Dan's in Henderson, Nevada thinking about one of the simplest productivity shifts he's made as a leader: replacing sitting-down meetings with walking meetings, and stacking virtual one-on-ones with errands, school drop-offs, and low-intensity cardio.

If you're running eight one-on-ones a week and dreading every Zoom call, this one is for you. And if you're a leader who wants a more energized, present team, the move is simple: stop requiring people to sit at a desk for every internal meeting and let them move instead.


Chapters:

00:00 | Intro: Why sitting through back-to-back virtual meetings is killing your energy

00:55 | How walk and talk 1:1s led to more creativity and more presence

01:34 | Real examples: school drop-offs, grocery runs, and treadmill cardio as meeting time

02:25 | How to audit your own week for low-cardio or errand windows you can stack with meetings

03:10 | What leaders gain when they enable their teams to do the same thing

04:03 | The one non-negotiable when doing walking meetings: cameras on

04:44 | Why moving during a meeting actually increases focus, not decreases it

You had the meeting anyway. You might as well be moving.
