I thought more meetings meant more alignment.
I was wrong.
Most agency “all hands” meetings aren’t actually all hands
They’re just bloated client roll calls.
Everyone sits there.
Half the room tunes out.
And somehow you leave with less clarity than you started with.
Sound familiar?
Here’s the uncomfortable truth:
If your meetings are just updates, you’re slowly killing your team’s energy.
Because updates don’t create alignment.
They don’t reinforce culture.
And they definitely don’t build momentum.
In this episode, I break down what a real all hands meeting should actually do and it’s probably not what you think.
He shares:
The 5 part structure that turns meetings into momentum machines
Why “client updates” are the fastest way to lose your team
The simple shift that gets everyone engaged (even the quiet ones)
And one moment that stood out
It explains why your culture disappears the second you leave the room and how most founders don’t even realize it’s happening.
If you’re trying to scale past that messy $1–3M stage
This is one of those small fixes that changes everything.

P.S. There’s a simple question I ask at the end of every meeting that forces your team to actually pay attention. Most founders skip this and it’s costing them more than they think.
