1 00:00:15.320 ⇒ 00:00:16.500 Lisa Whall: Hey, Bestie.
2 00:00:19.350 ⇒ 00:00:21.620 Lisa Whall: Oh, I can’t hear you. Shit.
3 00:00:21.750 ⇒ 00:00:22.850 Lisa Whall: Maybe it’s me.
4 00:00:27.960 ⇒ 00:00:30.500 Lisa Whall: Hmm. So… Okay?
5 00:00:30.660 ⇒ 00:00:34.850 Lisa Whall: You’re not on mute. Oh, is it you or me?
6 00:00:45.930 ⇒ 00:00:47.150 Lisa Whall: Can you hear me?
7 00:01:27.060 ⇒ 00:01:28.460 Lisa Whall: Do not scroll.
8 00:01:40.640 ⇒ 00:01:41.810 Lisa Whall: Can you hear me?
9 00:02:01.170 ⇒ 00:02:02.470 Brylle Girang: Can you hear me now?
10 00:02:03.530 ⇒ 00:02:06.579 Brylle Girang: Oh, perfect. I’m really sorry about that. I don’t know why my…
11 00:02:06.580 ⇒ 00:02:19.740 Lisa Whall: Sorry about it. It happened to me the other day with Udom on my first day. I rarely use my headphones, and I had them on, and he’s like, I’m like, oh my god, I have my stupid headphones on.
12 00:02:21.330 ⇒ 00:02:27.439 Brylle Girang: That’s crazy. Yeah, so I just wanted to, give you a rundown of the certifications program that you have.
13 00:02:27.750 ⇒ 00:02:30.830 Brylle Girang: Yes. I’m going to share my screen real quick.
14 00:02:32.250 ⇒ 00:02:38.460 Brylle Girang: Okay, perfect. So, we have, like, the certification here.
15 00:02:38.820 ⇒ 00:02:40.530 Brylle Girang: Okay.
16 00:02:40.530 ⇒ 00:02:42.120 Lisa Whall: Oh, great! Okay, awesome.
17 00:02:42.290 ⇒ 00:02:43.010 Lisa Whall: Yeah, so.
18 00:02:43.120 ⇒ 00:02:50.640 Brylle Girang: One thing that L&D wants to do is that I don’t just want to ask people, like, hey, take the certifications.
19 00:02:50.940 ⇒ 00:03:00.480 Brylle Girang: work on it, etc. What I wanted to make sure is that we give them, like, an easier path to make sure that they can get those certifications ASAP.
20 00:03:00.680 ⇒ 00:03:08.390 Brylle Girang: So we’re trying to, you know, give them the complete steps. What do you need to learn? Where do you need to go to learn this stuff?
21 00:03:08.720 ⇒ 00:03:15.069 Brylle Girang: After learning, where do you… where do you get the certifications? Basically, everything that they need
22 00:03:15.240 ⇒ 00:03:22.180 Brylle Girang: to do in order to be certified. It’s being delivered in a silver platter, not directly.
23 00:03:22.500 ⇒ 00:03:27.880 Brylle Girang: The… the main reward system that we have is that
24 00:03:28.260 ⇒ 00:03:34.150 Brylle Girang: One, if they get certified, the cost will be reimbursed by Brainforge.
25 00:03:34.360 ⇒ 00:03:34.830 Lisa Whall: Perfect.
26 00:03:34.830 ⇒ 00:03:42.489 Brylle Girang: then 2… If they get certified, we’ll give them, like, a bonus. 400.
27 00:03:42.630 ⇒ 00:03:48.210 Brylle Girang: Free money! That’s the main motivational factor that we’re trying to push.
28 00:03:48.410 ⇒ 00:03:51.459 Brylle Girang: You’re gonna get certified, you’re gonna get paid.
29 00:03:51.460 ⇒ 00:03:52.759 Lisa Whall: Gonna help your career.
30 00:03:52.760 ⇒ 00:04:01.299 Brylle Girang: it’s gonna help your creator, it’s a win-win for everyone here. And for Rain Forge, the cost of them being certified is…
31 00:04:01.500 ⇒ 00:04:05.049 Brylle Girang: Super, super small compared to, like, our revenue.
32 00:04:05.590 ⇒ 00:04:08.549 Brylle Girang: That’s going to gen… that’s going to be generated, right?
33 00:04:09.320 ⇒ 00:04:12.790 Brylle Girang: Got it. So, that is it. So, I think all…
34 00:04:13.540 ⇒ 00:04:16.310 Brylle Girang: Yeah, so for now, we haven’t received
35 00:04:16.519 ⇒ 00:04:26.029 Brylle Girang: any requests from people, like, proactively, hey, can I get certified? Can I take this on? It’s mostly just us pushing the certifications over to them.
36 00:04:26.250 ⇒ 00:04:29.200 Brylle Girang: Right now, we’re focusing on Omni and Snowflake.
37 00:04:29.200 ⇒ 00:04:33.170 Lisa Whall: Yep, that’s cool. I’m gonna put… so…
38 00:04:33.610 ⇒ 00:04:35.820 Lisa Whall: Go ahead, I’m sorry, didn’t mean to cut you off.
39 00:04:35.820 ⇒ 00:04:43.610 Brylle Girang: Yeah, I’m pretty sure that once these are out for the quarter, we’re going to explore more certifications.
40 00:04:44.810 ⇒ 00:04:48.569 Lisa Whall: Okay, cool. Perfect, thank you. That’s awesome.
41 00:04:48.730 ⇒ 00:04:56.449 Lisa Whall: I love that you guys have so much in place, it’s just… it’s just fantastic. So, here’s how I want to work it in.
42 00:04:56.620 ⇒ 00:05:01.189 Lisa Whall: I want to… and tell me if, you know, I’m open for this.
43 00:05:01.190 ⇒ 00:05:01.650 Brylle Girang: Okay.
44 00:05:01.650 ⇒ 00:05:18.000 Lisa Whall: I just… I’m going to touch on partnerships and talk about Snowflake and Omni being our focus, and then AWS and Google we’re actually going after now, too. But we don’t want to spread people too thin. I just want to say that part of the partnership, because I don’t think people understand
45 00:05:18.150 ⇒ 00:05:21.329 Lisa Whall: That, in order for us to be partners.
46 00:05:21.590 ⇒ 00:05:35.150 Lisa Whall: we need people certified, so I’m not going to talk about the process or anything, I’m just going to say under partnerships that we need people to get certified. So I just want to emphasize, I’m not going to go off on a tangent, but I want them to understand the connection.
47 00:05:35.340 ⇒ 00:05:35.920 Brylle Girang: Yeah.
48 00:05:36.330 ⇒ 00:05:50.740 Lisa Whall: you know, that it’s not just nice to have, like, we have to… we have to have people certified, or we will never be partners with any of these people. I mean, we were just on with Google yesterday. It was funny, because, you know, this guy’s at Google, he’s a super nice guy.
49 00:05:50.900 ⇒ 00:05:54.970 Lisa Whall: And, he’s like, yeah, you only need 13 people certified.
50 00:05:56.320 ⇒ 00:06:12.889 Lisa Whall: Yeah, it’s super easy. He’s like, it’s super easy. You only need 13 certifications, or I don’t know if it’s individuals or number of certs, hopefully it’s number of certs, so we can have somebody, you know, double, triple up on it. Yeah. But until we have that, like, we’re not official.
51 00:06:13.110 ⇒ 00:06:14.000 Brylle Girang: Yeah.
52 00:06:14.120 ⇒ 00:06:23.929 Lisa Whall: And Snowflake is pretty easy, actually. There’s… we don’t have to have a million, so let’s focus. And Omni, obviously, we had that whole back and forth, this week with,
53 00:06:24.170 ⇒ 00:06:42.779 Lisa Whall: Savannah. So, I just wanted to say, hey, we’re… these are our four main partners, but Snowflake and Omni are our focus. We do need people certified in order for us to solidify our partners, talk to Burrell, that’s it, that’s just a one-liner. But I want them to see the connection between the partnerships
54 00:06:43.020 ⇒ 00:06:46.320 Lisa Whall: Is that cool? Are you cool with that? Just, like, yeah.
55 00:06:46.320 ⇒ 00:07:00.329 Brylle Girang: Yeah, definitely. I just made some changes in the presentation order. I think it’s going to be best that after my presentation, you go, GTM updates go, so that it’s going to be a smooth handoff, and people will retain it better.
56 00:07:00.790 ⇒ 00:07:14.980 Lisa Whall: Perfect, perfect, yeah. And then, that’s my other piece, is just to have introductions. If anybody knows anybody at any of these four companies, let me know, let’s talk, let’s use our network. That’s it. That’s all I got this week.
57 00:07:15.580 ⇒ 00:07:18.680 Brylle Girang: Perfect. You’ll crush it. Thank you for this week, Lisa.
58 00:07:18.900 ⇒ 00:07:20.410 Lisa Whall: Thank you, we’ll see you in a few.
59 00:07:20.410 ⇒ 00:07:21.080 Brylle Girang: Bye-bye.
60 00:07:21.270 ⇒ 00:07:21.790 Lisa Whall: Bye!
