Josh Little is the founder of four tech companies–Maestro, Bloomfire, Qzzr, and Volley, collectively used by hundreds of millions of people. With two successful exits and a third pending, he's currently on a mission to save the working world from death-by-meetings with his fourth creation, Volley. Volley is a conversation tool that allows you to have asynchronous conversations with your team, colleagues, and customers. I wanted to learn more about the problems and opportunities for workplace communication. Specifically, how to free up your calendar and increase productivity by turning synchronous meetings and calls into asynchronous conversations. Josh talks about combatting Zoom Fatigue, how to meet less, and communicate more. Could the answer be Navigating the space between Slack and Zoom? We explore the art and science of conversation and creating a safe space for brainstorming. We also discuss the problem with group dynamics and going remote without going crazy. If you dread the great plague of productivity and dream of a lifestyle that consists of fewer meetings, you will love today's conversation.
