Finding Clarity in the Chaos: A Conversation with Juliet Funt (Part One)
In this episode, Clint sits down with Juliet Funt, author of “A Minute to Think” and Founder & CEO at JFG (Juliet Funt Group). Juliet shares the origin story of her leadership philosophy, how she went from improv comedy to boardroom strategy, and what she’s learned from helping companies like Spotify, Costco, and ESPN fight burnout and reclaim creativity. The two discuss the power of strategic pauses, why “white space” is more than just time to rest, and how a few quiet minutes each day can drive sharper thinking, better decisions, and stronger performance at every level. This is the first part of a two-part conversation. Topics Covered:
Juliet’s unique upbringing on the set of Candid Camera
Her pivot from improv comedy to corporate consulting
The origin and evolution of “white space” as a leadership concept
Why strategic pauses are essential for creativity and decision-making
The business cost of busyness (and how to reverse it)
How Juliet learned to find clarity while lying in the dark with her kids
The hidden ROI of giving teams room to think
Using white space for strategy, innovation, and focus
