00:06:32.000 ⇒ 00:06:47.000 And it may be too late.
00:06:47.000 ⇒ 00:06:51.000 Miguel, if you’re talking, your mic is like kind of low.
00:06:51.000 ⇒ 00:06:54.000 Oh, no, sorry. I’m speaking.
00:06:54.000 ⇒ 00:07:03.000 Oh, okay. Yeah. I made Microsoft, sorry.
00:07:03.000 ⇒ 00:07:06.000 Okay.
00:07:06.000 ⇒ 00:07:10.000 Okay, maybe we can get started. I think we can maybe just start with clients.
00:07:10.000 ⇒ 00:07:16.000 staff, I guess, Nico, do you want to talk about stuff on the data side first?
00:07:16.000 ⇒ 00:07:22.000 Yeah, sure. So for pool parts, we’ve been looking into some
00:07:22.000 ⇒ 00:07:42.000 SKUs that Jack was sending. We’ve been looking into what were the problems there. Ryan find
00:07:42.000 ⇒ 00:07:43.000 Okay.
00:07:43.000 ⇒ 00:07:47.000 look here find that those skews were wrong and we just mentioned that to check and i think he already figured out what was the issue and he didn’t tell us yet. We are still working towards the
00:07:47.000 ⇒ 00:07:48.000 tax mapping issue palm hasn’t
00:07:48.000 ⇒ 00:07:51.000 didn’t answer it anymore. So I’m going to write her
00:07:51.000 ⇒ 00:07:54.000 an email again, trying to see if she can
00:07:54.000 ⇒ 00:07:56.000 spend a little time with us trying to figure out what’s happening there. I don’t know if you have other
00:07:56.000 ⇒ 00:07:58.000 I think Ben said…
00:07:58.000 ⇒ 00:07:59.000 Yeah.
00:07:59.000 ⇒ 00:08:02.000 Yeah, Ben said that was done.
00:08:02.000 ⇒ 00:08:07.000 Okay, maybe. I mean, we didn’t receive any other information on that one.
00:08:07.000 ⇒ 00:08:08.000 okay maybe um yeah
00:08:08.000 ⇒ 00:08:11.000 So I want to confirm that with Pam, maybe.
00:08:11.000 ⇒ 00:08:12.000 Okay.
00:08:12.000 ⇒ 00:08:14.000 I think just confirm it with Ben and Slack first.
00:08:14.000 ⇒ 00:08:20.000 Okay, cool. And then we already have the
00:08:20.000 ⇒ 00:08:24.000 the PO numbers from unis shipments in the
00:08:24.000 ⇒ 00:08:32.000 in our database. So the shipments dashboard
00:08:32.000 ⇒ 00:08:33.000 Nice.
00:08:33.000 ⇒ 00:08:36.000 is already collecting the information for all of the different facilities. So we can now do more kind of analysis
00:08:36.000 ⇒ 00:08:42.000 from the different warehouses
00:08:42.000 ⇒ 00:08:43.000 Bye.
00:08:43.000 ⇒ 00:08:52.000 And yeah, I think that’s all. We are moving okay with pull parts and then showed a little bit of interest in the automation opportunities. So if we have something to share with him, it would be really, really good.
00:08:52.000 ⇒ 00:08:57.000 Yeah, so maybe we need to try to figure out
00:08:57.000 ⇒ 00:08:59.000 a proposal or a proposal
00:08:59.000 ⇒ 00:09:02.000 I don’t know, share a little bit of what we are doing
00:09:02.000 ⇒ 00:09:04.000 for other clients to bend so that
00:09:04.000 ⇒ 00:09:06.000 maybe he’s a little bit
00:09:06.000 ⇒ 00:09:08.000 interested in doing something.
00:09:08.000 ⇒ 00:09:11.000 from my automation side okay
00:09:11.000 ⇒ 00:09:15.000 Yeah. And then so on Javi, you guys are all set there.
00:09:15.000 ⇒ 00:09:16.000 Yeah.
00:09:16.000 ⇒ 00:09:17.000 Okay.
00:09:17.000 ⇒ 00:09:21.000 On job, we are all set, we already had the meeting with Brian where we
00:09:21.000 ⇒ 00:09:27.000 did the transfer of knowledge for Ryan we are
00:09:27.000 ⇒ 00:09:33.000 setting up, well, we already set up Fivetron for Shopify and Amazon. I’m already
00:09:33.000 ⇒ 00:09:37.000 investigating a little bit more on gorgeous, I send the email to these guys
00:09:37.000 ⇒ 00:09:43.000 trying to ask, but I think the best and the easiest way is going to be the API first
00:09:43.000 ⇒ 00:09:47.000 And then see if we need anything else.
00:09:47.000 ⇒ 00:09:50.000 But yeah, there is a lot of
00:09:50.000 ⇒ 00:09:56.000 a lot of things going on on Metabase and Robert and Payas owns that
00:09:56.000 ⇒ 00:10:00.000 So yeah, we have the meeting
00:10:00.000 ⇒ 00:10:01.000 Okay.
00:10:01.000 ⇒ 00:10:04.000 in an hour to discuss internally with them and see what we need to do.
00:10:04.000 ⇒ 00:10:07.000 But with Ryan, we are working on
00:10:07.000 ⇒ 00:10:15.000 having the data as accurate as possible and yeah improving a little bit what we have on all order items dashboard
00:10:15.000 ⇒ 00:10:20.000 adding more information from the product tables we have from Shopify and Amazon.
00:10:20.000 ⇒ 00:10:24.000 And yeah, and then creating maybe a shipments table so that we can have
00:10:24.000 ⇒ 00:10:32.000 Actually, dashboards for them in real so if they want to see specific information of that they can have it
00:10:32.000 ⇒ 00:10:35.000 there. And yeah, that’s it.
00:10:35.000 ⇒ 00:10:36.000 For now.
00:10:36.000 ⇒ 00:10:39.000 Yeah, just to add, I’m currently
00:10:39.000 ⇒ 00:10:43.000 prioritizing the investigation from
00:10:43.000 ⇒ 00:10:44.000 Yeah.
00:10:44.000 ⇒ 00:10:49.000 like trying to figure out why the metabase data is not
00:10:49.000 ⇒ 00:10:51.000 the same as what real is showing.
00:10:51.000 ⇒ 00:10:54.000 And I already got some of a few
00:10:54.000 ⇒ 00:11:00.000 like I’ve already seen a few reasons why like their query actually has filters in them
00:11:00.000 ⇒ 00:11:01.000 Okay.
00:11:01.000 ⇒ 00:11:03.000 And then they’re also like using a different times
00:11:03.000 ⇒ 00:11:07.000 time period or what do you call that time zone
00:11:07.000 ⇒ 00:11:12.000 So, but yeah, I’m still like uh figuring out further. So yeah.
00:11:12.000 ⇒ 00:11:13.000 Cool.
00:11:13.000 ⇒ 00:11:16.000 Okay. Okay, great. Yeah, I know Ryan um
00:11:16.000 ⇒ 00:11:20.000 we’re now balancing two across
00:11:20.000 ⇒ 00:11:23.000 pull parts and brain forge but if you can just
00:11:23.000 ⇒ 00:11:26.000 It doesn’t have to be daily, maybe at the end of the week.
00:11:26.000 ⇒ 00:11:29.000 or whenever, just track your time and clockify
00:11:29.000 ⇒ 00:11:30.000 Yeah.
00:11:30.000 ⇒ 00:11:32.000 That would be great and then
00:11:32.000 ⇒ 00:11:36.000 Yeah, just keep a really close contact with Nico and me
00:11:36.000 ⇒ 00:11:40.000 on progress. I don’t want you to get like overwhelmed.
00:11:40.000 ⇒ 00:11:44.000 The biggest thing for everybody is when we work with clients.
00:11:44.000 ⇒ 00:11:46.000 Client input is going to come
00:11:46.000 ⇒ 00:11:50.000 all the time, right? And so
00:11:50.000 ⇒ 00:11:54.000 This is the biggest difference than when you’re working internally in a company
00:11:54.000 ⇒ 00:11:58.000 is that we have clients that we directly serve and they’re going to ask us questions
00:11:58.000 ⇒ 00:12:05.000 24 seven and also from my side, I’m also going to be putting questions out 24 seven.
00:12:05.000 ⇒ 00:12:14.000 I’m going to push this more onto Nico and Miguel as like leading both sides. It’s up to you guys to manage the prioritization.
00:12:14.000 ⇒ 00:12:17.000 And make sure that you guys and
00:12:17.000 ⇒ 00:12:21.000 the folks executing work are
00:12:21.000 ⇒ 00:12:22.000 Yeah.
00:12:22.000 ⇒ 00:12:26.000 balanced because inputs are going to come in, email, Slack, phone.
00:12:26.000 ⇒ 00:12:30.000 No matter what. And so there’s going to be a feeling of urgency
00:12:30.000 ⇒ 00:12:32.000 But that doesn’t mean it’s like
00:12:32.000 ⇒ 00:12:36.000 feeling of chaos. So that’s the one thing I want to balance especially
00:12:36.000 ⇒ 00:12:40.000 Ryan, like as soon as you send stuff to Javi, they’re going to reply right back.
00:12:40.000 ⇒ 00:12:43.000 Doesn’t mean you need to work on it like
00:12:43.000 ⇒ 00:12:51.000 right at that moment. But I just want you to kind of have a sense of balance there, especially as now you’re working across two clients. Same thing.
00:12:51.000 ⇒ 00:12:55.000 Miguel on the AI side, you know, we have hpi
00:12:55.000 ⇒ 00:12:57.000 We have VitaCoco co
00:12:57.000 ⇒ 00:12:59.000 We have the stuff for the founder series.
00:12:59.000 ⇒ 00:13:02.000 We’re going to probably have another five or six
00:13:02.000 ⇒ 00:13:05.000 meetings this week where
00:13:05.000 ⇒ 00:13:09.000 For me, I’m going to guarantee you I’m going to be slacking like nonstop
00:13:09.000 ⇒ 00:13:11.000 Thank you.
00:13:11.000 ⇒ 00:13:14.000 So I just want everybody to be aware that just because you get a Slack.
00:13:14.000 ⇒ 00:13:18.000 doesn’t mean the deliverable is right then, unless it’s like very explicit so
00:13:18.000 ⇒ 00:13:20.000 We’re going to always have this like
00:13:20.000 ⇒ 00:13:24.000 back and forth. But the other concept and
00:13:24.000 ⇒ 00:13:27.000 client services concept of SLA, which is service level agreement
00:13:27.000 ⇒ 00:13:30.000 It’s basically like when we get a request.
00:13:30.000 ⇒ 00:13:37.000 how quickly do we have to respond? And so that’s the reason why me, Miguel, and Nico are like the front line of defense.
00:13:37.000 ⇒ 00:13:43.000 There’s some things where we respond really immediately, we should, but there’s some things that take time. We’ll play some defense.
00:13:43.000 ⇒ 00:13:45.000 So I just want to make that
00:13:45.000 ⇒ 00:13:47.000 Claire, any thoughts
00:13:47.000 ⇒ 00:13:52.000 there. I have one more thing on the data side. No thoughts.
00:13:52.000 ⇒ 00:13:56.000 No, I think that’s great. Yeah, and we
00:13:56.000 ⇒ 00:14:01.000 with ryan, we have like this meeting on Mondays in the morning where we try to
00:14:01.000 ⇒ 00:14:04.000 scale and prioritize what are the tasks that we have
00:14:04.000 ⇒ 00:14:09.000 for the week and yeah i think we are aligned on that the priority now is to
00:14:09.000 ⇒ 00:14:12.000 figure out those differences we have in the different tools
00:14:12.000 ⇒ 00:14:19.000 And yeah, then start working on new features or new data sources for the client.
00:14:19.000 ⇒ 00:14:21.000 The idea is to have something to show
00:14:21.000 ⇒ 00:14:30.000 Javi as soon as possible. I think that’s what Robert was asking, but we need to show them that we have like accuracy in our data
00:14:30.000 ⇒ 00:14:38.000 So they’re working towards that and then yeah, moving forward for more things and new things.
00:14:38.000 ⇒ 00:14:42.000 Okay, great. The last thing is Stella.
00:14:42.000 ⇒ 00:14:43.000 Yeah.
00:14:43.000 ⇒ 00:14:46.000 I’m going to send a question today seeing if we can chat.
00:14:46.000 ⇒ 00:14:48.000 But it looks like they want
00:14:48.000 ⇒ 00:14:54.000 some help on Fivetran. They want some help on Snowflake. They want some sessions on overview.
00:14:54.000 ⇒ 00:14:58.000 like presentations, questions.
00:14:58.000 ⇒ 00:15:06.000 So we’ll have to decide who’s going to take what. I think Nico will talk about potentially maybe bringing on
00:15:06.000 ⇒ 00:15:09.000 some additional people
00:15:09.000 ⇒ 00:15:10.000 Okay.
00:15:10.000 ⇒ 00:15:15.000 to take on now that kind of Ryan, I think is basically like fully occupied. I don’t want to throw a third thing at him.
00:15:15.000 ⇒ 00:15:16.000 Okay.
00:15:16.000 ⇒ 00:15:18.000 But then also for the teaching sessions
00:15:18.000 ⇒ 00:15:23.000 I honestly think it could be a good opportunity for like me and you to take
00:15:23.000 ⇒ 00:15:25.000 some of them, I think like
00:15:25.000 ⇒ 00:15:28.000 I think the dbt GitHub pipelines
00:15:28.000 ⇒ 00:15:34.000 I can take that five train overview. I can probably take that, but maybe fun for you to take one of the snowflake overview ones.
00:15:34.000 ⇒ 00:15:37.000 But maybe we figure it out. The other thing is I want to record those sessions
00:15:37.000 ⇒ 00:15:39.000 Okay.
00:15:39.000 ⇒ 00:15:43.000 And probably hand it to Ryan on the content side also to like
00:15:43.000 ⇒ 00:15:46.000 publish something.
00:15:46.000 ⇒ 00:15:47.000 Okay.
00:15:47.000 ⇒ 00:15:54.000 But let’s see, I’m going to send a note today. I’m going to say, can we regroup on what the plan is here or can we do this in Notion?
00:15:54.000 ⇒ 00:15:55.000 Yeah, and also
00:15:55.000 ⇒ 00:15:57.000 Those are the three big things in the data set.
00:15:57.000 ⇒ 00:16:05.000 yeah also i thought nick was gonna be involved there, but Nick is out of office until sunday i think right
00:16:05.000 ⇒ 00:16:08.000 Yeah, I think, yeah, Nick…
00:16:08.000 ⇒ 00:16:12.000 is out of office. And also, I don’t know if we’re going to end up
00:16:12.000 ⇒ 00:16:13.000 Okay. Okay.
00:16:13.000 ⇒ 00:16:15.000 needing him for this because there’s not there’s not like
00:16:15.000 ⇒ 00:16:16.000 I don’t think there’s going to be much work
00:16:16.000 ⇒ 00:16:19.000 modeling to yeah
00:16:19.000 ⇒ 00:16:20.000 Okay.
00:16:20.000 ⇒ 00:16:23.000 Yeah. And yeah, we could talk a little bit about that if when me, you, and Miguel catch up.
00:16:23.000 ⇒ 00:16:25.000 Excellent. Okay.
00:16:25.000 ⇒ 00:16:28.000 Okay, great.
00:16:28.000 ⇒ 00:16:32.000 Cool. Let’s maybe pivot. We can talk about
00:16:32.000 ⇒ 00:16:35.000 AI stuff. Miguel, if you want to
00:16:35.000 ⇒ 00:16:36.000 Take it away.
00:16:36.000 ⇒ 00:16:42.000 Yeah, so for VitaCoco, we’re still waiting. I checked just a few hours ago.
00:16:42.000 ⇒ 00:16:45.000 30 minutes ago, actually. Still have no
00:16:45.000 ⇒ 00:16:50.000 anything from still have nothing from Eddie, so I’ll probably send him a follow-up
00:16:50.000 ⇒ 00:16:53.000 And then for HPI,
00:16:53.000 ⇒ 00:16:56.000 did some good progress over the weekend.
00:16:56.000 ⇒ 00:17:01.000 And then, yeah, I figured out some stuff is not possible. This is the best thing to do.
00:17:01.000 ⇒ 00:17:03.000 And…
00:17:03.000 ⇒ 00:17:05.000 Yeah, I think
00:17:05.000 ⇒ 00:17:11.000 I think for what do you call this, for Craig, we’re pretty much done there.
00:17:11.000 ⇒ 00:17:17.000 So I think that’s it for my end. And then for like Ben and like our existing clients in the data side
00:17:17.000 ⇒ 00:17:20.000 Would it be like a good idea to
00:17:20.000 ⇒ 00:17:24.000 maybe do the assessment thing.
00:17:24.000 ⇒ 00:17:32.000 Yeah, so let’s talk about that really briefly. So one is we’ve been working, Ben and pull parts have been basically our
00:17:32.000 ⇒ 00:17:35.000 like they’ve been one of our clients for a long time
00:17:35.000 ⇒ 00:17:38.000 they um
00:17:38.000 ⇒ 00:17:41.000 they communicate very very
00:17:41.000 ⇒ 00:17:46.000 succinctly, meaning I’m going to respond to that email and basically try to give them like
00:17:46.000 ⇒ 00:17:50.000 five or seven examples of like
00:17:50.000 ⇒ 00:17:57.000 Do you guys do anything that involves clicking around browsers, downloading files, updating spreadsheets?
00:17:57.000 ⇒ 00:18:01.000 I want to kind of do that. They’re not going to read that document if we send it to them.
00:18:01.000 ⇒ 00:18:02.000 Yeah.
00:18:02.000 ⇒ 00:18:09.000 So I’m just going to respond with something like, hey, we just did this for VitaCoco, right? So we’re going to use their brand name.
00:18:09.000 ⇒ 00:18:10.000 If…
00:18:10.000 ⇒ 00:18:13.000 I’m going to say we just did this for VitaCoco and their CFO, he loved it.
00:18:13.000 ⇒ 00:18:18.000 I’m going to give three examples. I’m gonna give one example on the
00:18:18.000 ⇒ 00:18:22.000 on the like kind of the stock inventory side
00:18:22.000 ⇒ 00:18:25.000 I’ll give some examples of some stuff that we’re doing internally like
00:18:25.000 ⇒ 00:18:29.000 we’re taking meetings and we’re sending the summaries
00:18:29.000 ⇒ 00:18:33.000 And then also I’ll give a couple of more examples and I’m just going to send something.
00:18:33.000 ⇒ 00:18:34.000 Yeah.
00:18:34.000 ⇒ 00:18:37.000 I think ideally what I’m going to ask is that we hop on a meeting
00:18:37.000 ⇒ 00:18:42.000 and you’re there, I’m there, Nico’s there, and then someone from their side. And basically we’re like.
00:18:42.000 ⇒ 00:18:43.000 Yeah.
00:18:43.000 ⇒ 00:18:45.000 tell us 10 problems.
00:18:45.000 ⇒ 00:18:48.000 And then let’s figure out how we can help you.
00:18:48.000 ⇒ 00:18:54.000 So my goal in that response is going to get them to get on a meeting with us this week.
00:18:54.000 ⇒ 00:18:55.000 Okay, yeah.
00:18:55.000 ⇒ 00:18:56.000 So let me see what they say. I think the audit
00:18:56.000 ⇒ 00:19:01.000 document is great, though. And thank you so much for putting that together.
00:19:01.000 ⇒ 00:19:03.000 It’s just some kind of i think
00:19:03.000 ⇒ 00:19:09.000 We’re going to turn that into multiple different sort of like modalities. Like we’re going to have that document. We’re going to have probably a small blurb
00:19:09.000 ⇒ 00:19:12.000 Things like that. So I think that’s great.
00:19:12.000 ⇒ 00:19:13.000 Okay.
00:19:13.000 ⇒ 00:19:18.000 The last thing on the AI side is, yeah, Craig, I’m going to be catching up with Craig later today.
00:19:18.000 ⇒ 00:19:20.000 I’m going to ask him.
00:19:20.000 ⇒ 00:19:23.000 Or maybe I’ll even see if
00:19:23.000 ⇒ 00:19:31.000 Yeah, let’s see. I’m going to see whether he can hop on. I want to go through the work that Casey did and make sure that he’s happy.
00:19:31.000 ⇒ 00:19:35.000 With that, and if there’s anything else he wants us to do
00:19:35.000 ⇒ 00:19:36.000 Yep.
00:19:36.000 ⇒ 00:19:42.000 Casey, he said he did not get the SMS for the text.
00:19:42.000 ⇒ 00:19:43.000 So…
00:19:43.000 ⇒ 00:19:46.000 Oh yeah, that’s the only one that I wasn’t connected yet.
00:19:46.000 ⇒ 00:19:52.000 Oh, it’s not connected, but he didn’t get the SMS validation though.
00:19:52.000 ⇒ 00:20:00.000 Oh, yeah. Yeah, that’s a problem. I mean, I’ve tried to send it a couple of times, but maybe there’s an issue with it. Yeah.
00:20:00.000 ⇒ 00:20:06.000 Yeah, I wonder if like maybe it’s because it’s SMS and because everybody here is on iMessage. Maybe there’s some issue but
00:20:06.000 ⇒ 00:20:09.000 maybe in our meeting, we can debug that worst case
00:20:09.000 ⇒ 00:20:13.000 we can buy a phone number, right? Like they had an option for twilio
00:20:13.000 ⇒ 00:20:14.000 Yeah, we can just do that.
00:20:14.000 ⇒ 00:20:19.000 Okay, worst case, we buy a phone number um
00:20:19.000 ⇒ 00:20:22.000 Cool.
00:20:22.000 ⇒ 00:20:27.000 Okay, great. And I know the last thing, Miguel, you’re starting
00:20:27.000 ⇒ 00:20:30.000 I saw you started a channel for the AI stuff and you’re also going to be running
00:20:30.000 ⇒ 00:20:34.000 like daily stand-ups or some sort of stand-ups, right?
00:20:34.000 ⇒ 00:20:38.000 yeah yeah basically just the 10, 15 minute, you
00:20:38.000 ⇒ 00:20:41.000 stand up with Casey and you
00:20:41.000 ⇒ 00:20:42.000 Cool.
00:20:42.000 ⇒ 00:20:44.000 just to, you know, if we have like blockers or some stuff because
00:20:44.000 ⇒ 00:20:51.000 I think sometimes it’s a bit better to discuss what I have in mind and maybe it’s also better for Casey to discuss what he has in mind.
00:20:51.000 ⇒ 00:20:52.000 So we can all input something.
00:20:52.000 ⇒ 00:20:55.000 Yeah. Perfect.
00:20:55.000 ⇒ 00:20:56.000 Yeah, that meeting is more for you guys i mean i’m
00:20:56.000 ⇒ 00:21:01.000 I would have slacked him by now if there’s anything else. So perfect.
00:21:01.000 ⇒ 00:21:04.000 The last thing I’ll ask is, you know, I know Ryan
00:21:04.000 ⇒ 00:21:12.000 Luke, a bunch of Anne, everybody’s starting to use AI tools in their, I mean, actually everybody basically is using AI tools.
00:21:12.000 ⇒ 00:21:15.000 I wanted to see whether people would be interested
00:21:15.000 ⇒ 00:21:18.000 in Miguel hosting like
00:21:18.000 ⇒ 00:21:22.000 and office hours or some sort of like
00:21:22.000 ⇒ 00:21:23.000 AI meeting where
00:21:23.000 ⇒ 00:21:25.000 we can just like
00:21:25.000 ⇒ 00:21:27.000 people can ask him questions because him
00:21:27.000 ⇒ 00:21:30.000 Miguel and Casey are the real like experts
00:21:30.000 ⇒ 00:21:36.000 But I know a lot of people are trying to do stuff to automate their day to day.
00:21:36.000 ⇒ 00:21:37.000 So I don’t know.
00:21:37.000 ⇒ 00:21:46.000 Anyone I mentioned, would anyone be interested in that? And like, what would you guys expect the format of that to be?
00:21:46.000 ⇒ 00:21:48.000 Yeah, I’d definitely be game for that.
00:21:48.000 ⇒ 00:21:55.000 But yeah, I don’t know what the format is at the moment, but that would be a great
00:21:55.000 ⇒ 00:21:59.000 probably even 30 minute session or maybe an hour, I don’t know.
00:21:59.000 ⇒ 00:22:00.000 Yeah.
00:22:00.000 ⇒ 00:22:01.000 If…
00:22:01.000 ⇒ 00:22:05.000 Depends on if there’s like some cool stuff to under to you know discuss
00:22:05.000 ⇒ 00:22:08.000 Yeah, that’d be great.
00:22:08.000 ⇒ 00:22:09.000 If I could ask a one question there like
00:22:09.000 ⇒ 00:22:10.000 Okay.
00:22:10.000 ⇒ 00:22:14.000 Let’s say we were in that meeting right now
00:22:14.000 ⇒ 00:22:17.000 Do you have like one or two things that you’re trying to do that you’re stuck on
00:22:17.000 ⇒ 00:22:20.000 Is it more of like
00:22:20.000 ⇒ 00:22:22.000 I have this idea. Can you help me like
00:22:22.000 ⇒ 00:22:29.000 flesh it out or get organized around it. Where do you think you need immediate help?
00:22:29.000 ⇒ 00:22:33.000 On my side, I guess…
00:22:33.000 ⇒ 00:22:37.000 Yeah, I guess anything related to
00:22:37.000 ⇒ 00:22:41.000 like the GitHub stuff, like GitHub actions and
00:22:41.000 ⇒ 00:22:51.000 And yeah, mostly guitar actions, right? Like our intraday DPT runs, for example, like if we can have ai
00:22:51.000 ⇒ 00:22:57.000 do like the data validation or whatever, if there’s an error, for example, it already gives us like
00:22:57.000 ⇒ 00:23:00.000 an overview of what the error is.
00:23:00.000 ⇒ 00:23:03.000 And like how we can potentially solve those
00:23:03.000 ⇒ 00:23:05.000 Especially like since
00:23:05.000 ⇒ 00:23:09.000 um like i saw like Miguel had all our
00:23:09.000 ⇒ 00:23:12.000 the data details into uh
00:23:12.000 ⇒ 00:23:16.000 into a repository or something, right? Like where like AI can just pull
00:23:16.000 ⇒ 00:23:19.000 the details from there so it can
00:23:19.000 ⇒ 00:23:23.000 it has context basically.
00:23:23.000 ⇒ 00:23:26.000 And yeah, if it can help us with that.
00:23:26.000 ⇒ 00:23:27.000 Yeah, that’d be great.
00:23:27.000 ⇒ 00:23:29.000 So it could be more of like a like a
00:23:29.000 ⇒ 00:23:32.000 pair programming session or something where it’s like
00:23:32.000 ⇒ 00:23:33.000 Because this is because
00:23:33.000 ⇒ 00:23:34.000 Yeah, I suppose so, yeah.
00:23:34.000 ⇒ 00:23:38.000 Yeah, this is the thing I want to avoid is i don’t want
00:23:38.000 ⇒ 00:23:39.000 Yeah.
00:23:39.000 ⇒ 00:23:42.000 their time. I don’t want the AI guys, their time to be like
00:23:42.000 ⇒ 00:23:43.000 Right.
00:23:43.000 ⇒ 00:23:47.000 taken up during the week. But I know that like if they spend even 10, 15 minutes with you
00:23:47.000 ⇒ 00:23:49.000 it’ll work. So I want to almost like batch that so maybe it’s
00:23:49.000 ⇒ 00:23:54.000 Miguel, I don’t know, maybe it’s something where it’s like, hey, we have an hour of office hours
00:23:54.000 ⇒ 00:23:59.000 And you can come in and explain your problem and you guys just like kind of like pair
00:23:59.000 ⇒ 00:24:00.000 brainstorm together, you know?
00:24:00.000 ⇒ 00:24:01.000 Yeah.
00:24:01.000 ⇒ 00:24:02.000 Because I’m sure if you spend five or 10 minutes and look at like what
00:24:02.000 ⇒ 00:24:05.000 It’s…
00:24:05.000 ⇒ 00:24:09.000 look at what Ryan needs. You’ll be like, oh, do this, try this, try this, try this
00:24:09.000 ⇒ 00:24:10.000 Yeah.
00:24:10.000 ⇒ 00:24:17.000 Because everybody is starting to use AI in their own thing. And I don’t want…
00:24:17.000 ⇒ 00:24:21.000 I don’t want everybody has the drive. I don’t want the knowledge to be the blocker.
00:24:21.000 ⇒ 00:24:23.000 Yeah.
00:24:23.000 ⇒ 00:24:27.000 You know, so, but up to you. I know it’s your time. So I want to make sure that you’re okay with that and
00:24:27.000 ⇒ 00:24:28.000 you can own that.
00:24:28.000 ⇒ 00:24:31.000 Yeah, definitely. Though I think, you know.
00:24:31.000 ⇒ 00:24:35.000 if it’s like a very busy week.
00:24:35.000 ⇒ 00:24:44.000 I will let the team know in advance if it’s possible. But I think most of the time it should be possible. Maybe Luke, Ryan, and everyone else of course
00:24:44.000 ⇒ 00:24:50.000 like maybe sometimes we can even like join in a huddle because me and Casey will probably have the daily huddle
00:24:50.000 ⇒ 00:24:51.000 Yeah.
00:24:51.000 ⇒ 00:24:53.000 Yeah, maybe, you know, you guys can join there or some stuff.
00:24:53.000 ⇒ 00:24:56.000 Yeah, maybe even we can have a daily or like
00:24:56.000 ⇒ 00:24:59.000 sync time like we can just
00:24:59.000 ⇒ 00:25:03.000 chat about random stuff, even if not
00:25:03.000 ⇒ 00:25:04.000 Yeah, definitely.
00:25:04.000 ⇒ 00:25:05.000 needed really but yeah we can, we can, you know, like we can
00:25:05.000 ⇒ 00:25:18.000 Yeah. And for context, like BrainForge will actually like, I want to consider brain forge
00:25:18.000 ⇒ 00:25:19.000 Right.
00:25:19.000 ⇒ 00:25:20.000 for like as a client for the AI team, you know, we have a lot of stuff internally that we’re also looking to automate, but I also want to balance that
00:25:20.000 ⇒ 00:25:24.000 of course like we have external clients that we need to support
00:25:24.000 ⇒ 00:25:30.000 So I don’t know. I think we can either decide to do this in the daily slap or
00:25:30.000 ⇒ 00:25:33.000 Miguel, maybe it’s like once every week
00:25:33.000 ⇒ 00:25:34.000 Yeah, yeah. I think once a week is a good idea.
00:25:34.000 ⇒ 00:25:39.000 like sometime towards the end of the week, you book like an hour and you just say, hey, these are open office hours.
00:25:39.000 ⇒ 00:25:40.000 Yep.
00:25:40.000 ⇒ 00:25:43.000 Where you can come in and ask AI questions.
00:25:43.000 ⇒ 00:25:48.000 Because I would go and just listen in, you know, totally. So…
00:25:48.000 ⇒ 00:25:54.000 Maybe that’s the easiest because I know everybody may not be available to attend like the daily stand-up so
00:25:54.000 ⇒ 00:25:57.000 Okay, yeah, sure.
00:25:57.000 ⇒ 00:25:58.000 Okay. Okay, great. So
00:25:58.000 ⇒ 00:26:02.000 probably towards Thursday’s voice, if that’s fine.
00:26:02.000 ⇒ 00:26:03.000 What was that?
00:26:03.000 ⇒ 00:26:04.000 Yeah, that’s perfect.
00:26:04.000 ⇒ 00:26:07.000 Yeah, because Wednesdays I reserve it for like
00:26:07.000 ⇒ 00:26:08.000 just working.
00:26:08.000 ⇒ 00:26:10.000 Me too. Yeah, I basically…
00:26:10.000 ⇒ 00:26:11.000 Okay.
00:26:11.000 ⇒ 00:26:13.000 I’ve like tried us not to have any meetings on Wednesday.
00:26:13.000 ⇒ 00:26:18.000 Yeah, I just mittered you with them, actually.
00:26:18.000 ⇒ 00:26:22.000 Yeah, I mean, there’s really no, there’s just no way for me to do anything
00:26:22.000 ⇒ 00:26:24.000 If I don’t do that and i don’t do that
00:26:24.000 ⇒ 00:26:29.000 For me, Mondays is really important. Fridays, of course, is really great and then
00:26:29.000 ⇒ 00:26:34.000 I basically tell people book Tuesdays and Thursdays. I can have meetings, but Wednesday i
00:26:34.000 ⇒ 00:26:38.000 It’s kind of hard.
00:26:38.000 ⇒ 00:26:39.000 Yeah.
00:26:39.000 ⇒ 00:26:41.000 I just want to wake up and be like, I want to get like two or three core things done, spend some time reading you know like
00:26:41.000 ⇒ 00:26:48.000 Otherwise, it’s really hard. So, okay, perfect. Okay. I think that’s it on the AI side. I guess let’s maybe
00:26:48.000 ⇒ 00:26:51.000 Ryan, if you want to talk about um
00:26:51.000 ⇒ 00:26:53.000 stuff on the content side?
00:26:53.000 ⇒ 00:27:04.000 Yeah, sure. So basically, we’re going to proceed on the four times a week content on our company side
00:27:04.000 ⇒ 00:27:12.000 All right, now I have readied the well i have already published the other one, which is the reaction post
00:27:12.000 ⇒ 00:27:28.000 And then for the Tuesday and Thursday, I guess, for the blog posts, I’d already done the first one, I’ll just like format the link that is needed for the
00:27:28.000 ⇒ 00:27:38.000 resources that I came with and the other one is more likely I’m going to rewrite it with including the SEO words that we are going to rank for.
00:27:38.000 ⇒ 00:27:45.000 And I guess I’m going to follow the, right now I’m trying to like, like.
00:27:45.000 ⇒ 00:27:52.000 what do you call this for the schedule, I just need to you know um
00:27:52.000 ⇒ 00:27:57.000 needed the other one, which in wednesday then i can go like
00:27:57.000 ⇒ 00:28:04.000 do the other week so I can focus on doing the glossary and other stuff like um
00:28:04.000 ⇒ 00:28:11.000 adding more blog posts or more on focusing on SEO blog posts
00:28:11.000 ⇒ 00:28:17.000 Okay, great. So maybe I’ll just even share because I think we’re getting better at organizing this
00:28:17.000 ⇒ 00:28:25.000 Which I think is great. One is I think it would be good to have almost, we have like two views here, right? We have like what our pipeline is
00:28:25.000 ⇒ 00:28:30.000 I know we have a lot of pipeline that we’re planning here.
00:28:30.000 ⇒ 00:28:32.000 But also, I want to see that we are
00:28:32.000 ⇒ 00:28:35.000 we have these sorts of content types
00:28:35.000 ⇒ 00:28:40.000 And that they’re getting organized here. The biggest thing I want to try to get to is that
00:28:40.000 ⇒ 00:28:44.000 the first immediate goal is that we get one week ahead.
00:28:44.000 ⇒ 00:28:47.000 I think now we’re kind of like
00:28:47.000 ⇒ 00:28:52.000 On Monday, we basically get like two or three days ahead
00:28:52.000 ⇒ 00:28:56.000 I think we can get to the point soon where it’s like we’re about a week ahead.
00:28:56.000 ⇒ 00:29:00.000 What that gives us time to do is it gives Anne time to do the illustrations
00:29:00.000 ⇒ 00:29:03.000 It then gives us time to set some stuff on autopilot, right?
00:29:03.000 ⇒ 00:29:11.000 And allows you, Ryan, to like batch and do a bunch of stuff and then spend more time optimizing, engaging, things like that.
00:29:11.000 ⇒ 00:29:16.000 So I think let’s just continue to use these
00:29:16.000 ⇒ 00:29:18.000 both these views. And then we could
00:29:18.000 ⇒ 00:29:25.000 feel free to go through and modify the properties and make this look clean. But for me, I look at this
00:29:25.000 ⇒ 00:29:29.000 almost every day and I look at like what’s coming out and I go leave comments and stuff.
00:29:29.000 ⇒ 00:29:35.000 So I love taking a look at this. And then, yeah, this posting schedule is great. I think, um.
00:29:35.000 ⇒ 00:29:38.000 The other thing I mentioned is we’re doing like reactions
00:29:38.000 ⇒ 00:29:43.000 Basically, we have that internal channel, which is like articles and media
00:29:43.000 ⇒ 00:29:48.000 And we’re starting to do reactions to like stuff that’s coming out or things like that.
00:29:48.000 ⇒ 00:29:53.000 And the other thing I’ll open up to is anyone else wants to publish content
00:29:53.000 ⇒ 00:29:59.000 or has articles and wants to promote this on their LinkedIn or even write stuff for the Brain Forge blog.
00:29:59.000 ⇒ 00:30:03.000 please feel free. I don’t want to put pressure because it’s not anyone’s
00:30:03.000 ⇒ 00:30:09.000 full-time job. But if anyone’s interested in publishing using their name or writing a piece for the blog.
00:30:09.000 ⇒ 00:30:12.000 please feel free.
00:30:12.000 ⇒ 00:30:18.000 But yeah, that’s kind of it. So I think, Ryan, I mentioned that there’s a backlog of articles that
00:30:18.000 ⇒ 00:30:20.000 we can pull from
00:30:20.000 ⇒ 00:30:24.000 that article’s channel.
00:30:24.000 ⇒ 00:30:29.000 Yeah, yeah. I’m currently browsing around it so I can you know make some
00:30:29.000 ⇒ 00:30:35.000 schedule for this reaction post or we can make like
00:30:35.000 ⇒ 00:30:38.000 article based on this article
00:30:38.000 ⇒ 00:30:47.000 Or, you know, get some information from this, then, you know, include their links so we can have their, you know, the.
00:30:47.000 ⇒ 00:30:49.000 traction of their their
00:30:49.000 ⇒ 00:30:51.000 Well.
00:30:51.000 ⇒ 00:30:54.000 volumes can you know can go to our website also
00:30:54.000 ⇒ 00:30:59.000 Yeah, I think that’s really a good way.
00:30:59.000 ⇒ 00:31:04.000 Okay, awesome. And then the last thing I guess I wanted to see was um
00:31:04.000 ⇒ 00:31:10.000 I actually haven’t looked at it even today, but Anne mentioned that the
00:31:10.000 ⇒ 00:31:13.000 the site was updated. So maybe I can just pull it up and we can all just walk through it
00:31:13.000 ⇒ 00:31:19.000 I think it’d be nice to see. I know we made updates to the blog and to the About Us page.
00:31:19.000 ⇒ 00:31:21.000 So let’s just uh
00:31:21.000 ⇒ 00:31:23.000 Let’s just take a look.
00:31:23.000 ⇒ 00:31:26.000 So this is homepage.
00:31:26.000 ⇒ 00:31:28.000 We have this.
00:31:28.000 ⇒ 00:31:30.000 I know…
00:31:30.000 ⇒ 00:31:33.000 Ryan, we wanted to change
00:31:33.000 ⇒ 00:31:37.000 These, right? So maybe I’m going to ask Colleen about changing some of these
00:31:37.000 ⇒ 00:31:40.000 And I know this is still kind of glitchy
00:31:40.000 ⇒ 00:31:43.000 But that’s fine.
00:31:43.000 ⇒ 00:31:49.000 This looks great. I think we were going to consider changing this to single select
00:31:49.000 ⇒ 00:31:52.000 But I mean, I think these look amazing.
00:31:52.000 ⇒ 00:31:57.000 Okay, cool. And then we have our about us
00:31:57.000 ⇒ 00:32:04.000 Cool. I don’t like seeing my face here, but that’s fine.
00:32:04.000 ⇒ 00:32:06.000 We have all the whole team here i think
00:32:06.000 ⇒ 00:32:09.000 I know we have a bunch of other folks
00:32:09.000 ⇒ 00:32:20.000 on the call and on the team. So as people feel comfortable, we can add everybody here. I guess I want to ask Anne if she wants to go on here as well.
00:32:20.000 ⇒ 00:32:23.000 And then I know, Casey, you’re just part time here
00:32:23.000 ⇒ 00:32:28.000 But whenever you want to, we can add everybody, but I’m really happy that everybody’s here.
00:32:28.000 ⇒ 00:32:29.000 Hopefully these are all
00:32:29.000 ⇒ 00:32:34.000 Okay, these aren’t all linked now, but we can get that done pretty easily.
00:32:34.000 ⇒ 00:32:39.000 Yeah, I think this looks great.
00:32:39.000 ⇒ 00:32:44.000 I think we want to probably end up having a couple of different testimonials and i know
00:32:44.000 ⇒ 00:32:49.000 Ryan, on the content side, are we good with the one for
00:32:49.000 ⇒ 00:32:53.000 vita coco like were you able to get a testimonial out of that? I haven’t talked to
00:32:53.000 ⇒ 00:32:58.000 them yet with some other questions.
00:32:58.000 ⇒ 00:33:00.000 the testimonial?
00:33:00.000 ⇒ 00:33:03.000 Yeah.
00:33:03.000 ⇒ 00:33:07.000 I already sent you the three variation.
00:33:07.000 ⇒ 00:33:08.000 Okay.
00:33:08.000 ⇒ 00:33:11.000 Then we can, you know, if
00:33:11.000 ⇒ 00:33:21.000 If I can get the perspective of the client, I can get like, you know, I can make like the other stuff like the case studies
00:33:21.000 ⇒ 00:33:24.000 And, you know, we can proceed on making content from that.
00:33:24.000 ⇒ 00:33:35.000 Okay. And then this is the new blog. I think this looks really nice.
00:33:35.000 ⇒ 00:33:42.000 Cool.
00:33:42.000 ⇒ 00:33:47.000 Okay, some glitch, some small glitch on the white here, but that’s okay
00:33:47.000 ⇒ 00:33:51.000 And then it doesn’t look like these are clickable right now.
00:33:51.000 ⇒ 00:33:56.000 So let me ask Aleem about that.
00:33:56.000 ⇒ 00:33:58.000 Okay.
00:33:58.000 ⇒ 00:34:03.000 Cool. Anything else we wanted to chat about? I know we didn’t
00:34:03.000 ⇒ 00:34:06.000 I haven’t chatted with Erickson
00:34:06.000 ⇒ 00:34:10.000 But then the only other person is Roy is going to be starting this week on dialing.
00:34:10.000 ⇒ 00:34:15.000 Dialing, meaning we have kind of a couple strategies for sales. We have emails
00:34:15.000 ⇒ 00:34:17.000 We have the LinkedIn messages.
00:34:17.000 ⇒ 00:34:21.000 And we’re going to start actually doing dialing people directly.
00:34:21.000 ⇒ 00:34:25.000 So in case he needs any help, please reach out and
00:34:25.000 ⇒ 00:34:28.000 I mean, he’s been on some calls before. I’m already.
00:34:28.000 ⇒ 00:34:32.000 Anything else we want to chat about?
00:34:32.000 ⇒ 00:34:36.000 Well, we have like a leadership meeting later today
