9 00:00:49.150 ⇒ 00:00:53.569 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, and also, as you can tell, yeah, it’s getting better, like, I think we’re…
10 00:00:53.770 ⇒ 00:00:57.130 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, more clients, and yeah, so it’s good.
11 00:00:57.130 ⇒ 00:00:57.960 Kelly Piatek: Oh, yeah.
12 00:00:58.160 ⇒ 00:00:58.839 Uttam Kumaran: I think we’re…
13 00:00:58.840 ⇒ 00:00:59.740 Kelly Piatek: Exciting.
14 00:00:59.740 ⇒ 00:01:03.990 Uttam Kumaran: We’re not making nearly as many mistakes, some really, really awesome brands that were…
15 00:01:04.239 ⇒ 00:01:07.380 Uttam Kumaran: Starting to work with, so… yeah.
16 00:01:08.990 ⇒ 00:01:10.789 Kelly Piatek: No, I agree, it’s very exciting.
17 00:01:11.140 ⇒ 00:01:13.679 Kelly Piatek: Yeah. It’s been fun to watch everything, too, so…
18 00:01:13.680 ⇒ 00:01:30.700 Uttam Kumaran: I know, I, I kind of am… I don’t know how it looks like. I live every second of it, so it’s sometimes hard to take a step away, but I don’t know, something’s been clicking the last 3-4 weeks, especially, like, we’re… we’ve really gone,
19 00:01:31.310 ⇒ 00:01:36.050 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know, we’re just getting a lot of sales coming our way, and those are getting smoother, and…
20 00:01:36.230 ⇒ 00:01:39.380 Uttam Kumaran: You know, more, like, larger and…
21 00:01:39.640 ⇒ 00:01:41.119 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know, we’re just trying to…
22 00:01:41.290 ⇒ 00:01:46.750 Uttam Kumaran: Make sure that we can capture that, and then also, of course, we’re a service business, so we’ll have to make some.
23 00:01:46.750 ⇒ 00:01:47.450 Kelly Piatek: Yes.
24 00:01:48.150 ⇒ 00:01:55.550 Uttam Kumaran: We’re looking at this next phase of, like, okay, how do we sort of build up a little bit of, like, a management group, you know, and so it’s an interesting topic.
25 00:01:55.550 ⇒ 00:01:56.310 Kelly Piatek: Of course.
26 00:01:56.310 ⇒ 00:01:56.870 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
27 00:01:58.490 ⇒ 00:02:03.009 Kelly Piatek: No, it’s very… it’s… yeah, I… I really do enjoy, as I said, watching…
28 00:02:03.120 ⇒ 00:02:07.149 Kelly Piatek: Everything change and grow, and yeah, it’s,
29 00:02:07.430 ⇒ 00:02:16.629 Kelly Piatek: It’s very exciting, and I’m excited for you guys. But yeah, so… apologies for… are we waiting for someone else, or is it just you and I?
30 00:02:16.750 ⇒ 00:02:18.329 Uttam Kumaran: No, I think it’s just me, you, and Rico.
31 00:02:18.330 ⇒ 00:02:18.990 Kelly Piatek: Oh!
32 00:02:20.080 ⇒ 00:02:21.790 Kelly Piatek: Oh, okay, sorry, I didn’t see.
33 00:02:23.620 ⇒ 00:02:25.269 Kelly Piatek: Rico, sorry about that.
34 00:02:25.830 ⇒ 00:02:29.460 Kelly Piatek: Yes. Only Utam’s… only Utam’s picture was popping up, so…
35 00:02:30.680 ⇒ 00:02:31.550 Rico Rejoso: No worries.
36 00:02:34.790 ⇒ 00:02:41.429 Kelly Piatek: Just going through again. Okay, so I just pulled Clockify again right now while I was on the phone.
37 00:02:41.430 ⇒ 00:02:42.690 Uttam Kumaran: Right.
38 00:02:42.690 ⇒ 00:02:47.660 Kelly Piatek: And I assume we’re still using Clockify, correct, for all the hours? Yeah. Okay, perfect.
39 00:02:47.770 ⇒ 00:02:54.139 Kelly Piatek: So… I don’t know, do you want me to lead? Do you guys want to lead?
40 00:02:54.140 ⇒ 00:03:09.780 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, maybe, yeah, I would prefer… if you, if you and Rico would lead, that would be great. Okay. Yeah, I would like to, one, kind of talk about the payment side, so that would be… I mean, we could talk about incoming payments, so just looking at, like… Great.
41 00:03:09.860 ⇒ 00:03:16.930 Uttam Kumaran: like, what invoices plan to go out, you know, Monday, and then I can…
42 00:03:17.390 ⇒ 00:03:22.690 Uttam Kumaran: I can then, yeah, we can just confirm those, and then we can also then confirm…
43 00:03:22.920 ⇒ 00:03:28.700 Uttam Kumaran: hours from people, and at the end of this call, for folks that haven’t finished hours this week.
44 00:03:28.870 ⇒ 00:03:29.569 Uttam Kumaran: I can…
45 00:03:29.570 ⇒ 00:03:29.950 Kelly Piatek: Yes.
46 00:03:29.950 ⇒ 00:03:32.330 Uttam Kumaran: Correct, no two, so that’s no problem.
47 00:03:33.270 ⇒ 00:03:41.179 Kelly Piatek: Okay, sounds good. So, I have, if you don’t mind, I’ll just start. So, I have on the list as default.
48 00:03:41.200 ⇒ 00:03:42.640 Kelly Piatek: Insomnia.
49 00:03:42.640 ⇒ 00:04:02.330 Kelly Piatek: potentially pull parts to go, but I… doesn’t look like we’re going to be sending an invoice to them. You guys can correct me in a second. Then we have Eden Health and Hype Plus Access. So, if I just start from the top, and I’m just… I’m literally going down the list off of the Brainforge financial models, off of the next invoice date column that you had set up,
50 00:04:02.330 ⇒ 00:04:03.410 Kelly Piatek: So…
51 00:04:03.410 ⇒ 00:04:20.789 Kelly Piatek: in terms of default, as of right now, you have 29.44 hours booked. They’re at a max of 15 hours per week. That’s, to me, amazing, because even when I pulled the information a couple hours ago, it was at, like, 26 hours, so, I think somebody who’s been…
52 00:04:20.790 ⇒ 00:04:21.629 Uttam Kumaran: People have… Updating?
53 00:04:21.760 ⇒ 00:04:24.200 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, the two people there are good at updating, so…
54 00:04:24.200 ⇒ 00:04:32.099 Kelly Piatek: Yeah, yeah, so, as of right now, it’s 29.44 hours. I guess my thought is I would invoice
55 00:04:32.840 ⇒ 00:04:42.870 Kelly Piatek: on Monday, or even Sunday, or whatever, this weekend, if we hit 30 hours, I’ll invoice the 30, and then we’ll see how we end at the end of the month.
56 00:04:42.930 ⇒ 00:04:58.489 Kelly Piatek: And so, for example, somebody books and it’s 32 hours, I would do the 30 and then take the 2 hours and carry it over. Is that okay with you guys? Or do you want me to do it? Okay. So for default, I think we’re okay, unless,
57 00:04:58.720 ⇒ 00:05:03.029 Kelly Piatek: Do you guys want me to go through who I see has booked ours, or…
58 00:05:03.030 ⇒ 00:05:06.339 Uttam Kumaran: No, I think that’s fine. Okay. Fine, yeah.
59 00:05:07.030 ⇒ 00:05:14.770 Kelly Piatek: Yeah, so… so yeah, so they’re capped at 15 hours per week. It looks like you’re tracking towards that, so to me, that sounds like it should be good to go.
60 00:05:14.770 ⇒ 00:05:21.100 Uttam Kumaran: I can even send it this weekend, not a problem, like Sunday, for example, because that’s just plugging it in and hitting send.
61 00:05:21.190 ⇒ 00:05:32.699 Kelly Piatek: The next one, insomnia. So, I show that as of right now, they’re at about 29.4 hours. And…
62 00:05:32.830 ⇒ 00:05:43.070 Kelly Piatek: again, I’ve been looking through it. I know, I think it was Robert was a bit concerned that they paid more than $10,000 per month. I don’t see that as of right now.
63 00:05:43.330 ⇒ 00:05:50.399 Kelly Piatek: they haven’t overpaid. I can… I will definitely keep an eye on that, but, their invoice is outstanding.
64 00:05:50.400 ⇒ 00:05:52.090 Uttam Kumaran: She’s just nervous that, like, when we send it.
65 00:05:52.090 ⇒ 00:05:52.450 Kelly Piatek: Yeah.
66 00:05:52.450 ⇒ 00:05:53.120 Uttam Kumaran: Maybe it goes.
67 00:05:53.120 ⇒ 00:05:53.460 Kelly Piatek: Yeah.
68 00:05:53.460 ⇒ 00:05:56.259 Uttam Kumaran: Automated system, or if someone would have processed it real quick?
69 00:05:56.750 ⇒ 00:06:04.999 Kelly Piatek: Yeah, it doesn’t… it does not look like that… yeah, it does not look like that happened. It looks like they paid the adjusted invoice and not the original, so…
70 00:06:05.000 ⇒ 00:06:05.860 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, great, okay.
71 00:06:05.860 ⇒ 00:06:10.010 Kelly Piatek: I’m hoping that we’re okay, but I will definitely keep an eye on that.
72 00:06:10.060 ⇒ 00:06:24.850 Kelly Piatek: For September, they paid 10,000 total. But again, with the 30 hours, that would be $3,675, so we’re not…
73 00:06:24.880 ⇒ 00:06:42.780 Kelly Piatek: gonna exceed that for the first half of the month, and then I just have to keep an eye on that. So, to me, again, insomnia is the same as default. I think that we should be good to go on, either Sunday or Monday. I’ll just pull what hours that we have. Unless, again, you guys think that there’s been more than 30 hours booked.
74 00:06:42.920 ⇒ 00:06:44.230 Kelly Piatek: Or worked.
75 00:06:44.700 ⇒ 00:06:48.050 Uttam Kumaran: No, that’s fine, yeah, I think we’re probably gonna be right up to the max, so…
76 00:06:48.780 ⇒ 00:07:01.539 Kelly Piatek: Okay, so, and then we’ll see what happens for the next two weeks. So then, in terms of the next one, so pool parts we just talked about, I don’t see anything in Clockify, I don’t think we are going to be invoicing them.
77 00:07:01.670 ⇒ 00:07:05.060 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, there’s nothing… we’re not currently billing any hours for them.
78 00:07:05.500 ⇒ 00:07:22.949 Kelly Piatek: Okay, perfect. The next one was Eden Health. That’s an automated send. I don’t touch that one. It’s not even a send, it’s just an automated book, right? Because that comes over through, yeah. And then the last one that I have is the Hype Plus Access, but.
79 00:07:22.950 ⇒ 00:07:23.450 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so…
80 00:07:23.450 ⇒ 00:07:25.490 Kelly Piatek: As of right now, there’s zero.
81 00:07:25.730 ⇒ 00:07:31.379 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, they… they’re going through some… I mean, so Hype is like a… they’re opening a clinic, and they’re going through some.
82 00:07:32.240 ⇒ 00:07:33.079 Uttam Kumaran: So, we’re just offering…
83 00:07:33.080 ⇒ 00:07:33.699 Kelly Piatek: Okay, got it.
84 00:07:33.700 ⇒ 00:07:34.220 Uttam Kumaran: Right now?
85 00:07:34.220 ⇒ 00:07:34.809 Kelly Piatek: Okay, perfect.
86 00:07:34.810 ⇒ 00:07:38.589 Uttam Kumaran: There shouldn’t be any hours. Our contract is still active, like, it may react.
87 00:07:38.590 ⇒ 00:07:39.390 Kelly Piatek: Perfect.
88 00:07:39.390 ⇒ 00:07:46.959 Uttam Kumaran: we may, like, start billing hours again next month sometime, but, like, so I’ll just leave, kind of, we’ll leave them there as active, but…
89 00:07:47.220 ⇒ 00:07:47.800 Kelly Piatek: Perfect.
90 00:07:47.880 ⇒ 00:07:50.160 Uttam Kumaran: That’s fine if we’re on it for hours.
91 00:07:50.770 ⇒ 00:08:04.409 Kelly Piatek: Okay, perfect, yeah, because there’s nothing in Clockify, so that was one thing I wanted to just make sure that, that, it wasn’t someone, like, one specific person that works on them that just hasn’t booked any hours yet.
92 00:08:04.620 ⇒ 00:08:05.430 Kelly Piatek: Okay.
93 00:08:05.630 ⇒ 00:08:23.670 Kelly Piatek: So then, in terms of other clients, I know CTA is brand new, and, it looks like, even though the invoice has a start date of October or something, I… oh my gosh, I could look it up, but, there was a, like, a signing date, I guess, or…
94 00:08:23.670 ⇒ 00:08:24.710 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, that actually just.
95 00:08:24.710 ⇒ 00:08:26.370 Kelly Piatek: Executed it? Yeah.
96 00:08:26.370 ⇒ 00:08:29.659 Uttam Kumaran: It just got signed two days ago,
97 00:08:29.660 ⇒ 00:08:43.220 Kelly Piatek: Yeah, but I think in the contract itself, I think it says something like October something is the start date, but I didn’t see anything in Clockify for them, so I assume that the first invoice for them will be December 1st for November services.
98 00:08:43.610 ⇒ 00:08:44.320 Uttam Kumaran: Correct.
99 00:08:44.730 ⇒ 00:09:03.610 Kelly Piatek: Okay, perfect. And so then what I will do, Utam, is I will send, a screenshot. I, I basically just took the, the four different hourly amounts, and put that onto the invoice template, by, category of employee.
100 00:09:03.720 ⇒ 00:09:19.149 Kelly Piatek: I don’t know how you want me to break that out when it actually comes to the Clockify time for November hours worked, so I guess, should I… Rico, should I reach out to you about that? Is that a Robert question?
101 00:09:20.740 ⇒ 00:09:23.100 Uttam Kumaran: Which, which coin is this for?
102 00:09:23.270 ⇒ 00:09:24.310 Rico Rejoso: For CPM.
103 00:09:24.310 ⇒ 00:09:25.270 Kelly Piatek: CTA.
104 00:09:25.270 ⇒ 00:09:35.869 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, so for CTA, the way it’s gonna work is we’re just gonna have 3… so in there, there should be 3 different rates, right?
105 00:09:36.370 ⇒ 00:09:40.609 Kelly Piatek: There’s 3 rates, but broken out between 4 roles and responsibilities.
106 00:09:40.610 ⇒ 00:09:42.999 Uttam Kumaran: What are the four roles? Sorry.
107 00:09:43.400 ⇒ 00:09:49.529 Kelly Piatek: No, no, not at all. I have to… let me log in. Okay. Because I don’t… don’t have it up in front of me.
108 00:09:49.530 ⇒ 00:09:55.819 Uttam Kumaran: we’ll have to do in Clockify is when we assign people to that,
109 00:09:56.390 ⇒ 00:10:00.059 Uttam Kumaran: when we assign people to CTA, I’ll be at the highest level. Okay.
110 00:10:00.200 ⇒ 00:10:00.810 Uttam Kumaran: And then…
111 00:10:00.810 ⇒ 00:10:01.550 Kelly Piatek: Yeah.
112 00:10:01.590 ⇒ 00:10:02.120 Uttam Kumaran: So…
113 00:10:02.120 ⇒ 00:10:02.770 Kelly Piatek: So there’s…
114 00:10:02.770 ⇒ 00:10:05.390 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, it’ll be one person below, and then… yeah, go ahead.
115 00:10:05.810 ⇒ 00:10:14.530 Kelly Piatek: Yeah, so there’s a managing AI data lead executive, that’s the 200.
116 00:10:14.660 ⇒ 00:10:28.179 Kelly Piatek: and then there’s 2 at $150 per hour, which is a technical project manager and a data analyst. Okay. I can combine those two, or I can leave them broken out. Right now, I have all four roles broken out on the invoice.
117 00:10:28.180 ⇒ 00:10:38.959 Kelly Piatek: With their respective rates. But I guess I just need to know who I should double-check that with, if that’s going to be Rico, or if that’s, Robert.
118 00:10:39.120 ⇒ 00:10:43.789 Uttam Kumaran: No, I… you could… I think that’s actually true. I can confirm that, so…
119 00:10:43.790 ⇒ 00:10:44.440 Kelly Piatek: Perfect.
120 00:10:44.630 ⇒ 00:10:48.120 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so you can have… you can leave just those 4, and…
121 00:10:48.120 ⇒ 00:10:48.520 Kelly Piatek: Perfect.
122 00:10:48.520 ⇒ 00:10:51.619 Uttam Kumaran: I think we should see the bulk of it for the next…
123 00:10:51.980 ⇒ 00:11:09.159 Uttam Kumaran: three weeks be at the top two, like the senior architect and the lead. Oh, perfect. In Clockify, I just want to confirm that you can go ahead and assign me there, and I just want to confirm that you can assign roles to people
124 00:11:09.260 ⇒ 00:11:16.250 Uttam Kumaran: And so that way, it’s easy for Kelly, when she goes and checks on CTA, she can see the hours accrued per role. Is that possible?
125 00:11:20.010 ⇒ 00:11:24.409 Kelly Piatek: I’m not sure. So I see… so what I see is the project and the client.
126 00:11:24.420 ⇒ 00:11:43.879 Kelly Piatek: project, to me, would be a separate issue. The client would obviously be CTA. We could… the description, I think, would also be on its own, because that’s where you’re booking your meetings and your stand-up. I don’t know if anybody’s using task, but I think for the most part, the task column is blank, so that could be somewhere that you put it.
127 00:11:44.180 ⇒ 00:11:51.289 Kelly Piatek: Or if you just tell me what… which user is which category, I could easily do it that way.
128 00:11:52.460 ⇒ 00:11:53.840 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, go.
129 00:11:53.840 ⇒ 00:12:08.429 Rico Rejoso: We can also… I mean, we can also put it on the client page. I updated the client page based on the SOW that we have, and on the contract, so if you tell me the roles or those individuals that are assigned to, we can refer to it every time during the invoice.
130 00:12:08.430 ⇒ 00:12:09.110 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
131 00:12:09.580 ⇒ 00:12:10.170 Kelly Piatek: Okay.
132 00:12:10.430 ⇒ 00:12:20.160 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I think it… you can put… so me and Robert will be at the top, and then it’ll either be Sam or Wesh at the… at the 150, and then…
133 00:12:21.100 ⇒ 00:12:24.460 Uttam Kumaran: And basically, anyone else is at the lower amount.
134 00:12:26.110 ⇒ 00:12:26.760 Rico Rejoso: Okay.
135 00:12:27.360 ⇒ 00:12:29.550 Uttam Kumaran: So we just had our first billable…
136 00:12:29.550 ⇒ 00:12:32.759 Kelly Piatek: Like, 2 hours today, basically, so…
137 00:12:32.760 ⇒ 00:12:33.390 Rico Rejoso: Alright.
138 00:12:34.370 ⇒ 00:12:34.890 Uttam Kumaran: Bye.
139 00:12:34.890 ⇒ 00:12:42.089 Kelly Piatek: Yeah, so that’ll be something that I can double-check with you on our next call. I think it’s in 2 weeks on Friday. Okay.
140 00:12:42.160 ⇒ 00:12:45.109 Rico Rejoso: And just see how that’s shaking out.
141 00:12:45.110 ⇒ 00:12:49.080 Kelly Piatek: For the December 1st invoice for November services.
142 00:12:49.080 ⇒ 00:12:49.750 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
143 00:12:51.300 ⇒ 00:13:05.800 Kelly Piatek: So that’s what I had in terms of the latest invoices. I know, you guys were looking at a couple renewals for ABC, for Ellie, and Robert was owning a discussion for README, I think. Yes.
144 00:13:05.800 ⇒ 00:13:06.280 Uttam Kumaran: the reason.
145 00:13:06.280 ⇒ 00:13:06.830 Kelly Piatek: So…
146 00:13:06.830 ⇒ 00:13:09.280 Uttam Kumaran: Where’s that one, Rico?
147 00:13:12.100 ⇒ 00:13:13.289 Rico Rejoso: Can you read me contract?
148 00:13:13.290 ⇒ 00:13:14.070 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
149 00:13:14.820 ⇒ 00:13:20.760 Rico Rejoso: We’re still waiting for Robert to confirm it so I can send it to, send it for signing on Document, so…
150 00:13:20.760 ⇒ 00:13:23.600 Uttam Kumaran: Can you press… can you, like, just bump him on that?
151 00:13:23.600 ⇒ 00:13:24.110 Rico Rejoso: Yeah.
152 00:13:24.570 ⇒ 00:13:26.189 Rico Rejoso: Helping Robert on it.
153 00:13:26.190 ⇒ 00:13:29.270 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so that we already got verbal, so that’ll sign.
154 00:13:29.790 ⇒ 00:13:33.610 Uttam Kumaran: ABC, yeah, we’re in renewals, we’re in discussions with.
155 00:13:33.840 ⇒ 00:13:37.510 Kelly Piatek: Yeah. We’ll be hoping to sign in the next 2 weeks.
156 00:13:38.240 ⇒ 00:13:42.070 Uttam Kumaran: Urban Stems, we’re talking to them about renewal on Tuesday.
157 00:13:42.070 ⇒ 00:13:42.920 Kelly Piatek: Okay.
158 00:13:42.920 ⇒ 00:13:49.090 Uttam Kumaran: Remo should most likely just end, it’s actually just a fixed scope, so no problem there.
159 00:13:49.830 ⇒ 00:13:50.400 Kelly Piatek: Okay.
160 00:13:51.710 ⇒ 00:13:52.820 Uttam Kumaran: And then…
161 00:13:53.410 ⇒ 00:13:58.530 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I think for Hedra, yeah, we’re gonna kind of see towards the end of the month, so I’m not too worried that.
162 00:13:59.020 ⇒ 00:14:05.790 Uttam Kumaran: So… and then we have… Yeah, we have kind of, like, 2 or 3 that are,
163 00:14:06.480 ⇒ 00:14:11.270 Uttam Kumaran: In final stage, like, negotiation as well, so… we’ll just…
164 00:14:11.270 ⇒ 00:14:11.830 Kelly Piatek: Okay.
165 00:14:11.830 ⇒ 00:14:14.739 Uttam Kumaran: sort of send those over as, I think, if they end up closing.
166 00:14:15.420 ⇒ 00:14:20.680 Kelly Piatek: Perfect. Yeah, as soon as I see them, I’ve just been setting them up on, QuickBooks, and then…
167 00:14:20.850 ⇒ 00:14:27.509 Kelly Piatek: kind of reading through the contract to see, what it looks like in terms of billing, but… Okay.
168 00:14:27.950 ⇒ 00:14:31.029 Kelly Piatek: But yeah, so I think we’re okay on all of that.
169 00:14:31.550 ⇒ 00:14:48.800 Kelly Piatek: I’m just trying to think. Oh, the only other thing that I have listed in my notes is, the Eden Health. I know Megan had updated QuickBooks and, for the adjusted amounts, but I still don’t see an executed agreement out in the client folder.
170 00:14:48.800 ⇒ 00:14:50.029 Uttam Kumaran: For which one?
171 00:14:50.500 ⇒ 00:14:52.739 Kelly Piatek: For Eden Health, Pongo?
172 00:14:52.740 ⇒ 00:14:55.929 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, yeah, it’s just getting redlined right now, and I think…
173 00:14:55.930 ⇒ 00:14:56.450 Kelly Piatek: Okay, got it.
174 00:14:56.450 ⇒ 00:15:02.470 Uttam Kumaran: exciting, but I think they… I think they’re just gonna backdate, like, the… like, they’re…
175 00:15:02.680 ⇒ 00:15:04.709 Uttam Kumaran: They’re already paying us for that amount.
176 00:15:04.710 ⇒ 00:15:16.239 Kelly Piatek: Yeah. Yeah, we noticed, yeah, we noticed the increase, and Megan was asking, like, I haven’t seen the executed agreement, so I’m, I’m hoping that we, that everything’s okay. Okay, perfect.
177 00:15:19.330 ⇒ 00:15:19.940 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
178 00:15:20.410 ⇒ 00:15:26.089 Kelly Piatek: Okay, is there, is there anything else you guys wanted to talk about, or…
179 00:15:26.090 ⇒ 00:15:30.200 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I guess one thing I would like to just double check is if we could just check if anyone…
180 00:15:30.350 ⇒ 00:15:40.149 Uttam Kumaran: If we should particularly, like, look at bumping anyone for hours, Rico, like, just to make sure that they’re… they’re booking, can you just go ahead and just check to see that everybody’s…
181 00:15:40.420 ⇒ 00:15:43.990 Uttam Kumaran: sort of, added stuff in for… I don’t care about.
182 00:15:43.990 ⇒ 00:15:48.130 Kelly Piatek: Are you guys, are you guys,
183 00:15:48.560 ⇒ 00:15:53.220 Kelly Piatek: Here, let me direct… let me direct message you guys, because I ha- I just pulled the hours, if that helps.
184 00:15:53.220 ⇒ 00:15:54.640 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, cool, okay, yeah.
185 00:15:54.990 ⇒ 00:16:04.500 Kelly Piatek: Here, Utam, here’s… I just sent you it, and… give me one second… Rico, and I’ll send you…
186 00:16:05.030 ⇒ 00:16:10.330 Kelly Piatek: the same thing. So, in your Slack, I just sent, oop.
187 00:16:14.010 ⇒ 00:16:16.930 Kelly Piatek: The list, so hopefully you see it.
188 00:16:18.020 ⇒ 00:16:27.449 Kelly Piatek: Of who’s… who… of who has what, and that’s as of 11… well, sorry, as of my time right now, as of 16 minutes ago, these are the hours that have been booked.
189 00:16:27.450 ⇒ 00:16:28.260 Uttam Kumaran: For the month.
190 00:16:28.990 ⇒ 00:16:31.510 Kelly Piatek: For the… yes, for this month, for November.
191 00:16:31.510 ⇒ 00:16:31.980 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, great.
192 00:16:31.980 ⇒ 00:16:37.270 Kelly Piatek: And sorry, I’m sorry about that, Rico. I think I somehow sent it to you twice, once as text and once as a chart.
193 00:16:37.450 ⇒ 00:16:39.370 Kelly Piatek: Yeah, no worries. Apologies.
194 00:16:41.970 ⇒ 00:16:42.560 Rico Rejoso: Okay.
195 00:16:43.820 ⇒ 00:16:52.099 Kelly Piatek: So if you open it up, it looks like Amber’s booked the most, well, no, not the most. Mustafa’s booked the most, and then,
196 00:16:52.860 ⇒ 00:16:53.620 Kelly Piatek: Yeah.
197 00:16:54.930 ⇒ 00:16:59.020 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, yeah, I feel like it looks generally accurate.
198 00:16:59.290 ⇒ 00:17:00.310 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know.
199 00:17:02.720 ⇒ 00:17:03.960 Kelly Piatek: Directionally, correct?
200 00:17:03.960 ⇒ 00:17:10.899 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, and Kelly, for context, so Zoron, and Henry are both working on Eden.
201 00:17:11.050 ⇒ 00:17:13.830 Uttam Kumaran: Ron is typically working, like.
202 00:17:14.210 ⇒ 00:17:15.849 Uttam Kumaran: 10 to 20 hours a week.
203 00:17:16.410 ⇒ 00:17:20.200 Uttam Kumaran: Henry a little bit more, so I’m not too concerned with them there.
204 00:17:20.339 ⇒ 00:17:24.229 Uttam Kumaran: Amber’s working on a couple lines, but again, she’s on fixed.
205 00:17:24.380 ⇒ 00:17:25.010 Uttam Kumaran: So…
206 00:17:25.760 ⇒ 00:17:32.550 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, this looks generally fine. You may see Gabriel Lamb, but he’s just,
207 00:17:33.000 ⇒ 00:17:37.500 Uttam Kumaran: he’s booking time, but there’s no cost associated, so… Yeah.
208 00:17:37.830 ⇒ 00:17:40.629 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, otherwise looks… looks… looks fine to me.
209 00:17:42.640 ⇒ 00:17:48.580 Uttam Kumaran: I think, one thing… yeah, one thing that we’ll probably be looking to do, I think, when we get closer
210 00:17:49.280 ⇒ 00:17:56.800 Uttam Kumaran: Closer towards maybe next year, as some folks will move towards more fixed contracts, too.
211 00:17:58.160 ⇒ 00:18:04.340 Uttam Kumaran: But yeah, generally this looks fine. So yeah, I think basically our next meeting… You know, will be…
212 00:18:04.580 ⇒ 00:18:05.840 Uttam Kumaran: After, thanks.
213 00:18:06.480 ⇒ 00:18:07.920 Uttam Kumaran: Hitting, like, the 20…
214 00:18:07.920 ⇒ 00:18:10.040 Kelly Piatek: Yes. The 28th, I believe.
215 00:18:10.040 ⇒ 00:18:10.920 Uttam Kumaran: Thanksgiving time.
216 00:18:10.920 ⇒ 00:18:14.579 Kelly Piatek: Thanksgiving is… Yes, Thanksgiving’s Thursday the 27th.
217 00:18:14.830 ⇒ 00:18:19.050 Uttam Kumaran: So I wonder if we should… Yeah.
218 00:18:19.850 ⇒ 00:18:20.960 Rico Rejoso: It’s about writing.
219 00:18:20.960 ⇒ 00:18:22.800 Uttam Kumaran: I guess, are you gonna be working, Kelly?
220 00:18:24.210 ⇒ 00:18:32.029 Kelly Piatek: I am, but, if you… if you need me to. So the only thing is, I don’t… I… I live in Spain, so my time.
221 00:18:32.030 ⇒ 00:18:33.419 Uttam Kumaran: Everything is very different than yours.
222 00:18:33.420 ⇒ 00:18:35.279 Kelly Piatek: So, for me, yeah.
223 00:18:35.280 ⇒ 00:18:35.600 Uttam Kumaran: Fair enough.
224 00:18:35.600 ⇒ 00:18:38.380 Kelly Piatek: So, I live in Barcelona.
225 00:18:38.380 ⇒ 00:18:42.989 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, nice! You know, I was just, in Bilbao, like, maybe a year and a half.
226 00:18:42.990 ⇒ 00:18:43.880 Kelly Piatek: Ugh!
227 00:18:43.880 ⇒ 00:18:44.359 Uttam Kumaran: And I want…
228 00:18:44.360 ⇒ 00:18:45.279 Kelly Piatek: God, I love the ball.
229 00:18:45.280 ⇒ 00:18:48.500 Uttam Kumaran: My sister studied abroad there.
230 00:18:48.500 ⇒ 00:18:49.529 Kelly Piatek: Oh, sweet!
231 00:18:49.530 ⇒ 00:18:50.599 Uttam Kumaran: And I visited her. Where was she?
232 00:18:51.230 ⇒ 00:18:56.210 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know what is the… whatever the… there’s a universe, some university there.
233 00:18:57.340 ⇒ 00:19:01.829 Kelly Piatek: Oh, I wonder if it’s a part of ESA. There’s, like, a Navarro…
234 00:19:02.170 ⇒ 00:19:10.799 Kelly Piatek: Anyway, yeah, there’s quite a few good schools here, which I didn’t realize until my husband came here for his master’s, and then we ended up staying in Europe, so…
235 00:19:10.800 ⇒ 00:19:17.069 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, nice, okay. Yeah, I want to go back to Bilbao with my girlfriend, like, anytime I can get, so…
236 00:19:17.070 ⇒ 00:19:17.660 Kelly Piatek: Oh.
237 00:19:17.660 ⇒ 00:19:19.230 Uttam Kumaran: That’s where we’ll be going next.
238 00:19:19.230 ⇒ 00:19:24.979 Kelly Piatek: I… I have to be honest, I… the north of Spain is our favorite. We love the food.
239 00:19:24.980 ⇒ 00:19:25.670 Uttam Kumaran: I would like.
240 00:19:26.340 ⇒ 00:19:28.730 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, it’s such a different food scene.
241 00:19:29.950 ⇒ 00:19:41.980 Kelly Piatek: Yeah, it’s wonderful. But yeah, so going back to the 28th, I, I am working, it’s, I think it’s more of a, do the hours look correct? Because again.
242 00:19:42.660 ⇒ 00:19:46.970 Kelly Piatek: That’s what’s gonna drive the, the December 1 invoices.
243 00:19:46.970 ⇒ 00:19:47.800 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so that’s.
244 00:19:47.800 ⇒ 00:19:48.210 Kelly Piatek: You know?
245 00:19:48.210 ⇒ 00:19:55.959 Uttam Kumaran: I think on… I think right before… I mean, I think for our team, U.S. team at least, will have time off, and we usually give.
246 00:19:56.540 ⇒ 00:20:00.929 Uttam Kumaran: to the rest of the Robert and I should be off for the most part, and all of our clients.
247 00:20:00.930 ⇒ 00:20:01.540 Kelly Piatek: Okay.
248 00:20:01.540 ⇒ 00:20:12.869 Uttam Kumaran: We’ll be off, so I… I think we go ahead, Rico, and let’s just have a meeting on the calendar for that Friday. Ideally, that’s my only meeting, and then I’m happy to hop on and just make…
249 00:20:12.870 ⇒ 00:20:18.850 Rico Rejoso: Yeah, maybe out during that, I filed a PDO on today, 27th today.
250 00:20:19.680 ⇒ 00:20:20.580 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, okay, okay.
251 00:20:20.580 ⇒ 00:20:26.210 Kelly Piatek: Okay. I was gonna say, the other thing I can do is, why don’t I just pull the data and, like, send…
252 00:20:26.340 ⇒ 00:20:28.180 Kelly Piatek: Basically, this screenshot.
253 00:20:28.290 ⇒ 00:20:32.659 Kelly Piatek: To you guys, of that, and as well as the, the, you know.
254 00:20:32.860 ⇒ 00:20:48.880 Kelly Piatek: here are all the clients, fixed variable, you know, and what it looks like it’s going to be billed for the month, and you guys can just take a look at the email, maybe, and just say yes or no, and then we can keep the meeting if you want to keep the meeting, or if you decide, let’s pause the meeting until Monday the 1st, or whatever you guys want to do.
255 00:20:48.880 ⇒ 00:20:49.730 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, perfect.
256 00:20:50.230 ⇒ 00:21:03.350 Uttam Kumaran: That’s great. For me, the biggest thing is just a reminder, that way on Mondays, we’re not scrambling, and then that way, at least if I see it on Friday, I can start to sort of circle around anything. So that’s… that’s… that’s the main… main reason for me.
257 00:21:03.610 ⇒ 00:21:05.309 Rico Rejoso: So… Okay, perfect.
258 00:21:05.920 ⇒ 00:21:15.079 Kelly Piatek: Okay. Yeah, and I know end of month is always more tricky, because with the mid-month, obviously you have the two weeks after to kind of catch up if somebody…
259 00:21:15.350 ⇒ 00:21:18.750 Kelly Piatek: you know, forgot to book a couple things. You have that catch-up period, but…
260 00:21:18.750 ⇒ 00:21:19.180 Uttam Kumaran: Yes.
261 00:21:19.180 ⇒ 00:21:23.179 Kelly Piatek: end of month. It’s a different beast, so… Okay.
262 00:21:23.730 ⇒ 00:21:24.670 Kelly Piatek: Well…
263 00:21:25.120 ⇒ 00:21:38.099 Kelly Piatek: if you guys have any questions or any… anything, let me know. Otherwise, I guess my plan is either Sunday or first thing Monday, my time, which is maybe Sunday night your time, I will pull the…
264 00:21:38.190 ⇒ 00:21:50.039 Kelly Piatek: pull the final hours and send those, invoices that we talked about out. As I said, Eden Health is automatic, and then, so really, it’s just, what, defaults, insomnia…
265 00:21:50.550 ⇒ 00:21:58.579 Kelly Piatek: default in insomnia, I think, right? Yeah. Because Eden Health is automatic, and, Pool Parts2Go and Hype Access,
266 00:21:58.860 ⇒ 00:22:01.259 Kelly Piatek: Are on hold, kind of, at the moment.
267 00:22:02.660 ⇒ 00:22:03.230 Kelly Piatek: Yeah.
268 00:22:04.450 ⇒ 00:22:08.260 Uttam Kumaran: But I’ll send that to you guys with the summary, so… Okay, okay, great.
269 00:22:09.130 ⇒ 00:22:09.850 Kelly Piatek: Okay.
270 00:22:09.850 ⇒ 00:22:10.610 Uttam Kumaran: Alright.
271 00:22:11.170 ⇒ 00:22:12.529 Kelly Piatek: Well, thank you, guys!
272 00:22:12.530 ⇒ 00:22:15.780 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, appreciate the late call then, Kelly.
273 00:22:15.780 ⇒ 00:22:25.630 Kelly Piatek: Not a… not a problem. As I said, we’re Spanish, so my kids only, like, just go to bed at 10, so for me, this is not even that… not even… not even late.
274 00:22:27.040 ⇒ 00:22:29.050 Uttam Kumaran: All right. Well, thanks so much, talk to you soon.
275 00:22:29.050 ⇒ 00:22:30.690 Kelly Piatek: Yeah, absolutely. Take care.
276 00:22:30.690 ⇒ 00:22:31.360 Rico Rejoso: Thanks, guys.
277 00:22:31.360 ⇒ 00:22:31.770 Kelly Piatek: Bye.
