11 00:01:39.900 ⇒ 00:01:43.636 Uttam Kumaran: She? She’s from North Austin here.
12 00:01:44.200 ⇒ 00:02:00.000 Uttam Kumaran: she works in aba therapy. So she’s a trained like behavioral therapist for kids. So she worked with like, neurodivergent kids. So kids with autism like speech issues behavior issues.
13 00:02:00.270 ⇒ 00:02:28.869 Uttam Kumaran: she worked as a special Ed teacher for a while, worked as a children’s therapist for a while, and then I actually like I mean, after we she had no idea about tech at all, like no clue. It’s funny I worked with like I worked for a QR. Company before, and I always make fun of her because I’m like my whole job was like QR. And I’m like you have no idea anything about what that means. But I I follow a bunch of Vc newsletters, and I saw that this company called Florida health.
14 00:02:28.980 ⇒ 00:02:33.389 Uttam Kumaran: They’re like an Aba therapy startup. And they raised like a series B,
15 00:02:33.500 ⇒ 00:02:36.060 Uttam Kumaran: so I sent it to her one day. I’m like
16 00:02:36.430 ⇒ 00:02:49.809 Uttam Kumaran: these guys just raise some money. She’s like, what does that mean? I’m like, don’t worry about that like, maybe. Just see if they have any cool jobs. And then she’s working there now. So she like applied and like ripped it. So yeah, she’s really cool.
17 00:02:50.249 ⇒ 00:02:52.740 Craig Foldes: That’s awesome. How how long have you guys been together?
18 00:02:53.090 ⇒ 00:02:57.050 Uttam Kumaran: Like about a year, a little over a year.
19 00:02:57.690 ⇒ 00:03:00.719 Craig Foldes: Can I ask? How old are you? Are you? I figure you’re younger, but I don’t know how.
20 00:03:00.720 ⇒ 00:03:01.630 Uttam Kumaran: 27.
21 00:03:01.630 ⇒ 00:03:09.875 Craig Foldes: Yeah, a kiddo. I I’m dude it fucking flies, man. So I met my wife, my now wife at 28, and I’m 36 now, like it’s
22 00:03:10.430 ⇒ 00:03:18.307 Uttam Kumaran: Dude, you know. I would say like, I’ve been talking about you to a few people, because I I love working with people like you who
23 00:03:19.070 ⇒ 00:03:43.150 Uttam Kumaran: You just like I don’t know, and most of my business life I’ve now had to trust my gut a lot more, because I have no time to qualify anything like most of my decision. Now I make with like, maybe like a 10 or 20% understanding of like what the fuck is going on. But I don’t know. I just love working with people where I’m like, okay, cool. We have this nugget, and let’s just like sprint. I’m the same way I’m like.
24 00:03:43.270 ⇒ 00:03:48.380 Uttam Kumaran: I’ll move literally as fast as the other party in any situation.
25 00:03:48.620 ⇒ 00:03:59.600 Craig Foldes: I? That’s awesome. I’m I’m sort of the I’m very much the same way, and it’s interesting the way that you talk about like gut like, I agree, both pro and con, right like IA couple of big decisions in my life like
26 00:03:59.610 ⇒ 00:04:05.139 Craig Foldes: I just like on a split second. I was like, yep, and it’s always sort of worked out. And and then on the same time, like
27 00:04:05.500 ⇒ 00:04:09.449 Craig Foldes: it’s the same shit like Nope, like we got pitched at crocs like an AI partner
28 00:04:09.520 ⇒ 00:04:23.820 Craig Foldes: fashion.ai, and they work with some big brands and all that stuff, and immediately I was like Nope, this is bullshit. I don’t. I don’t buy it like I just don’t trust you. We’re not moving forward like, and it’s it’s both ways, and it’s it’s served well, but cool is Casey joining or no.
29 00:04:23.820 ⇒ 00:04:25.830 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, let me. I just wanted to get through the.
30 00:04:25.830 ⇒ 00:04:26.670 Craig Foldes: Yeah, yeah.
31 00:04:27.240 ⇒ 00:04:28.839 Uttam Kumaran: Small things.
32 00:04:28.980 ⇒ 00:04:29.590 Uttam Kumaran: dude.
33 00:04:29.590 ⇒ 00:04:33.349 Craig Foldes: You so I don’t think you didn’t make it to ridge right.
34 00:04:33.350 ⇒ 00:04:34.549 Uttam Kumaran: I did not.
35 00:04:34.550 ⇒ 00:04:59.349 Craig Foldes: He, this hasn’t happened before, but he just started sharing his screen, and he was like, All right. Here’s how I structure my ad accounts like. And he started like going in and sharing all this stuff. He’s like, Yeah, you know, I spent 400 K yesterday, and then he started going through all the returns. And then he opened up his influencer video spreadsheet. And he’s like, Yeah, this is how we sort of structure everything. And the feedback. I asked one guy who I really like Kareem. He runs this brand veiled, which is like like.
36 00:04:59.350 ⇒ 00:05:00.650 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, let’s go to yesterday.
37 00:05:00.650 ⇒ 00:05:17.579 Craig Foldes: Yeah, yeah. And and I said, on scale one to 10, what was that? And he’s like it was a 20. And like everybody was just sort of like, I’ve never people asked him to come again. I’ve never gotten such positive feedback. So we’re going to do it again in December. I just emailed him. He’s like, Yeah, I’ll do it again. And so yeah, it was really great. You’ll have to come to the next one.
38 00:05:17.580 ⇒ 00:05:20.709 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, no, I I I’ve blocked off my
39 00:05:20.880 ⇒ 00:05:47.984 Uttam Kumaran: Fridays at one the the reason I was I was like triple booked, and then some friends, some like other founder friends. There’s there’s a steakhouse called Perry’s here in Austin, and they do pork chop Fridays $23 like, but it’s like a very nice pork chop. And so they’ve been trying to do this for like a few weeks now. And I was like, Oh, shit. I’m gonna have another meeting. I ran. I’m like this, is just it. But.
40 00:05:48.300 ⇒ 00:05:53.920 Craig Foldes: I again like I I think I shared this with you. I don’t know what the future of that
41 00:05:53.920 ⇒ 00:06:18.400 Craig Foldes: is. I think what I’m going to do is like this playbook like I can just access tier one people, just whatever it’s just like a skill set I have. And I’ve been able to get on radar with these folks and and I think I’ll probably stand up like an enterprise one. I think I’ve got like really strong relationships and kind of the d 2 c founder community. Let’s call it like 10 to 50 million a year. And then through this I’ve obviously gotten to meet the founder Ceos, of like a couple like 250 to 500 million. But I want to meet
42 00:06:18.400 ⇒ 00:06:37.050 Craig Foldes: more folks like me at Crocs, and so I think, like in my head, I’m like, all right. If you get the CEO of Starbucks to talk to a group of like 30 Vps. Or senior directors about his career trajectory, other stuff like, I think there’s something to that. So I was thinking, I’ll either kind of next year spin up that track. And or
43 00:06:37.270 ⇒ 00:06:41.559 Craig Foldes: you know, there’s this other piece where it’s like we’re talking to the founders of these companies.
44 00:06:41.640 ⇒ 00:06:47.159 Craig Foldes: But every founder has, like employees, 2 through 5 right, who are like the executors who are doing a bunch of shit.
45 00:06:47.160 ⇒ 00:06:48.399 Uttam Kumaran: We have lieutenants.
46 00:06:48.400 ⇒ 00:07:05.299 Craig Foldes: Yeah, exactly. So. I I wonder if there’s not like a track like, literally, I mean, I could just at this point just apply the 150 here, and just like, all right, Bombas, can you have your number 2? Talk to the number 2. Is that all these? So we’ll see. But it’s just a fun way to like, I said. Stay close to this community and try to add value and be helpful.
47 00:07:05.300 ⇒ 00:07:12.410 Uttam Kumaran: No, I think it’s yeah. I think it’s awesome. I mean, I’ve been even thinking about the 1st meeting that we had even 2 weeks ago, and that was like awesome.
48 00:07:12.410 ⇒ 00:07:14.070 Craig Foldes: That was Harry’s right. Jeff. Yeah, that was cool.
49 00:07:14.070 ⇒ 00:07:15.050 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah.
50 00:07:15.280 ⇒ 00:07:23.579 Craig Foldes: Yeah, man. And like, these are people, it’s neat. Just because, like, I, fucking like, admire these folks for so long like for years I was trying to get on radar with them. And so it’s.
51 00:07:23.580 ⇒ 00:07:43.150 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, cool, but also like for me. And this is how I even do stuff like you and my team and everyone I do work with. I’m just so candid and open because I have nothing to hide, and also like, even if you were to learn all the details about the business, still fucking really hard to go. Do so. I don’t care. I’m actually happy if you want to go do this, because.
52 00:07:43.441 ⇒ 00:07:55.250 Uttam Kumaran: maybe we could work together like it’s this has been the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my entire life, and every day is harder than the last. And yeah, I I’ve never. I’ve never had to be. I mean, like.
53 00:07:55.370 ⇒ 00:08:00.309 Uttam Kumaran: I studied engineering. I worked at a bunch of crazy companies, but it was never this
54 00:08:00.742 ⇒ 00:08:10.279 Uttam Kumaran: consistently difficult for. And now I’ve been at this for like more than a year, like a year and a half. I’ve never worked this hard consistently for a year in my whole life, like
55 00:08:10.460 ⇒ 00:08:18.150 Uttam Kumaran: one like every day, is like the Super bowl. Now. It’s like less days, because I have other people and stuff like that. But
56 00:08:18.260 ⇒ 00:08:23.220 Uttam Kumaran: it’s like, yeah, this year. I don’t know. I probably pulled the most like 1215 h days
57 00:08:23.350 ⇒ 00:08:35.300 Uttam Kumaran: I’ve ever done, and it’s all bootstrap, right? So it’s all my money. If I if I was to go raise like a 2 million dollars, and maybe I could have like slept a little bit more. But I didn’t want to do that and really want a boss.
58 00:08:36.171 ⇒ 00:08:38.740 Uttam Kumaran: And so yeah, but it’s been hard. So.
59 00:08:38.740 ⇒ 00:08:53.889 Craig Foldes: I obviously don’t know enough about the core business. But it it sounds like you’ve stood up a really successful enterprise. Data, analytics sort of like consulting biz, doing one off like important projects, for are you finding that the Ltv. For lack of a better word, is strong, I mean, are these.
60 00:08:53.890 ⇒ 00:09:05.020 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I mean, we don’t. We don’t churn unless the company fails. We basically don’t churn. So I’ve had a client that I’ve worked with since last July. That was our 1st like anchor client. We have other people that we work for, for like
61 00:09:05.350 ⇒ 00:09:16.189 Uttam Kumaran: we start as 3 months client. But again, we quickly become the most knowledgeable people in the company. We get used to all the data. And they’re not used to technical people being able to like interact with business.
62 00:09:16.190 ⇒ 00:09:16.550 Craig Foldes: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
63 00:09:16.779 ⇒ 00:09:19.529 Uttam Kumaran: So then, if you work with someone like me, and I’m like.
64 00:09:19.710 ⇒ 00:09:25.690 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, yeah, connect me with your like head of compliance, because there’s data they need like they’re like, Oh, shit! We don’t have someone like that.
65 00:09:25.690 ⇒ 00:09:26.280 Craig Foldes: Yeah.
66 00:09:26.544 ⇒ 00:09:36.340 Uttam Kumaran: So we quickly prove the value out. And the data side is still, there’s so it’s really, really technical work. And a lot of people in data have never done this once or twice, let alone, like
67 00:09:36.360 ⇒ 00:10:01.310 Uttam Kumaran: 10 or 15 times, and a lot of things. I worked with Ceos and executives like my whole career. So I’m used to like the stress or like. However, they talk to communicate. It doesn’t matter for me a lot of consultants and stuff if you hire like no name offshore people and like it’s just like they just they just don’t work like that. So that’s another people on my team. Everybody’s very personal and like just works through whatever speed. So.
68 00:10:01.750 ⇒ 00:10:07.139 Craig Foldes: Tell me as we wait for Casey. Tell me about the the. It was flow code. The QR. Code Company.
69 00:10:07.140 ⇒ 00:10:07.850 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
70 00:10:07.850 ⇒ 00:10:14.470 Craig Foldes: So what? I don’t know a ton about them. Obviously, QR. Codes are incredibly powerful. But like I tell me about the business.
71 00:10:14.930 ⇒ 00:10:19.856 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. So flow code was a company started by Tim Armstrong. Tim Armstrong used to be the C. This would be the
72 00:10:20.080 ⇒ 00:10:20.720 Craig Foldes: Very well.
73 00:10:20.720 ⇒ 00:10:29.579 Uttam Kumaran: To Aol, and then they got by got bought by Verizon, and he so he made like probably like, I don’t know 500 million on that deal. And then he went and started.
74 00:10:29.906 ⇒ 00:10:39.629 Uttam Kumaran: This company called Dtx, which basically was like it threw money at like bringing a bunch of smart people to be like. Let’s figure out something in consumer. He has a shitload of connections.
75 00:10:39.630 ⇒ 00:10:40.500 Craig Foldes: Yeah, obviously.
76 00:10:40.500 ⇒ 00:10:42.996 Uttam Kumaran: Like a crazy level
77 00:10:43.880 ⇒ 00:10:49.320 Uttam Kumaran: like, for example, like I went to like a private dinner with like them with Eric Adams before we got.
78 00:10:49.320 ⇒ 00:10:50.269 Craig Foldes: Mayor of New York.
79 00:10:50.270 ⇒ 00:11:15.660 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I’m like, what the fuck am I doing here? But so really well connected, but also just like he’s more of a like a super leader. He doesn’t have like the the hands on, but he’s like, who in the world do you want to talk to anybody in the world tomorrow I can make this happen. So he got a bunch of people right before Covid started. They kind of like realize that there’s some edge in like QR. I joined in February of 2020.
80 00:11:15.660 ⇒ 00:11:16.100 Craig Foldes: Wow! Right?
81 00:11:16.100 ⇒ 00:11:38.439 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, Covid hit. And then they we they had like a QR generator site up, it blew up. And then they basically were like, we’re going all in on QR, so flow. Code has like 2 parts of the business that’s really good. And I was involved in one of in one of them, which is that codes are very well designed, like you have a ton of consumer brands that putting clothes on their like on their
82 00:11:38.440 ⇒ 00:12:06.060 Uttam Kumaran: their consumer, packaged goods because the design we had a huge design team that makes it like you want to put that in your product. Customers scan. The second thing was the data. So on a lot of things where you couldn’t previously get data like linear TV, like consumer packaged goods, you could now get data and have and connect people to like your socials, get more information from them, put them in a funnel. And I worked on the data side. So I built out everything on like. How many people are scanning? Where are they scanning from? Who are they
83 00:12:06.100 ⇒ 00:12:17.782 Uttam Kumaran: tracking all that? So I. So I was the 1st data engineering hire. There’s all of our internal reporting, and then let us through base. Let us on the data side through like series A, B, and then
84 00:12:18.220 ⇒ 00:12:22.780 Uttam Kumaran: Then I went to go build our our enterprise facing analytics product, basically cool.
85 00:12:23.140 ⇒ 00:12:27.239 Craig Foldes: So it’s it’s bridging online offline more or less through a QR. Code. And then
86 00:12:27.360 ⇒ 00:12:28.930 Craig Foldes: there’s a woman.
87 00:12:29.240 ⇒ 00:12:32.549 Craig Foldes: Have you heard of the company bridge, BRIJ.
88 00:12:33.480 ⇒ 00:12:34.440 Uttam Kumaran: I’ll be all right.
89 00:12:34.440 ⇒ 00:12:38.069 Craig Foldes: erij.it yeah.
90 00:12:39.340 ⇒ 00:12:41.010 Craig Foldes: it. It must be
91 00:12:41.480 ⇒ 00:12:46.946 Craig Foldes: very similar. I we don’t have to talk about them, but she’s kind of like a loose friend.
92 00:12:48.120 ⇒ 00:12:48.790 Craig Foldes: can be.
93 00:12:48.790 ⇒ 00:13:07.558 Uttam Kumaran: The thing is like because he had so many. Tim had a lot of connections. We immediately got connected to the Nba. So Nba uses flow codes everywhere. In, in the arenas they have flow codes everywhere. He is connected to Anthony Noto at Sofi, CEO Sofi. So all of Sofi Stadium has QR everywhere.
94 00:13:08.100 ⇒ 00:13:37.019 Uttam Kumaran: like we. We just immediately got the ability to go into these places and also for advertisers who are running on linear TV, which I did a lot of work on. You have no ability to get data back. So Cnn and fox, they’ll send you literally like a Csv of like we think this many people watched your show on primetime, and you paid 30. You paid 30 K. For a 30 second slot, and we estimated this. Many households watched. But you have like no ability to, apart from doing like a halo type measurement, you have no idea if that really hit. So now, a lot of
95 00:13:37.020 ⇒ 00:13:40.940 Uttam Kumaran: ads have Qrs on them, because we basically measured that like.
96 00:13:41.070 ⇒ 00:14:09.038 Uttam Kumaran: hey, if people are like, I would say, half or more of Americans have a second device in their hand when they’re watching TV. Now, many people scan and you can go and like, get their, you can go get their customer information. You can direct them to their online thing. And then. But then the other thing is, we basically turn into a site in science. So we taught people like, if you’re the average person sits 9 to 12 feet from the TV, it needs to be this big, you’ve got this call to action. We basically like taught people how to advertise. QR,
97 00:14:09.310 ⇒ 00:14:20.089 Uttam Kumaran: really cool company, I would say, Tim, working for Tim is like is like insane on one day. It’ll be really good on another day. It’s like not so good. He purposely like causes conflict
98 00:14:20.170 ⇒ 00:14:21.709 Uttam Kumaran: in order to like.
99 00:14:21.900 ⇒ 00:14:23.650 Uttam Kumaran: just get people like
100 00:14:23.830 ⇒ 00:14:45.449 Uttam Kumaran: to fucking, and and very like consciously, because he told, he’s already told me he’s like I just I literally will. Just. He’ll come to a meeting that like a conversation, or like a topic we’ve rehashed and like made a decision on, they’ll come to be like, is that really the right way? We should be doing this? And it’s like dude. We you’re just like deleting like months and months of progress, and so
101 00:14:45.540 ⇒ 00:14:49.710 Uttam Kumaran: chaotic place to to work, but learned a lot so.
102 00:14:49.710 ⇒ 00:14:57.780 Craig Foldes: I mean, yeah, just exposure to those kind of folks. I think I shared this with you. I work for the he’s a mentor now, like the CEO of a company called Ibotta. I was like the 30th employee.
103 00:14:57.780 ⇒ 00:14:58.379 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah.
104 00:14:58.380 ⇒ 00:15:16.449 Craig Foldes: Yeah, they’ve since gone public. And that guy was just a fucking maniac. But in the best way, like he, you know, it takes a psychopath to sort of take what is kind of a shitty idea in this case, like coupons publicly traded company like it. They’re just wired a certain way. And you know, yeah, it’s just it’s it’s.
105 00:15:16.450 ⇒ 00:15:23.740 Uttam Kumaran: You pick like, you pick the things that you’re okay with doing. Like, I still take some of that like, there’s something about creating urgency and creating that. But then.
106 00:15:23.740 ⇒ 00:15:24.319 Craig Foldes: Of course.
107 00:15:24.540 ⇒ 00:15:27.220 Uttam Kumaran: Like. There’s something about like being ethical and like not
108 00:15:27.260 ⇒ 00:15:35.721 Uttam Kumaran: like some I got. It was just some people there like they’re giving up years of their life in terms of their health working at that company. So there’s just like there’s just different.
109 00:15:36.140 ⇒ 00:15:36.960 Craig Foldes: There’s
110 00:15:37.140 ⇒ 00:15:44.980 Craig Foldes: well, I think there’s also you mentioned, like just urgency, like some people are just wired a certain way, and that’s a real challenge for me at Crocs. Right? It’s like you operate with, like a sense of urgency and
111 00:15:45.340 ⇒ 00:16:01.509 Craig Foldes: sort of spirit, and not everybody wants to go that fast. But at the same point, that’s like a real benefit. Because I could put in like 75% of what I normally do or 50%. And I’m still delivering it like 110, you know, of expectation, or whatever. But all right, do we want to.
112 00:16:01.920 ⇒ 00:16:02.680 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, she.
113 00:16:02.780 ⇒ 00:16:06.199 Uttam Kumaran: Casey, do you? Wanna yeah, no, he’s here. Oh, I didn’t see.
114 00:16:06.200 ⇒ 00:16:06.820 Casie Aviles: Yeah.
115 00:16:07.430 ⇒ 00:16:09.390 Casie Aviles: Hey? Can you guys hear me?
116 00:16:09.390 ⇒ 00:16:09.980 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah.
117 00:16:09.980 ⇒ 00:16:11.979 Craig Foldes: Hear you, but I can’t see you. Hold on
118 00:16:13.540 ⇒ 00:16:15.300 Craig Foldes: interesting. What’s up, Casey?
119 00:16:15.750 ⇒ 00:16:16.730 Casie Aviles: Hey? What’s up?
120 00:16:17.574 ⇒ 00:16:21.959 Craig Foldes: It’s it’s cool to hear the voice behind the loom, or to see the face behind.
121 00:16:21.960 ⇒ 00:16:22.546 Uttam Kumaran: Of course.
122 00:16:24.630 ⇒ 00:16:30.209 Uttam Kumaran: So we basically have everything running. The only thing, Casey I want to go through is like how
123 00:16:30.568 ⇒ 00:16:43.290 Uttam Kumaran: Craig can give us the historicals, so we can populate the past attendance. So we had 2 options, Craig one, I don’t know like I’m on a zoom org account, so I can invite people. I don’t know if you’re
124 00:16:43.510 ⇒ 00:16:46.779 Uttam Kumaran: if that’s possible for you to do cause, then we can just go in and
125 00:16:46.920 ⇒ 00:16:54.690 Uttam Kumaran: basically get that out, or we can walk through the other method, Casey. But yeah, if you want to share screen to do that, or what.
126 00:16:54.690 ⇒ 00:16:59.159 Craig Foldes: Yeah, let me just share my screen. To share your screen. Allow recording.
127 00:16:59.640 ⇒ 00:17:03.141 Craig Foldes: I might have to restart. Hold on. It’s weird.
128 00:17:04.310 ⇒ 00:17:10.819 Craig Foldes: give me a second to share screen. Allow screen recording for chrome in system preferences. You’ll then need to restart chrome.
129 00:17:13.260 ⇒ 00:17:17.489 Craig Foldes: maybe I’ll just open it up on my other computer. But give me one second
130 00:17:20.000 ⇒ 00:17:26.400 Craig Foldes: because it’s my Crocs computer. I might not be able to share my screen. But let me log out and log back in. Give me 2 seconds. Okay.
131 00:17:28.450 ⇒ 00:17:31.089 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, Casey. Maybe he can just go through
132 00:17:32.910 ⇒ 00:17:34.769 Uttam Kumaran: running the export to.
133 00:17:36.400 ⇒ 00:17:38.690 Casie Aviles: Yeah, that’s also one of the options.
134 00:17:40.910 ⇒ 00:17:43.090 Uttam Kumaran: Because we don’t. We only need to do this once.
135 00:17:44.590 ⇒ 00:17:45.490 Casie Aviles: Yeah, yeah.
136 00:17:48.920 ⇒ 00:17:50.940 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, so he just goes into reports.
137 00:17:51.090 ⇒ 00:17:52.650 Uttam Kumaran: usage reports.
138 00:17:53.830 ⇒ 00:17:55.690 Uttam Kumaran: and then hits export.
139 00:18:03.960 ⇒ 00:18:06.100 Uttam Kumaran: I mean, I can even check on my side.
140 00:18:37.920 ⇒ 00:18:38.630 Craig Foldes: Can you hear me?
141 00:18:40.070 ⇒ 00:18:41.000 Craig Foldes: Yeah, yeah.
142 00:18:41.170 ⇒ 00:18:43.109 Craig Foldes: let me see if I can share my screen.
143 00:18:45.540 ⇒ 00:18:46.649 Craig Foldes: Are you guys seeing this.
144 00:18:47.985 ⇒ 00:18:48.830 Uttam Kumaran: Yes.
145 00:18:49.100 ⇒ 00:18:51.019 Craig Foldes: Alright, so give me one second
146 00:18:52.150 ⇒ 00:18:53.970 Craig Foldes: So we said, Zoom right.
147 00:18:54.190 ⇒ 00:18:54.930 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
148 00:19:02.720 ⇒ 00:19:03.450 Uttam Kumaran: so.
149 00:19:03.450 ⇒ 00:19:09.450 Craig Foldes: Casey. I was. I watched that video, and I was doing what you showed me. And I did do the exports. But it
150 00:19:09.460 ⇒ 00:19:12.559 Craig Foldes: so yeah, I mean you. You tell me, how can I see if I can share it with you?
151 00:19:13.053 ⇒ 00:19:17.310 Uttam Kumaran: If you go to reports. Did did the export actually give you all this stuff.
152 00:19:17.480 ⇒ 00:19:21.612 Craig Foldes: It told me how many people were there, but it didn’t tell me
153 00:19:22.520 ⇒ 00:19:28.470 Craig Foldes: like. 1st of all, I could only do one month at a time, and like
154 00:19:35.070 ⇒ 00:19:38.429 Craig Foldes: it wouldn’t give me the names of the individuals it just gave me.
155 00:19:39.990 ⇒ 00:19:45.000 Craig Foldes: that 20 people were there. It’s just exporting this. It’s not exporting the actual names
156 00:19:46.790 ⇒ 00:19:48.800 Craig Foldes: unless I should. Yeah.
157 00:19:49.750 ⇒ 00:19:55.000 Casie Aviles: Oh, right, I think we could click on the participants like, do you see the number 20 there
158 00:19:55.920 ⇒ 00:19:57.029 Casie Aviles: below? Yeah.
159 00:19:57.030 ⇒ 00:20:06.030 Craig Foldes: Oh, great. Okay, that’s what I need to do. Okay, so I’ll just do you want me to just export, export this one by one and then share a Google drive with you that has all this
160 00:20:06.040 ⇒ 00:20:07.319 Craig Foldes: like a Google sheet.
161 00:20:08.480 ⇒ 00:20:09.410 Casie Aviles: Yeah, yeah, they’re good.
162 00:20:09.410 ⇒ 00:20:10.720 Uttam Kumaran: That that’d be.
163 00:20:11.588 ⇒ 00:20:13.679 Uttam Kumaran: This is only one time, basically because.
164 00:20:13.680 ⇒ 00:20:17.645 Craig Foldes: Yeah, so I’ll go do this 12 times. But how do you want me to?
165 00:20:18.200 ⇒ 00:20:20.120 Uttam Kumaran: Drive is fine. Yeah.
166 00:20:20.410 ⇒ 00:20:24.730 Craig Foldes: Well, I can just put it in it. I guess I could put it in a sheet. Do you want me to do like
167 00:20:27.450 ⇒ 00:20:28.729 Craig Foldes: I can just like.
168 00:20:28.730 ⇒ 00:20:34.019 Uttam Kumaran: Pasting it. Yeah, pasting in. Or even if you have file import, you can import the Csv.
169 00:20:34.743 ⇒ 00:20:37.089 Uttam Kumaran: like, if you go to Google sheets, file
170 00:20:38.980 ⇒ 00:20:40.049 Craig Foldes: How do I do this.
171 00:20:40.050 ⇒ 00:20:41.900 Uttam Kumaran: If you go into a new Google sheet.
172 00:20:44.450 ⇒ 00:20:45.190 Craig Foldes: Awkward.
173 00:20:45.600 ⇒ 00:20:51.980 Uttam Kumaran: No, no, if you just go into like a Sig, yeah, like a single Google sheet. And then right under the logo on the top left.
174 00:20:52.270 ⇒ 00:20:54.189 Uttam Kumaran: You can just hit file import
175 00:20:56.940 ⇒ 00:21:03.120 Uttam Kumaran: and it’ll allow you to literally. Just you could just upload that entire batch of Csvs.
176 00:21:04.350 ⇒ 00:21:08.239 Craig Foldes: Okay, great. That’s what I’ll do, and then I’ll share this document with you.
177 00:21:08.240 ⇒ 00:21:15.279 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, but otherwise, yes, it’s working. And yeah, I think we could do some interesting stuff like looking at who’s referring who and stuff like that. But.
178 00:21:15.510 ⇒ 00:21:20.749 Craig Foldes: I agree and attendance. This will be really helpful, because this will be really helpful. All right, I’ll get this to you this afternoon.
179 00:21:20.750 ⇒ 00:21:25.890 Uttam Kumaran: And then the SMS thing I know we’re having issues with. I I was just I was gonna just say
180 00:21:25.900 ⇒ 00:21:29.829 Uttam Kumaran: I told Casey we should just set up our own twilio and like figure it out. But well.
181 00:21:29.830 ⇒ 00:21:34.979 Craig Foldes: It says that it’s because it’s t-mobile. There’s a a call out that says T-mobile doesn’t work, and I’m a t-mobile customer.
182 00:21:34.980 ⇒ 00:21:37.260 Uttam Kumaran: I literally read that I’m like, what are the odds.
