8 00:17:09.680 ⇒ 00:17:14.909 Uttam Kumaran: For a client sales call. But just like looking through
9 00:17:16.980 ⇒ 00:17:19.517 Uttam Kumaran: kind of like to do today.
10 00:17:21.540 ⇒ 00:17:22.319 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, I think the.
11 00:17:22.329 ⇒ 00:17:23.289 Nicolas Sucari: I mean.
12 00:17:23.920 ⇒ 00:17:24.750 Uttam Kumaran: Go ahead!
13 00:17:24.750 ⇒ 00:17:44.219 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I I emailed Jane Riley or Jenny. I don’t know. How is it called to ask for post pilot. What I’ve been checking is that that when I go to into post pilot and see the campaigns we are receiving like revenue something. But in the overview file we’re not getting them. So I just like mentioned that.
14 00:17:44.583 ⇒ 00:17:59.906 Nicolas Sucari: So let’s see what she answers. And I also talked to Ryan and ask him if he can start working on the customer acquisition cost. We set a due date for tomorrow, but we will need to wait until what Janet tell us.
15 00:18:00.576 ⇒ 00:18:04.693 Nicolas Sucari: But I. I already asked him to start working on Google and Facebook
16 00:18:05.020 ⇒ 00:18:11.940 Nicolas Sucari: to start calculating that because what we are talking about post policy is just direct direct mail campaigns. I think right.
17 00:18:12.250 ⇒ 00:18:13.480 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
18 00:18:13.680 ⇒ 00:18:34.530 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, perfect. So yeah. So that’s that’s done and with Jacob. I I asked him to give me a due date for the real dashboard. He didn’t answer, but I said the due date for tomorrow. I asked him like to have something ready for tomorrow, so like a 1st version or a 1st draft, so that we can start seeing something.
19 00:18:34.821 ⇒ 00:18:45.039 Nicolas Sucari: Yesterday I met with Ryan, and he showed me how to run real locally, I mean, I I went through the documentation or real documentation. It was pretty easy. I just had one
20 00:18:45.040 ⇒ 00:19:09.690 Nicolas Sucari: issue with the variables, but I I could manage to to do it so I can run real locally. I I know how to work now with the real AI to create a dashboard super easy, and it’s great. So yeah, I’m I’m I’m gonna try to talk to Jacob and see how he’s doing with that. And and if not, if he’s not managing to create a dashboard. I will show him how to run it locally and create something from one of the data sources.
21 00:19:10.077 ⇒ 00:19:21.549 Nicolas Sucari: And yeah. And then I think we should talk to Nick right, because Nick was kind of off the grid all week. I don’t know if he was working this week any of
22 00:19:21.690 ⇒ 00:19:32.029 Nicolas Sucari: the days of this week. I already. I I sent like that message on Tuesday, after talking to Robert, and I don’t think we have.
23 00:19:32.120 ⇒ 00:19:34.160 Nicolas Sucari: We had an answer right?
24 00:19:34.610 ⇒ 00:19:35.603 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I’ll
25 00:19:37.160 ⇒ 00:19:40.720 Uttam Kumaran: I can text him and just make sure every when he’s gonna be back.
26 00:19:41.490 ⇒ 00:19:42.240 Nicolas Sucari: Okay?
27 00:19:44.090 ⇒ 00:19:48.129 Nicolas Sucari: And yeah, today, I’m gonna meet with Chuck and
28 00:19:48.532 ⇒ 00:19:54.169 Nicolas Sucari: Kim, I think with Kim, I’m gonna mention this from Post Pilot that we are like
29 00:19:54.190 ⇒ 00:19:55.939 Nicolas Sucari: following up on
30 00:19:56.270 ⇒ 00:19:58.110 Nicolas Sucari: what’s going on there.
31 00:19:58.120 ⇒ 00:20:03.440 Nicolas Sucari: and with Jack what I would like to ask Jack if if he can.
32 00:20:03.800 ⇒ 00:20:12.990 Nicolas Sucari: and make like demo presentation to me, or show me how like a complete flow of the process, when we receive an order, is like how
33 00:20:13.150 ⇒ 00:20:26.019 Nicolas Sucari: we receive an order. Where did. Where did it go? How would it gets shipped, how it gets fulfilled! How like all of that! Because he’s talking about this wise platform. That is the units platform. I think. That we don’t have access there. Right? Yeah.
34 00:20:26.660 ⇒ 00:20:28.090 Uttam Kumaran: No, we don’t.
35 00:20:28.370 ⇒ 00:20:48.710 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, so. And and yesterday, when I asked Justine and Michael if if we have like the warehouses set up, they said Yes, but then an order came through for California and it was shipped from Florida. From Jacksonville. So yeah, I’m I’m just waiting until Justine answers. But today, in the meeting with Jack. I will ask him if he can like. Show me
36 00:20:48.710 ⇒ 00:21:08.284 Nicolas Sucari: quickly how like the complete process of when we receive an order. How is this managed right? In which platforms can we check? Because I I am always going to checking, shopify, shopify? I go into there, I see, like the active status. But Jack yesterday told me that it was shipped from Jacksonville, I and I was not able to see that
37 00:21:08.840 ⇒ 00:21:19.240 Nicolas Sucari: because he he went to the wise platform, and we don’t have access there. So I’m gonna ask him. Just like to show me like every step of the way, so that I can understand a little bit more of that process.
38 00:21:19.790 ⇒ 00:21:23.086 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, if you record that, and then you have that too. That’s perfect.
39 00:21:23.340 ⇒ 00:21:24.160 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, cool.
40 00:21:24.570 ⇒ 00:21:34.699 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, it’s just a lot going on. So make sure you keep like a list. I’m I’m kind of pushing on the calendar stuff to get done. And then I’m gonna start to use
41 00:21:35.203 ⇒ 00:21:50.137 Uttam Kumaran: I’m gonna try to use their time on some stuff for sales and then I’m gonna plan on having a conversation with Jacob tomorrow. On the sirage thing and kind of think about like a transition.
42 00:21:50.940 ⇒ 00:21:56.470 Uttam Kumaran: So I need to kind of plan it out. Today, I have like a today and tomorrow I have, like a bunch of
43 00:21:57.890 ⇒ 00:22:04.120 Uttam Kumaran: of sales calls. But so but then, middle of the day. I’m pretty free. I’m just gonna be writing and preparing some stuff.
44 00:22:04.830 ⇒ 00:22:13.300 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, don’t worry. I mean, I’m I’m gonna be following up with all of these tasks and issues. And yeah, if if you need to talk. Let me know I’m I’m available. Okay.
45 00:22:13.300 ⇒ 00:22:20.420 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, yeah. I think Ben’s aware that you’re working on stuff. So like, I haven’t been getting any messages or anything. So that’s been, that’s been good.
46 00:22:20.420 ⇒ 00:22:41.389 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I mean, I know. But we’re not getting like so much face time with them. So I want to show them that we’re actually working. And we need to leave our staff. And if you want to show them that I mean, the only 2 ways that we have is evidence on real right now, and just like setting up the warehouses, getting everything working. So yeah, I want to try to get something. To show them.
47 00:22:41.780 ⇒ 00:22:44.539 Uttam Kumaran: Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Perfect.
48 00:22:44.540 ⇒ 00:23:01.690 Nicolas Sucari: And I, I have. Yeah, I have like a lot of ideas on dashboards that we can start working on like comparison between warehouses. How the shipping costs can go down because of the new warehouse. But I don’t know if we want to wait for us, Raj, or
49 00:23:01.710 ⇒ 00:23:04.830 Nicolas Sucari: yeah, just start like I don’t know. Work on that one. I can.
50 00:23:04.980 ⇒ 00:23:09.349 Uttam Kumaran: Just plan it out, and then we can fill the backlog with that sort of stuff.
51 00:23:09.861 ⇒ 00:23:17.588 Uttam Kumaran: And and let me figure out this garage thing. I don’t know how early I can get a start date. So let’s see,
52 00:23:18.620 ⇒ 00:23:27.939 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah. And he said he was, gonna be off. I know. Yeah. Wednesday. Starting Wednesday next week. I think I know. Sorry that was me now. No, that that was me off from automation.
53 00:23:28.080 ⇒ 00:23:33.069 Uttam Kumaran: So then, you know, also on the AI stuff and the website stuff like completely that to me, I I’m handling that.
54 00:23:33.070 ⇒ 00:23:33.890 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
55 00:23:33.890 ⇒ 00:23:34.660 Uttam Kumaran: From there.

57 00:23:38.170 ⇒ 00:23:38.920 Uttam Kumaran: And then hopefully, we.
58 00:23:38.920 ⇒ 00:23:39.810 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
59 00:23:39.810 ⇒ 00:23:43.630 Uttam Kumaran: The the front end thing sometime soon. But okay, great.
60 00:23:43.820 ⇒ 00:23:50.590 Uttam Kumaran: yeah. I think hopefully. If with the addition of sirage like the dashboarding stuff gets a lot better. And
61 00:23:50.910 ⇒ 00:23:52.809 Uttam Kumaran: well, you’ll basically have.
62 00:23:52.910 ⇒ 00:23:56.350 Uttam Kumaran: You’ll basically have Ryan and Patrick for for anything
63 00:23:56.370 ⇒ 00:24:00.319 Uttam Kumaran: else. But I’m gonna have to kind of work on some stuff internally, too. So.
64 00:24:00.880 ⇒ 00:24:01.939 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, that’s great
65 00:24:02.308 ⇒ 00:24:08.080 Nicolas Sucari: and then about interns. I don’t know if you like. If you already gave them some project or anything.
66 00:24:08.340 ⇒ 00:24:14.653 Uttam Kumaran: I did get give them like AI related projects. So again, like they’ll just, they’ll work. They’ll work through me for those
67 00:24:15.010 ⇒ 00:24:20.340 Uttam Kumaran: same. I’m also bringing on another intern. And she’ll just work directly with me on.
68 00:24:20.480 ⇒ 00:24:21.490 Uttam Kumaran: okay, yeah.
69 00:24:21.650 ⇒ 00:24:23.920 Uttam Kumaran: So automate everything automations.
70 00:24:24.020 ⇒ 00:24:26.729 Uttam Kumaran: I’m basically just gonna have everybody work on

72 00:24:33.460 ⇒ 00:24:39.410 Uttam Kumaran: tomorrow or later today, just like we could do it. Maybe a retro like to next week or tomorrow about the week.
73 00:24:40.085 ⇒ 00:24:40.670 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
74 00:24:40.890 ⇒ 00:24:45.010 Uttam Kumaran: But yeah, I think the big thing is like, I wanted these guys to. Maybe
75 00:24:45.210 ⇒ 00:24:49.100 Uttam Kumaran: I’m trying to get some of these engineers to help me with sales stuff, and they’re horrible.
76 00:24:50.790 ⇒ 00:24:53.810 Uttam Kumaran: so it’s like, and they’re so picky.
77 00:24:53.920 ⇒ 00:24:55.839 Uttam Kumaran: So it’s like
78 00:24:56.130 ⇒ 00:25:01.339 Uttam Kumaran: I may just have them continue to work on automating engineering related stuff.
79 00:25:01.830 ⇒ 00:25:06.179 Uttam Kumaran: Cause. I just don’t think they can wrap their head around all these tools.
80 00:25:06.350 ⇒ 00:25:15.030 Uttam Kumaran: even though they want. I’m like, that’s the highest priority. But, like whatever I’ll the nice thing is I have these these 2 guys that are, we’re gonna try for AI stuff.
81 00:25:15.220 ⇒ 00:25:19.179 Uttam Kumaran: And then may I think Miguel seems like he’s really strong.
82 00:25:19.540 ⇒ 00:25:20.210 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
83 00:25:20.360 ⇒ 00:25:21.740 Uttam Kumaran: We’ll see what happens.
