What does it really look like to be the breadwinner working from home? Jen Davis pulls back the curtain on her micro-agency model, 24-hour work week, and the systems that let her earn full-time income while being present for her kids.

In this episode, we’ve conversed about:

  • The micro-agency model that lets Jen work 24 hours a week while managing 10-15 client projects
  • How she structured her team with subcontractors instead of full-time employees (and why)
  • The regimented weekly schedule that makes everything work: Monday call days, Thursday delivery days, and feedback due Sundays
  • Her actual daily routine from 9 am-2 pm and how she switches between "business mode" and "mom mode"
  • The hiring mistakes she made so you don't have to (including the red flag she now watches for in interviews)
  • The tool that helps her actually disconnect (hint: it's a physical magnet)
  • How she and her husband navigate their roles as breadwinner and stay-at-home dad
  • Why the term "breadwinner" is complex and her relationship to all that it implies
