Episode Description:
What if your next meeting didn’t drain your energy—but actually moved your mission forward?
In this episode of Mission Driven You, Will talks with Shane Parreco, systems thinker, product studio founder, and co-creator of AgendaKeeper, a tool designed to fix the fundamental dysfunction of modern meetings. But this isn’t a conversation about productivity hacks—it’s about rethinking the systems that govern how we work, communicate, and make decisions.
Shane shares the story behind AgendaKeeper—how it was born out of necessity inside his own team—and what it taught him about agency, culture, and the myth of "best practices." From invoking Deming’s philosophies to examining what makes someone a "willing worker," this episode invites leaders and builders to reimagine the meeting as a place of clarity, alignment, and real momentum.
If you're tired of performative collaboration and craving deeper trust and structure in your team, this conversation offers a refreshing, systems-level rethink of how we gather and grow.
