You Don’t Need More Time — You Need Better Hours | Chris Papin
Description
Chris Papin is a CPA, attorney, entrepreneur, author, and the host of the Blabo podcast (Behave Like A Business Owner). Through his work, he helps entrepreneurs realize that success isn’t about having more time — it’s about using the 168 hours we have each week more intentionally.
As the owner of Papin CPA and Papin Law, he goes beyond traditional accounting and legal services, helping business owners think strategically, make better decisions, and build businesses that can grow without consuming their lives.
In this practical conversation, Chris shares:
• Growing up with entrepreneurial parents
• How his father’s unexpected passing shaped the family and business
• Finding direction through self-awareness (not just “easy” work)
• Why most people underestimate the power of how they spend their time
• The 168-hour framework for intentional living and business
• How to build a weekly routine that actually moves the needle
If you’re in your 20s building a career or business, feeling stretched for time, or wanting to work smarter instead of harder, this episode delivers clear, actionable insight.
