How to Run Meetings Your Team Actually Looks Forward To

What if your team actually looked forward to your weekly meetings? In this episode, Barrie sits down with the vibrant and insightful Natasha (Tash) Nass, CEO and founder of jane doe — a creative powerhouse on a mission to help brands find their true identity.

Having worked with Tash in a previous chapter, Barrie knew this would be a lively conversation filled with honesty, humour, and hard-won wisdom. Tash leads a mostly remote team of freelancers and creatives who thrive on autonomy, flexibility, and trust — yet, their weekly virtual meeting is a non-negotiable.

In her viral LinkedIn post, she described it as “the heartbeat of our rhythm” — the one space where her team reconnects, aligns, and sets themselves up for another week of creativity and freedom.

Together, Barrie and Tash unpack:

• What makes their weekly meeting so essential
• How to balance flexibility with structure
• Why great meetings aren’t about control, but connection
• And how leaders can design rhythms that bring energy rather than drain it

If you’ve ever wondered how to turn obligatory check-ins into moments of genuine engagement and inspiration, this episode is your playbook.
