21 00:04:00.380 00:04:05.060 Casie Aviles: Yeah, I just… I don’t know, I just spent the…

22 00:04:05.350 00:04:08.900 Casie Aviles: Weekend inside playing the video games.

23 00:04:09.300 00:04:13.790 Casie Aviles: Probably not the best, like, I should probably do other stuff.

24 00:04:15.320 00:04:18.900 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, but I feel chill… chilling is also good, no.

25 00:04:19.899 00:04:21.869 Casie Aviles: Yeah, it’s a way to recharge.

26 00:04:22.199 00:04:24.269 Casie Aviles: For the week… for the week ahead.

27 00:04:24.270 00:04:25.080 Mustafa Raja: Yeah.

30 00:04:52.480 00:04:59.370 Mustafa Raja: And then… yeah, I was mostly, … yeah, I mostly hung out with my family.

31 00:05:00.090 00:05:04.159 Casie Aviles: Oh, nice. At least you get to be with family. I mean…

32 00:05:04.550 00:05:07.880 Casie Aviles: For me, I have a very small family, so….

33 00:05:07.880 00:05:10.950 Mustafa Raja: Oh, I have a big, big family.

34 00:05:12.430 00:05:16.639 Mustafa Raja: I have, like, 50… I have, like, 50 cousins.

35 00:05:16.640 00:05:19.219 Casie Aviles: Oh, that’s gr- that’s… wow, that’s a lot.

36 00:05:19.230 00:05:20.230 Mustafa Raja: Yeah.

37 00:05:21.480 00:05:29.149 Casie Aviles: Yeah, yeah, that, honestly, typically, the typical Filipino family here, also very big, you know, …

38 00:05:29.500 00:05:35.180 Casie Aviles: I’m just the exception. We’re not… Are not that big.

39 00:05:36.230 00:05:37.120 Mustafa Raja: ….

40 00:05:41.070 00:05:43.670 Casie Aviles: But yeah, that could be fun, right? Like, I mean, you have a lot.

41 00:05:43.670 00:05:44.100 Mustafa Raja: Yeah.

42 00:05:44.100 00:05:44.610 Casie Aviles: People do….

43 00:05:44.610 00:05:52.229 Mustafa Raja: So most of, most of my… my time or my hangouts, would usually be,

44 00:05:52.990 00:05:54.929 Mustafa Raja: With my cousins or something.

45 00:05:55.400 00:05:57.789 Mustafa Raja: And sometimes with my friends….

46 00:05:59.020 00:06:00.110 Casie Aviles: Yeah, yeah.

47 00:06:00.310 00:06:06.519 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, I’m not in contact with the friends that I had in school.

48 00:06:06.800 00:06:15.380 Mustafa Raja: It’s just because that I’m, I’m busy these days. A few years back, I had that.

49 00:06:16.140 00:06:19.580 Mustafa Raja: Though I do get to meet my college and university friends.

50 00:06:21.560 00:06:27.869 Casie Aviles: Yeah, yeah, that’s… that’s nice. I mean… for me, My friends are…

51 00:06:28.120 00:06:30.120 Casie Aviles: On a… at a diff… we’re kind of….

52 00:06:30.120 00:06:35.620 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, you… Yeah, you did your university from Manila, right?

53 00:06:36.280 00:06:37.899 Casie Aviles: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so…

54 00:06:38.080 00:06:50.120 Casie Aviles: I also have friends here in where I live right now, but they’re usually… they also went to other places, so we’re kind of all over the country.

55 00:06:50.640 00:06:53.450 Casie Aviles: It’s hard… it’s hard to meet up, you know, so it’s small.

56 00:06:53.450 00:06:54.320 Mustafa Raja: Austin, just….

57 00:06:54.760 00:06:56.690 Casie Aviles: Texting, you know, and…

58 00:06:57.550 00:07:02.690 Casie Aviles: And everyone’s, you know, working as well, so it’s hard to find time now that we’re….

59 00:07:02.690 00:07:07.020 Mustafa Raja: I don’t It’s only going to be weekends now.

60 00:07:07.410 00:07:10.230 Casie Aviles: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Even weekends are…

61 00:07:10.730 00:07:13.039 Casie Aviles: Sometimes it’s even difficult to get.

62 00:07:13.040 00:07:19.280 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, yeah, because they’re so spread out. I feel that national holidays would be the only time, no?

63 00:07:20.620 00:07:26.540 Casie Aviles: Yeah, yeah, if… if ever, but it, it, around, usually around the… the…

64 00:07:26.850 00:07:30.340 Casie Aviles: December, and here we, since we’re Christian.

65 00:07:30.550 00:07:30.880 Mustafa Raja: We do.

66 00:07:30.880 00:07:32.429 Casie Aviles: Christmas, and…

67 00:07:33.000 00:07:41.030 Casie Aviles: Yeah, it’s mostly during those times where people start to meet up again, so it’s kind of once a year, almost.

68 00:07:42.830 00:07:49.139 Casie Aviles: Because, you know, there’s a lot of vacations for the Christmas period, so….

69 00:07:49.140 00:07:51.240 Mustafa Raja: It’s about a week, right?

70 00:07:51.590 00:07:52.720 Casie Aviles: Yeah, yeah.

71 00:07:58.160 00:07:59.000 Mustafa Raja: Yeah.

72 00:08:15.110 00:08:19.620 Casie Aviles: How do you usually spend your time with your friends or family? Like.

73 00:08:20.060 00:08:20.669 Mustafa Raja: Yeah. When you….

74 00:08:20.670 00:08:21.800 Casie Aviles: When you meet with them.

75 00:08:22.790 00:08:28.190 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, we’d go… go gardening, we’d go… Oh, nice. Oh, nice.

76 00:08:28.420 00:08:38.049 Mustafa Raja: we would go, you know, eat outside or something like that, yeah. It’s just what we are feeling in the moment.

77 00:08:38.059 00:08:43.719 Casie Aviles: Oh, yeah, yeah, definitely. You know, whatever’s fun, whatever you guys feel.

78 00:08:44.030 00:08:44.780 Mustafa Raja: Yeah.

79 00:08:45.050 00:08:52.199 Mustafa Raja: Whatever’s happening those days. Whatever’s popular in social media, we’d do that.

80 00:08:56.330 00:09:00.729 Casie Aviles: Yeah, that’s nice. At least, you guys spent some time.

81 00:09:02.840 00:09:03.760 Mustafa Raja: Yeah.

82 00:09:06.200 00:09:13.890 Mustafa Raja: How do you… how do you, move money from RAMP to your account? I have an ACH set up.

83 00:09:14.480 00:09:18.990 Mustafa Raja: I’m wondering if there are any other ways, just so I know.

84 00:09:20.480 00:09:28.469 Casie Aviles: Oh, moving from… I, I, for me, what I set up is… I think it’s in… it’s via wire transfer.

85 00:09:28.860 00:09:30.530 Mustafa Raja: Oh, you have Vaya.

86 00:09:31.200 00:09:31.740 Casie Aviles: Yeah.

87 00:09:31.740 00:09:32.590 Mustafa Raja: Dono.

88 00:09:33.350 00:09:38.380 Casie Aviles: Yeah, I think so, but I think that’s the only option that I have for international.

89 00:09:38.620 00:09:39.050 Mustafa Raja: Right.

90 00:09:39.050 00:09:39.730 Casie Aviles: Thank you.

91 00:09:39.730 00:09:42.220 Mustafa Raja: should then set up pioneer.

92 00:09:42.820 00:09:44.410 Casie Aviles: Mmm, I don’t know what that….

93 00:09:44.410 00:09:45.100 Mustafa Raja: With being there, yeah.

94 00:09:45.100 00:09:45.580 Casie Aviles: Yes.

95 00:09:45.580 00:10:01.309 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, take a look into that once you have any time. What I have over there is a receiving account, and that account… in that account, the money can come in.

96 00:10:01.420 00:10:06.379 Mustafa Raja: And then from there, I can move it to my local account.

97 00:10:08.750 00:10:09.710 Mustafa Raja: Yeah.

98 00:10:09.850 00:10:13.200 Mustafa Raja: I was just wondering if there are any other options.

99 00:10:13.380 00:10:18.659 Mustafa Raja: Rather than this in wire. Because wire is expensive, I don’t want to do that.

100 00:10:18.660 00:10:24.020 Casie Aviles: Yeah, and I guess there’s, like, … there’s, like, processing time for that as well.

101 00:10:24.210 00:10:25.640 Mustafa Raja: Oh, for Vaya.

102 00:10:26.220 00:10:32.350 Casie Aviles: Yeah, so it takes, like… I think 2 days, at least, for RAMP.

103 00:10:32.610 00:10:35.819 Casie Aviles: To get, like, The money from….

104 00:10:36.090 00:10:38.440 Mustafa Raja: Oh, but that’s the ramp time, no.

105 00:10:39.270 00:10:40.749 Casie Aviles: Oh, is it? Oh, I’m not sure.

106 00:10:43.520 00:10:48.310 Casie Aviles: Yeah, that’s what I have set up. We have, like, another app?

107 00:10:48.420 00:10:54.530 Casie Aviles: which is… I think it’s called Wyze, which is a lot faster, so when someone sends it.

108 00:10:55.070 00:10:59.179 Casie Aviles: from the US, for example, we could get it within the day.

109 00:11:00.000 00:11:01.230 Mustafa Raja: Oh, nice.

110 00:11:01.510 00:11:06.689 Casie Aviles: But, yeah, that’s as far as I know. I’m not sure of the other options.

111 00:11:06.690 00:11:08.969 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, I do Payoneer.

112 00:11:10.100 00:11:12.349 Casie Aviles: Yeah, I’ll take a look at that.

113 00:11:13.730 00:11:15.460 Casie Aviles: Maybe it’s better.

114 00:11:16.700 00:11:21.609 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, the time isn’t going to help itself. It might actually add a day more.

115 00:11:22.280 00:11:24.250 Casie Aviles: Oh… Amazing.

116 00:11:24.550 00:11:31.679 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, because then the money is going to go from RAM to Peony, and then Peyoni to your local account.

117 00:11:32.950 00:11:34.609 Casie Aviles: I… okay, yeah.

118 00:11:34.610 00:11:37.880 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, MPNE takes 1 day to transfer.

119 00:11:38.810 00:11:40.709 Mustafa Raja: But it’s cheaper.

120 00:11:44.630 00:11:50.180 Casie Aviles: For me, like, I’m more concerned about, like, what they call this.

121 00:11:50.560 00:11:52.200 Casie Aviles: The, the, time?

122 00:11:52.660 00:11:55.199 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it makes sense.

123 00:11:55.630 00:11:58.109 Casie Aviles: Yeah, I’ll check also.

124 00:11:59.130 00:11:59.760 Mustafa Raja: Yeah.

125 00:12:05.400 00:12:07.610 Mustafa Raja: I’m also concerned about time.

126 00:12:08.500 00:12:09.460 Casie Aviles: Yeah, that’s true.

127 00:12:09.460 00:12:12.410 Mustafa Raja: I really am. I feel, …

128 00:12:12.720 00:12:18.790 Mustafa Raja: ramp is… I feel the time the peonie takes isn’t really very significant.

129 00:12:19.630 00:12:21.770 Mustafa Raja: So, yeah, it works for me.

130 00:12:22.530 00:12:25.349 Mustafa Raja: But I’m not willing to… You know?

131 00:12:27.240 00:12:27.930 Casie Aviles: Yeah, yeah.

132 00:12:28.280 00:12:33.650 Mustafa Raja: I would spend more time on that, if there’s any other options that take more time, no.

133 00:12:37.380 00:12:46.159 Casie Aviles: I think we were… in the past, we were using a platform called, I think, Gusto, but for… I’m not sure for other folks, but…

134 00:12:46.660 00:12:52.510 Casie Aviles: For us here, it takes really long to arrive in our bank account.

135 00:12:52.720 00:12:56.139 Casie Aviles: So, it’s a good thing we switched away from that.

136 00:12:57.430 00:12:57.900 Mustafa Raja: Yeah.

137 00:12:57.900 00:12:59.130 Casie Aviles: So long.

138 00:12:59.130 00:13:00.899 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, I didn’t know about that.

139 00:13:01.110 00:13:04.400 Casie Aviles: Yeah, like, for example, when it actually gets sent.

140 00:13:05.420 00:13:12.620 Casie Aviles: To our account. It’s gonna take, I guess, 5 days before it gets into our… so almost a week.

141 00:13:13.030 00:13:15.829 Mustafa Raja: Before it gets into our house. That’s a lot, bro!

142 00:13:16.240 00:13:18.649 Casie Aviles: Yeah, it’s really… it’s really bad.

143 00:13:22.370 00:13:28.949 Casie Aviles: That’s why we, we… asked if we could do something else. It’s a good thing we switched.

144 00:13:33.790 00:13:38.110 Mustafa Raja: How long… how long were we using Gusto for?

145 00:13:40.280 00:13:40.950 Casie Aviles: Hmm.

146 00:13:41.160 00:13:44.819 Casie Aviles: I think the mo- the moment I got here…

147 00:13:44.980 00:13:48.270 Casie Aviles: last November, we were using Gusto, so…

148 00:13:49.060 00:13:51.570 Casie Aviles: When did we… when did we use RAND?

149 00:13:51.900 00:13:54.950 Casie Aviles: Until… until the first time we used RAMP.

150 00:13:55.960 00:14:04.420 Casie Aviles: So… I’m not sure if they’ve been using it since the start of the company, but… Yeah, the picture.

151 00:14:06.560 00:14:12.820 Casie Aviles: I don’t know, but yeah, I guess it’s… it’s a… Over half a month, probably.

152 00:14:13.670 00:14:15.949 Casie Aviles: I have a year, I mean, sorry, sorry.

153 00:14:16.900 00:14:19.279 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, half a month wouldn’t be….

154 00:14:19.280 00:14:21.000 Casie Aviles: Yeah, that’s… yeah.

155 00:14:39.420 00:14:43.209 Casie Aviles: Hmm, okay, so for… I think probably for…

156 00:14:45.130 00:14:48.369 Casie Aviles: April or May, we were still using Gusto.

157 00:14:49.000 00:14:54.639 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, when I got, got here, I got, I started in May, I guess?

158 00:14:54.910 00:15:04.370 Mustafa Raja: In, last week of May, and, I was asked to set up Gusto, so yeah.

159 00:15:05.860 00:15:08.599 Casie Aviles: Yeah, that was… 6 months my time.

160 00:15:09.430 00:15:12.590 Casie Aviles: But I’m not sure if they’ve been using it before.

161 00:15:13.470 00:15:14.210 Mustafa Raja: ….

162 00:15:14.670 00:15:16.220 Casie Aviles: Like, before I came on.

163 00:15:16.840 00:15:17.690 Mustafa Raja: Okay, okay.

164 00:15:23.500 00:15:27.380 Casie Aviles: Mmm, okay, it looks like Sam won’t make it, though.

165 00:15:27.890 00:15:30.410 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, it looks like that.

166 00:15:32.880 00:15:38.769 Mustafa Raja: I was able to do the, ABC sheet thing, for scales and gyps.

167 00:15:39.040 00:15:40.450 Casie Aviles: Oh, nice, nice.

168 00:15:40.450 00:15:46.240 Mustafa Raja: I’ve filled up the… ticket with information for Amber’s review.

169 00:15:47.170 00:15:49.819 Casie Aviles: Okay, great. We’ll have time later, I guess.

170 00:15:49.820 00:15:50.260 Mustafa Raja: stupid.

171 00:15:50.260 00:15:51.470 Casie Aviles: How about that, right?

172 00:15:52.670 00:15:59.850 Casie Aviles: Nice, … Was there anything, like, anything major yesterday for the client work?

173 00:16:00.680 00:16:02.020 Mustafa Raja: For ABC.

174 00:16:02.850 00:16:03.860 Casie Aviles: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

175 00:16:04.240 00:16:08.160 Mustafa Raja: We did… we didn’t have a meeting for ABC yesterday.

176 00:16:08.880 00:16:10.930 Casie Aviles: Oh, okay, I see, I see.

177 00:16:11.370 00:16:14.090 Mustafa Raja: We have today, though, so… Yeah.

178 00:16:15.650 00:16:16.850 Casie Aviles: Alright, fine.

179 00:16:20.020 00:16:22.940 Mustafa Raja: Apart from that, for default.

180 00:16:23.310 00:16:30.500 Mustafa Raja: There was a lot of things to do, and there are a lot of things to do for default today, too.

181 00:16:30.500 00:16:31.110 Casie Aviles: -Oh.

182 00:16:31.220 00:16:37.430 Casie Aviles: Okay, yeah, yeah, you can focus on that, I’ll… I guess I’ll worry about the ABC stuff mostly.

183 00:16:38.470 00:16:39.160 Mustafa Raja: Mmm.

184 00:16:39.660 00:16:41.759 Casie Aviles: And then for insomnia, for my side.

185 00:16:41.760 00:16:45.999 Mustafa Raja: Oh, yeah, how’s the… how’s the, automation going?

186 00:16:46.870 00:16:52.170 Casie Aviles: I think it’s do… it’s fine. There are just a lot of things that, …

187 00:16:52.320 00:16:56.390 Casie Aviles: you know, like, there are some cases where I did not

188 00:16:57.640 00:17:00.330 Casie Aviles: catch, so I have to work on those.

189 00:17:00.720 00:17:05.449 Casie Aviles: Okay. Like, I have to build on top of those… of the existing solution.

190 00:17:06.359 00:17:16.449 Mustafa Raja: And did you, did you try, … I remember you mentioning that you wanted to try a browser-based. Did you end up trying that or anything?

191 00:17:16.720 00:17:20.689 Casie Aviles: Yeah, yeah, I actually used the reserbase, but not StageHand.

192 00:17:21.300 00:17:21.960 Casie Aviles: ….

193 00:17:22.119 00:17:22.529 Mustafa Raja: I didn’t.

194 00:17:22.530 00:17:22.849 Casie Aviles: I didn’t.

195 00:17:22.859 00:17:27.159 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, I don’t think you would need stage hand also, right?

196 00:17:28.010 00:17:33.109 Casie Aviles: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m not sure, but I think it’s the AI one, right? Second AI agent.

197 00:17:33.550 00:17:33.960 Mustafa Raja: Yay.

198 00:17:33.960 00:17:34.730 Casie Aviles: Yeah, I’m….

199 00:17:34.730 00:17:39.960 Mustafa Raja: SageHand is just an AI overlay, or AI wrapper on browser base.

200 00:17:40.240 00:17:44.170 Casie Aviles: I see. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don’t know if I’ll need it yet.

201 00:17:44.170 00:17:44.700 Mustafa Raja: Oh my god.

202 00:17:44.700 00:17:50.670 Casie Aviles: I think I was able to at least do, like, some… regular scraping.

203 00:17:51.130 00:18:07.349 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, yeah, because… because it’s… it’s very repetitive task, no? Yeah, it is. So you have a fixed step… a set of steps that you need to make to get the result, right? Yes, yes, that’s true.

204 00:18:09.150 00:18:14.830 Mustafa Raja: Stage hand, I feel, would be for, for unseen situations.

205 00:18:15.160 00:18:18.429 Mustafa Raja: Where we need to make the decisions on the go.

206 00:18:20.070 00:18:25.709 Casie Aviles: Oh, yeah, yeah, and if it’s, like, you know, there’s a lot of… it’s not completely repetitive when, yeah.

207 00:18:25.710 00:18:26.910 Mustafa Raja: That makes sense.

208 00:18:32.020 00:18:33.850 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, I guess, I guess.

209 00:18:34.540 00:18:35.970 Casie Aviles: We can probably hop off.

210 00:18:36.100 00:18:38.059 Mustafa Raja: We can probably hop off.

211 00:18:38.550 00:18:40.090 Mustafa Raja: Nice meeting you.

212 00:18:40.480 00:18:44.009 Casie Aviles: Yeah, yeah, yeah, … Have a great rest of the week.

213 00:18:44.200 00:18:45.080 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, yeah.

214 00:18:45.080 00:18:50.000 Casie Aviles: I’ll just… yeah, let’s just update some… on the Slack channel.

215 00:18:50.000 00:18:52.659 Mustafa Raja: Yay. Okay, thanks, myself. Thank you, thank you.

216 00:18:52.990 00:18:53.690 Mustafa Raja: Bye.
