00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: we're just getting started. Okay, now it's time to start.

15
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: It's the Jewels Show. It is perfect. That's a video

16
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: that's gone viral on TikTok of a dude doing the

17
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: open of every zoom meeting. And that's how every Zoom

18
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: meeting does start. And it's like always the same thing

19
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: over and over and over again. By the way, the

20
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: word ping to me is the most over ease buzzword

21
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: in work. Right now, Yeah, let me ping them real quick,

22
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: and then they didn't. It's like, let me know when

23
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: you get pinged back. There's a lot of painting going on.

24
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: Um and that that video has gone viral, but it's

25
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 1: it's hilarious and true. Also, a study eighty nine percent

26
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: of workers would love just one day with no meeting.

27
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: That would be the life it would be. But would

28
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: you be more productive at work if there weren't any

29
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: meetings at all? I think so, yes, Yes, most can

30
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: be an email. Yes, I know there's a joke, but

31
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: it's true. It is very true. And I hate meetings

32
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: so much. And we work at a big company where

33
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: they want to have meetings all the time, meeting they

34
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: want to have meetings, to schedule meetings, meetings about meetings, meetings.

35
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 1: I feel like the remote things actually increased the number

36
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: of meetings by like, yeah, I feel like it. Well,

37
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: do you think that you're more productive in a meeting

38
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: at like at work or on zoom? I think I'm

39
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: more productive in a meeting at work like in person?

40
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: And how long do you think meetings should be jubile

41
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: twenty minutes? Twenty minutes? Yes, I think they should be

42
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: get done in twenty minutes everything right, No, I have

43
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: no idea. I think that they should be shorter. I

44
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: think they should be like twenty minutes. But the problem is,

45
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: and I'm guilty of this more than anybody else, people

46
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: re say the same point over and over and over

47
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: and over again during a meeting, and I do it

48
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: all the time, and I know myself, I'm like, shut up,

49
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: that's the fifth time you said it. Everybody's heard that

50
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: by now. Everybody wants to go, including you, log off.

51
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: I want to I want to hang up on my own.

52
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: I think you've actually said that on meetings. Yea, even

53
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: even like okay, I need to shut up at stops

54
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 1: of like I've already you guys already know I'm talking about. Anyway,

55
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: were going over a study that eighty nine percent of

56
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: workers would love just one day with no meetings, and

57
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: the top things that we hate about meetings are getting

58
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: their own time, meeting fatigue, and poor planning by the

59
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: person running them. Another thing about me, because Alex and

60
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: I am married. If he didn't know that, by the way,

61
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: I have to say that for new listeners. If you

62
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: already knew that, then sorry about it. Having to say

63
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 1: it all the time, but just for the new listeners,

64
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: so it makes sense. But we were getting ready and

65
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: we had a meeting one day in that in the

66
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: like later on that day, and she was like, um,

67
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: can you like make an agenda? And I was like,

68
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: I will look up the definition for what that is

69
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: and then sure. But she's just like, we never have

70
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: any direction on the meet and then they go like

71
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: an hour and a half because it should be like

72
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: forty five minutes. And I'm like, it should be and

73
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: that's a really good idea. Why has nobody thought of

74
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: agendas before, like writing down all the key points? And

75
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: then she's like that happens all the time. It's like, wow,

76
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: my mind is blown. Obviously, I'm not a very good

77
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: corporate employee. I think meetings waste so much time. Though

78
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: literally most things could be an email or just a

79
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: real quick phone call and not even that text message.

80
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: I say too, Let's try that, guys, Let's try that.

81
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: The key to the future is asynchronous communication. Let me

82
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: break it down for you. I've worked at a startup before,

83
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: and there are no meetings that startups. They just ping

84
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: each other. All of the work that you do is

85
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: based upon the work that you do it's not based

86
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: upon other people, and so there's no requirement for meetings

87
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: unless you're actually showing somebody and you're walking them through something.

88
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: That's how it should be. That's exactly how it should

89
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: every startup I've worked for runs. I love that logic

90
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: me too, And I've always been like that, like, hey,

91
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: if you're doing your job, cool, right, and then when

92
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: you're done with your work, go ahead and do something else.

93
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: But I think the old like the way, the old

94
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: school way of doing it is like if you don't

95
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: really work, you have to fake it for another four hours,

96
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: like actin like you're working three cups of coffee in

97
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: the kitchen. Okay, you're actually kind of getting me upset now,

98
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: juable because we are the most unproductive group that I

99
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: have ever been part of. I actually had that conversation

100
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: on a Zoom meeting the other day. I was like,

101
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: I don't know how I'm supposed to do all this

102
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: stuff when I have a thousand meetings, or when they'm

103
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: supposed to be on the phone for an hour and

104
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: a half or two hours or three hours in the afternoon, Like,

105
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: I don't know when to do this stuff. Does all

106
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: the other people hate meetings too. Everybody complains about meetings,

107
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: but everybody just keeps scheduling meetings. Right, we should come

108
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: together as one and talk about it. Let's have a

109
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 1: meeting this afternoon, all right. Remember you can follow the

110
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: show on social media. At the Jewels Show, you can

111
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: follow all of us individually. I'm at Jewel Fresh, I'm

00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: at that Dreas, I'm at Brad Nowell
