So I'm in this meeting with the CEO and his executive team, and I'm sitting there just going,

There, this is a problem.

Somebody's gotta, what is the deal with meetings?

And I remember that day sitting there thinking, okay, there's two things going on here.

One, it's boring.

And boredom is not a good answer for anything.

And I remember thinking, cause I was, I took a screenwriting class in college and said, a boring movie is a bad movie.

And boredom allows people, their minds to drift.

And they start to evaluate, this is a terrible movie in the first 10 minutes.

And I remember thinking, if you can't get people's attention in the first 10 minutes of a meeting, they're going to spend the rest of the time checked out.

So we've got to do a good job of hooking the people into being like, hey, you guys, this is what matters.

But then I thought, but there's another problem.

What is going on here?

And I thought, actually, they're having four different kinds of meetings in one.

And people were never clear about that.

It's like, are we brainstorming or are we just reviewing this?

Are we supposed to be voting on it?

Are we just supposed to be listening?

Should I be taking notes or is this just a check-in?

And the answer is yes.
