00:00:00.000 Meetings are the biggest time waster in any company.

00:00:02.860 I remember one time,

00:00:03.660 one of the companies that bought my company,

00:00:05.320 somebody sent an invite for a two-hour session on SEO.

00:00:09.400 And every engineer didn't know any better.

00:00:10.760 They said, okay, well, I guess I got invited, I gotta go.

00:00:12.560 And I'm looking around and I'm doing the math.

00:00:14.300 I know these people make a couple hundred thousand a year.

00:00:16.240 That meeting cost the company close to $100,000.

00:00:19.500 My default is to push against meetings.

00:00:21.660 My default is to say, hey, what was the prep work?

00:00:24.660 What was the thinking?

00:00:25.520 What was the strategy that should have went

00:00:27.020 into the thing we're talking about

00:00:28.620 way before it ever showed up.
