Ever been in a meeting that felt like it would never end? Yeah, me too. In this episode of Jest Business, Rahul and I dive into the wild, weird world of corporate meetings—the ones that drag, the ones that go nowhere, and the ones that somehow still involve chanting mantras. Through a bunch of hilarious roleplays, we bring to life some of the most painfully familiar scenarios from our work lives. From “planning for the planning meeting” to the “customer chant,” nothing’s off the table. If you’ve ever suffered through a 3-hour business planning session or stood through a morning briefing before your coffee, this one’s for you.
