170: Meetings Don’t Have to Suck
Why do so many meetings leave people feeling drained instead of productive? Meet Heather. It’s 8 p.m. and she’s still staring at her laptop. Her days are packed with back-to-back meetings, leaving no time to think, plan, or actually do the work. By the end of the day, she feels exhausted, behind, and disconnected from the life waiting for her outside the screen. In this episode, Jay sits down with Mamie Kanfer Stewart, founder of Modern Manager and author of Momentum. Together, they unpack why most meetings fail, how poor meeting culture quietly drains energy and productivity, and what leaders can do to reclaim time, attention, and focus. Notable Quotes “A conversation can grow to the size of its fishbowl.” — Mamie Kanfer Stewart “Running meetings is a skill.” — Mamie Kanfer Stewart “There’s almost always someone in the meeting wondering why they’re there.” — Mamie Kanfer Stewart “Meetings don’t have to be the bane of existence at work.” — Mamie Kanfer Stewart About Our Guest Mamie Kanfer Stewart is the founder of Modern Manager, host of The Modern Manager Podcast, and author of Momentum.

What if the biggest thing holding you back… is something you didn’t even choose? Meet Ava. She’s successful, disciplined, and respected in her career, but lately something feels off. Deep down, she knows she wants more freedom, creativity, and alignment in her life. But every time she thinks about making a change, fear rushes in. The stable paycheck. The expectations.

166: Confidence Isn’t What You Think
What if confidence isn’t something you have… but something you build? Meet Gabriel. He spots a senior leader he admires and immediately looks away. Another missed opportunity. At work, he’s sharp, reliable, and trusted to solve complex problems. But when it comes to speaking up, especially around authority, his confidence disappears.

165: The Life You Want Starts Here
The life you want doesn’t start someday. It starts with how you think today.
