In this episode of Let’s Be Better, we sit down with Chris Papin, CPA and licensed attorney, to discuss his new book “168 Hours: A Startup Business Guide That Respects Your Time: A Smarter Way to Start, Structure, and Scale a Small Business.”

Chris shares insights from his experience as both an attorney and CPA, explaining how entrepreneurs can approach business ownership with structure, discipline, and a smarter use of their time. The conversation centers around a simple idea: everyone has the same 168 hours each week, and how those hours are used determines whether a business becomes sustainable or overwhelming.

Chris breaks down how new and aspiring entrepreneurs can start and scale a business while respecting their time, avoiding common structural mistakes, and building a foundation that supports long-term growth. We also discuss the mindset shift required to truly behave like a business owner, from financial organization to strategic planning.

Chris is also the host of the BLABO – Behave Like A Business Owner Podcast, where he helps entrepreneurs develop the habits and systems needed to run successful businesses.
