Jake Paul says Sam Altman taught him the value of 15-minute meetings

Jake Paul, now a professional boxer and venture capitalist, says he learned efficiency from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The two met while sitting next to each other at President Donald Trump's inauguration and bonded over a shared interest in fast cars. Paul described Altman's habit of running short, focused meetings: Altman "walks into the room, sits down, let's get right into the conversation, boom boom boom," and in 15 minutes was "hella productive." Paul added that hourlong meetings or calls often waste time and that "time is the most valuable thing, and it's the only reason you can't accomplish more." Altman has long favored brief meetings; in a 2018 blog post he wrote the ideal time is about 15 to 20 minutes or two hours, and that the default of one hour is usually wrong.

Paul's Anti Fund — led by him, his brother Logan and Geoffrey Woo — invested in OpenAI in 2025 and closed a $30 million fund in September.
