1 00:04:46.280 ⇒ 00:04:47.100 Hannah Wang: Hi.
2 00:04:47.860 ⇒ 00:04:48.570 Hannah Wang: Hello.
3 00:04:48.570 ⇒ 00:04:51.370 Robert Tseng: Hello! Hello.
4 00:04:53.780 ⇒ 00:04:55.969 Hannah Wang: Let me grab my water.
5 00:04:56.840 ⇒ 00:04:58.009 Robert Tseng: water and dehydrated.
6 00:04:59.090 ⇒ 00:05:00.110 Robert Tseng: migration.
7 00:05:01.330 ⇒ 00:05:03.240 Hannah Wang: Immigration Nation.
8 00:05:03.600 ⇒ 00:05:07.900 Hannah Wang: Also, do you have, like, a rec for a good…
9 00:05:08.030 ⇒ 00:05:17.130 Hannah Wang: desk. I feel like the desk in our places are not ergonomic, and my posture is… Suffering.
10 00:05:20.710 ⇒ 00:05:22.329 Robert Tseng: We want, like, a standing desk?
11 00:05:23.600 ⇒ 00:05:24.070 Hannah Wang: Oh, man.
12 00:05:24.070 ⇒ 00:05:27.099 Robert Tseng: Isn’t a desk just like a table?
13 00:05:28.090 ⇒ 00:05:29.729 Robert Tseng: What do you mean? What kind of wreck?
14 00:05:29.730 ⇒ 00:05:48.209 Hannah Wang: No, because, like, the tables that we have here, they’re too high, so I have to put my chair, like, super high up, but then my legs are, which is bad. So my, like, left leg is not doing well, and then, like, I don’t know where to put my arms, because it’s, like, I feel like a T-Rex, so…
15 00:05:48.540 ⇒ 00:05:49.240 Robert Tseng: Yeah.
16 00:05:51.120 ⇒ 00:05:52.580 Robert Tseng: I’m gonna send you…
17 00:05:53.390 ⇒ 00:05:54.539 Hannah Wang: That’s fair enough.
18 00:05:54.890 ⇒ 00:05:57.280 Hannah Wang: Do you still sit on your ball?
19 00:05:57.670 ⇒ 00:06:03.439 Robert Tseng: Not this week, because I haven’t been feeling that well.
20 00:06:03.660 ⇒ 00:06:06.250 Hannah Wang: I don’t know if you can hear, but I’m, like, congested.
21 00:06:06.690 ⇒ 00:06:07.420 Hannah Wang: Yeah.
22 00:06:09.000 ⇒ 00:06:10.830 Robert Tseng: Yeah, but usually…
23 00:06:10.970 ⇒ 00:06:17.630 Robert Tseng: But also, like, Rachel moved her chair out into the living room, so that’s… I don’t know, I’m just being lazy, but I should be sitting on my ball.
24 00:06:18.380 ⇒ 00:06:19.410 Hannah Wang: Yeah, I should.
25 00:06:19.410 ⇒ 00:06:29.419 Robert Tseng: Yes, because that helps me to sit in a very good posture. I never have any pain. But if you look at my messy desk, I have my chair, and then I have, like, a footboard thing.
26 00:06:29.630 ⇒ 00:06:30.060 Hannah Wang: Yeah.
27 00:06:30.060 ⇒ 00:06:38.579 Robert Tseng: Yeah. So that’s how I stay grounded while I’m seated up, because, yeah, I mean, these tables are made way too tall.
28 00:06:38.580 ⇒ 00:06:39.140 Hannah Wang: Yeah.
29 00:06:39.140 ⇒ 00:06:41.330 Robert Tseng: I’m not very big, so…
30 00:06:42.510 ⇒ 00:06:46.650 Hannah Wang: Do your arms, like… Are they, like, this?
31 00:06:47.500 ⇒ 00:06:53.220 Robert Tseng: No, I mean, they’re… they’re like… Let’s fit.
32 00:06:53.220 ⇒ 00:06:58.370 Hannah Wang: Oh, that’s not terrible, but I feel like that’s also not good for you if it’s, like…
33 00:06:58.370 ⇒ 00:06:59.889 Robert Tseng: Yeah, no, it should be like this.
34 00:07:00.220 ⇒ 00:07:04.330 Hannah Wang: Oh, I’m suffering here. Oh, it’s okay.
35 00:07:04.330 ⇒ 00:07:07.759 Robert Tseng: Yeah, it’s the short… it’s the 5’5 problem.
36 00:07:10.460 ⇒ 00:07:16.970 Robert Tseng: Nothing is built… nothing in the world is made for people that are… Yeah.
37 00:07:17.370 ⇒ 00:07:19.179 Hannah Wang: Okay, well…
38 00:07:20.620 ⇒ 00:07:29.930 Hannah Wang: I’m missing… I don’t… well, yeah, I’m missing marketing stand-up to do this, because stand-up, I feel like you can just do async.
39 00:07:29.930 ⇒ 00:07:35.329 Robert Tseng: Yeah, and your team is, like, I feel like the Philippines people are always, like, in hurricanes or whatever.
40 00:07:35.330 ⇒ 00:07:40.640 Hannah Wang: I know, I feel bad for them. They always have, like, water problems.
41 00:07:40.900 ⇒ 00:07:47.829 Robert Tseng: I keep telling Utah, we need to get Ryan more stable Wi-Fi. I feel like this happens every week. Like, this is… this is not okay.
42 00:07:47.830 ⇒ 00:07:49.020 Hannah Wang: I know.
43 00:07:49.370 ⇒ 00:07:50.250 Hannah Wang: Yeah.
44 00:07:50.620 ⇒ 00:07:51.180 Robert Tseng: But…
45 00:07:51.400 ⇒ 00:07:55.659 Hannah Wang: Okay, sure.
46 00:07:56.160 ⇒ 00:07:59.340 Hannah Wang: Anyway, I don’t know if you saw my message above your…
47 00:07:59.340 ⇒ 00:08:02.000 Robert Tseng: I saw, yes.
48 00:08:02.000 ⇒ 00:08:03.100 Hannah Wang: Yeah, so…
49 00:08:03.350 ⇒ 00:08:07.080 Robert Tseng: I haven’t reviewed it yet, so I will do that, and I know…
50 00:08:08.150 ⇒ 00:08:13.230 Robert Tseng: Yeah, I mean, I took a look at this a while ago, and I was like, ugh, let’s do some checks, and I have to, like…
51 00:08:13.230 ⇒ 00:08:14.950 Hannah Wang: Yeah, I know.
52 00:08:14.950 ⇒ 00:08:17.209 Robert Tseng: Yeah, yeah, no, I… yeah, I can…
53 00:08:20.560 ⇒ 00:08:27.010 Robert Tseng: I’m… I’m not gonna do it this week, but I will… I’ll make a note to do it, to do this.
54 00:08:27.620 ⇒ 00:08:31.270 Hannah Wang: Like, do you wanna… oh, just so I can tell Lauren, like, when… Yeah.
55 00:08:31.450 ⇒ 00:08:32.580 Hannah Wang: the draft.
56 00:08:38.130 ⇒ 00:08:43.089 Robert Tseng: I can do it on my flight to Chicago, so just tell her we’ll get it, we’ll have it next week.
57 00:08:43.480 ⇒ 00:08:44.710 Hannah Wang: End of next week.
58 00:08:44.710 ⇒ 00:08:49.580 Robert Tseng: Early next week. I’ll send her, I’ll send her a draft, yeah.

61 00:08:53.370 ⇒ 00:08:55.430 Hannah Wang: Is the 15 still okay for you?
62 00:08:55.790 ⇒ 00:08:58.650 Hannah Wang: October, for the webinar.
63 00:08:58.650 ⇒ 00:09:03.520 Robert Tseng: Oh, yeah, I mean, I… I don’t… I don’t think that far ahead, so I didn’t have an opinion, honestly.
64 00:09:03.520 ⇒ 00:09:04.800 Hannah Wang: Oh, okay.
65 00:09:04.800 ⇒ 00:09:08.869 Robert Tseng: If there’s nothing there, then that’s a good time to just book something.
66 00:09:09.440 ⇒ 00:09:19.420 Hannah Wang: Okay, wait, let me check your calendar. I mean, you have, like, some Eden stuff that you didn’t accept, so I…
67 00:09:19.420 ⇒ 00:09:25.979 Robert Tseng: Okay, you can always book over that, like… Okay. Yeah. Yeah. People put a lot of stuff on my calendar that I don’t accept.
68 00:09:26.520 ⇒ 00:09:27.380 Hannah Wang: Okay.
69 00:09:27.840 ⇒ 00:09:33.589 Hannah Wang: Well, I also know your…
70 00:09:33.890 ⇒ 00:09:37.340 Hannah Wang: I forgot what time I sent it for, but I know you like Sabbath.
71 00:09:37.480 ⇒ 00:09:38.809 Hannah Wang: On that day.
72 00:09:39.220 ⇒ 00:09:42.850 Hannah Wang: Oh, great. I forgot if I… I think… It’s okay.
73 00:09:43.150 ⇒ 00:09:48.109 Robert Tseng: It’s okay if it, like, overlaps with it, it’s why. Like, I’ll just…
74 00:09:48.630 ⇒ 00:09:56.789 Robert Tseng: I’ll either do Thursday instead, or, like, I’ll… I’ll skip it, just because it’s… it’s hard to Sabbath what I have lost about the evening now, too.
75 00:09:56.790 ⇒ 00:09:57.350 Hannah Wang: Yeah.
76 00:09:57.350 ⇒ 00:09:57.900 Robert Tseng: Shop.

78 00:10:03.810 ⇒ 00:10:11.010 Robert Tseng: Okay. Yeah, I mean, I do prefer earlier in the day. Like, I don’t think I can do a webinar by, like, 3pm. I don’t… I never want to be on camera by then.
79 00:10:11.220 ⇒ 00:10:12.740 Hannah Wang: I know. Okay.
80 00:10:12.990 ⇒ 00:10:16.200 Hannah Wang: Well, I’ll be there, so hopefully that’ll help you, but…

82 00:10:18.400 ⇒ 00:10:19.199 Hannah Wang: Oh, that helps.

84 00:10:20.340 ⇒ 00:10:26.900 Hannah Wang: Oh… Finally working Eastern Time hours. That’ll be nice.
85 00:10:26.900 ⇒ 00:10:29.510 Robert Tseng: It’d probably be better, yeah.
86 00:10:29.720 ⇒ 00:10:34.230 Hannah Wang: Yeah, it’s like, I wake up to a flood of messages, and it stresses me out, so it’s…
87 00:10:34.230 ⇒ 00:10:39.200 Robert Tseng: Oh, grip. It’s okay, nothing’s ever that urgent. You can always just temper that.
88 00:10:39.200 ⇒ 00:10:44.300 Hannah Wang: That’s what I tell myself, but you know me, my personality, everything’s urgent and important.
89 00:10:46.540 ⇒ 00:10:49.759 Robert Tseng: No, you have to… you have to… you have to better regulate.
90 00:10:49.990 ⇒ 00:10:51.150 Hannah Wang: Otherwise, you know…
91 00:10:51.150 ⇒ 00:10:52.200 Robert Tseng: You’ll go crazy.
92 00:10:52.200 ⇒ 00:10:59.859 Hannah Wang: I do the startup life, it’s not for me. I can’t. This is, like, not sustainable for me.
93 00:10:59.860 ⇒ 00:11:00.480 Robert Tseng: Yeah.
94 00:11:01.750 ⇒ 00:11:03.980 Hannah Wang: Yeah, so… we’ll see.
95 00:11:03.980 ⇒ 00:11:05.400 Robert Tseng: Yeah.
96 00:11:05.570 ⇒ 00:11:19.359 Hannah Wang: Midweek, next week. October, good. Yeah, dude, I was like, oh my gosh. Yeah, I need to regulate my life better. So I blocked off my Tuesday to Thursday mornings.
97 00:11:19.490 ⇒ 00:11:24.699 Hannah Wang: Like, no meetings, because sometimes people put meetings at, like, 8am, and I’m like, no, I need to do my.
98 00:11:24.700 ⇒ 00:11:25.030 Robert Tseng: Yeah.
99 00:11:25.030 ⇒ 00:11:26.060 Hannah Wang: time, so…
100 00:11:26.060 ⇒ 00:11:26.530 Robert Tseng: Yeah.
101 00:11:26.530 ⇒ 00:11:27.709 Hannah Wang: Clocks it up.
102 00:11:28.160 ⇒ 00:11:28.980 Hannah Wang: Yeah.
103 00:11:29.750 ⇒ 00:11:36.670 Robert Tseng: Yeah, just do what you gotta do, like, yeah, it’ll be fine. Like, if there’s something actually important, like.
104 00:11:36.930 ⇒ 00:11:39.360 Robert Tseng: I don’t know, someone will say something, but…
105 00:11:39.360 ⇒ 00:11:41.750 Hannah Wang: Probably text me or call me or something.
106 00:11:41.750 ⇒ 00:11:42.370 Robert Tseng: Yeah.
107 00:11:42.370 ⇒ 00:11:43.250 Hannah Wang: Yo, so…
108 00:11:43.250 ⇒ 00:11:48.439 Robert Tseng: But I… I don’t think I… I don’t think I put anything, that early for you, so…
109 00:11:49.030 ⇒ 00:11:51.650 Hannah Wang: I’ll accept on Monday, but that’s fine.
110 00:11:52.830 ⇒ 00:12:02.529 Robert Tseng: Well, someone put that… oh, I guess… wait, did I say that? Okay, okay. I mean, I’m fine with moving it later, but that… whatever. People wanted that, yeah.
111 00:12:02.530 ⇒ 00:12:08.160 Hannah Wang: I’ve gotten used to… well, that was to accommodate Sid’s schedule, but now everyone’s kind of more…
112 00:12:08.160 ⇒ 00:12:14.580 Robert Tseng: Right. Once Justina starts, I’m moving it. We’re gonna move it back. 11 a.m. doesn’t make sense to me.
113 00:12:14.580 ⇒ 00:12:15.190 Hannah Wang: Okay.
114 00:12:15.190 ⇒ 00:12:16.340 Robert Tseng: Like, yeah.
