WEBVTT
1 00:41:38.450 ⇒ 00:41:39.790 Uttam Kumaran: Hello, sir.
2 00:41:40.710 ⇒ 00:41:41.880 Brylle Girang: Hello!
3 00:41:42.350 ⇒ 00:41:43.120 Uttam Kumaran: How are you?
4 00:41:43.780 ⇒ 00:41:44.840 Brylle Girang: I’m doing great.
5 00:41:46.310 ⇒ 00:41:49.090 Brylle Girang: Is that the CSO meeting?
6 00:41:49.340 ⇒ 00:41:53.530 Brylle Girang: Yeah, it was a CSO meeting, and then we’re finishing this thing for Leela.
7 00:41:53.760 ⇒ 00:41:56.829 Uttam Kumaran: It took some time, but yeah, how about you?
8 00:41:57.480 ⇒ 00:42:03.969 Brylle Girang: I’m good, I’m good. Just finalizing the stuff that I need to get done today, the SLWs, the…
9 00:42:04.490 ⇒ 00:42:06.660 Brylle Girang: The CTATAS, etc.
10 00:42:07.790 ⇒ 00:42:08.560 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, okay.
11 00:42:08.890 ⇒ 00:42:15.369 Brylle Girang: Okay, so, I just wanted this recurring meeting to be more of a…
12 00:42:15.630 ⇒ 00:42:19.650 Brylle Girang: High-level discussion between the two of us concerning, you know.
13 00:42:20.230 ⇒ 00:42:33.059 Brylle Girang: the long-term, or my long-term… my long-term career here in Brainforge. Yeah. So, I just wanted to kickstart this with, some feedback coming from you.
14 00:42:33.190 ⇒ 00:42:34.360 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
15 00:42:35.270 ⇒ 00:42:37.569 Brylle Girang: Based on the last two weeks. Yeah, yeah.
16 00:42:37.570 ⇒ 00:42:40.200 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I guess…
17 00:42:40.440 ⇒ 00:42:46.600 Uttam Kumaran: like, maybe my question to you is, like, do you have feedback for yourself? And maybe you go first, and then I can go.
18 00:42:46.960 ⇒ 00:42:50.929 Brylle Girang: Oh yeah, definitely. Let me just pull up the…
19 00:42:54.090 ⇒ 00:42:57.150 Brylle Girang: Okay, I think the first thing that…
20 00:42:57.320 ⇒ 00:43:02.830 Brylle Girang: came to my mind, and this is also one of the things that I was thinking about during the weekend is…
21 00:43:02.980 ⇒ 00:43:10.659 Brylle Girang: In the long term, and I’m saying long term, I mean in the next 2 to 3, or 6 months.
22 00:43:11.320 ⇒ 00:43:16.510 Brylle Girang: I want to make sure that I will be able to help out in client-related services.
23 00:43:16.750 ⇒ 00:43:17.370 Uttam Kumaran: Yay.
24 00:43:17.500 ⇒ 00:43:27.020 Brylle Girang: similar to how everyone else in the business is doing that, right? And similar to how… what your vision is for people
25 00:43:27.420 ⇒ 00:43:32.009 Brylle Girang: For 20% of people’s time to dedicate… to be dedicated to…
26 00:43:32.440 ⇒ 00:43:35.890 Brylle Girang: Like, helping the business gain revenue, basically.
27 00:43:35.890 ⇒ 00:43:36.470 Uttam Kumaran: Yes.
28 00:43:37.070 ⇒ 00:43:45.909 Brylle Girang: That’s something that I’m going to push towards in the next few weeks. Second thing is that…
29 00:43:47.530 ⇒ 00:43:49.589 Brylle Girang: I still need to…
30 00:43:50.110 ⇒ 00:43:56.570 Brylle Girang: Immerse myself into the business that we’re doing, especially with how the current state of our clients are.
31 00:43:56.770 ⇒ 00:44:07.319 Brylle Girang: I’m in a lot better state right now compared to 2 weeks ago, where I was completely lost about what we’re doing for our clients, about where we are.
32 00:44:07.440 ⇒ 00:44:11.240 Brylle Girang: at each other, but I think that it’s getting better. Yeah.
33 00:44:11.840 ⇒ 00:44:17.979 Brylle Girang: I think that, in a way, I now understand where we are at, what we’re doing.
34 00:44:18.150 ⇒ 00:44:20.990 Brylle Girang: What’s going to happen in the next few weeks, bud?
35 00:44:21.260 ⇒ 00:44:30.529 Brylle Girang: I want to make sure that I’ll be able to… you know, you can pull me out anytime you ask me anything about the client, and then I’ll be able to answer that.
36 00:44:30.670 ⇒ 00:44:38.139 Brylle Girang: That’s something that I’m trying to work towards. But yeah, that’s it for me, for now.
37 00:44:38.820 ⇒ 00:44:56.839 Uttam Kumaran: Cool. Yeah, I mean, dude, feedback has been, I think, really, really positive. I think, like, one, you came into a really, really tough spot for us, like, in engagement planning, and I think you’ve built… been a really, like, breath of fresh air. I think it’s the clients that you’re involved in are now all running much smoother.
38 00:44:56.930 ⇒ 00:45:12.520 Uttam Kumaran: You know, and I think that was really what… what you were, you know, initial task to do, was just to get up to speed, and I think you’ve… you’ve really done that and more, and I think you’ve kind of set the bar for not only EPs, but, like, dude, like, people who are on clients.
39 00:45:12.570 ⇒ 00:45:25.010 Uttam Kumaran: we’re not doing as much as you have done just in, like, a few weeks, so I think that’s been tremendous, especially given you have no prior, like, you don’t have, like, a broad engineering background in the actual work that we’re doing.
40 00:45:25.010 ⇒ 00:45:35.379 Uttam Kumaran: the part of this is proved, sort of, our model, you know, on the AI side, but I think, ultimately, it’s also shown, like, your passion and your interest that you’ve kind of persevered.
41 00:45:35.410 ⇒ 00:45:36.410 Uttam Kumaran: through…
42 00:45:37.020 ⇒ 00:45:48.299 Uttam Kumaran: sort of, like, how technical and how difficult some of these things were, so that’s been really, really good. I hear you on wanting to get more involved in client work, but I do challenge you to think about your leverage, right?
43 00:45:48.620 ⇒ 00:45:57.220 Uttam Kumaran: like, B’s leverage is on helping everybody else be a better client lead.
44 00:45:57.340 ⇒ 00:46:03.299 Uttam Kumaran: Not on, like, not necessarily on you yourself being, like, the best client lead.
45 00:46:03.410 ⇒ 00:46:15.570 Uttam Kumaran: Does that make sense? Like, you only have 40 hours a week, but if you make one process better for everybody, that one change may impact hundreds and thousands of hours to come.
46 00:46:15.830 ⇒ 00:46:25.470 Uttam Kumaran: Right? And that’s how I want you to think about the time that you’re spending on delivery enablement, in that, like, yes, I do think that, like, you’re clearly showing that you can do
47 00:46:25.500 ⇒ 00:46:38.450 Uttam Kumaran: you can do great stuff for clients, but that’s exactly why I want you to think about, like, your leverage, right? I want you to think about, like, hey, how can I make a change to how delivery happens across the entire delivery team?
48 00:46:38.470 ⇒ 00:46:48.469 Uttam Kumaran: And therefore, you’re going to be able to affect way more than just the 40 hours that you have a week. You may… small changes you’re making are going to affect hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of hours.
49 00:46:48.520 ⇒ 00:47:05.389 Uttam Kumaran: And so that’s… that’s sort of what I would want to challenge you, is to… yes, like, I think you’re going to be able to do work for individual clients, but I’m telling you, if you’re talking about maximizing your impact, it’s going to be on enabling everybody on delivery to do better and be faster and more efficient with their time.
50 00:47:05.490 ⇒ 00:47:12.669 Uttam Kumaran: Right? And that’s why we’re gonna have you… we’re having you start just focusing on EP work, and then moving towards, like.
51 00:47:13.000 ⇒ 00:47:22.110 Uttam Kumaran: basically every single role. And what you’re gonna find is that, you know, you’ve actually taken your 40 hours, and you’ve affected hundreds and hundreds of hours downstream.
52 00:47:24.360 ⇒ 00:47:26.350 Brylle Girang: Gotcha, gotcha.
53 00:47:26.350 ⇒ 00:47:38.159 Uttam Kumaran: Because I’m gonna be able to find more people to do individual ET work or CSO work, but you’re helping us build up, like, the platform, you know? That’s… that is tougher.
54 00:47:38.160 ⇒ 00:47:47.969 Uttam Kumaran: like, if you’re thinking about, like, hey, actually, like, client work is harder, I want to go where the money is, like, dude, the money is actually in the platform enablement work.
55 00:47:48.010 ⇒ 00:47:54.250 Uttam Kumaran: Because that’s what makes everybody come into Brainforge, and you’re a star, just by being at Brainforge, right?
56 00:47:54.250 ⇒ 00:47:54.690 Brylle Girang: Yeah.
57 00:47:54.690 ⇒ 00:48:11.650 Uttam Kumaran: we’re taking people that, like, couldn’t do project management, giving them all the tools to do that, right? Like, that… the platform is actually, like, really the IP and, like, the heart of the company. The client work, yes, it could be sexy at times, but I’m telling you, like.
58 00:48:11.910 ⇒ 00:48:18.509 Uttam Kumaran: That you’re in a lucky spot that you get to just work on, like, delivery enablement stuff, because it’s,
59 00:48:18.720 ⇒ 00:48:23.980 Uttam Kumaran: As soon as you start working on clients here, people get jammed. It takes a long time.
60 00:48:25.390 ⇒ 00:48:27.699 Brylle Girang: Gotcha. That makes.
61 00:48:27.700 ⇒ 00:48:28.630 Uttam Kumaran: Does that make sense?
62 00:48:28.900 ⇒ 00:48:31.750 Brylle Girang: Yes, totally, totally. And I think,
63 00:48:33.240 ⇒ 00:48:38.139 Brylle Girang: It gives more clarity to… to, like, my long term.
64 00:48:39.190 ⇒ 00:48:40.020 Brylle Girang: impact.
65 00:48:40.020 ⇒ 00:48:59.200 Uttam Kumaran: And yeah, and this is where, like, one of my questions, you know, is always gonna be, like, okay, where do you see yourself in a year? I think immediately, kind of where I see us in a year is, like, hey, we’ve gone through every single role, we’ve broken down all the tasks, and now we’re starting to go one role higher, and we’re starting to maybe look at, like, other parts of the company.
66 00:48:59.200 ⇒ 00:49:03.330 Uttam Kumaran: Right? Like, how is marketing using AI? How is operations using it?
67 00:49:03.330 ⇒ 00:49:09.159 Uttam Kumaran: Like, I almost… I’m seeing you as, like, okay, are you just, like, basically coming and, like.
68 00:49:09.160 ⇒ 00:49:21.189 Uttam Kumaran: leading, like, the platform enablement, broadly. Or are you like, hey, actually, delivery… delivery just gets so much busier, maybe we add 5 more services, all your time goes to delivery enablement.
69 00:49:21.200 ⇒ 00:49:25.139 Uttam Kumaran: But again, like, your alpha, dude, is not in the doing the work.
70 00:49:25.180 ⇒ 00:49:29.650 Uttam Kumaran: for clients. Your alpha is in building the systems to do the work for clients.
71 00:49:29.720 ⇒ 00:49:33.430 Uttam Kumaran: Like, that is, like, the real rare opportunity here.
72 00:49:34.340 ⇒ 00:49:36.659 Brylle Girang: Gotcha, gotcha, launching.
73 00:49:37.620 ⇒ 00:49:53.269 Uttam Kumaran: So I don’t want you to lose sight of that, because everybody else is being hired to go do a job for a client. You’re gonna go help every single one of them by building the platform in a way that works for them, you know? And it’s sort of siloed to delivery.
74 00:49:53.280 ⇒ 00:49:58.159 Uttam Kumaran: Just because it’s the most important team, and it’s the most expensive team.
75 00:49:58.160 ⇒ 00:50:02.029 Brylle Girang: Right? But don’t put that as… don’t put that as, like, the ultimate, like.
76 00:50:02.030 ⇒ 00:50:04.100 Uttam Kumaran: I can only be in delivery, like.
77 00:50:04.290 ⇒ 00:50:21.529 Uttam Kumaran: this can emerge into many different areas, but I would say, in what way you’re lucky is that, like, dude, you’re working directly with me and working directly with Clarence on, like, really what is the core intellectual property of the company, which is the platform and the way we deliver work. Ultimately, we’re gonna hire, we’re gonna grow, the company’s gonna grow.
78 00:50:21.850 ⇒ 00:50:26.730 Uttam Kumaran: 50, 60, 70 people, all of those people are going to use what you’re building right now.
79 00:50:31.030 ⇒ 00:50:31.880 Brylle Girang: Gotcha.
80 00:50:32.340 ⇒ 00:50:35.939 Brylle Girang: Stoked. I am super stoked about them.
81 00:50:35.940 ⇒ 00:50:37.719 Uttam Kumaran: Me too, dude. Me too.
82 00:50:37.720 ⇒ 00:50:38.370 Brylle Girang: This is a…
83 00:50:38.370 ⇒ 00:50:41.279 Uttam Kumaran: It’s just a crazy job. I don’t think this job, like…
84 00:50:41.600 ⇒ 00:50:57.400 Uttam Kumaran: like, typically, we would have to be, like, hundreds of people before we bring on this role, but I’m telling you, the reason why, like, we brought you on is because of how high leverage this is. And you can see, like, we’re not just running delivery, we have people that are supporting everybody on delivery, right?
85 00:50:57.400 ⇒ 00:51:16.379 Uttam Kumaran: And that’s how we’re… that’s how we’re enabling every single person. But, like, for someone like you that’s clearly shown an aptitude in thinking and systems, it’s… it would be a shame for you to go just do that for one client. Instead, you’re gonna actually go work on every client by the fact that you’re building the platform for people. Your work will go touch every single client.
86 00:51:19.500 ⇒ 00:51:30.859 Brylle Girang: Oh, this reminds me, so, I’m just going to look back at my previous experience with Athena, with my previous company. So, initially, I was trying to…
87 00:51:31.270 ⇒ 00:51:37.650 Brylle Girang: get into Athena as an executive partner, which basically means servicing one person.
88 00:51:37.880 ⇒ 00:51:46.289 Brylle Girang: And then fate drew me into the helpless position that I was at, which basically means helping
89 00:51:46.500 ⇒ 00:52:01.080 Brylle Girang: more… helping several people at once, 30,000 people. So, I am really reassured that it’s still going to be… I don’t know, it’s sort of a coincidence, and at the same time.
90 00:52:01.310 ⇒ 00:52:05.859 Brylle Girang: Starts off, how do you call that?
91 00:52:06.610 ⇒ 00:52:15.079 Brylle Girang: Mmm… I can’t find the right word, but it’s also, like, sticks my calling.
92 00:52:15.080 ⇒ 00:52:15.690 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
93 00:52:16.630 ⇒ 00:52:19.750 Brylle Girang: Exactly, so I think I’m just…
94 00:52:19.910 ⇒ 00:52:22.420 Brylle Girang: I’m just really going to multiply.
95 00:52:22.540 ⇒ 00:52:23.890 Brylle Girang: everything that I do. Exactly.
96 00:52:24.140 ⇒ 00:52:28.330 Brylle Girang: And that’s going to be my… My… my leverage here.
97 00:52:28.400 ⇒ 00:52:46.560 Uttam Kumaran: But let me also tell you, like, my job here is to help you do that. Like, my only job here is to give you the tools and the access. Like, you know if I go tell someone, take a call with B, they’re gonna take the call with you, right? So, like, that’s how you have to leverage me, but, like, I’m only here to enable you, like, very similarly, like.
98 00:52:46.560 ⇒ 00:52:57.479 Uttam Kumaran: Like, I work for the team. Like, whatever I can do to help the team multiply is what I’m gonna focus on, right? And so you being in this role is what is helping everyone multiply.
99 00:52:57.510 ⇒ 00:52:59.640 Uttam Kumaran: And so, like.
100 00:52:59.740 ⇒ 00:53:10.400 Uttam Kumaran: I think your role is just gonna get more and more important as more and more things… like, our delivery team works for more and more customers, right? Like, what happens when we double our customers, right?
101 00:53:10.620 ⇒ 00:53:14.640 Uttam Kumaran: What happens when 30 or 40 people are using the platform every single day?
102 00:53:14.750 ⇒ 00:53:25.270 Uttam Kumaran: Right? Like, okay, it’s gonna get a little bit more serious, right? So, that’s why I want you to go deep, like, on what EP does, go deep on what CSO does.
103 00:53:25.300 ⇒ 00:53:38.380 Uttam Kumaran: Because it’s just gonna get more and more… everybody’s gonna come in, and they’re gonna wanna kinda, like, use everything you’ve built, like, trust me. And so we want to make sure that at least, like, you’re gonna soon be more of an expert than anybody is in the company on…
104 00:53:38.380 ⇒ 00:53:52.640 Uttam Kumaran: what it is, each of the roles that… right now, it’s, like, me and Clarence, right? So you’re soon gonna be an expert, and then it’s… then you’re gonna come, hey, I think we should go build this, or I think we should buy this, or I notice that this is an issue, or I need a team now, like, that’s how I want you to think.
105 00:53:53.260 ⇒ 00:53:55.170 Brylle Girang: Yeah, okay, gotcha.
106 00:53:55.770 ⇒ 00:53:58.699 Brylle Girang: Okay, how about, how about,
107 00:53:59.480 ⇒ 00:54:04.880 Brylle Girang: What do you want me, based on the past 2 weeks, where do you see me?
108 00:54:05.630 ⇒ 00:54:10.399 Brylle Girang: Like, failing, or where do you see me? Where do you want me to step up more?
109 00:54:12.050 ⇒ 00:54:29.349 Uttam Kumaran: It’s a good question. I mean, like, to be honest, I think you’ve been doing, like, a really, really good job. I think you’ve come prepared. I think you always have a smile on your face. I think you’re also, like, very, very pushy, which is good. Like, not a lot of people in our company are, like, come with action items and want to drive things forward.
110 00:54:29.480 ⇒ 00:54:43.090 Uttam Kumaran: I think, if anything, continue to try to spend time to understand exactly what it is we do for clients. Like, that is gonna give you the most leverage, and that’s unfortunately just what is hard, right? Like…
111 00:54:43.090 ⇒ 00:54:43.620 Brylle Girang: Yeah.
112 00:54:43.700 ⇒ 00:54:49.690 Uttam Kumaran: We do a lot of things for clients, they’re very complicated, they’re very, like, Complex at times.
113 00:54:49.840 ⇒ 00:55:02.579 Uttam Kumaran: You know, and it is data work, but one of the things from your interview that really surprised me was, like, you do know a little bit about, like, Fivetran and data work, right? So, I don’t feel like you’re too far from grasping it.
114 00:55:02.630 ⇒ 00:55:16.210 Uttam Kumaran: But, again, I don’t want you to learn it because I’m gonna ask you to go do it, but I want you to learn it because your platform has to support other people that are doing that work, right? And so you always kind of keep that…
115 00:55:16.470 ⇒ 00:55:18.530 Uttam Kumaran: That in mind, versus, like.
116 00:55:18.880 ⇒ 00:55:27.020 Uttam Kumaran: oh, I’m gonna learn Fivetran, so I can go do Fivetran work. It’s like, no, I’m learning data engineering so that I can empathize with my users more.
117 00:55:27.240 ⇒ 00:55:37.440 Uttam Kumaran: Right? Like, half of our team is data engineers. Okay, what is the work that they do? Okay, they’re writing… they’re writing data injection code. Okay, like, how does my platform support them in doing that, you know?
118 00:55:37.440 ⇒ 00:55:37.970 Brylle Girang: Yeah.
119 00:55:38.380 ⇒ 00:55:45.840 Brylle Girang: Speaking of, this is perfect, because my… the second part of this discussion is really just me.
120 00:55:46.060 ⇒ 00:55:48.100 Brylle Girang: sharing with you that I have
121 00:55:48.130 ⇒ 00:56:06.499 Brylle Girang: started studying data engineering over the weekend, so I’m going to continue this path. I enrolled in a Coursera course, that was the best thing that I can see, that can get me, like, up to speed. And that totally makes sense. I think one of the main things that I was thinking about is
122 00:56:06.910 ⇒ 00:56:14.160 Brylle Girang: For me to be able to, like, help the company, for me to be able to expand by… Impact.
123 00:56:14.390 ⇒ 00:56:23.159 Brylle Girang: outside EPs, I need to make sure that I know what the hell the other people are doing, the engineers, the CSOs, the SLs.
124 00:56:23.270 ⇒ 00:56:30.870 Brylle Girang: And so my question here is that, do you have any recommendations on how… how or where I should start?
125 00:56:31.250 ⇒ 00:56:39.309 Brylle Girang: I am a graduate of electronics engineering, so I have a bit of knowledge about, you know, Python, about SQL, etc, but…
126 00:56:39.630 ⇒ 00:56:42.550 Brylle Girang: Do you have any recommendations? What do you think?
127 00:56:43.950 ⇒ 00:56:49.640 Uttam Kumaran: No, I just think if you learn SQL, honestly, just only, I would say, primarily learn SQL.
128 00:56:49.760 ⇒ 00:56:55.390 Uttam Kumaran: So, there’s a… there’s a Google searched for this company called SQL Zoo.
129 00:56:56.110 ⇒ 00:56:57.760 Uttam Kumaran: And he should just do that.
130 00:56:58.330 ⇒ 00:57:06.640 Uttam Kumaran: Gotcha. And that’ll give you basic, and then as soon as you finish that, call, call Awash and ask him. He’ll, he’ll give you everything you need to learn.
131 00:57:07.090 ⇒ 00:57:07.850 Brylle Girang: Okay.
132 00:57:08.410 ⇒ 00:57:08.870 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
133 00:57:08.870 ⇒ 00:57:09.700 Brylle Girang: Gotcha.
134 00:57:09.960 ⇒ 00:57:19.340 Brylle Girang: But, yeah, so that’s my short-term goal for this year, really, is to make sure that I understand what data and engineering really is.
135 00:57:19.340 ⇒ 00:57:30.759 Uttam Kumaran: But also the AI piece, dude, the AI piece that you’re building, like, is getting more and more valuable, so that’s what I would recommend to you also, is to, like, not lose sight on the fact that what you’re doing is actually very, very technical, like.
136 00:57:30.880 ⇒ 00:57:39.349 Uttam Kumaran: you know, we’re gonna start selling what our internal platform to people, like, building a version of it to people. So, I’m sure you’re gonna be helpful there, too.
137 00:57:40.070 ⇒ 00:57:41.939 Brylle Girang: Yeah, that would be amazing. That would be…
138 00:57:41.940 ⇒ 00:57:55.369 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, we’re starting to, we’re starting to sell it, so… I think, like, as soon as we get a client there, I’m sure I’ll ask for some of your help, but again, like, what I want you to do is think about how you multiply yourself, not how you maximize your time.
139 00:57:55.640 ⇒ 00:58:00.769 Uttam Kumaran: Like, every hour you spend should go affect hundreds of hours downstream.
140 00:58:02.080 ⇒ 00:58:03.309 Brylle Girang: That makes sense.
141 00:58:04.130 ⇒ 00:58:05.160 Brylle Girang: Okay.
142 00:58:05.310 ⇒ 00:58:13.020 Brylle Girang: That’s it for me, but yeah, that covers everything that I want to talk about. This is really…
143 00:58:13.020 ⇒ 00:58:17.750 Uttam Kumaran: Cool, dude, that wasn’t as… that wasn’t that bad. I thought you were gonna… Something else.
144 00:58:17.750 ⇒ 00:58:20.660 Brylle Girang: No, no, no, no, were you nervous?
145 00:58:20.660 ⇒ 00:58:31.570 Uttam Kumaran: No, no, no, I mean, dude, when people always… you know, rarely people put one-on-ones on my calendar that they don’t have, like, some big ask, so usually people ask me for money, or they’re asking me for…
146 00:58:32.030 ⇒ 00:58:42.530 Uttam Kumaran: they’re leaving, or… you know, so sometimes when people say, like, hey, I just… I grabbed time with you, but I’m not gonna tell you until then, and I’m like, don’t tell me, I don’t want surprise… I’m not a big.
147 00:58:42.530 ⇒ 00:58:43.200 Brylle Girang: I’m surprised.
148 00:58:45.250 ⇒ 00:59:01.839 Brylle Girang: One of the main things that really helped me throughout my career is really mentorship, and I want to make sure that, you know, I surround myself with a lot of mentors, that includes you and Clarence in this company, so I’m just going to take advantage.
149 00:59:01.840 ⇒ 00:59:08.750 Brylle Girang: of the time that we have here, to ensure that, you know, I can help the company, you can help me grow. I hope that’s fine.
150 00:59:09.180 ⇒ 00:59:16.509 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. I mean, dude, this is where, like, I told you I’m gonna try to make as much time for you as possible, and I want to spend time because, again.
151 00:59:16.650 ⇒ 00:59:34.350 Uttam Kumaran: if you think about it, like, my hour with you is gonna multiply into 10 of your hours, it’s gonna then turn into hundreds of hours of things you affect, so I’m here for you. Yeah, thank you. And I want to make sure that you’re, you know, you’re pumped and you’re excited, and so, like, tell me how I can be more helpful.
152 00:59:34.510 ⇒ 00:59:39.009 Uttam Kumaran: And you’re gonna see, things will get more organized, and we’ll start doing bigger things, it just takes some time.
153 00:59:39.890 ⇒ 00:59:49.049 Brylle Girang: Yeah, I’m excited. With you sharing how we’re going to, you know, multiply the internal platform, I am stoked. A lot of companies need that, really.
154 00:59:49.880 ⇒ 00:59:51.890 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I appreciate it. I mean, it’s…
155 00:59:52.490 ⇒ 00:59:57.679 Uttam Kumaran: It’s, yeah, we’re trying really, really hard, so… Yeah.
156 00:59:59.500 ⇒ 01:00:03.190 Brylle Girang: Alright, I’m good, I’m good, Otam. Thank you so much for your time.
157 01:00:03.190 ⇒ 01:00:06.119 Uttam Kumaran: Cool. What else do you need? Do you need me to review anything today?
158 01:00:06.360 ⇒ 01:00:19.049 Brylle Girang: Just the Slack, this Slack integration that we were talking about earlier, I just want to get some updates on that, and then the second one is your comments on the Cortex ramp-up memo.
159 01:00:20.460 ⇒ 01:00:22.829 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, okay, okay, okay, right, all right. Cool.
160 01:00:22.830 ⇒ 01:00:26.739 Brylle Girang: And, yeah, I’m going to be sharing with you the SLWs.
161 01:00:26.850 ⇒ 01:00:34.489 Brylle Girang: later, I’m just finishing it up, but I’m going to send an update via our GC for anything.
162 01:00:34.490 ⇒ 01:00:34.810 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
163 01:00:35.990 ⇒ 01:00:36.639 Brylle Girang: Oh, gotcha.
164 01:00:36.640 ⇒ 01:00:37.920 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, perfect.
165 01:00:38.230 ⇒ 01:00:39.240 Brylle Girang: Thank you, man. Bye-bye.
166 01:00:39.240 ⇒ 01:00:41.280 Uttam Kumaran: Thank you, dude. Talk to you soon. Okay, bye.
