I meant to reply sooner, but the afternoon got away from me and I just now sat down.
I checked the notes from yesterday and I think the simple plan makes the most sense. If we keep the agenda short, everyone will know what they need to bring and there will be less back and forth later.
I also liked your idea of starting earlier, mostly because it gives us time to adjust if anything runs behind. I can handle the first part and then hand things over once the discussion gets moving.
If you want, I can send a short recap tonight so it is easier to review in the morning. That usually helps me avoid forgetting one detail that seemed obvious at the time.
Either way, I am fine with keeping it low key and practical. Let me know which version you prefer, and I can make sure everything is lined up before the day starts.

I looked over everything again this morning, and I still think the easier route is the best one.
There were a lot of ideas flying around, but the parts that seem most useful are the ones that keep things simple and let everyone settle in before adding more steps.
I can take care of the outline and send it over after lunch. That should make the next conversation smoother and keep us from repeating the same points again.
I do not think we need to overthink the order either. If we decide on a clear start, a short middle, and a quick wrap-up, that will probably cover it.
I am available later if you want to talk it through live, but I am also happy to keep it in email if that is easier today. Either works for me, and I can adapt once you decide how you want to proceed.
