And now most, in a lot of meeting settings at Entrepreneur, cameras are all off. I think that is wonderful. Cameras off.
Oh, I think it's entirely dependent upon the existing set of expectations. If this person works well and shows up and there's just never a question about whether they're working... Deepa is a great example of which. It's just a colleague of mine, Deepa. Deepa is the Swiss army knife of entrepreneurs. She does everything. And there is never a question of whether or not Deepa is on it.
Deepa is always on it. And as a result, nobody cares if Deepa's camera is off because... She's there. Everything will get done. There's just no worry. So in a way, you almost have to earn the camera off.
Yeah. Safety first.
I have thoughts on this too. Oh, I didn't know I have strong feelings on all these subjects.
Yeah, that's a nice thing to do is to be clear about it. And if you're taking notes and people know you're taking notes because you care about what is being discussed, then it's like, whatever, there's a little clacking and that's fine. But a couple of things to say. Number one, you can always mute. I do that often.
If someone's going to be talking for a few minutes and I'm typing, I will just mute myself and then type away. But also, shout out, we are not getting any money for this, though we probably should. I have been using Fathom. Fathom is an AI note taker. It joins my meetings. I think it's fathom.video is the website. And it is awesome. It's just there in the background.
It transcribes all your calls, but it also does this great job of organizing all the main points using AI. It's really impressive. So now I have it in all my calls, and now I don't need to take as many notes.
I actually think that this is a really good move for anybody, which is to think about how other people perceive seeing you on the phone. So if you're in a meeting and you pick up your phone and you're taking notes, it's worth saying, sorry, I'm just taking notes. And that way people don't think that you're sexting or texting the dog walker.
Like when you do it when we're recording or whatever? Yeah. I always assume you're dealing with something and it's fine because you also... Again, this comes back to like what have you earned and what's the set expectations? I know that you're not going to pick up your phone and disappear into it in the middle of a conversation. And therefore, if you pick up the phone, it's not like a problem.
But when my eight-year-old son, Fen...
picks up his ipad in the middle of a conversation i know we have fully lost him to roblox and therefore we got to pull him back but when i go and i give a talk uh like a keynote somewhere oftentimes i'll see people on their phones and then they will come up to me afterwards and they will show me the notes and they'll be like i i'm sorry if it looked rude that i was on the phone i was taking notes like they want they want to show that and i think that that's a good instinct
Yeah, exactly. Right. I hope not. We are really hoping that the other people that Fenn is interacting with on Roblox are also eight, but it's possible that they're 50 and at a convention listening to me give a keynote talk.
Just really awkwardly. Just glare at each other.
Oh man, I'm sorry about that.
Because you had to do all the small talk, Morgan. What was your question?
Do anything good this weekend?
All right, I'm going to give it to you. Here's the solution. This is the solution. The solution is this. Tell a story. So this is what I always do is if I'm on a call, I share whatever the latest amusing or random thing is. I just start telling that to people.
And the reason I do it is because I know that everyone on this call hates Zoom small talk, but also will feel obliged to do it unless somebody just fills the void. Somebody needs to fill the void. And I, you know, I know that I, for better or for worse, a thing I can do is fill a void. And so I'll just start talking. I'll just start, I'll just tell some random story until everyone's there.
And then I will exit the story and we'll get on. And it's like, look, as long as you know that you're not, you didn't just launch something.
