29 00:02:44.380 ⇒ 00:02:45.290 Uttam Kumaran: Alright.
30 00:02:45.640 ⇒ 00:02:47.060 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, nothing too crazy.
31 00:02:48.460 ⇒ 00:02:49.450 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
32 00:02:49.450 ⇒ 00:02:52.285 Uttam Kumaran: That last week was really productive, and Friday
33 00:02:53.290 ⇒ 00:02:57.980 Uttam Kumaran: Friday was was really good. We had a couple of sales meetings that went really well, and
34 00:03:00.400 ⇒ 00:03:03.629 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, stuff is looking better on the sales side.
35 00:03:03.940 ⇒ 00:03:04.430 Nicolas Sucari: Nice.
36 00:03:04.430 ⇒ 00:03:10.649 Uttam Kumaran: I think we’re we’re having these issues with pool parts which I I don’t know. I’m like running out of ideas
37 00:03:10.980 ⇒ 00:03:12.923 Uttam Kumaran: on what to do
38 00:03:15.350 ⇒ 00:03:16.175 Uttam Kumaran: That’s
39 00:03:17.240 ⇒ 00:03:19.080 Uttam Kumaran: like to figure out this week.
40 00:03:20.230 ⇒ 00:03:31.199 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I don’t know. It’s like, it’s like a big issue. I mean, we need someone to be locked in and trying to make progress. Because what’s happened until now is that we have some time
41 00:03:31.841 ⇒ 00:03:34.490 Nicolas Sucari: of different people that we are not like
42 00:03:35.100 ⇒ 00:03:37.900 Nicolas Sucari: getting like, the yeah, I know.
43 00:03:39.950 ⇒ 00:03:43.139 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, they like they, they are spending some time. And then
44 00:03:43.700 ⇒ 00:04:01.400 Nicolas Sucari: yeah, and then leaving. So we’re not making like, probably good progress on the reports and that kind of stuff. I mean the data modeling and that, and that we we are having it. So that’s fine. And we are working towards that we are delivering things to Jack and Kim. We need like more time of
45 00:04:01.730 ⇒ 00:04:08.670 Nicolas Sucari: someone in analysis side and reporting so that we can yeah, develop the dashboards and deliver them right?
46 00:04:09.340 ⇒ 00:04:18.609 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I mean, my only idea is to, because currently, Ryan is only working part time, like on
47 00:04:18.690 ⇒ 00:04:19.970 Uttam Kumaran: on that. Yeah.
48 00:04:20.120 ⇒ 00:04:22.489 Uttam Kumaran: So my only idea is like
49 00:04:22.940 ⇒ 00:04:27.240 Uttam Kumaran: we just have him start to take over some of the stuff on the analysis side.
50 00:04:27.480 ⇒ 00:04:33.500 Uttam Kumaran: since he’s already really familiar with the data model, Ryan isn’t like isn’t amazing
51 00:04:33.920 ⇒ 00:04:35.620 Uttam Kumaran: at the analysis piece.
52 00:04:35.850 ⇒ 00:04:37.520 Uttam Kumaran: But I do think that.
53 00:04:37.570 ⇒ 00:04:40.150 Uttam Kumaran: you know, across Jacob and
54 00:04:41.243 ⇒ 00:04:42.490 Uttam Kumaran: sirage like.
55 00:04:43.040 ⇒ 00:04:47.280 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know I you’re right, is like, I just don’t see the proactivity and.
56 00:04:47.280 ⇒ 00:04:48.020 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
57 00:04:48.200 ⇒ 00:04:49.280 Uttam Kumaran: Also like.
58 00:04:49.810 ⇒ 00:04:55.509 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know, I think, because fundamentally, they’re non technical. It’s causing a lot of challenges.
59 00:04:56.862 ⇒ 00:04:58.420 Uttam Kumaran: So I don’t know. I mean, like.
60 00:04:59.200 ⇒ 00:05:05.430 Nicolas Sucari: Maybe we can. Yeah, I can work with Ryan a little bit more close on that part.
61 00:05:05.610 ⇒ 00:05:08.430 Nicolas Sucari: Let him handle everything on the
62 00:05:08.500 ⇒ 00:05:14.440 Nicolas Sucari: on developing the dashboards, and and that because he knows the models. But I can be working with him on.
63 00:05:14.650 ⇒ 00:05:17.980 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I’m trying to make progress on those on those things.
64 00:05:20.240 ⇒ 00:05:22.189 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, and that’s my only other
65 00:05:22.570 ⇒ 00:05:27.320 Uttam Kumaran: kind of idea. Right now. I don’t have any other really great like analysts.
66 00:05:28.327 ⇒ 00:05:29.790 Uttam Kumaran: On the roster
67 00:05:29.990 ⇒ 00:05:32.280 Uttam Kumaran: that I can call at the moment. So
68 00:05:32.380 ⇒ 00:05:37.669 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know. Sirage is going to be online later and base. I I’m basically gonna say, Hey.
69 00:05:37.880 ⇒ 00:05:42.479 Uttam Kumaran: I need to know when it’s been 3 weeks. I need to know when
70 00:05:42.710 ⇒ 00:05:45.269 Uttam Kumaran: these sorts of things are going to be done.
71 00:05:45.520 ⇒ 00:05:46.730 Uttam Kumaran: and
72 00:05:46.910 ⇒ 00:05:50.319 Uttam Kumaran: if not, then we need to cancel like I’m
73 00:05:50.820 ⇒ 00:05:52.609 Uttam Kumaran: I look for me.
74 00:05:52.680 ⇒ 00:05:56.980 Uttam Kumaran: Nico. The one thing I learned in business is, you have these like
75 00:05:57.140 ⇒ 00:06:00.950 Uttam Kumaran: offenses sometimes that things aren’t gonna go well and.
76 00:06:00.950 ⇒ 00:06:01.300 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
77 00:06:01.300 ⇒ 00:06:03.689 Uttam Kumaran: Faster we’re able to identify that
78 00:06:03.720 ⇒ 00:06:05.210 Uttam Kumaran: and take action
79 00:06:05.450 ⇒ 00:06:08.400 Uttam Kumaran: the less money and the less time we waste.
80 00:06:08.610 ⇒ 00:06:09.300 Uttam Kumaran: So that’s.
81 00:06:09.300 ⇒ 00:06:10.299 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, of course.
82 00:06:11.120 ⇒ 00:06:12.519 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, that’s fine.
83 00:06:14.490 ⇒ 00:06:17.969 Uttam Kumaran: For for him. I just want to find out. Look! We’ll give him the opportunity to kind of like.
84 00:06:19.090 ⇒ 00:06:21.490 Uttam Kumaran: Rise up to the occasion
85 00:06:21.530 ⇒ 00:06:23.419 Uttam Kumaran: and see if he can
86 00:06:24.390 ⇒ 00:06:29.440 Uttam Kumaran: see if you can get there. But without without that like promise, I can’t do anything. And
87 00:06:31.780 ⇒ 00:06:34.029 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, it just becomes really difficult. So.
88 00:06:35.130 ⇒ 00:06:41.397 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, yeah, I agree. I agree. And I think that’s the only way like to talk to him and try to see if he can wrap up
89 00:06:41.740 ⇒ 00:06:44.030 Nicolas Sucari: and if not, we all find another way.
90 00:06:44.260 ⇒ 00:06:44.830 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
91 00:06:46.820 ⇒ 00:06:49.040 Nicolas Sucari: Exactly okay.
92 00:06:50.536 ⇒ 00:06:54.280 Nicolas Sucari: And something I want to ask you is about
93 00:06:54.460 ⇒ 00:06:59.020 Nicolas Sucari: on Friday you sent me that screenshot of from Ben, saying that they are having like
94 00:06:59.030 ⇒ 00:07:00.640 Nicolas Sucari: issues with Unis
95 00:07:01.148 ⇒ 00:07:09.750 Nicolas Sucari: is something that we need to be like working on with them or trying to to understand what’s going on there, or is just
96 00:07:09.980 ⇒ 00:07:12.270 Nicolas Sucari: stuff that Eunice has to solve with
97 00:07:12.460 ⇒ 00:07:13.640 Nicolas Sucari: with ballparks.
98 00:07:14.120 ⇒ 00:07:16.220 Uttam Kumaran: Think it’s just stuff that they have to solve.
99 00:07:16.260 ⇒ 00:07:19.700 Uttam Kumaran: I’m gonna just keep making sure you’re included on anything. But
100 00:07:19.810 ⇒ 00:07:24.790 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, the only thing that I got in today was I got. I got one of the wise reports from them.
101 00:07:24.980 ⇒ 00:07:25.550 Uttam Kumaran: but.
102 00:07:25.550 ⇒ 00:07:25.960 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
103 00:07:25.960 ⇒ 00:07:29.970 Uttam Kumaran: To you? Hopefully, we can check that. That has all the data we need.
104 00:07:32.780 ⇒ 00:07:35.849 Nicolas Sucari: Okay, yeah, yeah, I’m gonna look at that file
105 00:07:36.150 ⇒ 00:07:38.570 Nicolas Sucari: and trying to see if we are getting
106 00:07:38.920 ⇒ 00:07:44.829 Nicolas Sucari: the orders. I I can see that we are getting some from Roanoke and 2 from Alessandra. So
107 00:07:44.960 ⇒ 00:07:49.359 Nicolas Sucari: maybe we are getting now the California, the California and Texas
108 00:07:50.370 ⇒ 00:08:03.149 Nicolas Sucari: warehouse stuff, and we will try to include that. But apart from that, I mean I know that there have been issues with rates, or I don’t know other stuff there, like, we are okay, not being involved in anything. Right?
109 00:08:03.150 ⇒ 00:08:04.149 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, that’s fine.
110 00:08:04.840 ⇒ 00:08:05.430 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
111 00:08:05.600 ⇒ 00:08:06.360 Nicolas Sucari: perfect.

117 00:08:20.840 ⇒ 00:08:23.099 Uttam Kumaran: and so start working on.
118 00:08:26.250 ⇒ 00:08:28.609 Nicolas Sucari: You’re you’re cutting off, David.
119 00:08:29.590 ⇒ 00:08:30.780 Uttam Kumaran: You hear me now.
120 00:08:32.070 ⇒ 00:08:32.870 Nicolas Sucari: Yes.
121 00:08:33.559 ⇒ 00:08:35.109 Uttam Kumaran: I said. If if
122 00:08:35.479 ⇒ 00:08:36.164 Uttam Kumaran: if
123 00:08:36.999 ⇒ 00:08:41.929 Uttam Kumaran: let’s try to, let’s see if we can get Ryan to start helping out on some of the analysis side.
124 00:08:41.959 ⇒ 00:08:43.219 Uttam Kumaran: especially
125 00:08:43.379 ⇒ 00:08:45.659 Uttam Kumaran: the open questions from Kim.
126 00:08:47.039 ⇒ 00:08:53.099 Uttam Kumaran: And yeah, this is from the warehouse, right? So I’m gonna I’m gonna talk to Siraj today. And basically so
127 00:08:54.219 ⇒ 00:08:56.219 Uttam Kumaran: live that mess of things.
128 00:08:57.289 ⇒ 00:09:06.189 Uttam Kumaran: The biggest thing I I pushed him to say was like, if there’s anything angry and you don’t understand, you have to tell us right? And
129 00:09:06.209 ⇒ 00:09:08.779 Uttam Kumaran: I made myself very, very clear. So
130 00:09:08.889 ⇒ 00:09:10.519 Uttam Kumaran: I’m gonna basically say, like.
131 00:09:10.729 ⇒ 00:09:12.879 Uttam Kumaran: when are these things going to be done?
132 00:09:13.179 ⇒ 00:09:14.019 Uttam Kumaran: And.
133 00:09:14.020 ⇒ 00:09:14.680 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
134 00:09:15.040 ⇒ 00:09:22.290 Uttam Kumaran: Like, well, that that’s the conversation we’re gonna have. I wanna try to start Ryan to work on some of that stuff.
135 00:09:22.300 ⇒ 00:09:25.490 Uttam Kumaran: and then I’ll have that conversation with them about what’s going on
136 00:09:25.990 ⇒ 00:09:26.930 Uttam Kumaran: right.
137 00:09:27.120 ⇒ 00:09:29.149 Uttam Kumaran: If they just interchange, then
138 00:09:29.680 ⇒ 00:09:31.009 Uttam Kumaran: we can keep going.
139 00:09:31.380 ⇒ 00:09:34.459 Uttam Kumaran: You can just extend Ryan’s hours to kind of take over that.
140 00:09:35.740 ⇒ 00:09:37.930 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, okay, that’s fine.
141 00:09:37.980 ⇒ 00:09:42.229 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah. I mean, I I’m expecting Sirash to let us know what we need to
142 00:09:42.310 ⇒ 00:09:50.179 Nicolas Sucari: like, what would change on how we are making the reports for Kim and and check how to order that. What’s gonna be like useful for them
143 00:09:50.190 ⇒ 00:09:54.600 Nicolas Sucari: to having one report and not so many. But yeah, I think if
144 00:09:54.630 ⇒ 00:09:58.850 Nicolas Sucari: if he’s not doing that, I I can try to work with Ryan.
145 00:09:59.040 ⇒ 00:10:03.300 Nicolas Sucari: Try to get a proposal, send it to you try to. Yeah.
146 00:10:03.860 ⇒ 00:10:21.990 Nicolas Sucari: validated with Kim and check and see if that works on the shipment side. I think it’s easier. But on the marketing side, as Ryan and me. Probably we don’t have like the yeah marketing expertise. It’s gonna be a little bit difficult, but it’s nothing that we cannot work on. I mean.
147 00:10:21.990 ⇒ 00:10:35.939 Nicolas Sucari: I I can start investigating trying to ask Claude or any other AI tool to see what are like the best measures. They mentions, Kpis, that we need to show and try to get something done and validate with Kim.
148 00:10:36.260 ⇒ 00:10:37.290 Uttam Kumaran: Okay. Okay.
149 00:10:39.553 ⇒ 00:10:40.679 Nicolas Sucari: But yeah.
150 00:10:41.370 ⇒ 00:10:45.359 Nicolas Sucari: apart from that, I don’t think we have. Like so many other things open.
151 00:10:45.420 ⇒ 00:10:51.190 Nicolas Sucari: we need to make sure that we are getting the Uni staff there and trying. I try to start working on
152 00:10:51.875 ⇒ 00:10:57.050 Nicolas Sucari: understanding the different information that we have from the warehouses so that we can compare.
153 00:10:57.060 ⇒ 00:11:00.450 Nicolas Sucari: And yeah, make some data available for Chuck
154 00:11:00.550 ⇒ 00:11:05.370 Nicolas Sucari: to start seeing like how they are performing. But apart from that, I think we are, we are okay.
155 00:11:05.810 ⇒ 00:11:06.540 Nicolas Sucari: And now.
156 00:11:08.600 ⇒ 00:11:10.950 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, perfect. Yeah, I think the other stuff
157 00:11:11.310 ⇒ 00:11:12.720 Uttam Kumaran: this week is
158 00:11:12.760 ⇒ 00:11:14.880 Uttam Kumaran: looks like, so I’m I have like
159 00:11:15.090 ⇒ 00:11:18.339 Uttam Kumaran: a few people that I’m interviewing for website work.
160 00:11:18.600 ⇒ 00:11:19.770 Uttam Kumaran: Okay?

166 00:11:35.099 ⇒ 00:11:35.780 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
167 00:11:35.960 ⇒ 00:11:37.579 Uttam Kumaran: I have to figure it out
168 00:11:37.620 ⇒ 00:11:41.069 Uttam Kumaran: like, yeah, if he’s available or not. Basically. So.
169 00:11:43.972 ⇒ 00:11:48.150 Nicolas Sucari: And what about the proposal from amit.
170 00:11:49.415 ⇒ 00:11:51.460 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I mean, I think you may have.
171 00:11:51.683 ⇒ 00:11:52.130 Nicolas Sucari: Go ahead.
172 00:11:52.470 ⇒ 00:11:53.809 Uttam Kumaran: It’s really expensive.
173 00:11:54.230 ⇒ 00:12:00.789 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, yeah, I was checking that. It’s I think it’s expensive for the work. Maybe that we need to do.
174 00:12:02.450 ⇒ 00:12:03.389 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, it’s like.
175 00:12:03.970 ⇒ 00:12:06.400 Uttam Kumaran: it’s like 20 grand or something like.
176 00:12:07.000 ⇒ 00:12:09.569 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, 28 grand. I think it was.
177 00:12:09.570 ⇒ 00:12:10.790 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so
178 00:12:11.190 ⇒ 00:12:12.150 Uttam Kumaran: I
179 00:12:12.710 ⇒ 00:12:21.740 Uttam Kumaran: that I’m basically gonna find out like what part? Yeah, I mean, I’m gonna talk for his project with us. It seemed like a much larger thing.
180 00:12:22.770 ⇒ 00:12:23.849 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, but
181 00:12:25.080 ⇒ 00:12:28.970 Nicolas Sucari: I I’ve been checking like the details, and like there are.
182 00:12:28.970 ⇒ 00:12:29.600 Uttam Kumaran: Yes.
183 00:12:30.480 ⇒ 00:12:45.710 Nicolas Sucari: No, yeah, the obviously, there’s not much details. I was just checking like on the different processes and the hours that he was like estimating for each part of the process. And like, he’s estimating like a hundred 80 h on design. And we have, like almost everything designed. Now, yeah.
184 00:12:45.710 ⇒ 00:12:46.170 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
185 00:12:46.170 ⇒ 00:12:50.229 Nicolas Sucari: Like, maybe we can reduce a lot like that those
186 00:12:50.718 ⇒ 00:12:56.999 Nicolas Sucari: hours, and we can work on something. But yeah, I mean, we, we need to discuss. If.
187 00:12:57.320 ⇒ 00:13:04.179 Nicolas Sucari: yeah, if he was, gonna be like, okay, if we reduce the hours and just like be super specific on what we need.
188 00:13:04.510 ⇒ 00:13:07.110 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, yeah, I also told him, is like, Look.
189 00:13:07.470 ⇒ 00:13:10.469 Uttam Kumaran: I think we have people that can do the designs.
190 00:13:10.560 ⇒ 00:13:12.379 Uttam Kumaran: We have people that can do the building
191 00:13:12.540 ⇒ 00:13:16.340 Uttam Kumaran: right? I like Jp. Can build. There’s a couple other people.
192 00:13:16.700 ⇒ 00:13:22.279 Uttam Kumaran: I said. Can you mainly just work on the design? So let’s see, I mean. It may come out too expensive
193 00:13:22.430 ⇒ 00:13:23.490 Uttam Kumaran: either way. It’s
194 00:13:23.900 ⇒ 00:13:27.469 Uttam Kumaran: I was wanted to kind of see what someone like that would propose.
195 00:13:27.760 ⇒ 00:13:31.169 Uttam Kumaran: you know, cause I’m getting people in people in the Us. I’m getting like
196 00:13:31.610 ⇒ 00:13:34.509 Uttam Kumaran: any like people are charging like, I don’t know
197 00:13:34.720 ⇒ 00:13:37.110 Uttam Kumaran: 500 to a thousand dollars per page.
198 00:13:40.230 ⇒ 00:13:48.240 Uttam Kumaran: so that’s what I’m trying to figure out like, how do we get that lower? But let’s see, I mean, Jp. Messaged me yesterday, and he’s like you finished a couple of things
199 00:13:48.270 ⇒ 00:13:51.529 Uttam Kumaran: that we need to review and give them feedback on. So
200 00:13:51.620 ⇒ 00:13:56.179 Uttam Kumaran: I’ll review those today and then kind of just check. And then I have 2 other people that are like
201 00:13:56.580 ⇒ 00:13:58.799 Uttam Kumaran: sort of doing a trial this week.
202 00:13:59.180 ⇒ 00:14:01.090 Uttam Kumaran: They should be done by Wednesday.
203 00:14:01.450 ⇒ 00:14:04.019 Uttam Kumaran: so I I think I may
204 00:14:04.120 ⇒ 00:14:06.130 Uttam Kumaran: try to bring on 2 people.
205 00:14:06.270 ⇒ 00:14:09.760 Uttam Kumaran: So they work together on the designs and then building
206 00:14:09.970 ⇒ 00:14:11.960 Uttam Kumaran: that way, we have some overlap.
207 00:14:12.360 ⇒ 00:14:15.960 Uttam Kumaran: because, yeah, I can’t. I don’t want to get in the position again with Jp.
208 00:14:16.120 ⇒ 00:14:17.030 Uttam Kumaran: where.
209 00:14:17.690 ⇒ 00:14:19.680 Uttam Kumaran: like, he’s just not available.
210 00:14:20.130 ⇒ 00:14:21.220 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
211 00:14:22.120 ⇒ 00:14:27.940 Uttam Kumaran: So I’m still gonna kind of continue with that. That’s that on that side. There should be.
212 00:14:28.010 ⇒ 00:14:31.790 Uttam Kumaran: I’m going to follow up again with the team on rail ideally
213 00:14:31.800 ⇒ 00:14:34.019 Uttam Kumaran: like I can kind of get Patrick
214 00:14:34.080 ⇒ 00:14:36.090 Uttam Kumaran: involved there and introduced
215 00:14:37.650 ⇒ 00:14:40.590 Uttam Kumaran: you know, because I think they’re gonna most likely bring us in
216 00:14:40.680 ⇒ 00:14:44.750 Uttam Kumaran: to help with some of the clients, so that should continue
217 00:14:45.120 ⇒ 00:14:45.550 Nicolas Sucari: Perfect.
218 00:14:45.550 ⇒ 00:14:46.230 Uttam Kumaran: The the cost.
219 00:14:46.230 ⇒ 00:14:47.880 Nicolas Sucari: What about you? Yeah.
220 00:14:47.880 ⇒ 00:14:50.090 Uttam Kumaran: Coffee deal. Looks like it’s gonna go through but
221 00:14:50.130 ⇒ 00:14:52.510 Uttam Kumaran: haven’t heard back from Robert yet on
222 00:14:52.750 ⇒ 00:14:55.720 Uttam Kumaran: when. So I’ll follow up today
223 00:14:55.760 ⇒ 00:14:58.159 Uttam Kumaran: on like when the start date would be and
224 00:14:58.280 ⇒ 00:15:00.100 Uttam Kumaran: decide a contract and everything.
225 00:15:02.180 ⇒ 00:15:04.160 Uttam Kumaran: so let’s do that. And then.
226 00:15:06.350 ⇒ 00:15:09.219 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, I think the biggest thing for me is, if you can.
227 00:15:09.330 ⇒ 00:15:12.229 Uttam Kumaran: if we can figure out like the small parts.
228 00:15:12.610 ⇒ 00:15:13.180 Uttam Kumaran: thank God.
229 00:15:13.180 ⇒ 00:15:13.950 Nicolas Sucari: Yes.
230 00:15:15.300 ⇒ 00:15:18.159 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, yeah, we need to figure that out. Yeah, of course.
231 00:15:19.420 ⇒ 00:15:23.029 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, like I can, I could try and interview for more analysts. But
232 00:15:23.080 ⇒ 00:15:25.949 Uttam Kumaran: it’s tough. I think, like everybody’s really, really
233 00:15:26.130 ⇒ 00:15:27.990 Uttam Kumaran: having a challenging time.
234 00:15:28.250 ⇒ 00:15:31.990 Uttam Kumaran: and I don’t have any like really super amazing people. So.
235 00:15:32.810 ⇒ 00:15:38.050 Nicolas Sucari: And what if you thought about bringing Jacob back in.
236 00:15:39.460 ⇒ 00:15:44.699 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I mean, like this, it’s just the same thing is like, there’s there was no proactivity.
237 00:15:45.310 ⇒ 00:15:45.950 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, yeah.
238 00:15:45.950 ⇒ 00:15:51.409 Uttam Kumaran: Like, I just we like, I can’t. I don’t want to hire people that like that anymore, where we’re just waiting.
239 00:15:51.410 ⇒ 00:15:52.130 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, yeah.
240 00:15:52.130 ⇒ 00:15:54.989 Uttam Kumaran: Like, I really need people that have some.
241 00:15:55.070 ⇒ 00:15:58.059 Uttam Kumaran: And I don’t know. I thought about this a lot over the past month is like.
242 00:15:58.270 ⇒ 00:16:00.560 Uttam Kumaran: I just want to have folks on the team that
243 00:16:00.610 ⇒ 00:16:08.619 Uttam Kumaran: you know or really like have that same energy. And the nice thing about Ryan, is he? He is proactive, and he wants to kind of like, go do that. So
244 00:16:09.550 ⇒ 00:16:10.569 Uttam Kumaran: let’s see.
245 00:16:11.530 ⇒ 00:16:13.599 Uttam Kumaran: You know, we can work with what we have so.
246 00:16:17.630 ⇒ 00:16:18.540 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, okay.
