[00:20] (20.88s)
How we doing this morning? Doing doing
[00:23] (23.52s)
well, dude. Got the morning coffee and
[00:26] (26.32s)
ready to get the customers to start
[00:28] (28.32s)
fully paying, right? If you watched our
[00:30] (30.00s)
last few videos, you know that we have a
[00:32] (32.08s)
couple customers already paid with a
[00:33] (33.92s)
transfer fee Li signed and also we
[00:36] (36.16s)
finished building out the MVP and got
[00:37] (37.76s)
amount of iterations in. But with those,
[00:40] (40.64s)
we processed about 200 GB of footage
[00:43] (43.20s)
with them first so we can get a round
[00:44] (44.40s)
amount of feedback and see how we can
[00:46] (46.16s)
make the app better. And now we just
[00:48] (48.24s)
need to process terabytes on terabytes
[00:51] (51.60s)
of footage through. But if you're new to
[00:53] (53.04s)
the channel for our startup Clover,
[00:55] (55.04s)
essentially what it does is that it
[00:56] (56.72s)
allows media teams or filmmakers to
[00:58] (58.56s)
search through hundreds of hours of
[00:59] (59.92s)
footage all through all their media with
[01:01] (61.92s)
natural language. So you can search for
[01:03] (63.12s)
like happy moments, you can search for
[01:04] (64.56s)
something like coffee mug, you can
[01:05] (65.84s)
literally search for anything and then
[01:07] (67.04s)
it will basically find the right parts.
[01:08] (68.48s)
So they don't have to spend hours
[01:09] (69.84s)
looking for those footage, right? You've
[01:11] (71.44s)
been stressed or what? Yeah, definitely
[01:13] (73.44s)
definitely been stressed lately just cuz
[01:14] (74.88s)
there's so many things going on. But
[01:16] (76.80s)
it's like good stress though. When we
[01:18] (78.88s)
were back in Vegas before we got funded,
[01:20] (80.64s)
it was stress about not knowing what to
[01:22] (82.00s)
do. But now it's more about, wow,
[01:24] (84.56s)
there's so much stuff I want to do with
[01:26] (86.64s)
the videos, with uh the startup. So, has
[01:30] (90.00s)
been stressful, but can't complain, man.
[01:31] (91.92s)
This is the the name of the game for
[01:33] (93.28s)
building a business, right? But today
[01:35] (95.76s)
got a lot of code to write still like
[01:37] (97.84s)
always, and still getting on calls with
[01:39] (99.92s)
a couple other new potential customers,
[01:41] (101.84s)
trying to grow the platform more and get
[01:43] (103.76s)
more users so we can make uh better
[01:45] (105.28s)
iterations.
[01:51] (111.44s)
in the market for like
[01:53] (113.36s)
[Music]
[01:55] (115.68s)
So, what's this different camera red
[01:58] (118.08s)
footage
[01:59] (119.16s)
situation? It's pretty tough, man. I
[02:01] (121.60s)
mean, basically the customer that we
[02:03] (123.52s)
have has a bunch of footage that is red
[02:06] (126.00s)
footage. So, basically that's a type of
[02:07] (127.52s)
camera that's used for like Hollywood
[02:08] (128.72s)
movies. So, we have a big hard drive
[02:11] (131.44s)
full of like terabytes of this type of
[02:12] (132.88s)
footage and we need to process it.
[02:15] (135.16s)
So, we're trying to get this conversion
[02:17] (137.28s)
to work so that we can see the frame and
[02:19] (139.04s)
and like, you know, run our processing
[02:20] (140.56s)
on it. But it's
[02:23] (143.80s)
Dude, I nearly just dropped everything,
[02:26] (146.40s)
bro. Bro, that would have been so bad.
[02:28] (148.88s)
Did you see that, Harry? Yeah, dude. It
[02:30] (150.88s)
was right there, bro. Honestly, you
[02:32] (152.40s)
always learn there's levels to this.
[02:33] (153.84s)
Like, this camera I'm recording on is a
[02:36] (156.96s)
Sony camera and it shoots log footage.
[02:39] (159.36s)
And before this, I didn't even know that
[02:41] (161.68s)
there's actually footage that is, I
[02:45] (165.04s)
guess, more advanced than log footage.
[02:47] (167.36s)
So now we got to deal with this. But I
[02:49] (169.68s)
mean, that's kind of how it is with
[02:50] (170.64s)
coding. A lot of times you can try to
[02:52] (172.24s)
plan everything out, but until you start
[02:54] (174.00s)
processing stuff and running stuff, you
[02:55] (175.92s)
won't even know that uh these issues
[02:57] (177.76s)
exist before. But just got to knock it
[02:59] (179.60s)
out one one step at a time.
[03:07] (187.04s)
All right, that wasn't They were just
[03:08] (188.72s)
checking out the back. Let's see. How do
[03:10] (190.08s)
we get to the next one? The only one
[03:11] (191.52s)
keying my shit's my girlfriend. And
[03:14] (194.00s)
Alex, how did you get this car, man? So,
[03:15] (195.68s)
you launch and then what happened? Well,
[03:17] (197.92s)
uh, I've been building my business for a
[03:19] (199.44s)
few years. I launched my first software
[03:21] (201.84s)
2 months ago. Uh, and we took off. Even
[03:24] (204.48s)
though I'm paying Elon $5,000 for the
[03:26] (206.48s)
API, we took off. We got a whole bunch
[03:28] (208.40s)
of users right off the rip. And I, uh,
[03:30] (210.64s)
rewarded myself with a Cyber Truck.
[03:32] (212.88s)
That's that's that's what it's about
[03:34] (214.40s)
right here. There. That's my one my
[03:35] (215.84s)
first car I ever bought myself. That's
[03:37] (217.12s)
it. Now I'm done buying myself stuff for
[03:38] (218.64s)
the rest of my life. There we go. I'm
[03:40] (220.00s)
done. Dude, this it feels like you're
[03:41] (221.76s)
driving like a video game car with a
[03:43] (223.28s)
with a steering wheel. Yeah. Isn't it
[03:44] (224.72s)
sick? Holy [ย __ย ] Now you're good. You
[03:46] (226.88s)
don't even You don't Your hands don't
[03:48] (228.00s)
even need to be there. Keep it in your
[03:51] (231.12s)
This is a full self-driving right now.
[03:52] (232.72s)
Yeah. Full self-driving. It's going to
[03:54] (234.24s)
do everything. You don't have to worry
[03:55] (235.28s)
about a thing. This is like a Oh my
[03:57] (237.20s)
gosh. It's like a trippy Whimo
[03:58] (238.72s)
experience. I know. It's like a trippy
[04:00] (240.64s)
trippy Whimo experience.
[04:03] (243.62s)
[Music]
[04:10] (250.48s)
How's your stuff coming, bro? You always
[04:12] (252.24s)
look so stressed. I think I have I think
[04:14] (254.96s)
I have an angry resting face. Sensiles
[04:18] (258.00s)
doesn't work. So, don't worry. It's
[04:20] (260.56s)
broken. Decent day of coding. I mean,
[04:22] (262.48s)
just moving the ball ball forward,
[04:23] (263.76s)
right? Not a lot of like new stuff
[04:25] (265.28s)
happening today. Uh just coding up stuff
[04:27] (267.92s)
that user requesting. And right now
[04:30] (270.24s)
basically what I'm working on is
[04:32] (272.16s)
eventually we can search through all
[04:33] (273.84s)
this video data already, right? But what
[04:36] (276.80s)
we think will be really cool also the
[04:38] (278.80s)
users have requested and something I
[04:40] (280.16s)
would use too as well is I'm working on
[04:42] (282.32s)
this whole flow where you can eventually
[04:43] (283.92s)
chat with all your video documents and
[04:45] (285.52s)
probably going to take like a couple
[04:46] (286.72s)
more days getting it together as well.
[04:48] (288.48s)
But again man, this is the best part
[04:49] (289.68s)
about Founders Inc. right now Saturday
[04:51] (291.36s)
at like 8:43. Got my housemate Patrick
[04:53] (293.92s)
there building. Got Max back there
[04:55] (295.84s)
building. Everyone is still building and
[04:57] (297.92s)
it really does feel like an environment
[04:59] (299.28s)
where we aren't working, you know, we're
[05:01] (301.28s)
just having fun and enjoying the journey
[05:02] (302.88s)
together. But what I also do love about
[05:05] (305.12s)
this product as I talked to a couple
[05:06] (306.80s)
other founders today is that I can dog
[05:10] (310.08s)
feed. I think that's the term exactly is
[05:12] (312.32s)
that I will be a user of this. So I'm
[05:14] (314.40s)
going to be using this product on a
[05:16] (316.08s)
daily basis as I start making these mini
[05:17] (317.84s)
docs. That also basically closes the
[05:19] (319.76s)
iteration loops, right? Because don't
[05:21] (321.68s)
get me wrong, taunted customers are
[05:23] (323.12s)
great and I think that's important to
[05:24] (324.72s)
kind of go through iterations of taunted
[05:26] (326.72s)
customers and getting feedback from
[05:28] (328.00s)
them. But now I can just play around
[05:29] (329.68s)
with my own product and test the results
[05:31] (331.12s)
and see if that's something I like. Now
[05:32] (332.64s)
that's even a faster iteration by me
[05:34] (334.64s)
just testing it by myself every single
[05:36] (336.40s)
day. But it's already late. Uh so going
[05:39] (339.84s)
to go home, get some good sleep, and get
[05:43] (343.76s)
back at it tomorrow.
[05:53] (353.44s)
So, we're finally here with the magical
[05:55] (355.20s)
toy CEO
[05:57] (357.16s)
Fatimine. How's the fundrais going? Can
[05:59] (359.44s)
you share any details about it yet? Uh,
[06:01] (361.68s)
we actually closed our fundraising last
[06:03] (363.52s)
week. It's It's more than what we
[06:05] (365.60s)
thought. We over subscribed around. So,
[06:07] (367.60s)
pretty excited. We got more interest
[06:09] (369.52s)
than we initially anticipated, which is
[06:11] (371.76s)
a great sign. So, pretty excited to
[06:13] (373.52s)
start building now. Nice, dude. You got
[06:15] (375.44s)
to show the product, bro. So, how does
[06:16] (376.72s)
magical toys work? Hey, Eevee. Oh, did
[06:19] (379.52s)
you know your brain is kind of like a
[06:21] (381.04s)
superhero? Dino, can you teach me how to
[06:23] (383.92s)
speak Spanish? See, Eevee, let's start
[06:26] (386.56s)
with something fun. Hello in Spanish is
[06:28] (388.96s)
hola. Can you say hola like you're
[06:31] (391.12s)
greeting a silly squirrel?
[06:34] (394.24s)
Ola. So, this is the office space.
[06:36] (396.96s)
That's the side. All the dinos over
[06:39] (399.12s)
here. Actually, follow me. Oh, we going
[06:40] (400.40s)
to show that to you? Yeah. No way. This
[06:42] (402.48s)
is going to be sick. So this is the
[06:44] (404.48s)
secret production facility. As you can
[06:46] (406.64s)
see, we have tanners everywhere. Wow. To
[06:49] (409.52s)
get shipped out here. So this is the
[06:50] (410.80s)
packaging. Yep. This is the packaging
[06:52] (412.56s)
for now. As you can see, these are all
[06:54] (414.40s)
ready to get shipped out sometime
[06:55] (415.92s)
tomorrow. And you're you're a Patrick.
[06:57] (417.52s)
You're just working on what? We're going
[06:59] (419.68s)
on right now, bro. And we also all live
[07:01] (421.68s)
together before Fatine moves out in a
[07:04] (424.32s)
couple days. I'm going to take over his
[07:05] (425.60s)
room. Yeah. Don't leave, Fatimine. Don't
[07:07] (427.36s)
leave. But I'm pretty excited to move to
[07:09] (429.36s)
a new apartment. So
[07:14] (434.08s)
Yeah, my boy. Get to play, huh? Bro, I'm
[07:16] (436.64s)
so hungry. The
[07:19] (439.00s)
fast ready to eat, bro. Look at this
[07:21] (441.60s)
[ย __ย ] bro. Bro, bro,
[07:25] (445.36s)
if this ain't a good time, I don't know
[07:26] (446.96s)
what is, bro. If you ain't happy right
[07:28] (448.88s)
now, how about demolish this? Hey, man.
[07:34] (454.64s)
You scheduled an appointment yet? I am.
[07:36] (456.96s)
I'm actually uh I just scheduled it.
[07:38] (458.88s)
This UX is pretty clean, though, for
[07:40] (460.16s)
this brand Superpower. I had to schedule
[07:41] (461.52s)
my appointment. So, got to get my blood
[07:43] (463.20s)
drawn and get my biological age. But
[07:46] (466.48s)
basically, I'm partnered with this brand
[07:48] (468.56s)
called Superpower. They'll show you like
[07:50] (470.00s)
your biological age or superpower score
[07:52] (472.08s)
and just a couple other like health
[07:53] (473.60s)
metrics, which I'm pretty excited to see
[07:55] (475.36s)
what the results are because it's funny.
[07:57] (477.52s)
This brand actually reached out to me uh
[08:00] (480.32s)
two weeks ago and when I was eating
[08:02] (482.24s)
lunch with Jason uh who's also my tech
[08:04] (484.16s)
CEO, I think a lot of you guys probably
[08:05] (485.52s)
seen his like reals before. He's like a
[08:07] (487.28s)
raging CEO. It was like very very funny
[08:08] (488.96s)
content, very different from mine. But
[08:10] (490.88s)
we're just talking about productivity
[08:11] (491.92s)
and stuff and he was like, "Oh yeah, I
[08:13] (493.52s)
actually um took this test from
[08:15] (495.12s)
Superpower. They were like really cool
[08:16] (496.64s)
people." And literally that same day uh
[08:19] (499.04s)
they reached out to me and said, "Hey,
[08:20] (500.24s)
do you want to get like a free test
[08:21] (501.28s)
going? We're also interested like kind
[08:22] (502.80s)
of partnering up for a video and stuff.
[08:24] (504.72s)
So now I'm going through this whole flow
[08:26] (506.80s)
and I'll probably in the next couple
[08:28] (508.08s)
videos share about like the results of
[08:29] (509.52s)
like my biological age and like
[08:31] (511.04s)
different things like that as well." Got
[08:32] (512.40s)
some bombers in the back. Oh, of course,
[08:34] (514.80s)
bro. Now, now we got to reshoot the
[08:36] (516.48s)
segment. No, I'm kidding. But yeah,
[08:38] (518.32s)
going to go through this, get tested,
[08:40] (520.24s)
see where it's at, where my baseline's
[08:41] (521.84s)
at. You also want to get one, right? I'd
[08:44] (524.00s)
be down. Thanks to uh Super Power for
[08:46] (526.00s)
sponsoring this video. I appreciate them
[08:47] (527.76s)
supporting the channel so I can be more
[08:49] (529.44s)
consistent, get more camera gear, and
[08:50] (530.88s)
make better content.
[08:55] (535.84s)
Bro, what is this, bro? Who made this
[08:58] (538.00s)
stuff? This is fire. Got to put it out,
[09:03] (543.68s)
How did you make this, bro? You code
[09:05] (545.36s)
this up?
[09:07] (547.28s)
Vibe coding. Vibe coding is the new
[09:09] (549.60s)
thing, dude.
[09:12] (552.48s)
Time in the future. People can also like
[09:14] (554.56s)
SSH into it. I'll just like stream this
[09:16] (556.72s)
for them. But I ain't going to do that
[09:18] (558.40s)
right now. I don't get paid enough, bro.
[09:19] (559.84s)
And there's like little like what is
[09:21] (561.20s)
this as keys? Yeah, it's literally even
[09:24] (564.24s)
implement this, bro. Actually, I don't
[09:26] (566.64s)
remember. All I remember is like I
[09:28] (568.80s)
wanted to download the latest videos we
[09:30] (570.48s)
had on YouTube. I turned it into ASI
[09:33] (573.04s)
inspired by Mischief's film thing. How's
[09:35] (575.36s)
it dude? Make our own version of this.
[09:38] (578.80s)
Where's Where's one of me, bro? There's
[09:40] (580.56s)
no love. No love for the new founders.
[09:42] (582.48s)
Hey, man. For a little sum. For a little
[09:43] (583.92s)
sum, I could make a loop through one of
[09:46] (586.00s)
your videos. Cash at me, bro. Cash at
[09:48] (588.16s)
me. Get you a VC that can, bro.
[09:56] (596.24s)
Code emails aren't really cooking right
[09:57] (597.76s)
now, man. Yeah. Yeah. But I think last
[10:01] (601.36s)
video we talked about we're starting
[10:03] (603.44s)
this code emo campaign using smart lead
[10:05] (605.60s)
and just trying to do more outbound. But
[10:07] (607.68s)
so far the responses hasn't really been
[10:09] (609.92s)
the best but I'm still learning more
[10:11] (611.60s)
about this. I have heard that a lot of
[10:14] (614.08s)
uh quick responses like code email takes
[10:16] (616.32s)
a while right but also I have heard like
[10:18] (618.24s)
another method of like writing a lot
[10:19] (619.52s)
more like tailor copy. So we're also
[10:21] (621.04s)
going to be working on that. But I think
[10:22] (622.72s)
right now it's still too early to tell
[10:25] (625.20s)
because we don't have enough data yet,
[10:26] (626.88s)
right? We need to do more coding
[10:28] (628.56s)
emailing get more volume here too
[10:30] (630.00s)
because right now the setup we're
[10:31] (631.76s)
running probably cost about like what
[10:32] (632.96s)
$150 a month Ryan. Is that right? Yeah.
[10:35] (635.28s)
Uh yeah, around there I think around
[10:36] (636.96s)
let's say 150. But let's say if I only
[10:39] (639.28s)
get one client a month from that 150
[10:41] (641.36s)
then it'll make it worth it, right? Then
[10:42] (642.40s)
I can basically make my money back. So
[10:44] (644.24s)
still too early to tell. Probably tweak
[10:45] (645.60s)
the copy a little bit, try it out and
[10:48] (648.24s)
see what happen. But this is I think the
[10:49] (649.84s)
name of the game of a startup, right?
[10:51] (651.12s)
You're always trying new things out, new
[10:52] (652.32s)
channels out and seeing which one will
[10:53] (653.44s)
work. a lot of times too just because
[10:55] (655.52s)
something is not working. Ryan and I
[10:57] (657.12s)
kind of change our mindset to be like
[10:58] (658.72s)
looking at everything as an experiment
[11:00] (660.16s)
so you don't feel like something failed
[11:01] (661.76s)
and again too. And each vlog I'll update
[11:05] (665.20s)
you guys how it goes and see if it's an
[11:06] (666.64s)
effective uh growth channel for us or
[11:09] (669.06s)
[Music]
[11:17] (677.96s)
not. Today's actually found in demo day
[11:21] (681.60s)
for the new bro to ship it. So, it's
[11:23] (683.04s)
going to be pretty crazy. That's why I'm
[11:24] (684.32s)
also wearing founders in hoodie going to
[11:26] (686.24s)
help out with uh devil day tonight. So,
[11:29] (689.12s)
according to effing, there's going to be
[11:30] (690.48s)
about like 500 people coming. And that's
[11:34] (694.48s)
also coding the jungle setup. You want
[11:36] (696.00s)
to show them, Ryan? Since now to move
[11:38] (698.48s)
everything around since uh at the main
[11:41] (701.20s)
stage, that's where we're going to be
[11:42] (702.24s)
doing the event at. I really have no
[11:44] (704.08s)
idea how you can fit 500 people. Ryan,
[11:45] (705.76s)
last time we had what, 300 for ours? I
[11:47] (707.44s)
think there's around 300. Yeah. But
[11:49] (709.92s)
today's a good day, man. coding just
[11:51] (711.44s)
doing doing some UI changes and also
[11:53] (713.92s)
adding this chatbot feature. Let me show
[11:55] (715.76s)
you guys who's who else is here right
[11:57] (717.60s)
now. We have Harry over here logged in.
[12:01] (721.04s)
Crack the 18-year-old engineer making it
[12:03] (723.84s)
happen. Alexa go share. What up, dude?
[12:08] (728.00s)
She's locked in over here. Bless Art and
[12:11] (731.28s)
the rest of the FA team.
[12:19] (739.76s)
So busy right now.
[12:22] (742.16s)
Dude, none of these people are real. I'm
[12:23] (743.44s)
not real, bro. Wait, my camera's not
[12:25] (745.36s)
focusing. What' you say? Are you frozen?
[12:27] (747.44s)
None of I'm frozen in time. Like ideal
[12:30] (750.40s)
thing for you. What What would you be
[12:31] (751.52s)
like searching for? You know, let's say
[12:32] (752.72s)
if you want to search for a specific
[12:34] (754.24s)
part. This is like a search query. What
[12:35] (755.68s)
What would you search for? Yeah, just
[12:37] (757.52s)
doing the thing, man. The whole game is
[12:40] (760.76s)
to talk to more customers. had a later
[12:44] (764.16s)
call today about like 8:45. So, I got on
[12:46] (766.88s)
a call with users and just been coding
[12:50] (770.08s)
and making content all day. Ryan, show
[12:52] (772.80s)
your screen. Your code's literally still
[12:54] (774.08s)
processing stuff right now.
[12:56] (776.88s)
Like, I was uh I was doing this
[12:58] (778.56s)
discovery call over here and Ryan just
[13:00] (780.40s)
over there coding. And that's really the
[13:01] (781.84s)
thing, man, is that I think a lot of
[13:03] (783.68s)
times like people on X and Twitter just
[13:05] (785.52s)
like try to glamorize everything and
[13:06] (786.96s)
everybody makes everything seem
[13:08] (788.08s)
fantastic. But just pull from a start.
[13:11] (791.20s)
The truth is majority of us like me and
[13:13] (793.28s)
Ryan right now, we're just grinding
[13:15] (795.68s)
every day trying to get to that one
[13:17] (797.60s)
point where we hit that exponential
[13:20] (800.24s)
growth. And it really isn't that
[13:22] (802.08s)
glamorous. It isn't really as fantastic
[13:24] (804.88s)
as people make it seem to be. It's like
[13:27] (807.12s)
the funny part is is we all in a way
[13:29] (809.04s)
know what we have to do. We should be
[13:30] (810.24s)
taunting customers. We should be
[13:31] (811.68s)
launching our product and coding it,
[13:33] (813.36s)
improving it, and making content to try
[13:34] (814.80s)
to get distribution right. But the real
[13:36] (816.64s)
hard thing is just to show up every
[13:37] (817.92s)
single day to do it because
[13:41] (821.36s)
It's not every day you have like really
[13:43] (823.84s)
big like momentum changes. For example,
[13:45] (825.60s)
I'm still finishing my features right
[13:46] (826.96s)
now. This video is still not done right
[13:48] (828.64s)
now. I only kind of feel good sometimes
[13:50] (830.72s)
when I hit that upload button. But I
[13:52] (832.96s)
also been learning something with Ryan
[13:54] (834.72s)
and I talking about. So kind of enjoy
[13:56] (836.08s)
these moments too. Just enjoy going
[13:58] (838.72s)
through the motion the dayto-day because
[14:00] (840.56s)
it's like a brick by brick type of
[14:01] (841.92s)
thing. This is how we're going to get to
[14:03] (843.68s)
that next phase and eventually hopefully
[14:06] (846.64s)
really build something that people love.
[14:08] (848.08s)
Getting pretty late, so it's definitely
[14:09] (849.76s)
time to get out of here. You agree,
[14:10] (850.80s)
right? Yeah. All right, let's do it,
[14:12] (852.56s)
man. Let's go home.
[14:14] (854.25s)
[Music]
[14:19] (859.68s)
You got the sink lab video coming or
[14:21] (861.12s)
what? Uh, yeah. I can't show you that
[14:24] (864.08s)
yet, though. Getting more clients.
[14:25] (865.92s)
What's What's the next move, bro? What's
[14:27] (867.84s)
the next move? I don't know. What is the
[14:31] (871.04s)
next move, FZA? For me or for who?
[14:34] (874.08s)
Probably make this video today and then
[14:36] (876.00s)
get it out, right? But uh I got two
[14:38] (878.00s)
people I'm working with right now and
[14:39] (879.92s)
then after that I just want to chill for
[14:41] (881.92s)
the rest of the months. You're the most
[14:43] (883.52s)
free flow guy I know, bro. Just living
[14:45] (885.28s)
in your car making videos. You still you
[14:47] (887.92s)
still in the car?
[14:49] (889.92s)
Uh here and there. Here and there. Yeah.
[14:52] (892.56s)
You know, some uh some opportunities on
[14:55] (895.68s)
Maven and I are cooking this up. Trying
[14:57] (897.68s)
to build this for like the homies. Can I
[14:59] (899.36s)
have it? Yeah. Yeah. When we're done
[15:01] (901.20s)
with it, we want to we want to make it a
[15:02] (902.96s)
little bit more like like what was this
[15:05] (905.52s)
for? And this is heavily inspired by the
[15:08] (908.08s)
buildspace OS and we want to just keep
[15:10] (910.48s)
like something for we want to bring like
[15:12] (912.96s)
group chats to like your OS cuz for me
[15:16] (916.08s)
like little events there. Yeah. Where
[15:18] (918.16s)
it's like yo want to pull up to blah
[15:19] (919.60s)
blah blah so we can like leave each
[15:20] (920.80s)
other messages. Yeah.
[15:23] (923.36s)
The next meet up or the next movie to
[15:24] (924.56s)
watch. It's like bro nobody knows about
[15:26] (926.48s)
the nobody knows you can do this. I'm
[15:28] (928.56s)
going to I'm going to raise a half a
[15:30] (930.16s)
million dollars on this. You're going to
[15:31] (931.68s)
run this [ย __ย ] up. Huh? N [ย __ย ] that. I'll
[15:33] (933.60s)
make a million dollars bro.
[15:41] (941.44s)
Ryan and I, we just had our weekly
[15:43] (943.92s)
meeting just now and we were just
[15:45] (945.20s)
talking about growth and we're kind of
[15:46] (946.80s)
looking at how people have been found
[15:48] (948.64s)
out about the product. One way is mainly
[15:50] (950.88s)
through kind of search AI tools. So, I
[15:52] (952.56s)
guess SEO that's how the traffic has
[15:54] (954.80s)
been coming. Another way actually is
[15:56] (956.48s)
just mainly through content. So through
[15:58] (958.08s)
these YouTube videos and also I uh post
[16:00] (960.40s)
a lot on Twitter and I do hope to try to
[16:02] (962.56s)
make some uh short form content soon
[16:04] (964.56s)
showing like the powerful content and
[16:07] (967.92s)
it's pretty great being at Founders Inc.
[16:09] (969.44s)
because you guys have seen Aiden and
[16:10] (970.88s)
Josh from the vlogs. They are like super
[16:12] (972.64s)
creative people and they make some great
[16:14] (974.96s)
content. I'm also surrounded by a lot of
[16:16] (976.56s)
other business people. A lot of starter
[16:18] (978.00s)
people that are more businessoriented.
[16:19] (979.84s)
What we noticed is that most of the
[16:21] (981.44s)
creative people what they tend to
[16:23] (983.04s)
struggle is that they become like
[16:24] (984.40s)
perfectionists. you know, you really
[16:26] (986.32s)
really want to make the thing perfect.
[16:27] (987.36s)
It's like art, right? And sometimes when
[16:28] (988.64s)
I'm editing these videos, too. Next
[16:30] (990.32s)
thing you know, I'm like spending
[16:32] (992.00s)
forever on one little segment, but in
[16:34] (994.24s)
reality, that wouldn't really increase
[16:36] (996.72s)
how much better the content is. It's
[16:38] (998.48s)
like a marginal returns. It's just not
[16:40] (1000.00s)
worth it, right? But for business people
[16:41] (1001.52s)
too, I I definitely on this side too. I
[16:43] (1003.20s)
love the feeling of hitting the upload
[16:44] (1004.48s)
button. I love the feeling of like
[16:46] (1006.32s)
finishing a chunk of code and trying to
[16:48] (1008.08s)
get more users and launching the
[16:49] (1009.52s)
product. And but at the same time too is
[16:52] (1012.24s)
that it it really also is important to
[16:54] (1014.48s)
make like good content, not just post to
[16:56] (1016.16s)
post. And for me personally, that's like
[16:57] (1017.60s)
really a daily battle. There will be
[16:59] (1019.04s)
times where I just want to keep editing
[17:00] (1020.96s)
and making something good. But next, you
[17:02] (1022.96s)
know, the anxiety creeps in, right? Ran
[17:04] (1024.80s)
will see me. I'll be like, Ryan, is this
[17:06] (1026.24s)
good enough? At this point, I can't even
[17:07] (1027.60s)
tell. I'm just like, I just got to ship
[17:09] (1029.20s)
it and get it out there. And just like
[17:10] (1030.96s)
these vlogs, you know, I'm always just
[17:12] (1032.16s)
trying to get them out there as quickly
[17:13] (1033.28s)
as possible. Tough kind of balancing
[17:15] (1035.28s)
coding and making content, but trying to
[17:17] (1037.20s)
stay consistent and keep it going.
[17:19] (1039.87s)
[Music]
[17:23] (1043.76s)
I'm gas. I'm tired. We had some good
[17:25] (1045.20s)
runs today. How you feeling, bro? Gas,
[17:28] (1048.12s)
bro. Tired today? Yes, bro. It was fun,
[17:30] (1050.72s)
though. Yeah, we have some uh good
[17:32] (1052.64s)
competitive runs today. We're probably
[17:34] (1054.72s)
going to be the last one for a while
[17:36] (1056.48s)
since Farcon's actually getting a
[17:38] (1058.00s)
surgery on his ACL. So, that's going to
[17:41] (1061.04s)
be happening. But going to try to find
[17:42] (1062.88s)
more outdoor courts to hoop at because
[17:45] (1065.68s)
when I'm usually playing it's like one
[17:47] (1067.44s)
of the few things basketball really
[17:48] (1068.88s)
helps me not think about work. So I'm
[17:50] (1070.32s)
just like living in the moment and I'm
[17:51] (1071.52s)
trying to find more activity that just
[17:53] (1073.68s)
really helps me with that and just kind
[17:55] (1075.44s)
of focus on living in the moment. And
[17:57] (1077.20s)
the second thing also is just not even
[17:58] (1078.80s)
for work. It just lowers my anxiety
[18:00] (1080.16s)
level. Just makes me feel better and
[18:01] (1081.36s)
happier and also that also do help with
[18:03] (1083.52s)
work since when you have less anxiety
[18:05] (1085.12s)
right make better decisions. So, I think
[18:08] (1088.32s)
it's important it's more than have it's
[18:09] (1089.52s)
more find a hobby sometimes and do
[18:11] (1091.12s)
something outside of work. And I'm still
[18:13] (1093.20s)
learning and trying to find a balance.
[18:14] (1094.64s)
Same light as that one. Like just like a
[18:16] (1096.48s)
normal podcast setup like two lights
[18:18] (1098.08s)
like that and then one with no no
[18:21] (1101.04s)
softball. So, how was demo day?
[18:24] (1104.24s)
It was fun. It was fun. Too many people.
[18:26] (1106.32s)
Too packed. Stressful. Thankfully, some
[18:30] (1110.16s)
some of the homies pulled through and
[18:31] (1111.68s)
gave me really good presentations. Some
[18:33] (1113.92s)
of them maybe have to chat with
[18:35] (1115.68s)
afterward, but for the most part it was
[18:37] (1117.92s)
all really good. How many all nighters
[18:39] (1119.28s)
did you pull before demo day? Just one.
[18:40] (1120.88s)
Just one. It was like late nights. Late
[18:42] (1122.56s)
nights all week, but one allnighter on
[18:44] (1124.88s)
demo day to make something that none of
[18:47] (1127.52s)
you will see for another month. N you
[18:49] (1129.36s)
about to drop some heat though, bro. You
[18:50] (1130.96s)
working on taking out the room? I'm I'm
[18:52] (1132.24s)
at the candy store right now, bro. Show
[18:54] (1134.24s)
the people the design, bro. For Khan
[18:56] (1136.56s)
gave me the go-ahad. Well, I mean, it's
[18:58] (1138.88s)
very simple. It's not like, but that
[19:00] (1140.56s)
room over there is going to have a lot
[19:03] (1143.36s)
of money poured into it and cool camera
[19:05] (1145.92s)
equipment and stuff. And my favorite
[19:07] (1147.44s)
thing on earth is cool camera equipment
[19:08] (1148.96s)
and group equipment especially for my G&
[19:11] (1151.52s)
people out there who know what that
[19:12] (1152.64s)
means. Um, do you know what that means?
[19:15] (1155.04s)
G& uh, what's that mean? You ain't a
[19:17] (1157.12s)
filmmaker, bro. I'm not. What's a What's
[19:19] (1159.44s)
the budget you got with, bro? I'm not
[19:21] (1161.60s)
going to ask. Okay, so I didn't get a
[19:23] (1163.20s)
budget, but I was originally going to
[19:25] (1165.84s)
try and set everything up for like 4K,
[19:27] (1167.92s)
3K because I'm I'm a cheap person
[19:30] (1170.00s)
myself. I always try to find the
[19:31] (1171.28s)
cheapest things. And when I was chatting
[19:33] (1173.04s)
with Fcon about it, he just goes,
[19:34] (1174.96s)
"Listen, I know it's going to be like
[19:37] (1177.16s)
$10,000." And I was like,
[19:39] (1179.32s)
"Oh, 10K, you say? What a nice
[19:42] (1182.00s)
surprise." So now I'm I'mma push it as
[19:44] (1184.96s)
far to that number as I can get it, bro.
[19:47] (1187.28s)
See how many people actually use it. I
[19:48] (1188.80s)
don't know. I'mma use it, but uh I'm
[19:50] (1190.32s)
gonna use it, too, I think. Yeah. Yeah,
[19:52] (1192.16s)
just we don't make companies here. We
[19:54] (1194.08s)
just make content and vlogs and Oh yeah,
[19:57] (1197.28s)
I'll cut that out.
[20:03] (1203.84s)
What you doing?
[20:05] (1205.76s)
I am actually on Facebook Marketplace
[20:09] (1209.44s)
right now because Fatine is finally
[20:12] (1212.32s)
going to be moving out at end of this
[20:14] (1214.96s)
month. Well, I guess end this month
[20:16] (1216.56s)
already, but it's going to say a couple
[20:17] (1217.68s)
extra days. So, trying to get a bunch of
[20:20] (1220.00s)
furniture. We actually already sniped a
[20:21] (1221.44s)
bunch of stuff. I got a free standing
[20:22] (1222.80s)
desk, uh a free monitor, and a couple
[20:25] (1225.52s)
different things really because
[20:26] (1226.40s)
definitely on a budget right now. So,
[20:28] (1228.40s)
sniping some items off Facebook
[20:30] (1230.08s)
Marketplace right now to save money. But
[20:32] (1232.16s)
things are looking good. Uh we actually
[20:33] (1233.68s)
already scheduled another call with our
[20:34] (1234.88s)
customer. So, majority of code is done
[20:36] (1236.64s)
again and we should be able to actually
[20:39] (1239.36s)
have MR after this call. So, I'm looking
[20:42] (1242.24s)
forward to that. And at this point, I
[20:44] (1244.96s)
think the next videos is really just
[20:46] (1246.40s)
about continuously growing the product
[20:47] (1247.76s)
and iterating through these loops. So,
[20:50] (1250.16s)
I'm going to keep you guys updated about
[20:51] (1251.52s)
that. But pretty good night right now.
