The Art of the 7 Minute Meeting
Me and Terri Trespicio with Gary Vaynerchuk at our friend Farnoosh Torabi’s launch party for her new CNBC show Follow the Leader. She interviews Gary in it.
I talk a lot about the biggest time wasters in the workplace.

It’s something a lot of people have trouble with. Read more
