10 00:03:32.410 ⇒ 00:03:33.110 Awaish Kumar: No.
11 00:03:46.100 ⇒ 00:03:50.690 Robert Tseng: Well, it’s the occasion, Awash? You’re all, like, dressed up with your hair all nice.
12 00:03:51.220 ⇒ 00:03:54.699 Awaish Kumar: Oh, nothing. I just had a haircut.
13 00:03:54.700 ⇒ 00:03:55.230 Robert Tseng: Okay.
14 00:03:56.490 ⇒ 00:03:59.329 Robert Tseng: Alright, I thought… thought you,
15 00:04:00.370 ⇒ 00:04:02.679 Robert Tseng: Looking good for the clients later.
16 00:04:05.060 ⇒ 00:04:05.700 Awaish Kumar: Yeah.
17 00:04:17.230 ⇒ 00:04:21.949 Robert Tseng: We are almost at the end of the week, so I’m very excited.
18 00:04:23.680 ⇒ 00:04:25.400 Robert Tseng: I,
19 00:04:26.160 ⇒ 00:04:38.010 Robert Tseng: I have, like, a burst blood vessel in my eye. I think it’s… it’s been pretty… it’s a very, pretty rough week. I… I took a… I took an exam yesterday, and then… then my blood vessel burst.
20 00:04:38.540 ⇒ 00:04:49.859 Robert Tseng: Afterwards. But, so yeah, gotta… didn’t sleep well, and, probably won’t be on the screen for too long today, at least not the same rate that I’ve been the past few days.
21 00:04:52.530 ⇒ 00:04:55.729 Robert Tseng: So that’s why I’m wearing these glasses. I don’t usually wear glasses.
22 00:04:57.220 ⇒ 00:05:00.580 Sezim Zhenishbekova: Is that because of the pressure, or what… what’s… what happened?
23 00:05:00.580 ⇒ 00:05:06.929 Robert Tseng: I don’t really know. I think it’s stress, and also the fact that I’ve been looking at a screen for, like, 15 hours a day, like, it’s just… it’s probably…
24 00:05:06.930 ⇒ 00:05:07.640 Sezim Zhenishbekova: It’s not, knock.
25 00:05:07.640 ⇒ 00:05:17.390 Robert Tseng: good, yeah. But hopefully my body holds… holds on for just a little bit, like, until next Wednesday, and then I should be… be fine.
26 00:05:18.420 ⇒ 00:05:20.090 Robert Tseng: But yeah.
27 00:05:20.570 ⇒ 00:05:27.330 Robert Tseng: Okay, cool. Well, this will be quick, because, I gotta jump to the Element call in, like, 20 minutes, so…
28 00:05:27.670 ⇒ 00:05:31.289 Robert Tseng: I will share my screen.
29 00:05:33.670 ⇒ 00:05:39.719 Robert Tseng: And… Okay, let’s go through this. So… Maybe we’ll start with…
30 00:05:39.900 ⇒ 00:05:52.229 Robert Tseng: Eden… we’ll do… we’ll do Eden last, because I want to ask some specific questions there. I’ll just kind of run through everything else. Readme is pretty good. I mean, Greg’s not on this call, so we’re good. We have a call with them later today. I think,
31 00:05:52.260 ⇒ 00:06:01.399 Robert Tseng: you know, long story short, I think I pretty much gave Reed me an ultimatum. Like, they’re either gonna kind of take my recommendation, or we’re gonna cut them at the end of the month. So, that’s kind of,
32 00:06:01.490 ⇒ 00:06:02.980 Robert Tseng: Kind of the situation now.
33 00:06:03.160 ⇒ 00:06:12.279 Robert Tseng: So I’ll skip that. And then Honey Stinger, yeah, I think there’s some stuff for me to review from Amber, just not… oh, Amber’s here. Oh, great.
34 00:06:13.520 ⇒ 00:06:19.860 Robert Tseng: Yeah, sorry, I know you just jumped in. Yeah, let’s… can we spend a couple minutes talking about this, so I know how to…
35 00:06:19.990 ⇒ 00:06:25.460 Robert Tseng: Like, what we need to get done by tomorrow. Are you waiting on me for reviews? Because I… yeah.
36 00:06:26.640 ⇒ 00:06:39.519 Amber Lin: The only thing up for review is the Amazon slides that I polished up. Today, I am doing the, polishing the Shopify slides, so Hunnison 75.
37 00:06:39.810 ⇒ 00:06:52.190 Amber Lin: And also the demand plan requirements. I met with Henry yesterday, he had some initial thoughts, but I know he’s not working today, so I’ll take that on, and…
38 00:06:52.390 ⇒ 00:07:02.739 Amber Lin: I’m gonna have to think more about… I’ve never done demand plans before, so hopefully there’s someone… I also asked in the chat if someone has done that before, so…
39 00:07:03.120 ⇒ 00:07:10.919 Robert Tseng: Yeah, I, I said you should reach out to Season, like, I think, she should be able to help with demand planning.
40 00:07:10.920 ⇒ 00:07:11.500 Amber Lin: Okay, great.
41 00:07:11.500 ⇒ 00:07:22.209 Robert Tseng: Like, and you guys don’t have to build out, like, a model by tomorrow. I think it’s just, like, try to understand what data is there, and then you’re just describing what the inputs could be, and, like, I want to get…
42 00:07:22.210 ⇒ 00:07:23.250 Amber Lin: Yeah, that’s what I thought.
43 00:07:23.250 ⇒ 00:07:26.940 Robert Tseng: mitigate that to buyer. Okay, cool. So hopefully that would be good.
44 00:07:27.130 ⇒ 00:07:31.389 Robert Tseng: I did give him the tracking scope yesterday, so I think that’s…
45 00:07:31.390 ⇒ 00:07:31.740 Amber Lin: Awesome.
46 00:07:31.740 ⇒ 00:07:34.220 Robert Tseng: Although, now I just need to double check.
47 00:07:35.330 ⇒ 00:07:40.469 Robert Tseng: I think he asked for… I thought I did share this out.
48 00:07:41.580 ⇒ 00:07:42.510 Robert Tseng: Oh.
49 00:07:42.730 ⇒ 00:07:44.479 Robert Tseng: Nope, I’m sorry.
50 00:07:44.840 ⇒ 00:07:47.530 Robert Tseng: I guess he didn’t review it, because he got stuck in this.
51 00:07:47.800 ⇒ 00:07:53.110 Robert Tseng: I… Just default anybody with the link.
52 00:07:53.350 ⇒ 00:07:54.770 Robert Tseng: Yep, comments.
53 00:07:55.900 ⇒ 00:07:59.850 Robert Tseng: Okay, let me just shoot a quick message before I forget.
54 00:08:04.930 ⇒ 00:08:09.820 Robert Tseng: Okay, great, so that’s that, what’s done.
55 00:08:09.820 ⇒ 00:08:18.170 Amber Lin: on the meeting with Megan. Since our meeting with Byron got pushed back, and we need Byron on the call, we might not be able to do it Friday.
56 00:08:18.640 ⇒ 00:08:22.240 Amber Lin: Cause I was on the flight, so… might need.
57 00:08:22.240 ⇒ 00:08:23.990 Robert Tseng: Oh, Byron wanted to reschedule?
58 00:08:25.000 ⇒ 00:08:30.859 Amber Lin: Yeah, Byron rescheduled our Friday meeting one hour later, which I think you’re still free.
59 00:08:31.040 ⇒ 00:08:32.020 Amber Lin: So…
60 00:08:32.789 ⇒ 00:08:33.279 Robert Tseng: Okay.
61 00:08:33.280 ⇒ 00:08:38.449 Amber Lin: Megan doesn’t really have time other than the slot that got taken up.
62 00:08:38.820 ⇒ 00:08:41.000 Amber Lin: So… Thinking about it.
63 00:08:41.000 ⇒ 00:08:43.710 Robert Tseng: So, who are we moving? Are we moving Megan or Byron?
64 00:08:44.190 ⇒ 00:08:54.759 Amber Lin: Byron’s at 4pm EST, so that call moved an hour later. Meaning when Megan is not
65 00:08:54.860 ⇒ 00:08:58.530 Amber Lin: booked yet, because I need to know when Byron is free.
66 00:09:00.350 ⇒ 00:09:01.680 Robert Tseng: And why does he need to be there?
67 00:09:02.560 ⇒ 00:09:08.060 Amber Lin: He said he wants to be a fly on the wall, and I asked if he wants to be there.
68 00:09:08.460 ⇒ 00:09:13.310 Robert Tseng: Can we just book two? Like, we’ll still do a call with Byron tomorrow, and then we can… he can join Monday?
69 00:09:16.170 ⇒ 00:09:19.680 Amber Lin: You mean what Megan’s meeting? Sorry.
70 00:09:20.330 ⇒ 00:09:22.729 Robert Tseng: Yeah, Megan is Grain Group, right?
71 00:09:23.060 ⇒ 00:09:23.680 Amber Lin: Yeah.
72 00:09:24.320 ⇒ 00:09:29.000 Robert Tseng: Yeah, like, we were supposed to talk to Green before we met with Byron next, so…
73 00:09:29.930 ⇒ 00:09:37.770 Robert Tseng: if that’s not gonna happen, then I mean, I don’t feel like we should delay Byron until Monday. Like, Grain… the meeting with Grain should still happen.
74 00:09:39.130 ⇒ 00:09:46.659 Robert Tseng: But, like, if it’s not this week, that’s fine, but, like, we shouldn’t off… we shouldn’t, like, knock our weekly cadence off track with Byron.
75 00:09:46.660 ⇒ 00:09:53.689 Amber Lin: Oh, no, that’s… that’s for this Friday. Sorry, I didn’t make it clear. The meeting with Grain might need to go to Monday.
76 00:09:55.560 ⇒ 00:10:03.150 Robert Tseng: Okay, alright, then, yeah, I think that’s… that’s fine. I doubt we’ll actually talk to them on Monday, because Mondays are pretty crazy for me, but…
77 00:10:03.490 ⇒ 00:10:05.359 Robert Tseng: Sure, we could… we could move it.
78 00:10:06.820 ⇒ 00:10:12.369 Robert Tseng: Alright, so that’s that. Okay, we’ll move through this.
79 00:10:15.470 ⇒ 00:10:27.029 Robert Tseng: Yeah, for Insomnia, I think just… yeah, we didn’t send the scorecard yet. Did I get a… I mean, I was supposed to meet with you two for a review yesterday, but obviously didn’t get around to it, so…
80 00:10:27.420 ⇒ 00:10:47.130 Sezim Zhenishbekova: So yeah, I also worked on it. Amber, after you designed it, I also polished it. I fixed one board. I don’t know, for some reason, all the formulas crashed. There’s… it’s not giving me the values that it was giving me, like, a couple days ago, and right now, I’m debugging it again, trying to understand what changed and why it made it, like, executive board to…
81 00:10:47.130 ⇒ 00:10:49.400 Sezim Zhenishbekova: Completely not calculated, so…
82 00:10:49.770 ⇒ 00:10:57.840 Sezim Zhenishbekova: Yeah, so I’ve managed to fix one last weekly mix, but now I’m focusing on utterly and Executive Center.
83 00:10:58.860 ⇒ 00:11:03.010 Robert Tseng: Okay, well, they don’t work on Fridays, so this needs to go out today. Is that possible?
84 00:11:03.660 ⇒ 00:11:04.330 Sezim Zhenishbekova: Yes.
85 00:11:04.910 ⇒ 00:11:05.500 Robert Tseng: Okay.
86 00:11:07.040 ⇒ 00:11:14.860 Robert Tseng: Then I’m gonna just set another placeholder on the calendar, like, later in the day, and we’re just gonna review and send. I think that’s,
87 00:11:15.290 ⇒ 00:11:16.720 Robert Tseng: That’s what we’ll do there.
88 00:11:16.940 ⇒ 00:11:25.530 Robert Tseng: And then Amber, you’re working directly with the folks, so we don’t need to send it via email, but I want to send the scorecard via email to, to the CEO.
89 00:11:29.920 ⇒ 00:11:31.110 Amber Lin: Sounds good.
90 00:11:31.850 ⇒ 00:11:32.880 Robert Tseng: Okay, great.
91 00:11:33.190 ⇒ 00:11:39.420 Robert Tseng: Alright, I’m not gonna touch these. We will move to…
92 00:11:39.830 ⇒ 00:11:45.759 Robert Tseng: Yeah, Eden, let’s spend a few minutes here. Yeah, so…
93 00:11:47.870 ⇒ 00:11:48.950 Awaish Kumar: I think this…
94 00:11:48.950 ⇒ 00:11:50.820 Robert Tseng: Yeah, go ahead.
95 00:11:50.820 ⇒ 00:11:56.350 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, I would love to ask, like, you added a ticket yesterday, 1179.
96 00:11:57.650 ⇒ 00:12:01.839 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, that was done, right? So, I don’t know why it’s not doing properly.
97 00:12:01.840 ⇒ 00:12:05.450 Zoran Selinger: Yeah, yeah, and it’s been that for a couple of weeks, right?
98 00:12:06.380 ⇒ 00:12:08.620 Awaish Kumar: I was just, I was just confused.
99 00:12:08.810 ⇒ 00:12:09.740 Robert Tseng: Okay.
100 00:12:10.290 ⇒ 00:12:10.970 Robert Tseng: No problem.
101 00:12:18.280 ⇒ 00:12:22.519 Robert Tseng: All right, yeah, Jerron, anything you want to add here?
102 00:12:25.180 ⇒ 00:12:35.310 Zoran Selinger: I mean, yeah, we are… we are working on… so I’m working with Ashwini on two things. We are completing the meta still, but yesterday, kind of late, Ryan.
103 00:12:35.310 ⇒ 00:12:41.799 Robert Tseng: I mean, I guess, I know all the context, I just want to know, like, what’s actually going to get done, and what we’re pushing out.
104 00:12:41.800 ⇒ 00:12:50.680 Zoran Selinger: Yeah, so we just, so I just mapped, basically parameters with, with Ashwini, so we, we are working on, on.
105 00:12:50.880 ⇒ 00:12:55.960 Zoran Selinger: the Catalyst update and MetTablet, and both, both will be done this,
106 00:12:56.110 ⇒ 00:12:59.289 Zoran Selinger: At some point today or tomorrow.
107 00:12:59.810 ⇒ 00:13:07.640 Robert Tseng: Okay. Yeah, I know you flagged something for Mitesh, they’re, like, at risk of losing their Catalyst partnership. You want to tell me more about that? Like, where… I mean, I understand.
108 00:13:07.640 ⇒ 00:13:13.570 Zoran Selinger: Yeah, I mean, I got that from Ryan, yes. They, I mean.
109 00:13:14.090 ⇒ 00:13:18.140 Zoran Selinger: you remember that we were overpaying for them, and I think they’re just.
110 00:13:18.140 ⇒ 00:13:18.580 Robert Tseng: Yeah.
111 00:13:18.580 ⇒ 00:13:21.859 Zoran Selinger: There’s a shock when they really see the real value.
112 00:13:21.900 ⇒ 00:13:25.220 Zoran Selinger: Real numbers that, that, we are showing.
113 00:13:25.260 ⇒ 00:13:44.360 Zoran Selinger: Specifically, Ryan named Forbes as being the one that’s problematic, that is, that is threatening to drop us completely, and we looked at the raw data tables, they’re generating around 150 sessions a day, and that’s, like.
114 00:13:44.620 ⇒ 00:13:48.069 Zoran Selinger: Two to three transactions a day, which is, like.
115 00:13:48.410 ⇒ 00:13:53.480 Zoran Selinger: 2.1, 2.5% conversion rate, which is normal.
116 00:13:53.480 ⇒ 00:13:56.940 Robert Tseng: it’s… those are the real numbers. I don’t see… Yeah.
117 00:13:56.940 ⇒ 00:13:59.430 Zoran Selinger: I don’t know what to do.
118 00:13:59.740 ⇒ 00:14:08.819 Zoran Selinger: So, the question, the ask here is, let’s just do everything that we can On our side, and then…
119 00:14:09.200 ⇒ 00:14:13.469 Zoran Selinger: go into that difficult conversation. I don’t know. I don’t know.
120 00:14:13.630 ⇒ 00:14:17.230 Zoran Selinger: It’s… it’s a channel that we have to save.
121 00:14:17.390 ⇒ 00:14:19.730 Zoran Selinger: We have to do our best to save the channel.
122 00:14:21.060 ⇒ 00:14:27.450 Zoran Selinger: And having this being fully server-side is one of those things.
123 00:14:27.660 ⇒ 00:14:30.340 Zoran Selinger: So I, I’m… Okay.
124 00:14:30.340 ⇒ 00:14:39.600 Robert Tseng: So when are you talking to them? Like, when, when, like, do you, like, how can I help there? Or you… I mean, yeah, I should be on that call, like, or whatever, like, I… yeah.
125 00:14:39.600 ⇒ 00:14:56.340 Zoran Selinger: There’s nothing scheduled at the moment. Ryan, I just said to Ryan, we are working on it right now. He acknowledged it with an emoji, so I don’t have any updates from what you see right there. Okay. We’re just working on it.
126 00:14:57.960 ⇒ 00:15:05.859 Robert Tseng: Alright, yeah, I mean, I guess I’m just, you know, just loop me in. If there’s a call with Catalyst scheduled, and we need to, like, make the case for anything, like, we need… yeah, like, I…
127 00:15:05.860 ⇒ 00:15:06.570 Zoran Selinger: I can, I can help.
128 00:15:06.570 ⇒ 00:15:07.429 Robert Tseng: So the mascara there.
129 00:15:07.430 ⇒ 00:15:14.259 Zoran Selinger: Sure. It’s not there right now. Everything’s on Ryan, everyone’s, kinda,
130 00:15:15.230 ⇒ 00:15:18.089 Zoran Selinger: He’s under pressure, there at the moment.
131 00:15:18.380 ⇒ 00:15:19.310 Robert Tseng: Got it.
132 00:15:20.030 ⇒ 00:15:22.390 Robert Tseng: Are these still being worked on this week?
133 00:15:23.380 ⇒ 00:15:24.190 Zoran Selinger: Which one?
134 00:15:25.530 ⇒ 00:15:27.300 Robert Tseng: These two, I’m at.
135 00:15:28.360 ⇒ 00:15:30.299 Robert Tseng: Like, I mean, can you see my screen?
136 00:15:30.300 ⇒ 00:15:38.319 Zoran Selinger: Yes, so, yeah, BQ to copy, yes. Non-integrated channel, yes.
137 00:15:38.470 ⇒ 00:15:47.959 Zoran Selinger: But the audit, yeah, so that’s not, I still have to talk to Ryan. Obviously, we… at the moment, we can’t talk about.
138 00:15:47.960 ⇒ 00:15:49.340 Robert Tseng: Yeah, we’ll move this.
139 00:15:49.340 ⇒ 00:15:57.870 Zoran Selinger: I just haven’t had a chance… I mean, we need to dig through to find the API, but just, obviously, that’s not gonna happen this week.
140 00:15:58.360 ⇒ 00:16:01.479 Robert Tseng: And this is probably not gonna happen until Qatar comes back, right?
141 00:16:03.280 ⇒ 00:16:08.220 Zoran Selinger: No, no, no, that is the part of our metawork.
142 00:16:10.330 ⇒ 00:16:12.769 Robert Tseng: Okay, this is related to Ashwini’s ticket here?
143 00:16:12.770 ⇒ 00:16:19.929 Zoran Selinger: Yes, so that’s just me making some adjustments in the GTM once the reverse ETL part is done.
144 00:16:20.340 ⇒ 00:16:27.559 Zoran Selinger: Okay. So that’s… that’s gonna be done. I go into segmented and do one… complete one ticket, I go into GT and complete the other one.
145 00:16:28.040 ⇒ 00:16:28.540 Zoran Selinger: Okay.
146 00:16:28.540 ⇒ 00:16:29.170 Robert Tseng: Sounds good.
147 00:16:29.500 ⇒ 00:16:30.210 Zoran Selinger: Yeah, yeah.
148 00:16:30.210 ⇒ 00:16:38.280 Robert Tseng: Yeah, I guess, Dimulotti, I know you’re not usually on these calls, I just wanna… there’s some stuff that’s been sitting here all week, so I wanna know, like, what… any updates to these?
149 00:16:39.300 ⇒ 00:16:46.579 Demilade Agboola: So for… The… costs upload…
150 00:16:46.710 ⇒ 00:16:50.690 Demilade Agboola: for opioids, I’m currently looking at that.
151 00:16:51.410 ⇒ 00:16:54.030 Demilade Agboola: Actually, no, I think that’s blocked.
152 00:16:54.130 ⇒ 00:17:00.929 Demilade Agboola: Appliance has basically said that they don’t have that right now, but it’s not the product. So, like…
153 00:17:00.930 ⇒ 00:17:02.989 Robert Tseng: Fluence has no API.
154 00:17:03.510 ⇒ 00:17:06.589 Robert Tseng: Currently… blocked.
155 00:17:07.050 ⇒ 00:17:15.619 Robert Tseng: Although we did give Mitesh a quote, it was like, okay, once they add it in, we can turn it on pretty quick. So, I don’t know, are… you’re talking to them, like…
156 00:17:15.740 ⇒ 00:17:22.550 Robert Tseng: what’s… do they have a timeline? Like, they… they wanted… they wanted this… I mean, obviously they wanted that ASAP, but yeah.
157 00:17:23.130 ⇒ 00:17:27.349 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, but I think what… this… so…
158 00:17:27.500 ⇒ 00:17:39.369 Demilade Agboola: initially, this started off as a task to put it into Uploons. They haven’t given us a timeline about that, but I know Zoran reached out to move some of the Uploons data that I’m modeling in the warehouse into,
159 00:17:39.370 ⇒ 00:17:46.240 Robert Tseng: Yeah, we’re doing… we can do manual uploads, and so Zoran’s building a, like, an SOP for them to manually upload. That’s the… that’s the short-term.
160 00:17:46.240 ⇒ 00:17:57.639 Zoran Selinger: Yeah, I think we’ll have to do that. I was looking at messages from between Demilade and Vanessa yesterday, and it looked to me like there might be a different solution.
161 00:17:57.830 ⇒ 00:17:58.870 Zoran Selinger: he might…
162 00:17:59.340 ⇒ 00:18:11.909 Zoran Selinger: might have something that we could use for… for that, but, looks like if the melata says it’s… it’s blocked, then yeah, we… I have to create that SOP, for them to update daily.
163 00:18:12.090 ⇒ 00:18:16.850 Awaish Kumar: Okay. It’s good for uploading calls to Northbeam, or uploading to Upfluence.
164 00:18:16.850 ⇒ 00:18:19.309 Demilade Agboola: That’s what I’m trying to say, because these are two different things.
165 00:18:19.600 ⇒ 00:18:25.970 Zoran Selinger: Yeah, these are two different things. I’m talking about uploading cost to Nordbin. This is…
166 00:18:25.970 ⇒ 00:18:27.400 Awaish Kumar: Very important.
167 00:18:27.500 ⇒ 00:18:28.090 Zoran Selinger: Sure.
168 00:18:28.090 ⇒ 00:18:28.889 Demilade Agboola: This is for.
169 00:18:29.130 ⇒ 00:18:32.559 Demilade Agboola: So we need a new ticket, though, because this is for upfluence, which is blocked.
170 00:18:32.950 ⇒ 00:18:40.410 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, Dunlade, like, I don’t think we need to upload, like, spend data to UpFillings. We need to send orders data to Upfluence.
171 00:18:40.900 ⇒ 00:18:41.719 Demilade Agboola: Yes, so that was…
172 00:18:41.720 ⇒ 00:18:43.899 Awaish Kumar: Because we don’t have reverse ETM.
173 00:18:44.620 ⇒ 00:18:49.649 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, exactly. So now we need to upload cost data to Northbeam. So those are two different tickets.
174 00:18:49.650 ⇒ 00:18:52.220 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, this is a completely different thing.
175 00:18:53.590 ⇒ 00:18:55.220 Robert Tseng: Okay, let me change this.
176 00:18:56.270 ⇒ 00:19:01.799 Demilade Agboola: So Zoran wants me to be able to move the cost, the cost data to our appliance, so that…
177 00:19:02.680 ⇒ 00:19:05.860 Demilade Agboola: To North Beam, sorry, no plans. So, obviously, yeah.
178 00:19:06.080 ⇒ 00:19:13.640 Zoran Selinger: Yeah, I said for affluence, and that’s in the… in the NordBeam project, so I… I thought it was… it was clear, but…
179 00:19:13.640 ⇒ 00:19:14.160 Awaish Kumar: too loud.
180 00:19:14.160 ⇒ 00:19:15.539 Zoran Selinger: Yeah, so, yeah, we need to be…
181 00:19:16.310 ⇒ 00:19:27.339 Demilade Agboola: So, this one is blocked. This is the one that is blocked, because up points cannot allow us, or doesn’t have an impact, allow us to move that. Now, the other one for cost to…
182 00:19:27.340 ⇒ 00:19:32.810 Robert Tseng: Wait, isn’t this the same thing? Okay, come on, guys, like, okay, I don’t know all your tickets, like, I…
183 00:19:33.030 ⇒ 00:19:45.789 Robert Tseng: Like, I’m showing you the tickets, and I’m changing it on the fly, so tell me if it’s… if it’s the same thing. Like, I didn’t… okay, I’m just like… I’m just… I feel like I’m just doing useless work right now, so,
184 00:19:46.070 ⇒ 00:19:49.500 Robert Tseng: Okay, yeah, I basically just created a duplicate thing. This is insane.
185 00:19:49.500 ⇒ 00:19:50.040 Demilade Agboola: accurate.
186 00:19:50.330 ⇒ 00:19:54.119 Robert Tseng: So what this was, you know, cost upload for UpFluence.
187 00:19:54.120 ⇒ 00:19:54.550 Awaish Kumar: Do not.
188 00:19:54.800 ⇒ 00:19:58.430 Demilade Agboola: Alright, so let’s make it smaller. Okay, so now this is clear.
189 00:19:58.430 ⇒ 00:19:58.940 Robert Tseng: Okay.
190 00:19:59.920 ⇒ 00:20:01.530 Demilade Agboola: Alright, so this is in progress.
191 00:20:02.100 ⇒ 00:20:02.510 Robert Tseng: Okay.
192 00:20:02.510 ⇒ 00:20:05.070 Zoran Selinger: Yes. Okay, so it is in progress.
193 00:20:05.590 ⇒ 00:20:07.229 Demilade Agboola: Yes, yes, this is in progress.
194 00:20:07.570 ⇒ 00:20:09.040 Demilade Agboola: Excellent. Oh.
195 00:20:10.620 ⇒ 00:20:16.369 Demilade Agboola: he, the other ones, yeah, so that’s basically what I’m working on.
196 00:20:16.740 ⇒ 00:20:22.539 Demilade Agboola: Right, I’m also validating the opulence numbers, the cost numbers, with the ADEN team.
197 00:20:22.680 ⇒ 00:20:35.370 Demilade Agboola: So, Vanessa has been of great help in regards to that, like, telling me, hey, these numbers are from people who have applied for the program, but haven’t gotten in, and, like, markers for things like that. So that’s the… once I
198 00:20:36.020 ⇒ 00:20:39.649 Demilade Agboola: Once that’s fully done, we’ll upload the numbers directly into Nocti.
199 00:20:41.460 ⇒ 00:20:47.250 Robert Tseng: Okay, and, Henry added a few things here. Did he talk to you about it? Like, what is, what is… what are these things?
200 00:20:54.040 ⇒ 00:20:57.679 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, so this, I might, like, I need to sync with Harry on this.
201 00:20:57.830 ⇒ 00:20:59.780 Demilade Agboola: Like, this doesn’t mistreat…
202 00:20:59.780 ⇒ 00:21:02.380 Robert Tseng: He’s not here, so… that’s next cycle.
203 00:21:02.930 ⇒ 00:21:04.920 Robert Tseng: This one.
204 00:21:06.590 ⇒ 00:21:12.320 Demilade Agboola: So, for this… Still have to get a look, though.
205 00:21:15.280 ⇒ 00:21:19.369 Demilade Agboola: So I think, because I’ll reach out to Stuart directly,
206 00:21:19.510 ⇒ 00:21:24.550 Demilade Agboola: Because it appears that the way he’s looking at isn’t necessarily where we normally look at.
207 00:21:24.930 ⇒ 00:21:30.440 Demilade Agboola: So, he’s looking at webflow.pages, but we don’t track
208 00:21:31.250 ⇒ 00:21:39.359 Demilade Agboola: campaigns with web product pages, so I will need to just confirm and ensure that, like, the numbers are the same.
209 00:21:39.970 ⇒ 00:21:40.560 Robert Tseng: Yeah.
210 00:21:48.510 ⇒ 00:21:57.389 Robert Tseng: Okay, so this may not actually even be an issue, so I’m just gonna put that there. This seems like you’re just answering him, so I’m expecting you to do that one.
211 00:21:57.840 ⇒ 00:22:02.060 Robert Tseng: This one’s been here for a while. This is still low priority? Are we just gotta kick this?
212 00:22:03.170 ⇒ 00:22:05.940 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, I think we should just kick it to the next cycle, because today’s already Thursday.
213 00:22:07.340 ⇒ 00:22:16.359 Robert Tseng: Okay. Yeah, I mean, I just wanted this board to be clear, because, like, I know, like, this team has struggled to put new roadmap on, like, we’re already dealing with it.
214 00:22:16.360 ⇒ 00:22:35.549 Robert Tseng: But as you can see, like, we… we, like, underperformed by, like, 50% this week. Like, we just, like, didn’t… we barely did anything, is basically what I’m seeing. Other than, obviously, Zoran and, like, Oueish, you guys are… or Oeshmini are doing a couple modeling tasks, but for, like, the capacity that we should have for this client, we did, like, 50% of, like, what we should be doing, so…
215 00:22:35.550 ⇒ 00:22:40.200 Robert Tseng: I mean, I just… I want the record to reflect that, so that I can make adjustments moving forward.
216 00:22:40.410 ⇒ 00:22:58.910 Robert Tseng: Yeah. Okay, and then, last thing on this, for Sezim, like, this ticket has been here. I understand that, like, Henry kind of met with you, gave you some direction. I still don’t know, like, how he broke up your tasks. I haven’t seen anything from you on Eden, so I don’t know if you’re really, like, I don’t know what you’re doing for Jonah.
217 00:22:59.040 ⇒ 00:23:01.649 Robert Tseng: I don’t think this ticket really reflects that, so…
218 00:23:02.160 ⇒ 00:23:10.630 Sezim Zhenishbekova: So I had a couple calls, and then, every time it was Henry, we were… while at fall, I asked some questions, but…
219 00:23:10.700 ⇒ 00:23:24.619 Sezim Zhenishbekova: I was mostly at that creating time looking into Tableau, trying to understand the data sets that we have, so yesterday I started actually, like, thinking in and trying to put together the data, and I just messaged him, because… yeah.
220 00:23:24.900 ⇒ 00:23:28.650 Sezim Zhenishbekova: But we’ve never, like, broke down the task, like, one by one.
221 00:23:29.370 ⇒ 00:23:29.980 Sezim Zhenishbekova: We’ve never…
222 00:23:29.980 ⇒ 00:23:34.680 Robert Tseng: But you are building a dashboard for him? Is that, like, is that the…
223 00:23:34.680 ⇒ 00:23:42.160 Sezim Zhenishbekova: Yes, like, in this ticket, in this ticket, you will see the Excel sheet, that Jonah, like, uses himself.
224 00:23:42.580 ⇒ 00:23:43.110 Robert Tseng: Yep.
225 00:23:44.420 ⇒ 00:23:48.189 Sezim Zhenishbekova: I think it’s in the comments. Not this ticket, the other one.
226 00:23:48.350 ⇒ 00:23:51.470 Sezim Zhenishbekova: In the linear, in the comments section.
227 00:23:51.900 ⇒ 00:24:03.840 Sezim Zhenishbekova: Didn’t edit? He deleted. Okay, so there is an Excel sheet that Yona shared with us, and I needed to take the analysis that he runs and put it out to…
228 00:24:06.050 ⇒ 00:24:14.110 Sezim Zhenishbekova: and build it in Tableau, the same version of it. But for that, I needed some betas, and in terms of retention,
229 00:24:14.110 ⇒ 00:24:14.650 Robert Tseng: Yeah.
230 00:24:14.850 ⇒ 00:24:24.029 Sezim Zhenishbekova: and all other data, and I started going through them, and there were too many duplicates, and I just got confused with what data to pull from where.
231 00:24:24.730 ⇒ 00:24:30.099 Robert Tseng: Okay, yeah, so got… got it. You… are you… you’re building this in Tableau?
232 00:24:30.560 ⇒ 00:24:31.500 Sezim Zhenishbekova: Yes.
233 00:24:31.790 ⇒ 00:24:39.360 Robert Tseng: Okay, alright, great. I mean, that’s… that’s fine. I think, yeah, I think that’s… it doesn’t look like you will… this will be done this week, so…
234 00:24:40.220 ⇒ 00:24:40.570 Sezim Zhenishbekova: Sure.
235 00:24:40.570 ⇒ 00:24:42.660 Robert Tseng: Like, what’s… what’s the actual deadline?
236 00:24:43.740 ⇒ 00:24:45.200 Sezim Zhenishbekova: So,
237 00:24:46.270 ⇒ 00:25:00.050 Sezim Zhenishbekova: I was planning to do it by the end of this week, to have at least, like, some map, like, some tables that are out there, make it a structure, and even though it’s not a good desk, so that I have the visuals of it.
238 00:25:00.140 ⇒ 00:25:06.790 Sezim Zhenishbekova: And I just need to update the data. I wanted to focus on that next little time by the end of this week.
239 00:25:08.210 ⇒ 00:25:16.179 Robert Tseng: Okay, yeah, so I think there’s really, like, two things here. So there’s, like, redesign… design, journals.
240 00:25:16.180 ⇒ 00:25:22.809 Sezim Zhenishbekova: Yeah, I just posted the project so far, and it turns out I put it in the comments where I share.
241 00:25:23.400 ⇒ 00:25:28.270 Robert Tseng: Or a, dash in… In Tableau.
242 00:25:29.560 ⇒ 00:25:33.980 Robert Tseng: Yeah, and then there’s gonna be, like, a separate ticket here.
243 00:25:34.350 ⇒ 00:25:39.139 Robert Tseng: Like, I’m just… I’m, like, going through this exercise, so you can just do it yourself next time.
244 00:25:39.140 ⇒ 00:25:39.630 Sezim Zhenishbekova: Yeah.
245 00:25:39.630 ⇒ 00:25:43.170 Robert Tseng: Yeah, I think that’s how I would prefer just to go.
246 00:25:43.380 ⇒ 00:25:46.460 Robert Tseng: See, like, I don’t… I don’t even do this that often.
247 00:25:47.920 ⇒ 00:25:54.589 Robert Tseng: I’m just gonna do a separate ticket, and it’s gonna be, like, build Jonah’s, like, Excel spreadsheet, or…
248 00:25:54.960 ⇒ 00:25:58.150 Robert Tseng: spreadsheet, like, what a model in Tableau.
249 00:25:58.590 ⇒ 00:26:02.040 Robert Tseng: And this is gonna be assigned to you…
250 00:26:02.970 ⇒ 00:26:07.929 Robert Tseng: I will say this is probably due…
251 00:26:08.150 ⇒ 00:26:13.870 Robert Tseng: I’m just gonna put Tuesday, because we’re not really gonna submit anything by tomorrow, or… yeah.
252 00:26:14.720 ⇒ 00:26:21.500 Robert Tseng: And, and I’ll shift that to tickets.
253 00:26:22.130 ⇒ 00:26:36.630 Robert Tseng: Okay, so, but this one will actually be done, and is this, is this accurate? This is a 5-point… it took you 5 points, like, it took you 5 hours to redesign this? I guess I understand you have to, like, look into it. Yeah. So basically.
254 00:26:36.640 ⇒ 00:26:39.900 Sezim Zhenishbekova: I don’t know how point system works, to be honest, because Henry.
255 00:26:39.900 ⇒ 00:26:40.869 Robert Tseng: For us, it’s like…
256 00:26:40.870 ⇒ 00:26:42.569 Sezim Zhenishbekova: And then this is just…
257 00:26:42.950 ⇒ 00:26:50.519 Sezim Zhenishbekova: Yeah, he just, like, oh, okay, I didn’t know about that. So basically, he just assigned it and assigned the hours, so for me, I’m still, like.
258 00:26:50.670 ⇒ 00:26:54.269 Sezim Zhenishbekova: Trying to… That’s where the data is.
259 00:26:54.800 ⇒ 00:27:07.519 Robert Tseng: Okay, if you’re blocked, like, yeah, I mean, I see you tagged Henry in the Eden channel. I mean, Demilade can help you with navigating anything in Tableau and Awash, so I would tag Awash and Demilade, yeah, so…
260 00:27:07.520 ⇒ 00:27:07.900 Sezim Zhenishbekova: Okay.
261 00:27:07.900 ⇒ 00:27:20.520 Robert Tseng: Yeah, I understand that, like, Henry was the one that kind of got you started there. You know, I apologize on his behalf that the tickets were not clear. He didn’t really kind of give you enough direction to help you get through to this point.
262 00:27:20.660 ⇒ 00:27:25.410 Robert Tseng: But yeah, I guess, like, we kind of operate as, like, a if you get stuck, just kind.
263 00:27:25.410 ⇒ 00:27:26.250 Sezim Zhenishbekova: Yeah.
264 00:27:26.250 ⇒ 00:27:27.100 Robert Tseng: Call for help.
265 00:27:27.100 ⇒ 00:27:28.250 Sezim Zhenishbekova: I was responding.
266 00:27:28.250 ⇒ 00:27:35.330 Robert Tseng: help out. Yeah, so it’s okay, like, I, you know, just, we’ll… you’ll, you’ll get, you’ll get a feel for it.
267 00:27:35.620 ⇒ 00:27:44.700 Robert Tseng: Yeah, because, you know, Jonah and the rest of the leadership team, they’re on an off-site this week. It’s fine, it’s a quieter week.
268 00:27:44.700 ⇒ 00:27:45.170 Sezim Zhenishbekova: Yeah.
269 00:27:45.170 ⇒ 00:27:48.050 Robert Tseng: Everyone’s, like, gonna be yelling down our backs, but, like.
270 00:27:48.750 ⇒ 00:28:07.970 Robert Tseng: you know, maybe next week they come back, they’re gonna wanna… they’re gonna wanna know, like, how things are going. So, I just want us to… to make sure… like, I’m getting ahead of, like, I know how Jonah is. He is a CFO, ex-I banker. Once he’s thinking about something, he will… he will act… he will ask you over and over again. You may even ask.
271 00:28:07.970 ⇒ 00:28:08.440 Sezim Zhenishbekova: That’s your phone.
272 00:28:08.440 ⇒ 00:28:20.939 Robert Tseng: number, and he will call you. And so, like, I do not want any of those things to happen, which is why we kind of, you know, he kind of is okay with us running things this way, and I just, you know, want, want to insulate our team from that.
273 00:28:20.940 ⇒ 00:28:27.270 Sezim Zhenishbekova: And Avash, I will tell you then, if you have time today, it would be lovely if you could take a look at it.
274 00:28:27.950 ⇒ 00:28:29.790 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, just let me know in Slack.
275 00:28:30.140 ⇒ 00:28:30.690 Sezim Zhenishbekova: Yes.
276 00:28:30.950 ⇒ 00:28:31.500 Sezim Zhenishbekova: Interesting.
277 00:28:31.500 ⇒ 00:28:32.060 Robert Tseng: Okay.
278 00:28:32.280 ⇒ 00:28:48.859 Robert Tseng: Great, yeah, and then ultimately, like, says, and like, you know, he’s gonna be one of your main stakeholders. Like, ideally, like, he likes the work that you did, then he’ll give you something more, and, like, I, you know, I do… our team has not been able to support him for a while, because we haven’t had anybody with, like, finance
279 00:28:48.910 ⇒ 00:28:55.069 Robert Tseng: kind of background, so I’m sure, you know, the projects that he wants to work on are interesting, like.
280 00:28:55.210 ⇒ 00:29:13.949 Robert Tseng: he… he did due diligence for a new pharmacy that they opened early this week, or earlier this year, and there’s, like, you know, this is kind of like, you know, you’re… you’re trying to build that relationship with him so that he trusts you and wants to assign you more work. So, I think that’s kind of, like, how… how this kind of relationship with the clients work, like.
281 00:29:14.070 ⇒ 00:29:25.819 Robert Tseng: we get your foot in the door, but then, like, through your work, you’re able to kind of just build the relationship. So, I’m… obviously, I’m here to help you as you kind of grow that relationship with him.
