	Description:		The balance between work and home life has become more muddied. Technology now means we are required to always be on, stretching the workday even further. But there’s a philosophy emerging around the world. One that suggests working four days a week could improve our productivity and wellbeing. In 2018, Perpetual Guardian founder Andrew Barnes generated global headlines when he decided to run a real-time experiment on 200 staff members to see if the four-day week could be put into action. He hasn’t looked back since. Today, Barnes joins Damien to discuss a massive global trial of the four-day week, which could provide the stepping stones for it to become a permanent reality for more people.
