then I might have quite a few meetings.

1:11

And that's why I'm busy now.

1:14

But generally, we have a lot of...

1:17

a few meetings together as a team,

1:21

but I don't think we have loads of meetings.

1:25

Compared to other jobs, I don't think we have many meetings.

1:29

Most of our work is producing things and editing and writing.

1:35

But you're right. When there are lots

1:37

of big projects that we need to talk to other people on the project,

1:42

we have more meetings.

1:44

But yeah, like you, it really depends.

1:46

So, when do you think meetings are useful?

1:50

I think when you need to brainstorm.

1:56

So, a brainstorm is when you have lots of new ideas and

2:01

you need to talk about them together.

2:03

I think then meetings are really useful because you hear lots of new ideas,

2:09

and when you're in a room with other people, if,

2:14

for example, I have an idea and you say, that's good,

2:17

and we can also do this and we can all work together,

2:22

and I think those kind of meetings are really useful.
