26 00:07:48.810 ⇒ 00:07:53.910 Uttam Kumaran: but, like the meetings I did have were kind of tense, so like
27 00:07:54.210 ⇒ 00:07:57.239 Uttam Kumaran: I, that wasn’t the best part. But.
28 00:07:57.240 ⇒ 00:07:59.390 Hannah Wang: Yeah, was it client meetings?
29 00:08:01.200 ⇒ 00:08:03.629 Uttam Kumaran: No, it was just like some of our internal stuff, I think.

31 00:08:04.350 ⇒ 00:08:08.909 Uttam Kumaran: Changes on like the way some of the AI stuff is getting run.
32 00:08:09.820 ⇒ 00:08:11.710 Uttam Kumaran: which is good. Actually, I think
33 00:08:12.490 ⇒ 00:08:14.910 Uttam Kumaran: nothing sorry. I’m just like you just.

36 00:08:18.630 ⇒ 00:08:23.373 Uttam Kumaran: like nothing crazy. I just. I think we’re trying to figure out how to best work
37 00:08:23.780 ⇒ 00:08:26.900 Uttam Kumaran: on on all of our clients and internal work. So.
38 00:08:27.270 ⇒ 00:08:27.620 Hannah Wang: Just a.
39 00:08:27.620 ⇒ 00:08:28.969 Uttam Kumaran: Like figuring it out.
40 00:08:31.100 ⇒ 00:08:36.599 Hannah Wang: Yeah, I feel like you and Robert are like cranking out a lot of sales stuff, too. So.
41 00:08:36.600 ⇒ 00:08:37.390 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so.
42 00:08:37.390 ⇒ 00:08:38.490 Hannah Wang: It’s just like.
43 00:08:38.490 ⇒ 00:08:39.440 Uttam Kumaran: Hammer that.
44 00:08:39.860 ⇒ 00:08:45.230 Hannah Wang: Yeah, I don’t know how you manage all of those like conversations
45 00:08:45.390 ⇒ 00:08:48.479 Hannah Wang: on Linkedin and stuff like that, and heritage and whatnot.
46 00:08:48.990 ⇒ 00:08:54.509 Uttam Kumaran: We’re well, we’re doing a lot of we’re we’re we’re keeping track a lot of it with AI summaries. And then.
47 00:08:54.510 ⇒ 00:08:55.640 Hannah Wang: Oh, yeah.
48 00:08:55.640 ⇒ 00:09:05.082 Uttam Kumaran: You know, my focus is a lot of what I’m focusing on is just like drumming up the business and then hopefully handing it off to Robert and some folks to close sales, so.
49 00:09:05.360 ⇒ 00:09:05.930 Hannah Wang: Yeah.
50 00:09:05.930 ⇒ 00:09:06.943 Uttam Kumaran: But yeah,

57 00:09:30.920 ⇒ 00:09:34.819 Osman Ghandour: Kind of hectic man kind of hectic. So
58 00:09:37.660 ⇒ 00:09:45.449 Osman Ghandour: But it’s we had some some legal stuff come up but it’s it’s being taken care of. So that’s okay.
59 00:09:45.840 ⇒ 00:09:46.800 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
60 00:09:46.800 ⇒ 00:09:47.620 Osman Ghandour: Exciting.
61 00:09:48.850 ⇒ 00:09:51.396 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, hopefully, fun and exciting. That’s like.
62 00:09:51.760 ⇒ 00:09:54.780 Osman Ghandour: I mean, yeah, sarcastically funny, except not
63 00:09:56.380 ⇒ 00:09:58.060 Osman Ghandour: yeah. More nerve wracking. But it’s it’s.
64 00:09:58.060 ⇒ 00:09:59.050 Uttam Kumaran: Sorry. Sorry.
65 00:09:59.460 ⇒ 00:10:02.890 Osman Ghandour: Okay, how about you guys?
66 00:10:03.810 ⇒ 00:10:06.647 Uttam Kumaran: Things are good. I am.
67 00:10:07.310 ⇒ 00:10:16.529 Uttam Kumaran: we just had a i i think I’m fulfilling my promise of spending like 50% of time on sales stuff, but it’s just exhausting.
68 00:10:16.530 ⇒ 00:10:17.689 Osman Ghandour: I need to get there.
69 00:10:17.690 ⇒ 00:10:27.510 Uttam Kumaran: It’s a lot of just like pacing at coffee shops on the phone and follow up meetings. That’s good. And then.
70 00:10:28.030 ⇒ 00:10:34.750 Uttam Kumaran: yeah, I think we’re. You know, we we’re sitting on a lot of really interesting stuff to automate. But we’re finding that like, I think
71 00:10:35.180 ⇒ 00:10:41.739 Uttam Kumaran: couple of people in the company really have the core mind of like, what needs to get automated, how to break it down into steps
72 00:10:42.100 ⇒ 00:10:51.560 Uttam Kumaran: as like. And so then I, we’re we’re running some internal sprints to automate some stuff. But I think I’m gonna get back more involved in that. And then
73 00:10:51.930 ⇒ 00:11:00.720 Uttam Kumaran: the stuff on the client side, though, is going well. We we just sold where we just brought in one client where we’re primarily doing a lot of like clay related automation.
74 00:11:00.980 ⇒ 00:11:07.169 Uttam Kumaran: So things like automating enrichment. Go to market? Like sequencing things like that.
75 00:11:09.460 ⇒ 00:11:11.739 Uttam Kumaran: And so yeah, it’s going well, just like
76 00:11:12.140 ⇒ 00:11:15.780 Uttam Kumaran: midweek. So I’m pumped for this dude. I was telling Hannah
77 00:11:16.230 ⇒ 00:11:25.399 Uttam Kumaran: I was like, Yeah, we just sort of talk every 2 weeks, and it’s just a good like check in about how both our businesses are going, and then I you know, I feel like we
78 00:11:25.650 ⇒ 00:11:40.069 Uttam Kumaran: have this, you know, motion. Now where we’re trying to do more promotion. I was like it’d be perfect for us to sort of talk about something and then have our team produce it like and and get something out there. I think it’d be really good, win win, and hopefully.
79 00:11:40.550 ⇒ 00:11:43.619 Uttam Kumaran: not too much time from from either of us.
80 00:11:44.635 ⇒ 00:11:48.520 Uttam Kumaran: So yeah, maybe maybe, Hannah, I can let you drive
81 00:11:48.630 ⇒ 00:11:53.880 Uttam Kumaran: this meeting, and I know I I’ve reviewed the doc so we can take this wherever we want to go.
82 00:11:54.820 ⇒ 00:11:56.820 Hannah Wang: Yeah. So I guess
83 00:11:57.800 ⇒ 00:12:08.679 Hannah Wang: the most important thing if we’re gonna do a promo is the topic. So I know Osman, you reviewed the the doc, and you said, 1, 2, and 5 are your favorite, so I guess I can just
84 00:12:09.100 ⇒ 00:12:12.870 Hannah Wang: pull it up. I’ll share my screen. Pull it up on my side.
85 00:12:13.623 ⇒ 00:12:17.749 Hannah Wang: But yeah, utam, I don’t know if you have any thoughts or.
86 00:12:17.750 ⇒ 00:12:19.347 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I I
87 00:12:20.500 ⇒ 00:12:26.470 Uttam Kumaran: I feel like I wanted to do something that was between, sort of like, some of the stuff we’re doing in AI. And then, of course.
88 00:12:26.570 ⇒ 00:12:31.221 Uttam Kumaran: talking about like something in the financial world.
89 00:12:32.110 ⇒ 00:12:34.880 Uttam Kumaran: I like, I think 5 is.
90 00:12:35.200 ⇒ 00:12:43.270 Uttam Kumaran: There is like kind of broad, like anyone can apply it. I also do like one and 2 as well. So I’m
91 00:12:43.560 ⇒ 00:12:52.049 Uttam Kumaran: I’m fine with with either of them like I think. Tell me like, if one of them in particular like, stood out beyond the others, and like we can just
92 00:12:52.399 ⇒ 00:12:55.989 Uttam Kumaran: you know, or we could take one or 2 that like a little bit further.
93 00:12:56.820 ⇒ 00:13:00.776 Osman Ghandour: We? We can try that. We can try picking one or 2 a little farther.
94 00:13:01.240 ⇒ 00:13:03.530 Osman Ghandour: and we can just throw a bunch of
95 00:13:03.870 ⇒ 00:13:16.690 Osman Ghandour: stuff at the wall and see kind of what sticks. That’s kind of my approach, like, just like we can just ramble and talk, and you know, and and we’ll we’ll cut it up later, and it’ll be nice. That’s what I’m that’s what I’m guessing right.
96 00:13:16.900 ⇒ 00:13:20.659 Uttam Kumaran: Yes, that’s exactly it. So I think, definitely.
97 00:13:20.990 ⇒ 00:13:28.179 Uttam Kumaran: you know, talking about something regarding workflow automation. Like 5, I think, is
98 00:13:29.770 ⇒ 00:13:34.429 Uttam Kumaran: 5. I think people can learn from, but maybe it’s a mix of like one and 2
99 00:13:34.860 ⇒ 00:13:38.709 Uttam Kumaran: which is just about like, hey, how how people, how folks in
100 00:13:38.850 ⇒ 00:13:47.660 Uttam Kumaran: how some of your clients could potentially use like AI agents. Maybe how we’re seeing some clients use it, how we can maybe up like, think about a potential
101 00:13:47.780 ⇒ 00:13:48.550 Uttam Kumaran: like
102 00:13:48.790 ⇒ 00:13:56.430 Uttam Kumaran: opportunity in private credit or in financial services. So maybe I’ll take a 1 and 2 and sort of expand it.
103 00:13:57.146 ⇒ 00:13:59.920 Osman Ghandour: I think, in terms of a conversation.
104 00:14:01.910 ⇒ 00:14:08.189 Uttam Kumaran: I mean, I think, free flowing where maybe again, we’ll we’ll prepare like a couple of questions, and I’m happy to
105 00:14:08.310 ⇒ 00:14:20.240 Uttam Kumaran: sort of guided, and then we will just discuss I think. We can pre prepare sort of like couple of talking points, so that while we talk we have that to reference, but
106 00:14:20.470 ⇒ 00:14:22.839 Uttam Kumaran: I mean, I think we’re usually pretty good at
107 00:14:23.140 ⇒ 00:14:26.900 Uttam Kumaran: just rambling and and and chatting about things. So
108 00:14:27.373 ⇒ 00:14:30.419 Uttam Kumaran: I think, Hannah, maybe we’ll plan on that, so we’ll do something.
109 00:14:30.994 ⇒ 00:14:33.059 Uttam Kumaran: Related to the 1st 2 topics.
110 00:14:33.060 ⇒ 00:14:33.690 Osman Ghandour: Yeah, so.
111 00:14:34.144 ⇒ 00:14:36.510 Uttam Kumaran: I think we can aim for
112 00:14:36.890 ⇒ 00:14:42.370 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know like what you’re thinking about. Length, Hannah, but I think ideally in terms of the execution. I think
113 00:14:43.100 ⇒ 00:14:49.420 Uttam Kumaran: couple of things. One we should consider if we’re just gonna film on zoom, or if if.
114 00:14:49.420 ⇒ 00:14:49.770 Hannah Wang: Yeah.
115 00:14:49.770 ⇒ 00:14:55.289 Uttam Kumaran: What happened before, where I, whatever one of the events, I just filmed on my camera on my phone, basically.
116 00:14:55.650 ⇒ 00:15:01.150 Uttam Kumaran: And that’s like a better format. But maybe I’ll how do you think about that? In terms of the actual setup.
117 00:15:02.060 ⇒ 00:15:04.650 Hannah Wang: Yeah. So that kind of cleared up one of the questions I had.
118 00:15:04.650 ⇒ 00:15:05.230 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, okay.
119 00:15:05.230 ⇒ 00:15:09.290 Hannah Wang: It’s. It’s just the video, right? It’s not like a webinar or like an event.
120 00:15:09.290 ⇒ 00:15:14.310 Uttam Kumaran: No, I think it’s just a video discussion, I think. Let’s just try. Let’s try one of these.
121 00:15:15.050 ⇒ 00:15:19.100 Uttam Kumaran: I just want to leave us. I think it’s helpful, because it can be a little bit Async.
122 00:15:19.610 ⇒ 00:15:24.809 Uttam Kumaran: I think we can then chop it up and create some assets from it.
123 00:15:27.620 ⇒ 00:15:29.890 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know, I think, drumming up the
124 00:15:30.130 ⇒ 00:15:42.939 Uttam Kumaran: attention for Webinar and getting the engagement. It’s like there’s a couple that work really well, but often it’s people on their lunch break like like listening. I mean, I think about me. I go to. I go to Webinars, but like
125 00:15:43.170 ⇒ 00:15:51.250 Uttam Kumaran: not very often like I’m just doing like 4 of the things. So I think, releasing it as a video is, good, people can binge it on 2 XI think also, it’s just
126 00:15:51.630 ⇒ 00:15:58.930 Uttam Kumaran: for me, I think a lot about just releasing content in different mediums. So part of it is like, can we occupy the video space
127 00:15:59.250 ⇒ 00:16:01.659 Uttam Kumaran: and then take advantage of both of our
128 00:16:01.800 ⇒ 00:16:04.119 Uttam Kumaran: sort of like viewership on Linkedin.
129 00:16:04.960 ⇒ 00:16:11.719 Uttam Kumaran: So I think that I think we’ll probably try to record something that’s closer to like 30 min of like a Zoom Meeting, and then
130 00:16:12.130 ⇒ 00:16:13.409 Uttam Kumaran: we can chop it up.
131 00:16:15.470 ⇒ 00:16:16.680 Hannah Wang: Yeah, I.
132 00:16:17.930 ⇒ 00:16:20.120 Uttam Kumaran: It’s just the zoom. I think the
133 00:16:21.190 ⇒ 00:16:24.279 Uttam Kumaran: like. The zoom camera is not gonna be great quality.
134 00:16:24.280 ⇒ 00:16:24.990 Hannah Wang: Right.
135 00:16:24.990 ⇒ 00:16:27.040 Uttam Kumaran: But you will get like the I mean.
136 00:16:27.740 ⇒ 00:16:35.259 Uttam Kumaran: I think, typically what people do like, you watch podcasts where they’re doing it over zoom. They record locally.
137 00:16:35.490 ⇒ 00:16:36.090 Hannah Wang: Yeah.
138 00:16:36.090 ⇒ 00:16:36.826 Uttam Kumaran: Basically
139 00:16:38.680 ⇒ 00:16:43.179 Uttam Kumaran: In addition to, for example, I think they record audio and video locally.
140 00:16:44.170 ⇒ 00:16:48.649 Uttam Kumaran: so like I could record on my phone, or I think people use obs or something.
141 00:16:50.600 ⇒ 00:16:52.889 Uttam Kumaran: For recording, I just know like, that’s what like
142 00:16:53.230 ⇒ 00:16:55.900 Uttam Kumaran: what like, mainly like a lot of the streamers use.
143 00:16:57.140 ⇒ 00:17:10.329 Hannah Wang: Yeah, I just want to figure out like the what the best setup is in terms of having both horizontal and vertical cause. What you did for the default. Webinar, I think, was helpful where you it was over, Zoom, but you had your phone recording vertically, and then.
144 00:17:10.339 ⇒ 00:17:10.679 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
145 00:17:10.930 ⇒ 00:17:20.669 Hannah Wang: Could repurpose that. So I think we just need to figure out like a good setup where there’s horizontal assets and vertical assets as well.
146 00:17:23.260 ⇒ 00:17:26.459 Uttam Kumaran: The other thing that could be. You know I could. I
147 00:17:26.990 ⇒ 00:17:33.730 Uttam Kumaran: like. If you don’t, I’m I have a webcam here I could check about? Can I record it locally? The other thing is.
148 00:17:34.980 ⇒ 00:17:39.949 Uttam Kumaran: Like we’ll we’ll record, or, for example, I think it will either be you or Ryan can join
149 00:17:40.140 ⇒ 00:17:42.820 Uttam Kumaran: that meeting, maybe, and it could just be 30 min.
150 00:17:42.980 ⇒ 00:17:45.320 Uttam Kumaran: We can record it to the cloud. Basically.
151 00:17:45.860 ⇒ 00:17:48.939 Uttam Kumaran: So I like, at minimum worst case, we have that footage.
152 00:17:49.240 ⇒ 00:17:52.290 Uttam Kumaran: And then I’ll record. I can record on my side
153 00:17:53.660 ⇒ 00:17:57.619 Uttam Kumaran: both what’s coming from the camera and maybe phone as well.
154 00:17:59.680 ⇒ 00:18:01.610 Hannah Wang: Probably phone would be for vertical.
155 00:18:02.112 ⇒ 00:18:15.989 Hannah Wang: and then over your webcam will be horizontal, and then we’ll have the zoom cloud as backup, and then Ryan can kind of stitch together as he sees fit. So I just feel like having yeah. All 3 of those would be helpful.
156 00:18:15.990 ⇒ 00:18:19.850 Uttam Kumaran: So I think it would definitely be able to do like eat like one sort of like
157 00:18:19.970 ⇒ 00:18:35.209 Uttam Kumaran: it. Tech desk session, where we make sure that it works like I’ll set up my camera, and then we can make sure that I can get whatever I need video out of this. And and then it looks like fine on your end, and then so on both of our sides.
158 00:18:38.370 ⇒ 00:18:40.369 Uttam Kumaran: And then I think that’s really like.
159 00:18:40.910 ⇒ 00:18:43.559 Uttam Kumaran: that’s it. Yeah, I think we’ll plan for some time
160 00:18:44.070 ⇒ 00:18:48.110 Uttam Kumaran: next week, and then we can have this go out like the week after.
161 00:18:48.600 ⇒ 00:18:51.639 Uttam Kumaran: you know, or or basically we have a full length video.
162 00:18:51.880 ⇒ 00:18:57.340 Uttam Kumaran: We have the clips as well, and then I know Ryan will probably work on like a a schedule.
163 00:18:58.530 ⇒ 00:19:00.520 Uttam Kumaran: It could post a content schedule.
164 00:19:00.520 ⇒ 00:19:01.380 Hannah Wang: Yeah.
165 00:19:02.340 ⇒ 00:19:13.610 Hannah Wang: yeah, Austin, do you have like, I don’t know the setup that we’re talking about like, would you be able to also replicate that on your side, and then send it over to us, and then we could like stitch it together.
166 00:19:14.240 ⇒ 00:19:19.260 Osman Ghandour: To. I mean, I have obs like you want me to like record using obs.
167 00:19:19.740 ⇒ 00:19:22.609 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I’m I’m basically gonna try.
168 00:19:23.080 ⇒ 00:19:25.760 Uttam Kumaran: I mean, I could try today. I don’t have obs.
169 00:19:25.880 ⇒ 00:19:28.950 Uttam Kumaran: But like, I can just try to record it and see what happens.
170 00:19:30.740 ⇒ 00:19:33.060 Uttam Kumaran: I mean, I was just gonna download it basically.
171 00:19:33.060 ⇒ 00:19:38.139 Osman Ghandour: Yeah, it’s pretty, I mean, do you? Do we want multiple copies just just to see if.
172 00:19:38.140 ⇒ 00:19:43.755 Uttam Kumaran: Well, I think we want each of our each of our cameras, but not like
173 00:19:44.270 ⇒ 00:19:46.579 Uttam Kumaran: through the web, like we want the
174 00:19:47.070 ⇒ 00:19:49.389 Uttam Kumaran: the raw footage from each of our sides
175 00:19:49.630 ⇒ 00:19:53.040 Uttam Kumaran: cause right now, coming through zoom, you lose like a ton of fidelity.
176 00:19:53.993 ⇒ 00:20:00.180 Uttam Kumaran: Meaning the zoom recording of your thing is like way worse than if you were just to record
177 00:20:00.610 ⇒ 00:20:02.599 Uttam Kumaran: your side of it locally.
178 00:20:04.220 ⇒ 00:20:08.560 Osman Ghandour: And when you say your side of it, you’re not meaning record what’s on the screen. You mean like record.
179 00:20:08.560 ⇒ 00:20:09.629 Uttam Kumaran: Your face, your face.
180 00:20:09.630 ⇒ 00:20:13.470 Osman Ghandour: My face, but not my face that’s showing on the screen.
181 00:20:15.823 ⇒ 00:20:22.149 Uttam Kumaran: No, no, not oh, yeah, you’re right. I’m not. You’re not trying to record. You’re you’re basically trying to record the feed from your camera.
182 00:20:23.160 ⇒ 00:20:24.110 Osman Ghandour: Oh!
183 00:20:24.390 ⇒ 00:20:28.340 Uttam Kumaran: So this is where, like I don’t know whether obs is like the best tool.
184 00:20:28.340 ⇒ 00:20:31.680 Osman Ghandour: For capturing. I used it for that. But I can see. Yeah.
185 00:20:31.680 ⇒ 00:20:39.909 Uttam Kumaran: For video capture, or whether I mean, I feel like it should have it.
186 00:20:41.850 ⇒ 00:20:43.222 Osman Ghandour: Let me see
187 00:20:45.120 ⇒ 00:20:52.580 Uttam Kumaran: Because Zoom will record it. It’ll take it to the cloud. It’ll record what they’re seeing like server side.
188 00:20:52.580 ⇒ 00:21:01.230 Osman Ghandour: Zoom, but but the zoom, the the zoom record to local. When I’ve seen that before it was, I’ve seen other people do. It was pretty good, you know.
189 00:21:01.230 ⇒ 00:21:01.660 Uttam Kumaran: I mean.
190 00:21:01.660 ⇒ 00:21:02.260 Osman Ghandour: Yeah.
191 00:21:02.560 ⇒ 00:21:08.610 Uttam Kumaran: So if let me, I can, I mean, I could just hit record to this computer. But like but it, I think it maybe only is one way.
192 00:21:09.410 ⇒ 00:21:10.160 Osman Ghandour: What do you mean one way.
193 00:21:10.160 ⇒ 00:21:14.259 Uttam Kumaran: Like. If I record it to my computer, it won’t record.
194 00:21:14.840 ⇒ 00:21:16.750 Uttam Kumaran: You can also get your raw footage.
195 00:21:18.790 ⇒ 00:21:20.040 Osman Ghandour: You can, all.
196 00:21:20.040 ⇒ 00:21:24.759 Uttam Kumaran: Meaning like I can get my like native whatever. This camera is, 1080 p.
197 00:21:25.260 ⇒ 00:21:25.690 Osman Ghandour: Thanks.
198 00:21:25.690 ⇒ 00:21:29.229 Uttam Kumaran: But I don’t think I can get your 1080 p.
199 00:21:29.720 ⇒ 00:21:31.940 Uttam Kumaran: Raw fish. I’m just getting whatever is coming through the wire.
200 00:21:32.630 ⇒ 00:21:33.320 Osman Ghandour: Okay.
201 00:21:34.600 ⇒ 00:21:36.659 Osman Ghandour: Yeah, I’m
202 00:21:37.100 ⇒ 00:21:40.990 Osman Ghandour: I’m not sure but I can. We can. We can read a little bit about it like.
203 00:21:40.990 ⇒ 00:21:41.650 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
204 00:21:41.650 ⇒ 00:21:49.900 Osman Ghandour: Like, I’ve I’ve been on a couple of podcasts. What they’ve done is they’ve just done the zoom recording locally and the quality has been fine. But that’s.
205 00:21:49.900 ⇒ 00:21:50.510 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
206 00:21:50.680 ⇒ 00:21:51.959 Osman Ghandour: What I’ve seen. Yeah.
207 00:21:52.100 ⇒ 00:21:56.609 Uttam Kumaran: Okay. So maybe, Hannah, I’ll try. Maybe we can try on our end like I’ll try. Obs
208 00:21:57.730 ⇒ 00:21:59.600 Uttam Kumaran: I’m gonna see if I can think of a simple setup.
209 00:22:00.250 ⇒ 00:22:05.380 Uttam Kumaran: We also will do the camera like iphone camera as well.
210 00:22:05.380 ⇒ 00:22:07.590 Hannah Wang: Right? Sure. Yeah.
211 00:22:08.100 ⇒ 00:22:13.920 Hannah Wang: I don’t know. Cause when we did the default, Webinar, like the quality, wasn’t that great? So I just
212 00:22:14.450 ⇒ 00:22:18.510 Hannah Wang: don’t know like, how, maybe, if we’re not like sharing a screen.
213 00:22:18.930 ⇒ 00:22:23.859 Hannah Wang: since our face cards are bigger, maybe that’s why the quality is better.
214 00:22:24.402 ⇒ 00:22:35.360 Hannah Wang: Versus like, yeah. If you’re sharing a screen that whole screen takes over, and then the talking heads are just like Tiny. So maybe maybe Zoom will work if you don’t plan on.
215 00:22:35.850 ⇒ 00:22:36.370 Uttam Kumaran: Sharing anything.
216 00:22:36.370 ⇒ 00:22:37.740 Hannah Wang: I mean, yeah.
217 00:22:39.360 ⇒ 00:22:41.450 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, let’s try it on our end. And then I’ll
218 00:22:41.450 ⇒ 00:22:49.790 Uttam Kumaran: yeah. I think the share screen is is point is is probably right. I think now that I think about it, the people that I’ve seen have done it without sharing screens.
219 00:22:49.790 ⇒ 00:22:50.490 Hannah Wang: Yeah.
220 00:22:52.030 ⇒ 00:22:54.150 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, yeah. So I feel like, zoom is.
221 00:22:54.330 ⇒ 00:23:13.879 Hannah Wang: Fine. But yeah, we can loop in Ryan, too, because he maybe he knows something that we don’t. But we can discuss this Async. And then just like, put in the channel. So I feel like, tech wise like, yeah, we Tom, you and I and Ryan can figure it out on our end. And then schedule like a dry run, just to make sure everything works. And then
222 00:23:14.398 ⇒ 00:23:17.191 Hannah Wang: in terms of the date and time.
223 00:23:17.750 ⇒ 00:23:23.109 Hannah Wang: yeah, did you guys have like a date and time in mind.
224 00:23:23.110 ⇒ 00:23:26.740 Osman Ghandour: Next week. Yeah, I mean no time. How’s your schedule next week?
225 00:23:31.350 ⇒ 00:23:37.630 Uttam Kumaran: It’s not bad, I mean, I can I? I’m trying to block off most of my mornings now, for like sales stuff, so.
226 00:23:37.780 ⇒ 00:23:38.570 Osman Ghandour: And that.
227 00:23:38.570 ⇒ 00:23:42.430 Uttam Kumaran: I can do mornings, but up to you.
228 00:23:44.540 ⇒ 00:23:51.730 Osman Ghandour: Yeah, I mean morning since we I mean, yeah, you want to do midday one morning. Seems to be a little bit busy on my side. Do you want to do midday?
229 00:23:52.030 ⇒ 00:23:55.730 Osman Ghandour: I don’t know. We can do like I don’t know.
230 00:23:55.730 ⇒ 00:23:58.430 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, usually like, basically like after.
231 00:23:58.610 ⇒ 00:24:02.459 Uttam Kumaran: like 2 to 3, Eastern is also usually free for me.
232 00:24:02.690 ⇒ 00:24:05.670 Osman Ghandour: Oh, yeah, cause my morning. Yeah, cause you’re an hour behind me.
233 00:24:05.830 ⇒ 00:24:06.510 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
234 00:24:06.660 ⇒ 00:24:11.709 Osman Ghandour: Okay, yeah, we can do like when we want it. What? An hour.
235 00:24:12.510 ⇒ 00:24:15.139 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, maybe I’ll just block off like, how is like
236 00:24:15.400 ⇒ 00:24:19.499 Uttam Kumaran: Wednesday, that like 2 to 2 to 3,
237 00:24:20.360 ⇒ 00:24:23.760 Uttam Kumaran: or how like can you do 12. Can you do noon to one on Wednesday.
238 00:24:23.760 ⇒ 00:24:28.439 Osman Ghandour: I can ye? Yes, I can do noon to one. My time on Wednesday. Yeah, that’s perfect.
239 00:24:28.440 ⇒ 00:24:33.490 Uttam Kumaran: Let’s how about we aim for that? So I’ll just
240 00:24:35.440 ⇒ 00:24:38.130 Uttam Kumaran: Hannah. Would you mind blocking? Maybe that off.
241 00:24:38.690 ⇒ 00:24:39.350 Hannah Wang: Yeah.
242 00:24:41.000 ⇒ 00:24:48.510 Uttam Kumaran: And let’s just plan on that. So this by this week, I think we’ll have just like the basic talking points again, we’ll just aim for 30 min of discussion.
243 00:24:49.720 ⇒ 00:24:54.280 Uttam Kumaran: I think it should not. Shouldn’t be that bad at all. I think the biggest thing is, we’ll
244 00:24:54.500 ⇒ 00:25:03.520 Uttam Kumaran: we’ll also provide like we’ll do the thumbnail. If you guys also want to publish it on Youtube or something, we can
245 00:25:03.810 ⇒ 00:25:05.130 Uttam Kumaran: flip the branding.
246 00:25:05.130 ⇒ 00:25:07.050 Osman Ghandour: Publish on Youtube. But yeah, whatever like.
247 00:25:07.720 ⇒ 00:25:13.870 Uttam Kumaran: We’ll just go for it. And you just tell me like once you see everything, if if you like, and we’ll have keep all the assets and stuff so.
248 00:25:13.870 ⇒ 00:25:16.556 Osman Ghandour: Of course. Yeah, we’re super super flexible, like, it’s on like, it’s
249 00:25:16.780 ⇒ 00:25:17.450 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
250 00:25:17.450 ⇒ 00:25:25.460 Osman Ghandour: Yeah, do do whatever makes sense? And yeah, so will we have some type of, or do you want me to help? Or
251 00:25:25.630 ⇒ 00:25:27.490 Osman Ghandour: do you want to put together some type of.
252 00:25:27.490 ⇒ 00:25:28.220 Uttam Kumaran: I’m gonna let.
253 00:25:28.220 ⇒ 00:25:28.610 Osman Ghandour: Take a.
254 00:25:28.610 ⇒ 00:25:36.739 Uttam Kumaran: Putting together the questions, and then it’ll I’ll just sort of have it be like at least 3 or 4 questions, and then we can
255 00:25:37.150 ⇒ 00:25:39.089 Uttam Kumaran: if we want. Yeah, we can just ramble from there.
256 00:25:40.160 ⇒ 00:25:52.979 Uttam Kumaran: That’s it. I think on that on that 1 h block. I think we can just start by just like making sure, like tech. And everything is set up, and then we’ll just go through the questions. If there’s anything particular we want to remember to touch on, and then
257 00:25:53.810 ⇒ 00:25:54.910 Uttam Kumaran: just rip it.
258 00:25:55.340 ⇒ 00:25:57.770 Osman Ghandour: Okay, perfect.
259 00:25:58.720 ⇒ 00:26:00.699 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, cool look our content creators.
260 00:26:02.210 ⇒ 00:26:03.230 Uttam Kumaran: that’s it as easy as that.
261 00:26:03.230 ⇒ 00:26:07.080 Hannah Wang: Yeah, yeah, you just need a video and a mic of some sort.
262 00:26:07.080 ⇒ 00:26:08.919 Uttam Kumaran: Need a really click bait title.
263 00:26:08.920 ⇒ 00:26:09.590 Hannah Wang: Yeah.

265 00:26:20.050 ⇒ 00:26:25.480 Osman Ghandour: Did my comments in the did, my did, my writing and notion not go through. For some reason
266 00:26:26.360 ⇒ 00:26:27.040 Hannah Wang: Oh!
