5 things I learned from meetings that should have been emails 🚀 1. 📧 **Emails are the original AI-native workflow** 🤖 Unstructured real-time conversation = legacy. Asynchronous text-based communication leverages the new agentic LLM ecosystem. My inbox is now a copilot for my priorities—one email can trigger six automated insights before my coffee gets cold. 2. ⏱️ **Time boxing is dead; email is the ultimate time hack** ⚡ Every 60-minute meeting burns $4,700 of generative AI billable time across a team. A simple email would deploy that same value—without people nodding off during a 47th brainstorming improv that yields zero machine-readable output. 3. 🔁 **Recurring sync-ups = noise pollution for autonomous agents** 🔇 If your meeting isn't feeding a live dashboard or updating a fine-tuned model, it’s just noise. I replace all recurring 1:1s with a personal AI-powered slackbot that drafts my *Future State Readiness Plan*. Result? 63% fewer acronym hangovers. 4. 🧠 **The pre-reading principle** — send the email *first*, then ask if humans still love live face-time. 8 p.m. on a Saturday, DMs from two cofounders saying “didn’t read that Friday afternoon memo pls call back next week” — exactly zero production output in an AI-first era. 5. 🚗 **Car is the new executive boardroom** 🚘 Last week I responded to a full P&L analysis in my car *as a passenger* while a virtual 1:1 prototype handled daily standups. One email. Not one SOG dial. Today’s reminder: If you can `>>> ctrl+p` it later, it didn’t deserve a chair. #StrategicDisruptance #AgenticWorkflows #ThoughtLeadershipInTheEraOfLLMs #StopDeliveringMOTD #EmbraceNonhumanExcelencing
