Episode Overview:Meetings: love them, hate them, or multitask through them—why are they so often a mess? Eric and Jen dive into the chaos, sharing how meetings can suck less (spoiler: it starts with an agenda and the right people in the room).

What You’ll Learn:
- Why having a full calendar isn’t a sign of productivity.
- The “Bottom Line Up Front” (BLUF) trick to get to the point—fast.
- How to avoid the classic “everyone and their dog” invite list.

- The secret power of skilled facilitation (hint: it’s not just public speaking).
