It’s no secret that many deals are made outside the boardroom.

In 2013, Jeff Bezos famously secured The Washington Post for $250 million while traipsing around Hailey, Idaho during the Allen & Company Sun Valley Conference.

You don’t have to be a billionaire to capitalize on a midday meeting, though. Enter: the power lunch. (Or should I say “remember the power lunch”?)



As the call to return to the office slowly drags on, many are taking advantage of what can happen over a nice meal.

Although she had a mixed review of the menu, what remains true is that productivity isn’t just reserved for the office.
