Charlie Munger once said his philosophy was simple: “Figure out what makes people die and don’t do that.” In this episode, we apply that mindset to modern work. Everyone enjoys saying, “That meeting could’ve been an email,” but the truth is that the opposite is often more harmful. Emails hide work, lack acknowledgment, and create silent process debt. We explain why good meetings — with shared agendas, visible work, and real-time confirmation — actually foster accountability. Cut down your email volume by holding more effective meetings.
