Mark and Cole unpack a simple but uncomfortable truth: if your weekly meetings aren’t working, your company probably isn’t either.

This conversation breaks down why so many teams dread meetings, what’s actually going wrong beneath the surface, and how those patterns reflect deeper issues with alignment, leadership, and discipline.

They walk through real scenarios inside leadership teams, from visionaries disrupting focus mid-quarter to teams avoiding the hard conversations that actually move the business forward.

At the center of it all is one idea: the weekly meeting is not just a meeting. It’s a signal. And if you learn how to read it, it will tell you exactly what’s working and what’s not inside your company.

You’ll Learn:

• Why most meetings feel like a waste of time
• How misalignment shows up in weekly meetings
• The role of the visionary in breaking or strengthening focus
• Why teams avoid the issues that matter most
• How great meetings create clarity, accountability, and momentum
