what we wanted.” - Jaleria Rivera

Jaleria founded the soon-to-be artists studio co-op, SpaceCraft, because like herself, artists need space to practice, play, and connect without the worries of perfection or production. Above all, Jaleria has an infectious energy, and a desire to bring people together to accomplish...big ideas. She believes that by coming together, sharing our unique perspectives without judgment, and collectively envisioning the type of future we want to see, we have the power to reshape our communities and allocate resources to bring our visions to life.
