Co-founder & CEO of Meetify

Welcome back to Water Cooler Comedy, the web’s only show (thankfully) where Meetify CEO Dan Rutledge turns workplace challenges into fake stand-up routines!

This week, we’re talking about the quiet chaos of in-person meetings. You know the ones. No mute button. No camera. Just you and a client and the terrifying reality of being physically present. If you’ve gotten a little too comfortable hiding behind a screen, this one’s for you.
