23 00:01:44.640 ⇒ 00:02:08.939 Nicolas Sucari: yeah. And everything is I, I think we have, like, we need to work a little bit more in the process. But it’s working and to get our 1st blog post published there and shared on social media is is nice we will keep working on improving every step of the way. But I think we are. Yeah, it’s it’s a. It’s a big step that we took today. And it’s it’s great.
24 00:02:11.610 ⇒ 00:02:15.349 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, it looks like Ryan is gonna be really strong, you know. I’m glad he’s trying.

26 00:02:16.430 ⇒ 00:02:18.350 Uttam Kumaran: I’m glad he’s trying a lot of things.
27 00:02:22.840 ⇒ 00:02:25.909 Nicolas Sucari: Yes, you’re cutting off a little bit. But
28 00:02:25.970 ⇒ 00:02:28.070 Nicolas Sucari: yes, Ryan is working his
29 00:02:28.890 ⇒ 00:02:43.759 Nicolas Sucari: He’s working good. He’s trying a lot of different things, and he’s trying hard and improving copy, creating different stuff. What he did for Instagram and Linkedin, I think it’s really cool. So yeah, I think we are
30 00:02:45.300 ⇒ 00:02:46.929 Nicolas Sucari: like in a good spot.
31 00:02:54.040 ⇒ 00:02:55.110 Nicolas Sucari: Can you hear me?
32 00:05:34.020 ⇒ 00:05:34.740 Nicolas Sucari: Oh.

34 00:05:36.190 ⇒ 00:05:36.850 Uttam Kumaran: Small.
35 00:05:38.710 ⇒ 00:05:39.210 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
36 00:05:40.160 ⇒ 00:05:41.310 Nicolas Sucari: Can you hear me?
37 00:05:41.890 ⇒ 00:05:42.909 Uttam Kumaran: Yes, yes.
38 00:05:43.680 ⇒ 00:05:47.219 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I can hear you now. Okay, yeah. You were cutting off. I don’t know what happened.
39 00:05:47.220 ⇒ 00:05:51.079 Uttam Kumaran: I was just in. I was just in the parking lot. I came for this Google event and.
40 00:05:51.080 ⇒ 00:05:52.170 Nicolas Sucari: Oh, nice!
41 00:05:52.170 ⇒ 00:05:54.880 Uttam Kumaran: I just had to park in this parking lot. But yeah, it was good.
42 00:05:55.403 ⇒ 00:05:59.206 Uttam Kumaran: You know. I don’t know. I I just think there’s some of their tools are
43 00:06:00.040 ⇒ 00:06:01.690 Uttam Kumaran: a little bit
44 00:06:02.740 ⇒ 00:06:04.390 Uttam Kumaran: like half baked
45 00:06:04.430 ⇒ 00:06:07.600 Uttam Kumaran: like if some stuff is very, very early and.
46 00:06:07.600 ⇒ 00:06:08.420 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
47 00:06:08.420 ⇒ 00:06:15.610 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know I was trying to use some of it, but it looks like it’s it’s kind of a battle between them and Facebook and Openai. So
48 00:06:15.910 ⇒ 00:06:17.180 Uttam Kumaran: yeah.
49 00:06:18.500 ⇒ 00:06:19.060 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, I think.
50 00:06:19.060 ⇒ 00:06:22.969 Nicolas Sucari: We are. We are at the point where everyone is trying to
51 00:06:23.050 ⇒ 00:06:26.639 Nicolas Sucari: release the best I don’t know, or like, take a step
52 00:06:27.197 ⇒ 00:06:35.500 Nicolas Sucari: faster than the others. And yeah, it will be war between them. I think that’s good for everyone, because good products will come out of that once.
53 00:06:36.360 ⇒ 00:06:41.764 Uttam Kumaran: Exactly like I was. I was just excited to see the stuff that
54 00:06:42.780 ⇒ 00:06:45.519 Uttam Kumaran: that Ryan got working today, I mean.
55 00:06:45.910 ⇒ 00:06:49.019 Uttam Kumaran: I think patrick’s also working on some infra stuff.
56 00:06:49.140 ⇒ 00:06:53.250 Uttam Kumaran: so I’m glad like so far. Good week. You know.
57 00:06:53.250 ⇒ 00:06:53.850 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
58 00:06:55.000 ⇒ 00:06:55.830 Nicolas Sucari: yeah.
59 00:06:57.840 ⇒ 00:07:04.009 Uttam Kumaran: So I’m just gonna try on my end. I’m gonna try to make sure that we have at least the backlog of like one or 2 blog posts ready to go.
60 00:07:04.220 ⇒ 00:07:17.779 Uttam Kumaran: I think, basically, what I’m gonna try to get to the point of is like what we were doing before, where, like I can record the transcript. Then I think what I’ll do is I’ll hand that to Ryan, and with AI he can kind of write it. I’ll review it, and then it’ll be good to go.
61 00:07:17.990 ⇒ 00:07:28.030 Uttam Kumaran: and you know, if he can handle posting that to Twitter, posting it to Linkedin. And we get on a schedule of at least once or twice a week like that’ll be solid.
62 00:07:30.000 ⇒ 00:07:30.770 Nicolas Sucari: No, I’ll be.
63 00:07:30.770 ⇒ 00:07:32.460 Uttam Kumaran: And then we’re also going to start.
64 00:07:32.520 ⇒ 00:07:35.710 Uttam Kumaran: We’re also, and that’ll be good pressure to kind of get this stuff done.
65 00:07:35.720 ⇒ 00:07:40.250 Uttam Kumaran: And then also, you know, Erickson on the outbound side has been working
66 00:07:40.350 ⇒ 00:07:41.620 Uttam Kumaran: as well. So
67 00:07:41.770 ⇒ 00:07:42.620 Uttam Kumaran: yeah.
68 00:07:43.420 ⇒ 00:07:45.549 Uttam Kumaran: so far, so good this week. Yeah.
69 00:07:46.050 ⇒ 00:07:48.589 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, yeah, perfect.
70 00:07:48.640 ⇒ 00:07:51.039 Nicolas Sucari: And it’s only Tuesday. So we have a lot of the week.
71 00:07:51.040 ⇒ 00:07:52.910 Uttam Kumaran: I know I get scared.
72 00:07:53.340 ⇒ 00:08:01.470 Uttam Kumaran: What’s gonna go wrong. You’re maybe more optimistic. I’m like, like, it’s, I wish it was Friday. We’re having a great week. Let’s just call it.
73 00:08:03.830 ⇒ 00:08:06.619 Nicolas Sucari: I don’t know. Let’s be optimistic. We have a lot of.
74 00:08:06.840 ⇒ 00:08:07.279 Uttam Kumaran: I know.
75 00:08:07.656 ⇒ 00:08:11.799 Nicolas Sucari: More time to work on good stuff. So yeah, that’s fine.
76 00:08:11.800 ⇒ 00:08:17.829 Uttam Kumaran: I’m just glad today went well with with the coffee stuff. I think now that now that this is our like, what
77 00:08:17.840 ⇒ 00:08:20.339 Uttam Kumaran: almost like our 3rd or 4th one. I think
78 00:08:20.420 ⇒ 00:08:25.949 Uttam Kumaran: you know I’m I’m impressed that you’re able to own everything and basically like, see everything through
79 00:08:26.110 ⇒ 00:08:44.659 Uttam Kumaran: again, like the stuff with notion and everything as we just goes to. We just have to understand what certain clients want to see. Right? It’s clear I’m on is really really receptive in slack. And so we can slack him whenever we need to about whatever. And he’s really open. I think the biggest thing with him is he’s just gonna want to see progress.
80 00:08:44.960 ⇒ 00:08:46.060 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, exactly.
81 00:08:46.740 ⇒ 00:08:48.209 Uttam Kumaran: So let’s just keep on.
82 00:08:48.340 ⇒ 00:08:48.800 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
83 00:08:48.800 ⇒ 00:09:07.779 Nicolas Sucari: Brian shared shared a good like all of the process that we’ve been working on all the different things. What we need to do for maybe end of the week is try to share, like the 1st views of some dashboard shopify and Amazon orders, maybe, or something like that so that he can start seeing actual
84 00:09:07.890 ⇒ 00:09:16.439 Nicolas Sucari: stuff on on in real and trying to validate. If the data that we have is okay, and then we can start like moving
85 00:09:16.640 ⇒ 00:09:21.689 Nicolas Sucari: dashboards or creating new specific dashboards from the ones that they have in amplitude.
86 00:09:22.366 ⇒ 00:09:26.769 Nicolas Sucari: That should be our our goal this week to have something real.
87 00:09:27.610 ⇒ 00:09:32.610 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I think. Let’s see, let’s see where he’s at by Thursday, and I think we should be able to get that through.
88 00:09:33.240 ⇒ 00:09:33.620 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I mean.
89 00:09:33.620 ⇒ 00:09:36.369 Uttam Kumaran: I want to try to spend as much time tomorrow and like
90 00:09:36.500 ⇒ 00:09:44.559 Uttam Kumaran: sales on the website, and we can hopefully wrap as much of that off this week. But today I’m gonna go try to finish up the copy and stuff like that
91 00:09:44.590 ⇒ 00:09:46.680 Uttam Kumaran: for about us and pricing.
92 00:09:46.750 ⇒ 00:09:50.390 Uttam Kumaran: And then hopefully, like the website. Work is more of like.
93 00:09:50.450 ⇒ 00:09:55.759 Uttam Kumaran: we can continuously work work on like upgrades. And then we work on like some new services pages.
94 00:09:56.030 ⇒ 00:09:56.700 Uttam Kumaran: But
95 00:09:57.780 ⇒ 00:10:00.670 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, I think we’ll see where he gets to this week, and then
96 00:10:01.350 ⇒ 00:10:10.009 Uttam Kumaran: even you know. Erickson, he actually intro me to another client. So we’re starting to get some more leads coming our way slowly here and there. So it’s been good.
97 00:10:10.890 ⇒ 00:10:12.350 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, that’s great.
98 00:10:12.430 ⇒ 00:10:26.749 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah. The only one that is kind of maybe we are struggling with moving forward is by the cocoa. I think now, meeting yesterday was really good. But today, like, we don’t have any news.
99 00:10:27.070 ⇒ 00:10:32.000 Nicolas Sucari: So maybe we I don’t know if we need like to be really pushy there, or
100 00:10:32.190 ⇒ 00:10:33.210 Nicolas Sucari: I don’t know.
101 00:10:34.730 ⇒ 00:10:38.669 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I don’t know. I I wonder if, like, maybe we should send an email
102 00:10:41.190 ⇒ 00:10:46.090 Uttam Kumaran: like, maybe we maybe what would be nice is, maybe you send an email just recapping what we talked about.
103 00:10:46.300 ⇒ 00:10:48.419 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. And then that way.
104 00:10:49.010 ⇒ 00:10:52.109 Uttam Kumaran: like, look if teams isn’t working when teams isn’t working
105 00:10:52.190 ⇒ 00:10:55.379 Uttam Kumaran: worst case like like, see that? I just don’t. Wanna.
106 00:10:55.750 ⇒ 00:11:00.370 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know. I feel really. I don’t like to text people because it’s kind of like personal. But.
107 00:11:00.370 ⇒ 00:11:00.930 Nicolas Sucari: I will!
108 00:11:00.930 ⇒ 00:11:04.700 Uttam Kumaran: Because I I will, because I don’t. I don’t care. But I also want.
109 00:11:04.700 ⇒ 00:11:05.720 Nicolas Sucari: I can.
110 00:11:06.250 ⇒ 00:11:06.729 Uttam Kumaran: You know what.
111 00:11:06.730 ⇒ 00:11:13.269 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, no, but we can try teams. I mean, I can post a meeting, recap in in teams and see if
112 00:11:13.490 ⇒ 00:11:19.930 Nicolas Sucari: if any answers, and if not, we can send an email. When we posted on
113 00:11:19.980 ⇒ 00:11:22.019 Nicolas Sucari: on teams, he
114 00:11:22.260 ⇒ 00:11:24.169 Nicolas Sucari: he answered. I think
115 00:11:24.270 ⇒ 00:11:26.339 Nicolas Sucari: so. Let’s try doing that.
116 00:11:31.060 ⇒ 00:11:32.229 Nicolas Sucari: You’re on mute.
117 00:11:32.340 ⇒ 00:11:33.569 Nicolas Sucari: If you’re talking.
118 00:11:38.400 ⇒ 00:11:41.359 Uttam Kumaran: Sorry. Yeah, no, that’s that works. Let’s just do that.
119 00:11:42.440 ⇒ 00:11:43.200 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
120 00:11:46.840 ⇒ 00:11:50.140 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. And I think what we’ll do on Friday is.
121 00:11:50.190 ⇒ 00:11:55.890 Uttam Kumaran: I think, starting next week or the week after. We’ll just have everybody like repost the articles and stuff like that.
122 00:11:55.960 ⇒ 00:12:01.119 Uttam Kumaran: The biggest thing is gonna be reach right. But if I think of me, you Ryan.
123 00:12:02.550 ⇒ 00:12:04.950 Uttam Kumaran: and Patrick like repost stuff.
124 00:12:05.090 ⇒ 00:12:06.909 Uttam Kumaran: I think we’ll get really strong.
125 00:12:07.130 ⇒ 00:12:17.069 Uttam Kumaran: and then I think what we’ll do is when when we release the about us about the company. We’ll do a blog that’s more about like about Brain Forge. We can have everybody post
126 00:12:17.120 ⇒ 00:12:20.580 Uttam Kumaran: and like, say, a couple of words, and I think that’ll increase the
127 00:12:21.020 ⇒ 00:12:23.289 Uttam Kumaran: you know reception there as well. So
128 00:12:23.420 ⇒ 00:12:26.380 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, it’s gonna be good. It’s finally starting.
129 00:12:26.810 ⇒ 00:12:34.270 Nicolas Sucari: We? We can plan on a schedule so that we don’t repost like the same day. Everyone. I don’t know if that
130 00:12:34.400 ⇒ 00:12:41.610 Nicolas Sucari: works for the different platforms or not, or if or if it is better to repost like on the same day.
131 00:12:41.860 ⇒ 00:12:42.680 Nicolas Sucari: I think.
132 00:12:42.680 ⇒ 00:12:44.419 Uttam Kumaran: Good question for Rod, for rye.
