162 00:10:05.240 ⇒ 00:10:11.439 Uttam Kumaran: So that’s the thing it’s like, if you’re on a yearly lease. The prices come down so dramatically in like the last 4 months.
163 00:10:11.440 ⇒ 00:10:11.780 Brian McGough: Yeah.
164 00:10:11.780 ⇒ 00:10:16.970 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I think one is a function of people just like, are we negotiating at least right now through the summer?
165 00:10:17.000 ⇒ 00:10:18.590 Uttam Kumaran: Second is.
166 00:10:19.790 ⇒ 00:10:25.040 Uttam Kumaran: a lot of people are now, instead of selling their house. We’re like, okay, just to get anything going. We’re rent it out.
167 00:10:25.290 ⇒ 00:10:27.579 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. So there’s a lot of rental coming in.
168 00:10:27.580 ⇒ 00:10:28.240 Brian McGough: So man.
169 00:10:28.240 ⇒ 00:10:31.930 Uttam Kumaran: There it is, dude. There’s still so much apartments coming online.
170 00:10:32.520 ⇒ 00:10:36.410 Brian McGough: Yeah, yeah, I’m sure. Just all the all the building that’s been happening.
171 00:10:36.680 ⇒ 00:10:45.309 Uttam Kumaran: So it’s like really tough, because you have a crowd that wants like, there’s a crowd here that wants to live in an apartment so like I’ll live on rainy, or live downtown, or.
172 00:10:45.310 ⇒ 00:10:45.675 Brian McGough: Yeah.
173 00:10:46.040 ⇒ 00:10:50.549 Uttam Kumaran: I kind of like don’t really get cause I’m like dude. It took 5 min away, and.
174 00:10:51.460 ⇒ 00:10:52.260 Brian McGough: Yeah. Why would you do that.
175 00:10:52.260 ⇒ 00:10:58.390 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, there’s a probably beers like, I would kind of like like the house now, because I can get it for pretty much what I’m paying.
176 00:10:58.746 ⇒ 00:11:02.690 Uttam Kumaran: It’s like I feel like 2 bedroom houses like my parents can say friends can say
177 00:11:03.537 ⇒ 00:11:07.680 Uttam Kumaran: and I can get on the East Side, which is like, I love this area town.
178 00:11:08.160 ⇒ 00:11:14.539 Brian McGough: I feel like the people who want to live in apartments on rainy are people who like just turned 21 and like, just
179 00:11:14.690 ⇒ 00:11:15.560 Brian McGough: graduated from Yeah.

183 00:11:21.651 ⇒ 00:11:26.689 Uttam Kumaran: You can be in a mix. And I’m like you guys don’t get it. There’s no like real mix here.
184 00:11:26.690 ⇒ 00:11:29.269 Brian McGough: Why would you want to be in the mix like the mix is.
185 00:11:29.270 ⇒ 00:11:30.590 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know.
186 00:11:30.590 ⇒ 00:11:31.170 Brian McGough: Hello!

193 00:11:42.900 ⇒ 00:11:43.320 Brian McGough: Yeah.
194 00:11:43.320 ⇒ 00:11:47.110 Uttam Kumaran: I’m not even that far, and you get a house for like the same price. So.
195 00:11:48.150 ⇒ 00:11:51.460 Brian McGough: They just wanna be able to like pick up drunk girls like outside of the.
196 00:11:51.460 ⇒ 00:11:51.940 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
197 00:11:51.940 ⇒ 00:11:52.460 Brian McGough: Firstly.
198 00:11:52.460 ⇒ 00:12:06.189 Uttam Kumaran: I wanna throw. I wanna have friends over for dinner like I wanna have friends fly in from New York and stuff and stay with them like, that’s what I. That’s what I want. And I’m like awesome great area for that East Side, because people can. So we just walk around. And
199 00:12:06.480 ⇒ 00:12:09.169 Uttam Kumaran: it’s great I’m looking. I can’t. Yeah. So.
200 00:12:09.170 ⇒ 00:12:16.510 Brian McGough: It’s a it’s a great, it’s a it’s like one of the, you know. I I don’t know if I would live in Austin if I would choose to, but like
201 00:12:16.660 ⇒ 00:12:29.539 Brian McGough: it’s pretty close as far as like having the intersection of tech and like nightlife and food, and like dating, and also personal space.
202 00:12:29.990 ⇒ 00:12:30.420 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
203 00:12:30.420 ⇒ 00:12:43.390 Brian McGough: You know. So it’s it definitely like, if if I think if if it was for the weather, the weather was a little bit better, or if it was like, by the ocean, Austin would be like, there’s no way that the that it would be as cheap as it is, you know, like
204 00:12:44.130 ⇒ 00:12:45.849 Brian McGough: it’s just but
205 00:12:46.280 ⇒ 00:12:48.320 Uttam Kumaran: It is landlocked, which is, yeah.
206 00:12:48.660 ⇒ 00:12:49.250 Brian McGough: Yeah.
207 00:12:49.750 ⇒ 00:12:57.090 Brian McGough: I mean, I don’t know. I hear they’re putting like wave pools in in in nearby areas. There’s like, there’s like a wave pool in Waco. That’s supposed to be amazing.
208 00:12:57.363 ⇒ 00:12:59.279 Uttam Kumaran: Big wave pulling! Wake up at everybody.
209 00:12:59.350 ⇒ 00:13:00.720 Brian McGough: We wanna check that out.
210 00:13:00.720 ⇒ 00:13:01.390 Uttam Kumaran: Eddie.
211 00:13:01.510 ⇒ 00:13:10.800 Uttam Kumaran: I end up. I end up traveling like I leave Austin a lot. A lot of people are like they’re sitting here. I’m like. Did I go to the I go to Cali to go to New York.
212 00:13:11.140 ⇒ 00:13:12.300 Brian McGough: Yeah, I mean, and that’s that’s.
213 00:13:12.300 ⇒ 00:13:13.819 Uttam Kumaran: So I get my fix out.
214 00:13:14.150 ⇒ 00:13:28.940 Brian McGough: Yeah. And like my friend, who was thinking about living there is like his family lives on East Coast. And then his ex girlfriend, who’s like maybe patching things up with I don’t know. He lives on the West Coast. So it’s kind of like for people who want to be like bicoastal like that.
215 00:13:28.940 ⇒ 00:13:29.600 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
216 00:13:29.600 ⇒ 00:13:38.120 Brian McGough: It’s perfect, you know, and and like, you can also travel to Latin America really quickly. It is a great like like physical location.
217 00:13:38.380 ⇒ 00:13:40.340 Brian McGough: If you travel a lot
218 00:13:41.230 ⇒ 00:13:41.960 Brian McGough: that doubt.
219 00:13:41.960 ⇒ 00:13:46.090 Uttam Kumaran: I think I think still for our job, though it’s not like for tech.
220 00:13:46.130 ⇒ 00:13:50.129 Uttam Kumaran: I think Sf. And New York are still number one.
221 00:13:50.130 ⇒ 00:13:50.990 Brian McGough: Yeah.
222 00:13:51.270 ⇒ 00:13:54.689 Brian McGough: I mean, as far as like working in person and stuff. But.
223 00:13:54.690 ⇒ 00:13:58.590 Uttam Kumaran: Working in person and like meeting people that are in that and.
224 00:13:58.590 ⇒ 00:13:59.340 Brian McGough: Yeah.
225 00:13:59.340 ⇒ 00:14:01.020 Uttam Kumaran: Kind of having the culture around that like.
226 00:14:01.020 ⇒ 00:14:04.289 Brian McGough: Oh, you don’t! You don’t feel like there’s a tech culture in Austin.
227 00:14:04.290 ⇒ 00:14:08.459 Uttam Kumaran: There is, but it’s kinda like it’s kinda like a little bit early.
228 00:14:08.970 ⇒ 00:14:09.720 Brian McGough: The apple.
229 00:14:09.720 ⇒ 00:14:12.759 Uttam Kumaran: Like the the people who are really, really talented aren’t here.
230 00:14:13.350 ⇒ 00:14:15.650 Brian McGough: Yeah. No. That makes that makes sense.
231 00:14:15.650 ⇒ 00:14:21.140 Uttam Kumaran: It’s kind of like they’re trying to induce it a little bit. But again, it’s like, Look, you can’t have everything. So I’m kinda like.
232 00:14:21.950 ⇒ 00:14:22.290 Brian McGough: Yeah.
233 00:14:22.290 ⇒ 00:14:23.410 Uttam Kumaran: Have had fuck that you have.
234 00:14:23.410 ⇒ 00:14:29.550 Brian McGough: Dude. I I have. I have had thoughts about like going to San Francisco and like getting a job there.
235 00:14:29.550 ⇒ 00:14:34.180 Uttam Kumaran: I have some friends that are doing that just because they’re like dude. Everyone here is really really founded.
236 00:14:34.430 ⇒ 00:14:35.160 Brian McGough: Yeah.
237 00:14:35.840 ⇒ 00:14:38.340 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know. I don’t like San Francisco that much.
238 00:14:38.714 ⇒ 00:14:42.080 Brian McGough: You know, I I’m not crazy about like the
239 00:14:42.180 ⇒ 00:14:45.019 Brian McGough: the culture, but it does have ocean, and like.
240 00:14:46.010 ⇒ 00:14:53.099 Brian McGough: you know, and it’s it can be really beautiful. I think, like sometimes it can get really depressing and like bleak. But
241 00:14:53.390 ⇒ 00:14:54.910 Brian McGough: it can also be
242 00:14:55.420 ⇒ 00:14:57.759 Brian McGough: yeah, like, super super nice.
243 00:14:57.760 ⇒ 00:14:58.850 Uttam Kumaran: There’s ups and downs
244 00:14:59.430 ⇒ 00:15:00.040 Uttam Kumaran: for sure.
245 00:15:00.040 ⇒ 00:15:00.700 Brian McGough: Yeah.
246 00:15:00.970 ⇒ 00:15:08.370 Brian McGough: But yeah, that’s where all the that’s where all the the AI shit is happening right now. I feel like I went to this like meetup. I went to this meetup
247 00:15:11.150 ⇒ 00:15:18.160 Brian McGough: like couple of weeks ago, and all the and it was like jam packed with people and all the demos fucking suck
248 00:15:18.330 ⇒ 00:15:31.400 Brian McGough: I was like, is this really what people are demoing like? Some of the demos? I was like embarrassed for people to be. And and and you know, I think there was. And I heard somebody talking in a podcast. About how like
249 00:15:31.500 ⇒ 00:15:38.150 Brian McGough: Austin or have a like New York is really like New York has tech. But it’s like business tech, you know.
250 00:15:38.300 ⇒ 00:15:38.900 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
251 00:15:39.080 ⇒ 00:15:44.699 Brian McGough: In a certain way, and and San Francisco just has like a like a lot more of the kind of cutting edge like.
252 00:15:45.079 ⇒ 00:15:50.010 Uttam Kumaran: On the side are doing crazy shit, but they work in like Facebook.
253 00:15:50.450 ⇒ 00:15:52.549 Brian McGough: Yeah, yeah, people who are pretty much.
254 00:15:52.550 ⇒ 00:15:54.030 Uttam Kumaran: Obsessed with coding.
255 00:15:54.380 ⇒ 00:15:57.799 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, you have, like the really, really people who are obsessed. But.
256 00:15:57.800 ⇒ 00:15:58.520 Brian McGough: Yeah.
257 00:15:58.520 ⇒ 00:16:02.390 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know. I think if you end up cultivating a group of people.
258 00:16:02.430 ⇒ 00:16:04.670 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, you could just find that. And some of that.
259 00:16:04.670 ⇒ 00:16:05.190 Brian McGough: Yeah.
260 00:16:05.190 ⇒ 00:16:07.289 Uttam Kumaran: You can be around them, but you also have to do it.
261 00:16:07.870 ⇒ 00:16:11.189 Brian McGough: You know, and it’s like I don’t wanna do. I don’t wanna do that at all.
262 00:16:11.190 ⇒ 00:16:12.300 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, like.
263 00:16:12.300 ⇒ 00:16:12.780 Brian McGough: I.
264 00:16:12.780 ⇒ 00:16:14.780 Uttam Kumaran: My life in that culture kind of like.
265 00:16:14.780 ⇒ 00:16:15.930 Brian McGough: Oh, no. Yeah.
266 00:16:15.930 ⇒ 00:16:16.690 Uttam Kumaran: Path.
267 00:16:17.660 ⇒ 00:16:21.126 Brian McGough: Yeah, no, I also do not want to.
268 00:16:22.240 ⇒ 00:16:25.369 Brian McGough: I do not. I also do not want to. Like
269 00:16:25.650 ⇒ 00:16:29.350 Brian McGough: code outside of business hours ever.
270 00:16:29.720 ⇒ 00:16:30.310 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
271 00:16:31.090 ⇒ 00:16:33.286 Brian McGough: I don’t get people who do. But you know
272 00:16:34.060 ⇒ 00:16:35.360 Brian McGough: different strokes.
273 00:16:35.850 ⇒ 00:16:44.880 Brian McGough: But anyway, man, what’s going on any any updates around AI shit any words from
274 00:16:45.050 ⇒ 00:16:47.200 Brian McGough: Nimbley, or anything.
275 00:16:48.060 ⇒ 00:16:50.840 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I mean, I’ve just put a texting with Brittany here and there. I think
276 00:16:51.880 ⇒ 00:16:54.659 Uttam Kumaran: she’s kind of like back to drawing board, trying to figure out like
277 00:16:55.510 ⇒ 00:16:57.630 Uttam Kumaran: what direction I wanna take the product which is.
278 00:16:57.630 ⇒ 00:16:58.200 Brian McGough: Yeah.
279 00:16:58.200 ⇒ 00:16:59.869 Uttam Kumaran: Direction. I think they should have gone.
280 00:17:00.000 ⇒ 00:17:04.935 Uttam Kumaran: The other thing I’m working on with some. I’m actually working with 2 people in Austin. Here is
281 00:17:05.670 ⇒ 00:17:09.180 Uttam Kumaran: kind of like an email scheduling
282 00:17:09.329 ⇒ 00:17:13.189 Uttam Kumaran: agent that basically you can CC into your emails.
283 00:17:13.210 ⇒ 00:17:14.550 Uttam Kumaran: And then.
284 00:17:14.569 ⇒ 00:17:18.579 Uttam Kumaran: like takes care of back and forth, scheduling between 2 people.
285 00:17:19.336 ⇒ 00:17:22.690 Uttam Kumaran: And basically what it does is it just looks up your Google Calendar.
286 00:17:23.303 ⇒ 00:17:27.770 Uttam Kumaran: Availability says that to the person reads a response and books the meeting.
287 00:17:28.621 ⇒ 00:17:31.510 Uttam Kumaran: Not trying to build like a little lightweight tool to do that.
288 00:17:32.020 ⇒ 00:17:33.929 Uttam Kumaran: So I’m kind of like tinkering with that
289 00:17:33.960 ⇒ 00:17:36.190 Uttam Kumaran: last like week or so. Basically
290 00:17:38.100 ⇒ 00:17:40.110 Uttam Kumaran: as we kind of thought. And then.
291 00:17:40.890 ⇒ 00:17:44.580 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, otherwise, like, not a ton has been coming
292 00:17:45.220 ⇒ 00:17:47.950 Uttam Kumaran: down the pipe on like new projects.
293 00:17:48.500 ⇒ 00:17:51.959 Uttam Kumaran: But I’m basically just like I wanna try to play around with the new Facebook
294 00:17:52.644 ⇒ 00:17:55.689 Uttam Kumaran: model, which I may try to use for this stuff.
295 00:17:56.310 ⇒ 00:17:57.060 Brian McGough: Llama.
296 00:17:57.400 ⇒ 00:17:58.150 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
297 00:17:58.370 ⇒ 00:18:00.060 Brian McGough: Lama 3, or whatever.
298 00:18:00.060 ⇒ 00:18:00.810 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
299 00:18:03.760 ⇒ 00:18:08.109 Uttam Kumaran: But otherwise, like, yeah, I think this is like a fun use case. I’m gonna try. And then.
300 00:18:10.240 ⇒ 00:18:18.389 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, I’m like, I’m the the like. Brain forge on the data side is starting to stabilize a bit which is really good. I have like a little bit more time
301 00:18:18.720 ⇒ 00:18:22.819 Uttam Kumaran: for myself, which is right now, going to a lot of like bookkeeping, and like
302 00:18:22.860 ⇒ 00:18:25.430 Uttam Kumaran: some shit I’ve just like not handled.
303 00:18:25.760 ⇒ 00:18:26.090 Brian McGough: Yeah.
304 00:18:26.370 ⇒ 00:18:29.270 Uttam Kumaran: But that stuff is is going
305 00:18:29.540 ⇒ 00:18:36.750 Uttam Kumaran: well, Zoom and Chang, who’s in the Channel. So he’s he worked as like an ex Mackenzie. AI, guy.
306 00:18:37.360 ⇒ 00:18:38.130 Brian McGough: Yeah, yeah.
307 00:18:38.300 ⇒ 00:18:41.379 Uttam Kumaran: You know, basically just wanted to include him. And like.
308 00:18:41.760 ⇒ 00:18:45.490 Uttam Kumaran: just see, like kind of, he’s working on some projects on his own. So
309 00:18:45.560 ⇒ 00:18:50.939 Uttam Kumaran: I’m kind of just like kind of my ears that people have seen. Like, if there’s any project we want to work on.
310 00:18:51.200 ⇒ 00:18:52.240 Uttam Kumaran: But yeah.
311 00:18:54.120 ⇒ 00:18:57.800 Brian McGough: Okay, so it doesn’t sound like there’s a whole lot going on AI side.
312 00:18:59.165 ⇒ 00:18:59.990 Brian McGough: Cool?
313 00:19:00.660 ⇒ 00:19:01.545 Brian McGough: Well,
314 00:19:02.770 ⇒ 00:19:04.409 Brian McGough: yeah, I mean, I guess.
315 00:19:04.430 ⇒ 00:19:06.939 Brian McGough: Let me know if there’s anything
316 00:19:07.370 ⇒ 00:19:10.549 Brian McGough: that I can help with, or
317 00:19:12.850 ⇒ 00:19:14.980 Brian McGough: or you know, if there’s anything.

321 00:19:30.905 ⇒ 00:19:31.260 Brian McGough: Yeah.
322 00:19:32.244 ⇒ 00:19:36.079 Uttam Kumaran: I have a couple of different AI people that I’m starting to talk to
323 00:19:36.546 ⇒ 00:19:40.690 Uttam Kumaran: and even on this trip to India my cousin is involved some businesses there
324 00:19:40.740 ⇒ 00:19:45.690 Uttam Kumaran: that we started talking to them about some AI stuff. So I’m sure something is gonna come across.
325 00:19:46.510 ⇒ 00:19:47.100 Brian McGough: I knew.
326 00:19:47.100 ⇒ 00:19:48.639 Uttam Kumaran: For us sometime soon. But
327 00:19:50.400 ⇒ 00:19:53.849 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, basically, just like still tinkering with with random stuff kind of.
328 00:19:54.390 ⇒ 00:19:55.050 Brian McGough: Oak.
329 00:19:55.470 ⇒ 00:19:56.140 Brian McGough: cool man.
330 00:19:56.140 ⇒ 00:20:01.930 Uttam Kumaran: I mean, I think, for the nimbly stuff. I may end up turning that to like a little case study and putting on the site.
331 00:20:02.690 ⇒ 00:20:04.429 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, next month or 2,
332 00:20:04.800 ⇒ 00:20:09.079 Uttam Kumaran: maybe. Like, go send that to some people and see what they think.
333 00:20:10.730 ⇒ 00:20:11.850 Uttam Kumaran: that’s kind of it.
334 00:20:12.740 ⇒ 00:20:13.330 Brian McGough: Yes.
335 00:20:13.780 ⇒ 00:20:14.710 Brian McGough: cool. Man.
336 00:20:15.960 ⇒ 00:20:17.460 Brian McGough: Sounds about right.
337 00:20:19.022 ⇒ 00:20:20.470 Uttam Kumaran: How’s up with you?
338 00:20:21.250 ⇒ 00:20:21.980 Brian McGough: What’s that?
339 00:20:22.250 ⇒ 00:20:24.036 Uttam Kumaran: How’s up with you on the work side.
340 00:20:25.452 ⇒ 00:20:27.349 Brian McGough: You know it’s
341 00:20:27.820 ⇒ 00:20:29.250 Brian McGough: been
342 00:20:29.958 ⇒ 00:20:34.999 Brian McGough: I’ve I’ve been mostly like doing whatever the fuck I want.
343 00:20:35.860 ⇒ 00:20:36.550 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
344 00:20:36.860 ⇒ 00:20:38.939 Brian McGough: Yeah, which means
345 00:20:39.130 ⇒ 00:20:40.200 Brian McGough: surfing.
346 00:20:42.320 ⇒ 00:20:44.419 Brian McGough: Yeah, I’ve just been kind of like
347 00:20:44.660 ⇒ 00:20:47.229 Brian McGough: hanging out. I’m I’m so I’m doing like
348 00:20:47.410 ⇒ 00:20:54.308 Brian McGough: some coding here and there I worked on a bunch of different, like random AI things.
349 00:20:55.340 ⇒ 00:20:57.380 Brian McGough: and I
350 00:20:57.880 ⇒ 00:21:01.860 Brian McGough: am considering doing this program here in New York
351 00:21:02.490 ⇒ 00:21:04.065 Brian McGough: at some point.
352 00:21:05.370 ⇒ 00:21:08.330 Brian McGough: but yeah, I mean, I don’t know. I think like
353 00:21:11.200 ⇒ 00:21:12.650 Brian McGough: the
354 00:21:13.140 ⇒ 00:21:16.120 Brian McGough: like, I’m kind of coming to realization that, like what I
355 00:21:17.040 ⇒ 00:21:22.070 Brian McGough: would need to like. I I’m I guess I’m trying to figure out if what I want to do is
356 00:21:22.430 ⇒ 00:21:25.393 Brian McGough: start consulting kind of on my own
357 00:21:26.400 ⇒ 00:21:27.790 Brian McGough: or like
358 00:21:30.260 ⇒ 00:21:31.819 Brian McGough: or if I want to
359 00:21:32.100 ⇒ 00:21:34.239 Brian McGough: get a job again at some point.
360 00:21:37.703 ⇒ 00:21:38.930 Brian McGough: so like.
361 00:21:40.650 ⇒ 00:21:42.889 Brian McGough: so yeah, I’m mostly just trying to figure
362 00:21:43.070 ⇒ 00:21:45.699 Brian McGough: that out. I haven’t really done a whole lot of
363 00:21:48.100 ⇒ 00:21:49.969 Brian McGough: work into
364 00:21:50.160 ⇒ 00:21:52.970 Brian McGough: binding. Consult like I signed up for like upward.
365 00:21:53.060 ⇒ 00:21:54.310 Brian McGough: yeah, and
366 00:21:56.720 ⇒ 00:21:58.229 Brian McGough: da da da da da
367 00:21:59.300 ⇒ 00:22:00.025 Brian McGough: and
368 00:22:02.620 ⇒ 00:22:04.520 Brian McGough: yeah, I don’t know. I’m just like kind of
369 00:22:04.610 ⇒ 00:22:10.159 Brian McGough: poking around with a couple of different ideas, mostly just enjoying, not working.
370 00:22:11.390 ⇒ 00:22:13.390 Uttam Kumaran: I mean, do it? Take some time and do that.
371 00:22:13.920 ⇒ 00:22:14.490 Brian McGough: Yeah.
372 00:22:14.490 ⇒ 00:22:23.439 Uttam Kumaran: I like consulting, but it’s a different piece work you find to be super chill. Don’t you probably try to figure how to do both or like, get a job
373 00:22:23.530 ⇒ 00:22:25.930 Uttam Kumaran: figure out consulting. Then did the job?
374 00:22:26.200 ⇒ 00:22:26.850 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
375 00:22:27.840 ⇒ 00:22:30.030 Uttam Kumaran: but you’re completely done with people. Stuff.
376 00:22:31.160 ⇒ 00:22:33.100 Brian McGough: Oh, yeah, yeah. I’m done with pretty cool.
377 00:22:35.410 ⇒ 00:22:36.000 Uttam Kumaran: Shopper.
378 00:22:36.000 ⇒ 00:22:37.979 Brian McGough: No more frequent in my life.
379 00:22:38.780 ⇒ 00:22:41.130 Brian McGough: yeah, I don’t know. I think like
380 00:22:41.170 ⇒ 00:22:43.650 Brian McGough: I have. You know, I have this little trip coming up
381 00:22:44.190 ⇒ 00:22:50.449 Brian McGough: and then I don’t really know I’m I’m I’m what about my pro? What I’m planning on doing is like taking this little trip.
382 00:22:50.950 ⇒ 00:22:52.150 Brian McGough: and then
383 00:22:53.090 ⇒ 00:23:00.009 Brian McGough: maybe at some points our new ply for a job. There’s a couple of companies that I have my eye on.
384 00:23:00.320 ⇒ 00:23:01.034 Brian McGough: And
385 00:23:03.110 ⇒ 00:23:05.899 Brian McGough: yeah, I don’t know. I I’m not, I guess, like
386 00:23:06.840 ⇒ 00:23:08.070 Brian McGough: the
387 00:23:10.110 ⇒ 00:23:13.609 Brian McGough: I. Yeah, I don’t know. I’m I’m not exactly sure
388 00:23:14.390 ⇒ 00:23:20.629 Brian McGough: how to get started with consulting like how to find I you know, I don’t know. I mean, I I think there’s probably things that I could do
389 00:23:20.650 ⇒ 00:23:23.150 Brian McGough: if I was very motivated.
390 00:23:23.360 ⇒ 00:23:24.740 Brian McGough: Yeah, to do so.
391 00:23:26.710 ⇒ 00:23:32.720 Brian McGough: But yeah, I don’t know. I’m it’s kind of I I guess. The the long, the short answer is, I’m kind of
392 00:23:32.990 ⇒ 00:23:35.410 Brian McGough: like feeling shit out at the moment.
393 00:23:36.389 ⇒ 00:23:37.020 Brian McGough: Cool.
394 00:23:37.020 ⇒ 00:23:37.959 Uttam Kumaran: I mean good.
395 00:23:38.730 ⇒ 00:23:39.226 Brian McGough: And
396 00:23:40.400 ⇒ 00:23:43.470 Brian McGough: and probably just gonna hang out for a little bit longer, and
397 00:23:43.710 ⇒ 00:23:48.379 Brian McGough: until I start to see my bank account decreasing, and then I’ll be like, Oh, fuck! I can do something now.
398 00:23:49.880 ⇒ 00:23:50.480 Brian McGough: you know.
399 00:23:50.480 ⇒ 00:23:54.520 Uttam Kumaran: I mean, do that take some time, and I feel like getting time in between. Stuff is like.
400 00:23:54.750 ⇒ 00:23:55.829 Uttam Kumaran: really, really bad.
401 00:23:56.910 ⇒ 00:24:00.170 Brian McGough: Yeah, it’s definitely kind of making me
402 00:24:01.300 ⇒ 00:24:02.750 Brian McGough: rethink
403 00:24:04.120 ⇒ 00:24:05.990 Brian McGough: just everything. And
404 00:24:06.170 ⇒ 00:24:10.780 Brian McGough: in life, you know, like my relationship with work and.
405 00:24:10.780 ⇒ 00:24:11.340 Uttam Kumaran: Yes.
406 00:24:12.379 ⇒ 00:24:15.669 Brian McGough: What I want to do and like what my ideal
407 00:24:17.540 ⇒ 00:24:19.530 Brian McGough: kind of life is like. You know.
408 00:24:21.930 ⇒ 00:24:27.389 Uttam Kumaran: I think it’s good. I mean, Dude. I think people in the Us. Don’t get opportunity to do that because
409 00:24:27.490 ⇒ 00:24:30.090 Uttam Kumaran: you’re just forced to work. So if you have an opportunity.
410 00:24:30.090 ⇒ 00:24:30.900 Brian McGough: Exactly.
411 00:24:30.900 ⇒ 00:24:31.870 Uttam Kumaran: Take the guy.
412 00:24:33.100 ⇒ 00:24:39.739 Brian McGough: Yeah, I think this little program would be cool. I would basically just like, hang around and build AI shit for
413 00:24:44.820 ⇒ 00:24:47.930 Brian McGough: I basically just like, hang out and build AI
414 00:24:48.586 ⇒ 00:24:53.569 Brian McGough: shit for like a month or 2 with some other people who are interested in the same shit.
415 00:24:56.010 ⇒ 00:25:00.290 Brian McGough: and I think that would be kind of a good way for me to get more into it. But yeah, I think
416 00:25:00.440 ⇒ 00:25:01.790 Brian McGough: I guess I also
417 00:25:02.380 ⇒ 00:25:07.550 Brian McGough: started to look into AI engineer positions and realize that
418 00:25:08.050 ⇒ 00:25:15.000 Brian McGough: I don’t know if kind of like the thing, you know. Yeah, I I think there, there’s probably a lot more learning that
419 00:25:15.360 ⇒ 00:25:19.350 Brian McGough: I would need to do before I’m actually like in a position like that.
420 00:25:20.350 ⇒ 00:25:21.070 Brian McGough: You know.
421 00:25:22.320 ⇒ 00:25:23.410 Brian McGough: and I don’t know.
422 00:25:23.410 ⇒ 00:25:30.259 Uttam Kumaran: I I honestly, I’m thinking there’s a lot of people who are good for like automation engineer things like that. But these are weird jobs.
423 00:25:30.260 ⇒ 00:25:30.960 Brian McGough: Yeah.
424 00:25:31.540 ⇒ 00:25:32.180 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
425 00:25:32.740 ⇒ 00:25:33.310 Brian McGough: Yeah.
426 00:25:33.620 ⇒ 00:25:38.749 Brian McGough: that’s pretty much it, man. I’m kind of just in like in like a intermediate stage.
427 00:25:39.350 ⇒ 00:25:41.679 Uttam Kumaran: Well, good! We’ll talk to you when you get here next week.
428 00:25:43.200 ⇒ 00:25:45.360 Uttam Kumaran: And that’s hooked up, and then I mean
429 00:25:45.760 ⇒ 00:25:49.240 Uttam Kumaran: I’ll I’ll keep talking slack and stuff, and then we’ll see where things go.
430 00:25:50.600 ⇒ 00:25:51.280 Brian McGough: Cool math.
431 00:25:51.500 ⇒ 00:25:52.690 Brian McGough: sounds, good.
432 00:25:53.030 ⇒ 00:25:55.349 Uttam Kumaran: I dude enjoy the rest of the week.
433 00:25:55.630 ⇒ 00:25:56.759 Brian McGough: Yeah, you, too, man. Later.
434 00:25:56.930 ⇒ 00:25:57.690 Brian McGough: Bye, bye.
