Why does every “quick update” from your manager turn into a 20-minute conversation?

Most bar owners don’t realize how much vague communication is slowing decisions, increasing burnout, and keeping them stuck in the weeds instead of running the business.

In this episode, I walk through the 1-3-1 Rule, a three-minute update format that forces clarity, speeds up decision-making, and trains managers to think in solutions.

If you’re tired of chasing details and want your team to communicate like leaders, this episode makes the fix simple.
