Ep 24: 10X Your Time by Fixing Your Meetings

Meetings get a bad rap, and there are whole books to prove it. But in this episode, Stephanie and Zach make the case that a meeting you dread is almost always a leadership problem in disguise: poorly set up, poorly run, or one that should never have been on the calendar. Stephanie comes in worn down by weeks of back-to-back calls and real decision fatigue, which turns out to be the perfect place to start. 

They dig into what actually separates a meeting that drives decisions from one that just drains everyone: leading with purpose, preparing (or canceling), holding people accountable without steamrolling them, and protecting the leader’s energy and thinking time as the company scales. Practical, tactical, and honest about their own mistakes along the way.
