17 00:01:11.667 ⇒ 00:01:20.800 Ryan Brosas: I’m not sure because it’s for, like the weekly meeting, the the retro got the retro team.
18 00:01:21.520 ⇒ 00:01:22.540 Ryan Brosas: Oh, it’s.
19 00:01:22.540 ⇒ 00:01:24.459 Nicolas Sucari: Maybe it’s because it’s the same link.
20 00:01:24.460 ⇒ 00:01:29.050 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, okay, okay, yeah. So the weekly retro is that
21 00:01:29.720 ⇒ 00:01:33.750 Uttam Kumaran: is that what is that? 11? My time? So it’s at midnight. Your time.
22 00:01:34.400 ⇒ 00:01:35.895 Ryan Brosas: Oh, yeah, sorry

24 00:01:39.950 ⇒ 00:01:40.900 Nicolas Sucari: No problem.
25 00:01:41.120 ⇒ 00:01:41.949 Uttam Kumaran: No worries.
26 00:01:44.357 ⇒ 00:01:47.420 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, cool. Yeah. I guess. Same way.
27 00:01:50.485 ⇒ 00:01:53.959 Uttam Kumaran: Alright, I mean, that’s let’s, I guess. Let’s just talk about
28 00:01:53.980 ⇒ 00:01:55.449 Uttam Kumaran: the day. Then.
29 00:01:56.289 ⇒ 00:02:00.350 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I think the meeting, I think the email was great.
30 00:02:01.550 ⇒ 00:02:02.180 Nicolas Sucari: Cool.
31 00:02:02.440 ⇒ 00:02:03.190 Uttam Kumaran: So.
32 00:02:03.190 ⇒ 00:02:03.610 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
33 00:02:03.710 ⇒ 00:02:04.410 Uttam Kumaran: We got it.
34 00:02:04.410 ⇒ 00:02:05.080 Nicolas Sucari: Hope.
35 00:02:05.430 ⇒ 00:02:18.710 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I hope that’s useful for them. It’s kind of difficult to get the same information from all of the different sources. I think the idea was to show what we have in each of them, and how we can work towards getting
36 00:02:18.790 ⇒ 00:02:22.480 Nicolas Sucari: like the same information on all of the sources right?
37 00:02:24.220 ⇒ 00:02:32.870 Nicolas Sucari: We struggle a little bit with Ryan to get like the x like the additional info, not only the skew id
38 00:02:33.320 ⇒ 00:02:45.479 Nicolas Sucari: and if it is, if it exists or not, but like the way the head, like all of the dimensions of the yeah of the products that was kind of Tricky, and I don’t think we have, like
39 00:02:45.880 ⇒ 00:02:49.029 Nicolas Sucari: all of the information in all of the tools.
40 00:02:50.810 ⇒ 00:02:54.896 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, no, that’s so. That’s actually the point of
41 00:02:55.650 ⇒ 00:02:56.140 Uttam Kumaran: of the
42 00:02:56.810 ⇒ 00:02:57.390 Uttam Kumaran: Harley.
43 00:02:57.390 ⇒ 00:02:57.980 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, yeah.
44 00:02:57.980 ⇒ 00:03:06.059 Uttam Kumaran: That we have. We have skews, in a several tools with several different sets of information.
45 00:03:06.080 ⇒ 00:03:11.660 Uttam Kumaran: So basically, what they’re what they’re hoping we can do is like align one list with every system.
46 00:03:12.310 ⇒ 00:03:12.710 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
47 00:03:12.710 ⇒ 00:03:16.250 Uttam Kumaran: That way, we can have one list where they make decisions on the cost
48 00:03:16.779 ⇒ 00:03:22.290 Uttam Kumaran: and then they they basically apply that to every single system.
49 00:03:22.560 ⇒ 00:03:28.570 Uttam Kumaran: So this is the 1st step there. So I wasn’t worried that yeah. Told him that there’s gonna be a lot of differences.
50 00:03:28.710 ⇒ 00:03:34.220 Uttam Kumaran: So what their their, their feedback is probably gonna be they don’t they? Only they don’t only want to look at
51 00:03:34.830 ⇒ 00:03:39.389 Uttam Kumaran: if if it exists in each of them, but also are the values the same.
52 00:03:42.160 ⇒ 00:03:43.750 Nicolas Sucari: The values of what?
53 00:03:44.180 ⇒ 00:03:47.489 Uttam Kumaran: Like values for cost values, for dimensions. Weight.
54 00:03:47.950 ⇒ 00:03:49.999 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, it’s the same.
55 00:03:50.820 ⇒ 00:03:51.250 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
56 00:03:51.250 ⇒ 00:03:55.639 Nicolas Sucari: That’s the issue. I think we don’t have that information in all of the tools that
57 00:03:55.740 ⇒ 00:04:20.120 Nicolas Sucari: yeah, we should look into that like specifically, I think the 1st step here is to identify what should be the list of skews that we should work with right like. 1st of all, clean. That list of skews have the same skews in all of the different tools. Delete what we are not using, and then start like digging a little bit more on other values. Because if not, we’re gonna mess up with so many things that we are not using.
58 00:04:20.310 ⇒ 00:04:22.420 Nicolas Sucari: But maybe that will be an issue.
59 00:04:24.310 ⇒ 00:04:34.619 Nicolas Sucari: I I will say, like the 1st step should be that like we need to align, which is the skews that we are gonna use across all of the different sources.
60 00:04:37.190 ⇒ 00:04:41.110 Nicolas Sucari: because if not, maybe we, we are gonna start working on
61 00:04:41.130 ⇒ 00:04:43.819 Nicolas Sucari: adding heights, adding weight. I don’t.
62 00:04:43.820 ⇒ 00:04:49.454 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, exactly like he actually, initially, he was like, Can we just pull this for
63 00:04:49.830 ⇒ 00:04:50.530 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
64 00:04:50.970 ⇒ 00:04:53.150 Uttam Kumaran: Can we just do this for
65 00:04:53.300 ⇒ 00:05:00.940 Uttam Kumaran: in ground pumps? But I don’t know. It’s gonna be the same amount of work. So I wanted to put everything up there and then we can. We can see like
66 00:05:03.810 ⇒ 00:05:05.509 Uttam Kumaran: you know, we can see what works.
67 00:05:06.750 ⇒ 00:05:07.400 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
68 00:05:10.750 ⇒ 00:05:12.929 Nicolas Sucari: yeah. And the and every
69 00:05:13.000 ⇒ 00:05:15.569 Nicolas Sucari: a resource handles the
70 00:05:15.780 ⇒ 00:05:17.550 Nicolas Sucari: the products differently.
71 00:05:17.600 ⇒ 00:05:31.729 Nicolas Sucari: So yeah, we have the query that Ryan was created to gather the information from everywhere. But yeah, maybe we need to work on different tables from different sources to get all of the information
72 00:05:32.230 ⇒ 00:05:37.450 Nicolas Sucari: we have everything. It will be good to have like our own skew table
73 00:05:37.570 ⇒ 00:05:39.390 Nicolas Sucari: in Snowflake. Maybe.
74 00:05:39.900 ⇒ 00:05:42.730 Nicolas Sucari: so that we can always refer to that one.
75 00:05:43.360 ⇒ 00:05:49.959 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, okay, yeah, exactly like we either have a Google sheet or something where all the information comes from. And then.
76 00:05:49.960 ⇒ 00:05:50.640 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
77 00:05:50.850 ⇒ 00:05:51.220 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
78 00:05:52.340 ⇒ 00:05:59.589 Nicolas Sucari: I mean for a 1st review. I think what we send is okay, and it will clearly show them that we have like lots of differences.
79 00:06:01.320 ⇒ 00:06:05.099 Nicolas Sucari: and yeah, we can then start working to clean it up a little bit.
80 00:06:05.630 ⇒ 00:06:06.360 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
81 00:06:08.620 ⇒ 00:06:09.400 Uttam Kumaran: Yep.
82 00:06:09.870 ⇒ 00:06:13.350 Nicolas Sucari: And then with Kim Kim sent yesterday. Yeah.
83 00:06:13.560 ⇒ 00:06:18.559 Nicolas Sucari: file with differences that she was like looking through real dashboards
84 00:06:19.114 ⇒ 00:06:22.799 Nicolas Sucari: so I’m gonna talk to Ryan to start working on fixing
85 00:06:22.920 ⇒ 00:06:32.459 Nicolas Sucari: those metrics and seeing why we have so diff so much difference in some campaigns or some channels. For example, email SMS. We have differences there.
86 00:06:33.570 ⇒ 00:06:33.900 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
87 00:06:36.540 ⇒ 00:06:37.270 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
88 00:06:37.380 ⇒ 00:06:43.280 Nicolas Sucari: So I think that would be like the scope for Ryan next week. And with Chuck, we don’t have like anything
89 00:06:43.500 ⇒ 00:06:54.190 Nicolas Sucari: like super yeah with priority. Right now. It’s just trying to work with Pam and clean that unleash stuff. I asked her if she was able to delete
90 00:06:54.736 ⇒ 00:07:02.159 Nicolas Sucari: those tax rates, but she was not able yet, so maybe I can scale a call with her and try to help her do that.
91 00:07:02.622 ⇒ 00:07:06.300 Nicolas Sucari: But apart from that we don’t have like any requests from from Chuck.
92 00:07:06.610 ⇒ 00:07:18.160 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, I think maybe the biggest thing for Chuck we can plan next time is just like once all, I think the biggest thing is for him is, I mean, once all the warehouse information is there for us to be able to look at all the costs.
93 00:07:18.690 ⇒ 00:07:23.029 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah. Yeah. And that’s an issue. Because Justin told us that
94 00:07:23.140 ⇒ 00:07:25.479 Nicolas Sucari: we still need to wait for
95 00:07:26.069 ⇒ 00:07:35.659 Nicolas Sucari: for the Po number in the report. It’s gonna send every order now with the Po number. But we don’t. We want to be able to have the report
96 00:07:35.740 ⇒ 00:07:47.550 Nicolas Sucari: right now, so I don’t know when that will be completed, he told us. It will take a while longer. But yeah, I mean, we can manually add for the new ones, and try to see how we can
97 00:07:47.820 ⇒ 00:07:54.329 Nicolas Sucari: get that numbers and try to add the orders for these past weeks through into our tables.
98 00:07:54.991 ⇒ 00:07:59.029 Nicolas Sucari: But that those are the only issues that we have with both parties. Apart from that, I think we are.
99 00:07:59.140 ⇒ 00:08:01.370 Nicolas Sucari: We’re pretty good on everything.
100 00:08:01.900 ⇒ 00:08:02.540 Uttam Kumaran: Okay?
101 00:08:03.440 ⇒ 00:08:05.505 Uttam Kumaran: And then let’s talk about
102 00:08:05.900 ⇒ 00:08:08.199 Uttam Kumaran: for Javi coffee.
103 00:08:08.790 ⇒ 00:08:09.590 Uttam Kumaran: Yep.
104 00:08:11.430 ⇒ 00:08:15.259 Nicolas Sucari: I answered the message by yas, sent yesterday.
105 00:08:15.260 ⇒ 00:08:15.890 Uttam Kumaran: Right.
106 00:08:16.650 ⇒ 00:08:19.079 Nicolas Sucari: I gave him. Kind of.
107 00:08:19.700 ⇒ 00:08:23.000 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I explained, and I show him a little bit what we had
108 00:08:23.060 ⇒ 00:08:27.469 Nicolas Sucari: on notion. I added a link, and I added him so that he can access there.
109 00:08:28.560 ⇒ 00:08:34.530 Nicolas Sucari: and yeah, I he he asked about the implementation of real, and I told him that once we have the tables ready, we’ll
110 00:08:34.549 ⇒ 00:08:37.029 Nicolas Sucari: participate him in in the setup.
111 00:08:37.419 ⇒ 00:08:41.739 Uttam Kumaran: Cool. Okay, great. Yeah, it would. I don’t know his skill set yet. So.
112 00:08:41.740 ⇒ 00:08:42.169 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
113 00:08:42.249 ⇒ 00:08:49.989 Uttam Kumaran: Maybe he’s maybe he knows how to do it himself. Maybe we need to set it up. I just I don’t know. But I’m I’m actually really happy because I misses Robert. I was like.
114 00:08:49.999 ⇒ 00:08:54.389 Uttam Kumaran: Hey, like, it’s Pius. Gonna just be like running all analysis because Brian
115 00:08:54.409 ⇒ 00:08:57.599 Uttam Kumaran: is because Brian is not gonna handle that.
116 00:08:57.800 ⇒ 00:08:58.370 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
117 00:08:58.370 ⇒ 00:09:05.071 Uttam Kumaran: He was like, he was like, yeah, like, loop him into anything. So it’s it’s actually great. Cause you know, what we’re gonna end up doing is
118 00:09:05.760 ⇒ 00:09:29.369 Uttam Kumaran: The chain of command in terms of responsibilities is gonna end up. Being with pious 1st meaning. Pious will report on analysis. There will be questions about the analysis, and then some of those will lead to changes in the data model. Right? Right now, we’re all about. The eyes are on us, which is fine, but of course, like
119 00:09:29.920 ⇒ 00:09:42.435 Uttam Kumaran: we we have, it takes us a while to get this stuff done. Once it’s ready. I want to start pushing on them to make sure the analysis is great. So this is good. I’m really glad we have that relationship. I think on
120 00:09:42.740 ⇒ 00:09:51.859 Uttam Kumaran: I think on Stella, we never kind of established that really closely so on this one. I think it’s really great that we have, like his support.
121 00:09:52.660 ⇒ 00:10:02.159 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, obviously, I think it’s it’s okay. And then we can focus on doing the modeling. And when there is a new request, we can just work on that. And if he can handle
122 00:10:02.260 ⇒ 00:10:09.190 Nicolas Sucari: everything regarding analysis and yeah, maybe sharing with man and their team, that will be okay.
123 00:10:09.691 ⇒ 00:10:20.070 Nicolas Sucari: I mean, I can show him, and I can show him how to set up real, how to create dashboards if he needs to change anything, and he can handle that maybe it’s not that difficult, and if he has some skill set
124 00:10:20.150 ⇒ 00:10:25.049 Nicolas Sucari: on developing or doing some data work, he will manage to do it.
125 00:10:27.020 ⇒ 00:10:28.020 Uttam Kumaran: Okay. Cool.
126 00:10:30.390 ⇒ 00:10:30.675 Nicolas Sucari: Yep.
127 00:10:36.720 ⇒ 00:10:38.670 Nicolas Sucari: Then we have vita cocoa.
128 00:10:41.590 ⇒ 00:10:44.010 Nicolas Sucari: I don’t know if we need to do
129 00:10:44.930 ⇒ 00:10:47.249 Nicolas Sucari: anything like super.
130 00:10:48.120 ⇒ 00:10:49.130 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
131 00:10:49.180 ⇒ 00:10:50.350 Nicolas Sucari: click. Now.
132 00:10:50.940 ⇒ 00:10:55.040 Nicolas Sucari: I think right now we are doing okay, and Miguel is working.
133 00:10:55.710 ⇒ 00:10:57.389 Nicolas Sucari: We send that
134 00:10:57.550 ⇒ 00:10:58.530 Nicolas Sucari: file
135 00:11:00.050 ⇒ 00:11:01.430 Nicolas Sucari: with the new.
136 00:11:01.540 ⇒ 00:11:04.130 Nicolas Sucari: with new columns. So
137 00:11:04.450 ⇒ 00:11:11.880 Nicolas Sucari: yeah, I’ll I’ll ask Miguel to finish that, and let’s and post something on the teams channel.
138 00:11:12.270 ⇒ 00:11:12.950 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
139 00:11:13.640 ⇒ 00:11:17.170 Nicolas Sucari: And ask for more feedback, and I don’t know how we will continue.
140 00:11:17.170 ⇒ 00:11:20.980 Uttam Kumaran: You know the the last thing. Actually, I need to test
141 00:11:21.030 ⇒ 00:11:23.109 Uttam Kumaran: the Fdp.
142 00:11:23.540 ⇒ 00:11:27.230 Uttam Kumaran: so I’ll try to do that today where I just test whether it works
143 00:11:27.670 ⇒ 00:11:31.270 Uttam Kumaran: but I think we have enough. I think we have
144 00:11:32.470 ⇒ 00:11:36.470 Uttam Kumaran: We can just send that. We. We have it working for a batch of
145 00:11:36.660 ⇒ 00:11:39.409 Uttam Kumaran: of the locations, and we’re gonna scale it up.
146 00:11:40.090 ⇒ 00:11:48.659 Uttam Kumaran: We can let. I think I’m I’m just gonna let them know that, like, there is this probably gonna end up being about a hundred bucks a month to
147 00:11:48.800 ⇒ 00:11:50.450 Uttam Kumaran: run everything
148 00:11:50.510 ⇒ 00:11:55.119 Uttam Kumaran: but they. They are okay with that. So that’s already in the contract.
149 00:11:56.370 ⇒ 00:12:00.099 Uttam Kumaran: so otherwise, yeah, I feel, I feel, okay. I think all that is is good.
150 00:12:02.340 ⇒ 00:12:08.920 Uttam Kumaran: I think those are the only major projects. So we have. I have a conversation today and next week with
151 00:12:09.480 ⇒ 00:12:11.919 Uttam Kumaran: some potential clients, I think, Robert said.
152 00:12:11.920 ⇒ 00:12:12.570 Nicolas Sucari: Nice.
153 00:12:12.570 ⇒ 00:12:19.040 Uttam Kumaran: There’s 1 other he’s bringing. He may bring us another client as well. That’s gonna close in the next week or so.
154 00:12:20.050 ⇒ 00:12:20.630 Nicolas Sucari: Good.
155 00:12:20.910 ⇒ 00:12:25.525 Uttam Kumaran: So we have some good potential there. The the stuff on
156 00:12:26.730 ⇒ 00:12:29.502 Uttam Kumaran: The stuff on social is going really well, like
157 00:12:30.060 ⇒ 00:12:36.150 Uttam Kumaran: We did another post this morning on on Linkedin and and twitter. I wrote a little bit about
158 00:12:38.340 ⇒ 00:12:41.829 Uttam Kumaran: I wrote a little bit about the Google event.
159 00:12:42.050 ⇒ 00:12:43.430 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I, read it.
160 00:12:43.980 ⇒ 00:12:47.950 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I think I I mean, I’m giving. I have for me. I’m like.
161 00:12:48.470 ⇒ 00:13:17.189 Uttam Kumaran: because I read a lot of these. So I’m very like I’m very particular on like, does it sound like AI or not, you know, for the most part, but also less about that. More like, does it sound like it’s my voice. And the strategy that we’re gonna have is there’s gonna be stuff posted from the company account that’s like from the company perspective, and then stuff from my which, from my account, which is like in my voice, the nice thing is, Ryan is able to actually like.
162 00:13:17.550 ⇒ 00:13:22.699 Uttam Kumaran: write a lot of that first, st and then I can go in and like edit it. So it sounds like me.
163 00:13:23.470 ⇒ 00:13:24.840 Uttam Kumaran: which is great.
164 00:13:25.710 ⇒ 00:13:31.750 Nicolas Sucari: And I think everywhere, yeah, we don’t need to like, be super worried about if it’s
165 00:13:31.790 ⇒ 00:13:34.750 Nicolas Sucari: if it sounds like AI or not.
166 00:13:35.090 ⇒ 00:13:35.450 Uttam Kumaran: Right.
167 00:13:35.450 ⇒ 00:13:38.189 Nicolas Sucari: Using AI like everyone knows about that. So.
168 00:13:38.870 ⇒ 00:13:39.960 Nicolas Sucari: But I also want.
169 00:13:39.960 ⇒ 00:13:46.909 Uttam Kumaran: So like, actually, like, I’m I’m less concerned with, like, Oh, we’re gonna get a hundred likes. I want people to book meetings right?
170 00:13:47.180 ⇒ 00:13:47.885 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah,
171 00:13:49.750 ⇒ 00:13:53.650 Uttam Kumaran: so that’s my biggest like thing is like, how do we?
172 00:13:54.360 ⇒ 00:13:57.870 Uttam Kumaran: How do we make that, you know possible?
173 00:13:59.700 ⇒ 00:14:00.430 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
174 00:14:01.254 ⇒ 00:14:04.690 Uttam Kumaran: But let’s see, I mean, look, I think the biggest thing is consistency.
175 00:14:06.850 ⇒ 00:14:07.830 Uttam Kumaran: so
176 00:14:10.700 ⇒ 00:14:10.990 Uttam Kumaran: yeah.
177 00:14:10.990 ⇒ 00:14:12.209 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, that’s good.
178 00:14:13.170 ⇒ 00:14:15.370 Nicolas Sucari: I’ll repose some some stuff today.
179 00:14:16.200 ⇒ 00:14:30.009 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. And then I think ideally, what we can do is, you know, I think, like on Fridays. I’ll probably share with everybody what I posted, and and just say, if you’re interested, if if you like it, please please go like it and repost it.
180 00:14:32.050 ⇒ 00:14:34.029 Uttam Kumaran: So that would be great.
181 00:14:35.980 ⇒ 00:14:37.409 Nicolas Sucari: Excellent. Okay.
182 00:14:39.630 ⇒ 00:14:42.220 Nicolas Sucari: cool. And I think, yeah.
183 00:14:42.600 ⇒ 00:14:48.020 Nicolas Sucari: with, I don’t know if we yeah, I I read the update from Ann and Jp.
184 00:14:48.722 ⇒ 00:14:51.500 Nicolas Sucari: yeah, I think they’re working fine.
185 00:14:51.550 ⇒ 00:14:57.229 Nicolas Sucari: We just need to review, I think some of the blog page on the figma.
186 00:14:57.430 ⇒ 00:14:58.880 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, bad
187 00:14:59.270 ⇒ 00:15:01.360 Nicolas Sucari: and send. And
188 00:15:01.750 ⇒ 00:15:05.250 Nicolas Sucari: then it’s just like scheduling when we’re gonna do that
189 00:15:05.350 ⇒ 00:15:06.870 Nicolas Sucari: replacement of
190 00:15:06.950 ⇒ 00:15:08.309 Nicolas Sucari: data science, right?
191 00:15:09.660 ⇒ 00:15:10.530 Uttam Kumaran: Exactly.
192 00:15:12.840 ⇒ 00:15:18.420 Uttam Kumaran: So, basically, we’ll try to do one post a week. And then on Tuesdays, we will plan
193 00:15:18.610 ⇒ 00:15:24.480 Uttam Kumaran: well, based on like basically today is when I wanted to try to meet with them, to basically say.
194 00:15:24.990 ⇒ 00:15:28.889 Uttam Kumaran: here’s what we’re gonna need designed for the next post.
195 00:15:29.730 ⇒ 00:15:31.419 Uttam Kumaran: That way. They can work on it.
196 00:15:31.520 ⇒ 00:15:33.740 Uttam Kumaran: and then we have illustrations ready.
197 00:15:37.050 ⇒ 00:15:37.840 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
198 00:15:38.783 ⇒ 00:15:44.620 Uttam Kumaran: But I think, like we’re gonna get into a good flow. I mean, I’m I manage like.
199 00:15:44.650 ⇒ 00:15:53.139 Uttam Kumaran: you know, design teams like this. I think the biggest thing is, I just want to make sure everybody has time and clarity, because their work is very like individual
200 00:15:53.960 ⇒ 00:15:58.980 Uttam Kumaran: so the biggest thing I can give them is as much time and clarity as possible. Where
201 00:15:59.100 ⇒ 00:16:03.869 Uttam Kumaran: typically where it goes wrong is when you ask for stuff very quickly.
202 00:16:04.050 ⇒ 00:16:06.700 Uttam Kumaran: like I need this tomorrow stuff like that. I’m.
203 00:16:06.700 ⇒ 00:16:07.430 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, that’s.
204 00:16:07.430 ⇒ 00:16:10.069 Uttam Kumaran: Don’t rush the designers because it turns out bad.
205 00:16:10.860 ⇒ 00:16:12.760 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, exactly. I agree.
206 00:16:13.590 ⇒ 00:16:13.960 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
207 00:16:16.280 ⇒ 00:16:19.319 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, but the the designs look really good. Yep.
208 00:16:19.700 ⇒ 00:16:26.069 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I think the designs look great. I think we’ll just continue to iterate on the text and stuff there. So that’ll be good.
209 00:16:27.500 ⇒ 00:16:28.120 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
210 00:16:28.790 ⇒ 00:16:33.110 Nicolas Sucari: And I answered that thread about the comment, section
211 00:16:33.469 ⇒ 00:16:36.769 Nicolas Sucari: I was not. I don’t know what was the idea there.
212 00:16:36.900 ⇒ 00:16:38.110 Nicolas Sucari: but
213 00:16:38.670 ⇒ 00:16:41.650 Nicolas Sucari: like it was just like adding some
214 00:16:41.700 ⇒ 00:16:42.790 Nicolas Sucari: common
215 00:16:43.080 ⇒ 00:16:48.480 Nicolas Sucari: fields like below the blog posts to for people to add stuff.
216 00:16:51.799 ⇒ 00:16:55.090 Uttam Kumaran: Yes, for people to just engage directly on the blog.
217 00:16:55.970 ⇒ 00:16:56.589 Uttam Kumaran: I think.
218 00:16:56.590 ⇒ 00:16:57.449 Nicolas Sucari: Do we have?
219 00:16:59.210 ⇒ 00:17:10.279 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, I think we because, like, I don’t know if we have like the amount of traffic in that blog post for that to happen. And it will take, I said. I think it will
220 00:17:10.349 ⇒ 00:17:12.410 Nicolas Sucari: make us be aware of
221 00:17:12.960 ⇒ 00:17:17.640 Nicolas Sucari: like another thing that we need to be reviewing and monitoring, maybe.
222 00:17:19.369 ⇒ 00:17:23.089 Nicolas Sucari: because sometimes it can be problematic that those.
223 00:17:23.480 ⇒ 00:17:24.000 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
224 00:17:24.000 ⇒ 00:17:25.589 Nicolas Sucari: So things. But yeah, I don’t know
225 00:17:28.210 ⇒ 00:17:31.140 Nicolas Sucari: if you’re posting Linkedin. We can use Linkedin for that.
226 00:17:31.540 ⇒ 00:17:34.609 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I think we’ll just keep posting on.
227 00:17:37.020 ⇒ 00:17:39.585 Uttam Kumaran: I just wanna make sure that we have the
228 00:17:40.210 ⇒ 00:17:44.679 Uttam Kumaran: the consistency down and we’re gonna get it. We’re gonna get it. We’ll get better over time
229 00:17:44.720 ⇒ 00:17:51.275 Uttam Kumaran: like the post I did today. I actually liked it. Because so here’s actually what I did. I,
230 00:17:51.840 ⇒ 00:17:56.839 Uttam Kumaran: i. And this is working really, really well, dude, it’s like I have. Ai interview me
231 00:17:57.140 ⇒ 00:17:58.680 Uttam Kumaran: about a subject
232 00:17:59.230 ⇒ 00:18:12.060 Uttam Kumaran: like, for example, the the event I basically gave the the event details to AI. And I said, Think about 10 great questions, and then just ask me them using chat, Gpt voice.
233 00:18:12.730 ⇒ 00:18:17.790 Uttam Kumaran: And then what it does is it? Asks you the question, and then I answer, and it’s almost like having a conversation
234 00:18:17.940 ⇒ 00:18:23.410 Uttam Kumaran: with like you’re getting interviewed, which is, it’s easy for me to talk like that. It’s hard for me to
235 00:18:23.770 ⇒ 00:18:26.679 Uttam Kumaran: right. And actually, I think what’s good is
236 00:18:26.730 ⇒ 00:18:33.180 Uttam Kumaran: what we’ll do is we’ll end up. I’m gonna have Miguel work with Ryan to basically create like a little bit of a blog writer
237 00:18:33.350 ⇒ 00:18:36.114 Uttam Kumaran: which has my voice and stuff so.
238 00:18:36.900 ⇒ 00:18:37.580 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
239 00:18:38.980 ⇒ 00:18:39.840 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
240 00:18:44.200 ⇒ 00:18:47.530 Nicolas Sucari: okay, cool. And I’m gonna meet with Roy
241 00:18:47.690 ⇒ 00:18:48.730 Nicolas Sucari: today.
242 00:18:48.730 ⇒ 00:18:50.869 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, great! Did you he book time.
243 00:18:51.660 ⇒ 00:18:55.229 Nicolas Sucari: No. But yeah, I’m gonna meet. Maybe after this meeting.
244 00:18:55.450 ⇒ 00:19:01.499 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, cool. Yeah. Yeah. He’s also, yeah. Just feel free to message him. If you need his Whatsapp, I can give it to you as well.
245 00:19:02.780 ⇒ 00:19:06.010 Nicolas Sucari: Oh, he just messaged me in slack, so I think we’re we’re fine.
246 00:19:06.010 ⇒ 00:19:06.899 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, nice. Okay.
247 00:19:07.040 ⇒ 00:19:07.720 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
248 00:19:08.720 ⇒ 00:19:09.560 Nicolas Sucari: Perfect.
249 00:19:09.790 ⇒ 00:19:18.449 Uttam Kumaran: And then, oh, we have one more call. So we have one call it’s the brain forge engineering. So, Patrick, I asked him to kind of create a roadmap of
250 00:19:18.880 ⇒ 00:19:27.039 Uttam Kumaran: basically, like, I kind of am pushing Patrick to try to basically lead like engineering quality and like Qa and.
251 00:19:27.040 ⇒ 00:19:27.790 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
252 00:19:27.790 ⇒ 00:19:34.359 Uttam Kumaran: Training for all, like, basically anyone that does engineering. So he’s gonna kind of give us a little bit of roadmap. This is around like
253 00:19:34.420 ⇒ 00:19:38.920 Uttam Kumaran: data data quality data security, like basically all of the
254 00:19:39.170 ⇒ 00:19:47.520 Uttam Kumaran: like engineering infrastructure, we need to maintain quality and like speed people up. So he’ll be presenting just to us.
255 00:19:47.600 ⇒ 00:19:50.600 Uttam Kumaran: and then we’ll give feedback, and then I’ll have him present to the
256 00:19:50.850 ⇒ 00:19:53.280 Uttam Kumaran: like engineering team. I think next week.
257 00:19:54.050 ⇒ 00:19:55.170 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
258 00:19:55.170 ⇒ 00:19:56.710 Uttam Kumaran: Meeting that’s at a.
259 00:19:57.660 ⇒ 00:20:00.120 Nicolas Sucari: After the team meeting. Okay.
260 00:20:00.120 ⇒ 00:20:01.010 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. Yeah.
261 00:20:01.240 ⇒ 00:20:02.050 Uttam Kumaran: If that time.
262 00:20:02.050 ⇒ 00:20:02.510 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
263 00:20:02.510 ⇒ 00:20:03.970 Uttam Kumaran: No, we can. We can move it.
264 00:20:04.410 ⇒ 00:20:06.220 Nicolas Sucari: No, no, it totally works for me.
265 00:20:06.320 ⇒ 00:20:07.930 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
266 00:20:08.350 ⇒ 00:20:22.699 Nicolas Sucari: that’s cool. Yeah. I think if he can make some progress there, and we can have like your roadmap. That will be fine, because I think, as as of now, we’ve been working in a lot of different things. But maybe we don’t have like that clear roadmap
267 00:20:23.216 ⇒ 00:20:26.589 Nicolas Sucari: so if he works on that, it would be really good.
268 00:20:27.160 ⇒ 00:20:28.149 Uttam Kumaran: Exactly like I.
269 00:20:28.150 ⇒ 00:20:39.599 Nicolas Sucari: And and we can have like more more consistency moving forward, because now it’s like we’re doing some. We are taking some steps, but it’s like, sometimes we work on something, and then we pause, and then we.
270 00:20:39.600 ⇒ 00:20:40.300 Uttam Kumaran: Exactly.
271 00:20:40.300 ⇒ 00:20:41.190 Nicolas Sucari: Start again.
272 00:20:41.190 ⇒ 00:20:49.500 Uttam Kumaran: And I wanna make sure that he has resources to do that right. So if it’s like, Oh, you need 10 h of Ryan’s time you need someone, Miguel’s time.
273 00:20:49.520 ⇒ 00:20:55.359 Uttam Kumaran: anything that internally, that that is engineering for us. He’s basically gonna be like.
274 00:20:55.560 ⇒ 00:21:02.810 Uttam Kumaran: we’re we’re the client, right? So I wanna make sure that our engineer, and but anything we work on there is an intent that we will try to
275 00:21:03.090 ⇒ 00:21:05.909 Uttam Kumaran: serve that to clients eventually as well. So.
276 00:21:06.070 ⇒ 00:21:06.580 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
277 00:21:06.580 ⇒ 00:21:08.239 Uttam Kumaran: Let’s see, I’m excited to kind of see what.
278 00:21:08.240 ⇒ 00:21:10.999 Nicolas Sucari: We need to. We need to ask him to
279 00:21:11.120 ⇒ 00:21:14.870 Nicolas Sucari: work really hard on documenting everything. I think.
280 00:21:15.070 ⇒ 00:21:15.560 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
281 00:21:15.560 ⇒ 00:21:17.950 Nicolas Sucari: Would be the key. If, then, we want to use
282 00:21:17.990 ⇒ 00:21:20.519 Nicolas Sucari: all of this stuff with clients.
283 00:21:20.780 ⇒ 00:21:26.340 Uttam Kumaran: Well, what I’m gonna ask him is a little. Also, I’m gonna push about like, how do we do education? And yeah documentation.
284 00:21:26.840 ⇒ 00:21:27.460 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah.
285 00:21:28.360 ⇒ 00:21:28.980 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
286 00:21:29.730 ⇒ 00:21:31.910 Uttam Kumaran: But but I think it’ll be a good meeting. So
287 00:21:32.750 ⇒ 00:21:33.310 Uttam Kumaran: yeah.
288 00:21:33.310 ⇒ 00:21:33.940 Nicolas Sucari: Okay.
289 00:21:34.680 ⇒ 00:21:35.520 Nicolas Sucari: Cool.
290 00:21:36.250 ⇒ 00:21:36.940 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
291 00:21:37.100 ⇒ 00:21:39.659 Uttam Kumaran: cool, Miko. Alright. Let’s talk. Let’s talk later.
292 00:21:40.450 ⇒ 00:21:41.890 Nicolas Sucari: Okay. Bye. You, Tim.
293 00:21:42.430 ⇒ 00:21:43.870 Uttam Kumaran: Thank you. Bye.
