WEBVTT
1 00:00:09.760 ⇒ 00:00:10.900 Uttam Kumaran: Hey, dude.
2 00:00:11.090 ⇒ 00:00:11.800 Brylle Girang: Hey!
3 00:00:12.640 ⇒ 00:00:16.779 Brylle Girang: Yeah, so this is about our conversation in the Delivery Leads channel. I just wanted.
4 00:00:16.780 ⇒ 00:00:17.710 Uttam Kumaran: Yes.
5 00:00:17.710 ⇒ 00:00:20.639 Brylle Girang: talk directly. But yeah, thanks for the feedback, I think…
6 00:00:21.040 ⇒ 00:00:28.739 Brylle Girang: I’m going to app my aunt when it comes to actually being on the floor and working with other people. I think my…
7 00:00:28.990 ⇒ 00:00:34.759 Brylle Girang: I was thinking about it, and my main gap right now is I’m focusing too much on building things, and not
8 00:00:34.910 ⇒ 00:00:38.690 Brylle Girang: Not enough connecting with our people and actually teaching them stuff.
9 00:00:39.260 ⇒ 00:00:44.320 Uttam Kumaran: I just think you’re gonna have… you have to do both. Like, it’s such a jam, dude, but, like, I…
10 00:00:44.880 ⇒ 00:00:57.269 Uttam Kumaran: the moment you roll off, I… because we’re the only people on delivery leadership, like, on the higher level, right? So the moment you take your foot off gas, then I have to take it on.
11 00:00:57.430 ⇒ 00:01:02.490 Uttam Kumaran: So, unfortunately, you have to just do… you have to do both.
12 00:01:02.490 ⇒ 00:01:03.070 Brylle Girang: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13 00:01:03.310 ⇒ 00:01:06.429 Uttam Kumaran: And you have to timebox really, really well, dude.
14 00:01:06.940 ⇒ 00:01:07.660 Brylle Girang: Yeah, yeah.
15 00:01:07.660 ⇒ 00:01:10.599 Uttam Kumaran: Just assume you’re gonna have 2 or 3 hours of…
16 00:01:10.710 ⇒ 00:01:19.769 Uttam Kumaran: just going around and teaching, and assume the rest of your time is building, but also, like, I…
17 00:01:20.010 ⇒ 00:01:30.130 Uttam Kumaran: ideally, you kind of want that to be 50-50 or split, so lean on me and, like, keep leaning on folks to help you on the building side, but I know it’s tough, I just…
18 00:01:30.560 ⇒ 00:01:37.710 Uttam Kumaran: I run… I run out of time every day on everything, so that’s why I’m like… even the videos, I’m like, well…
19 00:01:38.780 ⇒ 00:01:45.669 Uttam Kumaran: I’m like, I’m not getting… I mean, the platform stuff, nobody’s helping me on that. Like, neither of those two folks are doing anything.
20 00:01:45.830 ⇒ 00:01:50.560 Uttam Kumaran: Right now, so it’s like, I’m kind of… I don’t know what I’m gonna do there, but, like.
21 00:01:50.860 ⇒ 00:01:52.719 Uttam Kumaran: I honestly don’t know if… I don’t…
22 00:01:52.860 ⇒ 00:02:01.850 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t really feel like either of them are gonna end up, like, helping us long-term, not, like, in terms of platform stuff. Not sure yet. In terms of…
23 00:02:02.030 ⇒ 00:02:08.110 Uttam Kumaran: And then, so that way, I’m like, okay, so then I’m… because I’m supporting you, I’m supporting a bunch of other teams on the platform side.
24 00:02:08.330 ⇒ 00:02:17.360 Uttam Kumaran: So then it just kind of gets me in a jam, because then, I think the biggest thing is, if I can… if I have to be in a meeting, I can only do one thing, and it’s… I can only basically do the meeting.
25 00:02:17.360 ⇒ 00:02:17.800 Brylle Girang: Yeah.
26 00:02:17.800 ⇒ 00:02:23.420 Uttam Kumaran: You know, and so that’s why even, like, I spent 45 minutes with Zoran teaching him how to, like.
27 00:02:24.110 ⇒ 00:02:25.110 Uttam Kumaran: Prompt.
28 00:02:25.280 ⇒ 00:02:31.380 Uttam Kumaran: And I’m like, holy shit. I’m like, I’m happy to do that, it gives me a lot of joy, but don’t get me wrong, but I’m like…
29 00:02:31.640 ⇒ 00:02:36.020 Uttam Kumaran: Holy shit, like… You should call him.
30 00:02:36.460 ⇒ 00:02:49.010 Brylle Girang: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, thanks, thanks, I think that’s helpful. But yeah, I think one thing that I’m going to ask is, how can I help you, like, prioritize the videos? And I’m asking this because I know that the platform stuff is important, but…
31 00:02:49.240 ⇒ 00:03:06.520 Brylle Girang: I’m just looking at LND as long-term, without you actually working on it, I’m going to be stuck. So, if you need me to speak with Sam and Miranda, I know that you want to take that on, but let me know. Have you, like, have you talked with Miranda and Sam directly about, like, this?
32 00:03:06.790 ⇒ 00:03:08.200 Uttam Kumaran: Yes. Oh.
33 00:03:08.200 ⇒ 00:03:10.189 Brylle Girang: That sucks, but…
34 00:03:10.600 ⇒ 00:03:11.220 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
35 00:03:11.490 ⇒ 00:03:13.269 Brylle Girang: Yeah, so, I think…
36 00:03:13.270 ⇒ 00:03:18.760 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t want you… don’t… I don’t want you to worry about them on terms of platform, because… They’re…
37 00:03:19.100 ⇒ 00:03:22.600 Uttam Kumaran: They are racing against me automating everything.
38 00:03:22.600 ⇒ 00:03:23.150 Brylle Girang: Yeah.
39 00:03:23.150 ⇒ 00:03:31.979 Uttam Kumaran: So, like, whether they help me or they don’t help me, it doesn’t matter for me. I’m gonna skip them. I’m gonna skip it. So… but more, it’s like…
40 00:03:32.360 ⇒ 00:03:38.700 Uttam Kumaran: you know, if… if any of these… if I flag these, like, issues where clearly someone is having a gap.
41 00:03:38.900 ⇒ 00:03:45.749 Uttam Kumaran: I would love you to be the first line of defense. Kayla is doing this really well on the recruiting side, like, I’m exiting a lot of things.
42 00:03:46.310 ⇒ 00:03:48.809 Uttam Kumaran: That way, like.
43 00:03:49.230 ⇒ 00:03:54.109 Uttam Kumaran: I can move into the role of, like, for example, you know, what I mentioned today was, like.
44 00:03:54.300 ⇒ 00:03:55.690 Uttam Kumaran: Hey, we have…
45 00:03:56.030 ⇒ 00:04:02.630 Uttam Kumaran: we… I’m… you need to get helped on a… people need to get help daily basis to hit the floor, and then the project review meeting. Ideally, like.
46 00:04:02.740 ⇒ 00:04:11.289 Uttam Kumaran: I’m separated out of that, because then, really, my job in that project… in the project review or service review is to, like, really hammer it down.
47 00:04:11.620 ⇒ 00:04:15.840 Uttam Kumaran: And then hand off, sort of like, okay, everybody’s getting up to speed.
48 00:04:16.540 ⇒ 00:04:18.409 Uttam Kumaran: You know, to you and your team, so…
49 00:04:19.779 ⇒ 00:04:22.449 Brylle Girang: Okay, okay, yeah, that helps, that helps.
50 00:04:22.580 ⇒ 00:04:28.759 Brylle Girang: Yeah, I’m hoping my auntie, I just sent out a bunch of invites right now, just to make sure that we finish
51 00:04:29.030 ⇒ 00:04:35.070 Brylle Girang: all of the baseline stuff this week, but yeah, that helps. Okay. Okay? Okay, cool.
52 00:04:35.070 ⇒ 00:04:38.410 Uttam Kumaran: Dude, your stuff… the stuff looks really good. I’m just, like, I think we’re…
53 00:04:38.560 ⇒ 00:04:45.800 Uttam Kumaran: we’re just jammed, because I can only work… I’m working, like, 15, 16 hours, I don’t have much more time, so…
54 00:04:45.990 ⇒ 00:04:48.560 Uttam Kumaran: I will, like, I’m gonna… I’m gonna put…
55 00:04:48.790 ⇒ 00:04:51.749 Uttam Kumaran: I’m gonna put an hour… I’ll do it right now.
56 00:04:52.580 ⇒ 00:04:54.739 Uttam Kumaran: I’m gonna do an hour for the videos.
57 00:04:56.970 ⇒ 00:05:11.180 Uttam Kumaran: And I will record it today. But, like, help me… help me out in the other stuff, like, if… I’m just gonna Slack, like, even tomorrow, like, the playbook and offer development, like, I would love… we don’t even have to do that, or… I would say scrap that.
58 00:05:11.390 ⇒ 00:05:25.209 Uttam Kumaran: And then just make sure this is, like, close out allocations, you know? Maybe we just do that. Keep hammering allocations until it’s done, and then we’ll move on to the next thing. Okay. I think the SLs are not, like, they’re overwhelmed, or… I don’t know, I don’t care, whatever it is.
59 00:05:25.900 ⇒ 00:05:26.710 Uttam Kumaran: blank.
60 00:05:27.160 ⇒ 00:05:31.869 Uttam Kumaran: We gotta have… they need to do it. Like, I don’t know, there’s no choice. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
61 00:05:31.870 ⇒ 00:05:32.250 Brylle Girang: I know.
62 00:05:32.250 ⇒ 00:05:33.950 Uttam Kumaran: So… Okay. Yeah.
63 00:05:33.950 ⇒ 00:05:35.610 Brylle Girang: Gotcha. Clear. Clear.
64 00:05:35.810 ⇒ 00:05:38.339 Brylle Girang: Okay. Thank you. See you on the Project Review.
65 00:05:38.750 ⇒ 00:05:39.860 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, perfect, bye.
