In this episode #49, we are talking with Jason Fried, Co-Founder of 37signals, Basecamp, Hey.com. Jason talks about the no-meetings setup they've got going on in the companies. Why it's important to understand the goals of the project before anyone starts to work on it. How pretty much everything you can discuss, you can discuss without the video which usually slows down every meeting.
