Stop Winging Your Creative Meetings

If you're a filmmaker, entrepreneur, writer, podcaster, or creative leader who constantly leaves meetings feeling like nothing was accomplished, this episode is for you. I go over the meeting preparation system I use while developing my animated feature film The Arbiters, including how I organize notes, separate ideas from decisions, create actionable discussion points, and dramatically reduce confusion, revisions, wasted time, and unnecessary costs. Great creative projects aren't built during meetings—they're built through the preparation that happens before everyone sits down together.7-Day Challenge Spend one uninterrupted hour preparing before your next meeting. Write down every issue beforehand. Convert each issue into an actionable question or decision. Notice how much shorter and more productive the meeting becomes. 🚀 Looking for a Creative Collaborator or Coach?
