What would your business—and your life—look like if you could work less and achieve more?
In this high-impact episode of Talking with the Experts, I’m joined by bold and brutally honest high-performance coach Jake Smolarek, who’s known for helping driven entrepreneurs master time, crush distractions, and unlock their next level of productivity.
Jake’s approach to time management isn’t about pretty planners or apps—it’s about owning your priorities, working smarter, and eliminating everything that doesn’t create real results.
Inside this empowering conversation, we dive into:
- Why most entrepreneurs waste time without even realising it.
- The truth about hustle culture—and how it keeps you stuck.
- How to shift from busywork to high-impact actions using Jake’s priority-focused methods.
- How Jake helps clients rebuild their week around energy, goals, and mental clarity.
- What “working smart” really means in today’s chaotic, always-on business world.
Jake shares how his brutally honest style of coaching transforms the way people think about time. You’ll walk away with a fresh lens on productivity, clear takeaways to restructure your day, and permission to let go of the noise and focus only on what moves the needle.
This episode is for the entrepreneur who’s tired of the hustle, ready to grow smarter—not harder—and willing to be challenged in all the right ways.
Whether you’re already successful or just climbing your first mountain, Jake will shift your mindset—and your outcomes.
🎧 Tune in, take notes, and let’s redefine your relationship with time.
