Breaking 1000 Podcast
The Anti–Death-by-Meeting Playbook | Ep 04
Most teams don’t hate meetings—they hate bad meetings. Scott and Hunter break down a simple, repeatable system to turn meetings into momentum: clear purpose, the right people (not just the hierarchy), a skilled facilitator, and a fully prepared, collaborative agenda. You’ll also get the “write your own” rule for action items/notes and the one ritual that keeps follow-through high: always start by reviewing last week’s actions.
