Brady Hugins: Okay, great. So, we'll just have people join in as they…
Brady Hugins: Are available. And you guys are welcome to go and work on other things as needed.
Brady Hugins: Okay, so, time check. Today is Friday, May 29th, it's 10.30 a.m.
Brady Hugins: I'm here with Joshua and Alex, who's joined today, who are friends and colleagues of mine, but also we may have other people join us. So, if you're joining us via…
Brady Hugins: Recording, thank you for being here, happy to have you here.
Brady Hugins: Let me bring up today's presentation.
Brady Hugins: It's on delivery today.
Brady Hugins: So… A lot of people have heard the term…
Brady Hugins: Last mile, it's what I think FedEx and UPS, all these shipping and logistics companies see as one of the key parts is last mile delivery. And in the digital world.
Brady Hugins: That's in delivering our products with either the high-quality information that we're sharing, or the packages, or it might be some timely information or a timely communication.
Brady Hugins: Delivery is a key milestone for people along any sorts of businesses or ecosystems in order to make sure people get things when they expect them.
Brady Hugins: And what they expect.
Brady Hugins: So, it's an important layer to stack in with customers, and to consider when building out your own systems or delivering.
Brady Hugins: I've been through a number of different cycles for delivery, from testing to beta testing, or alpha testing, beta testing, at… not only with this system, but other ones that I've built in the past.
Brady Hugins: So, this is going to be, I think, a really effective tactical information, and this is a series… this is going to be Chapter 5 in a 7-part series, that we're building out in these webinar series.
Brady Hugins: They're free. If you attend live, but pa- in package deals, I'll be charging them and having those available via links.
Brady Hugins: And then, also, there's discounts available for students and people interested in some of our other products, so thank you for being here.
Brady Hugins: So, 5 chapter… we're 5 chapters in?
Brady Hugins: Two to go. We've talked about developing the spine, unified contact profile. Joshua, you can see the slides and everything, right?
Brady Hugins: Okay, great. Thank you. We talked about… The difference between renting.
Brady Hugins: our own infrastructure versus owning our own technical infrastructure. There's still components that are needed that are really important to consider when building out
Brady Hugins: Your ecosystem, and some of… often, we rent first, and then we build, and we own over time.
Brady Hugins: And there's a process that we do that.
Brady Hugins: We have a weekly rhythm. It's good to have rhythms in your business, whether it's a day rhythm, a weekly rhythm, a monthly rhythm.
Brady Hugins: There are natural cycles in order to be filing, or administrative components that are an important part of integration, so weekly, monthly, and regular checks.
Brady Hugins: And then, last week, we covered in on engines and automations. Those are the important parts
Brady Hugins: Of the infrastructure, where…
Brady Hugins: we have automate… automated engines that do a lot of the workflows and work that we're developing. Think of them as, like, the locomotives, or the driving force in order to bring in all your information from one place to another.
Brady Hugins: These work passively, they work in the middle of the night, they work when you're sleeping, they work at all times, and it's a way for us to leverage our skills and activities over a larger breadth than just what we offer just in one-on-one and in person.
Brady Hugins: We'll be covering shipping today and delivery, and then in further, webinars, as these are scheduled out, we'll work… we'll talk about integration and then owning the entire system.
Brady Hugins: So this is geared towards junior developers or senior developers, so people that are comfortable with using developer tools.
Brady Hugins: like Clog Code, or codecs, or some of these code builders, Python, and reading basic scripts in Python, or different sorts of scripts. So there may be some learning elements that people are learning as they go along. You're welcome to Google, or look and have your own chats in order to learn.
Brady Hugins: Different terms, and then we'll have some opportunity for questions at the end.
Brady Hugins: Okay.
Brady Hugins: Oh, just one more note on timing. This should be about half an hour to 40 minutes of a presentation, although sometimes it goes 20, sometimes it goes longer, and you're welcome to drop off as you need to.
Brady Hugins: Okay.
Brady Hugins: So… The reason why delivery's so important is because this is the layer where…
Brady Hugins: Metaphorically speaking, it's where the rubber hits the road.
Brady Hugins: Right, so it's where performance is, and we start getting traction, and physical traction in our business. They're either…
Brady Hugins: Leads that are being generated in, or were… have different,
Brady Hugins: Products that we're delivering… Right, so…
Brady Hugins: We can design these engines and design these workflows so that they're… these products and information is built automatically.
Brady Hugins: And then delivered.
Brady Hugins: And then we have a con… A spine, or a contact spine, or unified contact profiles, where all the information lands all together for that one particular contact and customer.
Brady Hugins: And then a plan that gives a structure and a flow.
Brady Hugins: So, the rhythms keep us honest and working within everyone's general cycles.
Brady Hugins: And then, so nothing's landing in our customer hands, at least without a check or an initiation from us.
Brady Hugins: So, this could be a reading, like astrology reading, it could be a receipt for a transaction, it could be a login link.
Brady Hugins: A reminder, for a webinar or something that… that needs to be delivered.
Brady Hugins: And it turns your system into more of a service-oriented activity, and something that's much more proactive rather than passive.
Brady Hugins: So there's different rhythms needing different infrastructure.
Brady Hugins: When we look at time and timing, there are many different layers of timing that are important to consider, because we don't have infinite amount of time in our lives. We do have
Brady Hugins: temporary times while we're here on Earth.
Brady Hugins: Even if we were here, or are here for hundreds of years.
Brady Hugins: It's still in a temporary rhythm.
Brady Hugins: So, it's important to consider synchronistic one-like experiences like this, like, we're on the call all together, it's a synchronous call, it's a live moment, it's a way for us to interact or listen.
Brady Hugins: So Zoom's a good example of that.
Brady Hugins: batches, and what are called async. So we have sync, and then async. Async is when email is being sent, and then it's being read at a different time. There's a newsletter that's being compiled and then being sent out to people, a weekly update on events.
Brady Hugins: Daily lessons or updates, questions.
Brady Hugins: So, it designs the batching and the structure, and part of that is
Brady Hugins: There can be beneficial times in order to batch information together so that…
Brady Hugins: Timing is more effective, or we're getting more work done all in one grouping.
Brady Hugins: Trigger-driven, so… triggers… When there's initiation of activity, either someone views a site, or…
Brady Hugins: Someone downloads a form or sends off an email, there could be a number of triggers.
Brady Hugins: Where we want to ask or receive information or receipts for products, or submitting forms and then getting a link after that.
Brady Hugins: And then the continuous, dynamically updated feed. So these are ones that are more integrated with our…
Brady Hugins: Back-end filing system, so that there's a dynamic feed of information that's being fed out to people, like in,
Brady Hugins: Live stream, or a live feed, a ticker tape.
Brady Hugins: And that portal can always be there.
Brady Hugins: So…
Brady Hugins: There's different styles of delivery. We talked about rental infrastructure versus owned infrastructure.
Brady Hugins: Almost always re-rent first.
Brady Hugins: In order to rely on other people's structures that we've built before.
Brady Hugins: That they've built before so that we can use those ourselves, or we're using their system in order to deploy or create some sort of result.
Brady Hugins: Examples of these that are rented are Kajabi, Wix, Shopify, MailChimp… Stripe for payments.
Brady Hugins: And a platform can do multiple different things, or it could just do one function as well. I have some API…
Brady Hugins: Connectors for some of the astrology work that is around $45 a month just for that one…
Brady Hugins: particular database and information.
Brady Hugins: So it doesn't have to be much in order to give a lot of value.
Brady Hugins: But it has to be reliable and fit within the needs of the person that is buying, of course.
Brady Hugins: So what does own delivery look like?
Brady Hugins: So there's some tools like Cloudflare, or any sort of these. Webflow is another tool. It depends on the UI and the standard. I use Cloudflare particularly.
Brady Hugins: And you're able to upload into their web servers so that they have assets ready to go and deploy in the web database, so…
Brady Hugins: You have your own internal…
Brady Hugins: information in your servers and database, and then you can systematically deploy that out to a web platform, and then that grabs that information. Now, you can have confidential information, secret information, plans, future plans, that are part of the…
Brady Hugins: Maybe in your internal information that you don't want to share in web?
Brady Hugins: And then you can have a number of gates and checks.
Brady Hugins: And then the information that's shared on the… for the web platform is publicly
Brady Hugins: Knowable information, and information that you want to disseminate and share, so that people can connect with you.
Brady Hugins: So, it doesn't necessarily mean, like, you need to own everything at the beginning, even if you have an owning mentality.
Brady Hugins: It's okay and perfectly fine to rent, and that's okay. It's not a waste of money, so to speak. It's just getting you in the position that you need in order to work the way you need to and move forward as you need to, so…
Brady Hugins: We are…
Brady Hugins: you know, anytime we sell and buy and work with other businesses, we are in a economy and ecosystem that we all work within, so competition isn't really the… what we traditionally think of it as. We're all very, very different and have our own skills and abilities that we…
Brady Hugins: Can reflect and share with each other that is unique to us, and that we can charge more for certain types of things versus others because of that.
Brady Hugins: Okay, so here's a… an example.
Brady Hugins: So, this is an example of a PDF.
Brady Hugins: for lead generation that I've been testing for a number of months through some various cycles.
Brady Hugins: And then…
Brady Hugins: finding some final setups and optimizations that really work much better. It's a free offering, but we also have it packaged in with some $5 offerings as a part of the package, too.
Brady Hugins: So it's triggered by a Stripe webhook fires on payment, so there's a payment that's being made and accepted on the website.
Brady Hugins: There's an engine that validates the key information that comes in, so this is, Nation, N8N, goes and checks the…
Brady Hugins: What webhook and the information that's there, and then upserts it into the contact information.
Brady Hugins: That information is used to make a astrological calculation, specifically for Venus placement, for this one.
Brady Hugins: Then it takes it, renders it into a PDF printout. This one's a 6-page PDF template.
Brady Hugins: And then it uses storage information in our web… web database so that it can… customers can get the information that they need, particularly for that.
Brady Hugins: And then the delivery is available via the link, or it can be re-sent via link as well.
Brady Hugins: And then there's a log that this all happened, this all occurred, and what information was shared on that, so…
Brady Hugins: We have a complete list in this just one small little step. Now, the customer goes and just puts in their email address, and presses the button, and expects this all to happen. This is their expectation.
Brady Hugins: And us, as owners of our businesses, we have to fulfill the expectation in order for them to experience the result that they want in our business.
Brady Hugins: And as you see here, this is 6 steps, and it's all broken down into subsets. It's obviously a complex process.
Brady Hugins: that all need to work precisely in order for us to get that result. Now… now we're kind of looking at why end last mile delivery is so important, and how big of an impact it can have on our business.
Brady Hugins: So, this is a PDF generation of the Venus Love Letter, which is our lead generation form. This is a value-added form, or a value-added PDF.
Brady Hugins: That people can view and see that's particularly personalized to them.
Brady Hugins: I've been doing some number of checks and using some examples, like Marilyn Monroe, making sure our historical information is accurate.
Brady Hugins: And getting some interesting information on some of our favorite celebrities over time.
Brady Hugins: She has her Venus in Aries in the 10th house, which I don't think is a big surprise to people.
Brady Hugins: Being someone that's,
Brady Hugins: blonde bombshell, so to speak, that is very much in the face of a lot of people, and in the 10th house, it's very much public information who she's dating
Brady Hugins: Or who has… she's dated publicly.
Brady Hugins: It gives fierce passion and independence and immediacy for that person.
Brady Hugins: And it also enables them to fall quickly and deeply in love.
Brady Hugins: So, that's a little nice secret… Marilyn Monroe, which is fun.
Brady Hugins: There's some,
Brady Hugins: Formatting, I think prep changes that I'd like to make, some spacing here at the bottom, some small little adjustments.
Brady Hugins: This is an example, and you can download this on the website as well.
Brady Hugins: In order to see the version of it.
Brady Hugins: And let us know your feedback. We also have… where Venus impacts the person.
Brady Hugins: Throughout the year.
Brady Hugins: And then have a… either… I think it's the next 12 months idea of, like, how Venus would impact that particular person.
Brady Hugins: Over the next 12 months.
Brady Hugins: And then Venus retrograde. I don't think this is at… well…
Brady Hugins: Yes, I think there was a Venus retrograde in March.
Brady Hugins: Yeah, I'll have to check that. We just retrograde dates.
Brady Hugins: And transits… I'm just writing down some notes.
Brady Hugins: Okay.
Brady Hugins: So, anyone, let's say that clicks in the call, can download this and, get their own Venus Love Letter and use the system.
Brady Hugins: Themselves, to get an example of what we… oops, okay.
Brady Hugins: What it looks like, okay?
Brady Hugins: So, so what happens when it breaks, right? So what's happening in the customer experience?
Brady Hugins: And then, why is this important?
Brady Hugins: So, oftentimes when this breaks, we don't get any signal whatsoever. Usually, when a customer doesn't receive what they want, they just leave, they get confused, and they just leave. They often don't give any feedback whatsoever.
Brady Hugins: So sometimes there's very little information, even when you have thorough checks and balances available in web analytics, because it's just a drop, or…
Brady Hugins: an unknown.
Brady Hugins: So, this is a way for us to check.
Brady Hugins: Results, so it's checking, results in indempotency, which means to check
Brady Hugins: Results, that they're the same over a number of different steps.
Brady Hugins: It's an important component so that there's recur… recurring processes that are verifiable.
Brady Hugins: There's fallbacks and retries, so if there's any false…
Brady Hugins: Information, or broken disconnection, there's a retry process, or a failback process.
Brady Hugins: Observability, so we want to be able to log and see even just basic interactions from our customers on our website in order to infer that information.
Brady Hugins: And then receipts. So, not necessarily transactional receipts, they could be verification that they received a URL, or verification that they received an email, or a PDF in this case.
Brady Hugins: It creates a more proactive and defensive design strategy.
Brady Hugins: Rather than relying on customers saying, oh, this is broken.
Brady Hugins: Or, oh, you need to change this.
Brady Hugins: Or, oh, I have this feedback.
Brady Hugins: So, it creates a more reliable system that gets better over time.
Brady Hugins: That's what I'm finding.
Brady Hugins: All right.
Brady Hugins: Q&A.
Brady Hugins: So, we've gone through just about 20 minutes with a major meet. We're covering the meat of what we're presenting. I have a few more slides after this.
Brady Hugins: So you're welcome to ask questions, and I'll…
Brady Hugins: Open up some here for general discussion and answering here, too.
Brady Hugins: Now, you may have, like, different needs, or just different curiosities based on your use case, or clients that you've run into, or just general questions, and you're happy to, open them up at this time.
Brady Hugins: But I do have a few different here to prompt that I'll read through briefly.
Brady Hugins: As teasers for us to chat.
Brady Hugins: What's the thing a customer pays for that takes you the longest to actually deliver? So, is there a product that you're making that takes a long time?
Brady Hugins: Once they say yes, and they've paid you, or whatever process it is in order to initiate that.
Brady Hugins: How long does it take?
Brady Hugins: Is it painful? Is it easy? Like, these are kind of notes in order to…
Brady Hugins: Write down your experience in order to optimize your experience, and ease certain parts.
Brady Hugins: Which delivery mode are you trying to force into infrastructure built for a different mode? So…
Brady Hugins: There may be different delivery modes that are needed for different types of information at different times.
Brady Hugins: Sometimes multiple forms of delivery are necessary or needed because of the availability of person on devices or whatever they're doing throughout the day.
Brady Hugins: Some people have access to texting, and then sometimes it's only emails, and then it's, like, only their phone app, and, like, it's kind of weird sometimes, depending on their own circumstances, so sometimes having multiple delivery mechanisms is an important part of
Brady Hugins: Sharing the information at the appropriate time.
Brady Hugins: So, and if your deliveries fell silently for a week, which customer would notice them first? Do you have some sensitive customers?
Brady Hugins: And what would they say? Or how would they react? And then also create forms and workflows that make it easier for our customers to give us those feedback.
Brady Hugins: To give us that…
Brady Hugins: improvements. They're taking their time in order to make our lives easier and our systems better, so we…
Brady Hugins: To listen with kind and compassionate ears is an important part of
Brady Hugins: Listening to other people's experience so that we can improve their experience.
Brady Hugins: As best we can, as owners of businesses.
Brady Hugins: So…
Brady Hugins: Joshua, Alex, you're here as our example students today. Do you each have any questions or, examples that you see these principles in play? Do you have any
Brady Hugins: Ideas or suggestions that would be important for people to consider when delivering their products to people?
Joshua Laureles: Yeah, it seems as though, like, that, live feed idea is definitely something great for, like, close customers, people that are, like, really, really, bought in, and usually that's, like, a, tiered-up, like, approach.
Joshua Laureles: Obviously, it's a really good idea what the, the trigger point,
Joshua Laureles: timing where, you know, somebody pays for something, and you get that, I think that's, like, an important part of delivering, is to make sure that that whole system is set up, because especially when people are paying money, they want to get what they paid for, and so something…
Joshua Laureles: That, you know, I've experienced, like, when I've paid for something and none of that went through for another, like, week and a half, and…
Joshua Laureles: Definitely was,
Joshua Laureles: it was puzzling. You know, I wouldn't necessarily say it was frustrating, I had trust in the people, but… it's like, oh, what's going on here, you know?
Brady Hugins: That's really good feedback, and is a great example of
Brady Hugins: The feelings that we usually all feel when going through those experiences, which is…
Brady Hugins: Did I do something wrong? Is there something that I did wrong? Which…
Brady Hugins: isn't often the case. Most of our customers are not doing…
Brady Hugins: Strange behaviors, usually, most of the time.
Brady Hugins: That's a great example, and a good example of the feeling.
Brady Hugins: 2…
Brady Hugins: Alex, did you have an example you want to share?
Alex: I was just gonna answer the question. So, one of the things that customer pays for that takes me the longest to deliver is after reading, getting, like, their notes back to them, which Brady, you and I have talked about before. So, like, for me, I'm kind of in the process of finding the best note-taker, so that way I can,
Alex: on a time, like, in the most timely way, deliver their notes back to them. So, I think, for me, just, like, understanding the tools and going through my own, like, what's it called, troubleshooting, because sometimes, like.
Alex: I've been really having a hard time with the note takers. Sometimes they don't get added to the meeting, like, sometimes they don't…
Alex: do what I need them to do, and, like… Sometimes, you know.
Alex: like, I run out of storage, sometimes there's an issue, and some of them cost more than others. So, yeah, just, like, trying to figure out the best way to deliver
Alex: After reading with, like, certain tools,
Alex: There's, like, so much troubleshooting involved.
Alex: Especially, like, if, you know, for example, like, your setup is sort of, like, you have, like, an isolated tool,
Alex: where you're, like, managing… managing that, just, like, being really consistent with understanding that there's a lot of, like, troubleshooting and follow-up involved, like, to make sure that it works. It's definitely, like.
Alex: a lot more than you might think, like, that you would have to keep… be on top of, especially if their tool isn't working. Like, I've noticed a lot of the note-takers can be really fussy.
Alex: So, that's something that I kind of, deal with.
Brady Hugins: That's some really good points.
Brady Hugins: Are you finding, even with some of the note takers that you're using, that there's a significant amount of errors?
Alex: Well, I think one of the, like, key things is, like, to do a lot of testing before, like, you know, the actual sessions, because what will happen is, even if it's supposed to be in a meeting.
Alex: Sometimes that doesn't happen, and then even if it's supposed to be in a meeting, for whatever reason, like.
Alex: in the moment when I'm adding it, or I'm, like, you know, trying to make sure that it's there, I get kind of swept up with the fact that the meeting is happening, and I don't have time to, like, double-check it.
Alex: So, yeah, I've just been really struggling, so, like, for example, I…
Alex: just added it to my last meeting, or I wasn't able to add it to the last meeting that I was in, but I turned it on. I turned it on.
Alex: And it didn't capture any of the… sound, somehow.
Alex: Which was like, what the fuck? So, yeah.
Alex: I'm kind of, like, in the process right now of, like.
Alex: picking the best tool, and then, like, doing the troubleshooting before, you know, actually engaging with the customer to make sure that all of the things have been, accounted for beforehand. So that's just, like, something that you might not think about. Like, you might expect something to, like, work
Alex: Right when, you know, you want it to, but you actually have to do, like, a lot of…
Alex: set up beforehand, and, like, all that troubleshooting, so that's kind of what I've been dealing with.
Brady Hugins: That's good feedback, that's really good feedback. I…
Brady Hugins: I think the pre-testing and the tool selection are really…
Brady Hugins: Fantastic points to point out about saving time and money in regards to those.
Brady Hugins: And… Having either experience with other tools, or using other people's tools.
Brady Hugins: It's helpful to… in order to be faster about setting up our own systems.
Brady Hugins: And also, I've noticed is that sometimes it's good to have multiple.
Brady Hugins: In this one example.
Brady Hugins: I have… I have actually two recordings going on at the moment. One is the Zoom, which covers the video that we're seeing now, and the audio that we're hearing.
Brady Hugins: And then some notes as well, some transcriptions.
Brady Hugins: And then I have my plod, which is an audio-only one, but this is… I use as a backup in case there's some sort of…
Brady Hugins: dropping of the internet, or some sort of reliability issue, that I have all the information that may be shared outside of this recording.
Brady Hugins: So that it's covering all the bases, so…
Brady Hugins: It might be more expensive, but sometimes having two…
Brady Hugins: Different, slightly different tools, and paying a little bit extra.
Brady Hugins: Can't be helpful, rather than just having just one.
Brady Hugins: That is, you know, even if it's tested, even if it's working reliably, even if you've used it before.
Brady Hugins: Sometimes it's good to have a secondary, even if it doesn't always work all the time.
Brady Hugins: I have a truck…
Brady Hugins: Well, you guys know this, it's a 1969 Chevy C10, right? So it's a real classic truck. It doesn't always start because of the cold and everything.
Brady Hugins: I keep it because I have…
Brady Hugins: a car that doesn't have a computer chip in it, so if there's any sort of, like, solar flare EMP issues, I can still have a vehicle that will run.
Brady Hugins: And even if it's hard to start, I'd rather have a vehicle that can run, even if there's some sort of big issue, right? So it's a way for me to…
Brady Hugins: create resilience for myself, my own family, and my friends, and people that I may be able to help in those circumstances.
Brady Hugins: So, that's an example of a more, like.
Brady Hugins: I guess long-term, but also, you know, it's okay to have two cars if you really need both cars, even though you can only drive one at a time.
Brady Hugins: you know, people having, you know, big trucks or little cars, like, we shouldn't really necessarily be making any judgments on their lifestyles, because they may have some unique needs that we don't necessarily know. That's important for them to have those things.
Brady Hugins: I always admire the Army folk when they're driving through with their Hummers, because I'm always like, wow, it'd be so fun to drive one of those, right?
Brady Hugins: I mean, I think Joshua knows he was in the military. Some of the toys is some of the best part, is you get to do a lot of play with toys.
Joshua Laureles: Yeah, I drove those.
Brady Hugins: Yeah, it's fun.
Brady Hugins: I like seeing them drive down the freeway, and then they have, like, all, like, the gear, like, all…
Brady Hugins: prepped on them, and everyone's in gear. I think it's a…
Brady Hugins: I think it's really cool to see.
Brady Hugins: So, so, that's my bromance moment. So, Alright.
Brady Hugins: These are great questions. Any more follow-up, Alex, did you have any more ideas, or…
Alex: I was just curious, like, for the plaid device that you have, which one do you use?
Brady Hugins: So, I think…
Alex: cost.
Brady Hugins: I think I got this one, a cup… a year or two ago.
Brady Hugins: And I have a couple versions of it. I might have an old one laying around that you could probably cannibalize for me.
Brady Hugins: Next time we're together, if you wanted to try it, we'd have to do some setup and initiation on it, but you could… you could use it if you wanted to.
Brady Hugins: I have to find it first.
Brady Hugins: Before offering it.
Brady Hugins: There's a… I have the unlimited subscription, which I think is around 30 bucks a month or something.
Brady Hugins: Might be 40?
Brady Hugins: But that way, I can take all the notes, I could…
Brady Hugins: that… in that scenario, I could literally be in meetings all month.
Brady Hugins: and have enough data that I can digest and manage all… everything that I would manage, so I don't have to think about it at all at that point.
Brady Hugins: So… It's a convenience, but costs a little extra.
Brady Hugins: Not huge costs.
Alex: Cool, yeah, I think I need one.
Brady Hugins: Yeah. They're enough to say, well.
Alex: It's super cool.
Brady Hugins: Yeah What's nice is you don't think about it.
Alex: I, I… Yeah. No, I love that you… you have integrated it so completely with everything.
Alex: it's definitely really remarkable, and I think is, like, a…
Alex: really wonderful way to use that technology, because you've really leveraged it extremely well with
Alex: you know, all of the things that you've created and built, and the way that you use it as, like, a feedback, and the way that you use it as, like, a… that's kind of just, like, a habit. You know, it's, like, a reliable tool that
Alex: that works. You know, you turn it on, it's your backup, it's, like, very, you know, habit-based. I think that that's a really valuable, you know, kind of adjunct to, like you were saying, like, you're reporting it already on Zoom.
Alex: And in case, like, one doesn't work for whatever reason, you have the other one.
Alex: Yeah, that seems really reasonable. And I've tried doing that too, like, in the moment.
Alex: For readings and stuff like that, but I don't have, like, that super reliable go-to thing.
Alex: every single, like, time, for whatever reason, like, sometimes my Fireflies acts up, or sometimes RAI, like, the free version, you can only do 30 minutes at a time, and so anyway, yeah, I'm just definitely exploring, like, what are my reliable tools, and what's a reliable backup.
Brady Hugins: Absolutely.
Brady Hugins: Yeah, it's… it's nice to talk about some of the benefits of having dedicated hardware for something that's more reliable under that circumstance, like you're saying.
Brady Hugins: Because when you have, like, connection issues with your audio, or your connection issues on software, we know that software can be very buggy, too, depending on the circumstance, too.
Brady Hugins: So, that's a lot of good examples, and…
Brady Hugins: ultimately, I think the feeling that you're pointing out about how you see it all flowing is…
Brady Hugins: really what we all want to feel, which is, oh, I have all my little bag of tools, and I just…
Brady Hugins: kind of put them all out on the table, and we have our meeting, and it all works really well, and then I can go back and get all my stuff done, and it's… it's a magic trick, right? People see it all happen, they're just like, what the heck was that? Like, that's phenomenal.
Brady Hugins: I saw some people working yesterday in the legal professions that were…
Brady Hugins: some of the fastest, most unbelievable work that I've seen in a short period of time, and I'm just sitting there in awe and happiness to see it all unfold.
Brady Hugins: Then, you know, a big check comes by, and as long as you can pay it well enough, then…
Brady Hugins: or a big… you can sign it and feel comfortable with what you received for it, so…
Brady Hugins: there are some things that we pay lots of money for that are well worth the time and effort, so it's important to consider that as part of it. We don't always have the means to do that, but when we do.
Brady Hugins: It's just something to consider as we're practically moving forward.
Brady Hugins: Fantastic. Okay.
Brady Hugins: So, the future… The future!
Brady Hugins: Two chapters, left. Now, this series is live, and I… if you guys want to see the rest, I… it's in beta mode right now, so there's some cleanup that's still needed on some of the courses.
Brady Hugins: I can give you guys a free, like, access to everything, if you'd like.
Brady Hugins: to see all, the remaining courses. There's some small edits I need to make at the front and back end with some webinars. There's some small changes, but for the most part, the content is there and available. So, I'll send those out to you guys, for that, so that's free.
Brady Hugins: I'm doing this with, of course, you guys as part of the team that we work together, but also, I have, I think, around 10 licenses that I have set aside for people for more internal cohort work.
Brady Hugins: For invitations, so that we can have more production-style meetings, and use some of the information more readily, and, share some of the experiences, so…
Brady Hugins: Next week, we'll talk about integration, so you guys are welcome to come back for that, or listen in later on. And then the next week after that, on June 12th, we'll have the…
Brady Hugins: Oni. And, as another follow-up note,
Brady Hugins: We have a Sharecraft, networking event tomorrow morning at…
Brady Hugins: I think it's at 10, it's in the morning.
Brady Hugins: You guys are out of town, so you guys, of course, don't need to come, but, I want to let you guys know about it. We're doing those about once a month.
Joshua Laureles: Please feel free to post the information in the channel mutation Discord.
Brady Hugins: Okay.
Joshua Laureles: I have the, if you… if you've been in there recently, there is the Rose Court…
Joshua Laureles: Channel in there.
Brady Hugins: I'll… I'll look at that. Yeah, let me see if I can… I can do that. I can do some copy-paste… copy-paste posting with some other stuff.
Brady Hugins: I like to integrate it and have it do it dynamically, but I don't know if I have enough time before tomorrow to do that, so I'll check it out. But thank you. I'll do that.
Brady Hugins: That's a great idea.
Brady Hugins: I love integrating the communities. I think communities work really well integrating with each other.
Brady Hugins: So, I think, the more that we can do that, the better results we're gonna get for all of us.
Brady Hugins: Okay.
Brady Hugins: So, these are available. Now, I was… these are… I'm… as part of the economics that we're dealing with together, these are all available to you guys, to regular people, if they're referred in.
Brady Hugins: The courses, and this is an annual course where we'll update it every year.
Brady Hugins: It's $297, so we'll do a versioning every year, so we'll have
Brady Hugins: Tech and development up to date.
Brady Hugins: The live cohort, that's $500 a month, but that includes 4 licenses, so it's for either a business or a small business with either one or many different operators.
Brady Hugins: They're doing some of the development work, or curious about it.
Brady Hugins: And then additional licensing, outside of 4 people.
Brady Hugins: It's $1.99 per person for additionally after that. That includes some of the pro,
Brady Hugins: It includes our Pro membership, which… it's access to our internal documentation for setting up our… your own systems, recommended workflows, recommended tools and systems.
Brady Hugins: So that any sort of system is really easier to set up, or that if you're going and developing this for another customer client, it's easier, and you have some templates and things to work with.
Brady Hugins: That's all part of that package.
Brady Hugins: And then the $33 a month is part of… is this part of this package, where someone can go in and ask questions, as well as be a part of these meetings on a regular basis. So, I'll have some cancellations and some vacation dates and those kinds of things, so this is a rough
Brady Hugins: Idea, but the general, there'll be more details as needed as we go forward, but all the library of information will be available for people.
Brady Hugins: Okay.
Brady Hugins: Well, good. It's 11.13. We've done a great job. It's about 45 minutes.
Brady Hugins: I… we're gonna wrap up this one. Really appreciate you guys here. Is there any more, I guess, feedback or anything that you guys wanted to share before we close today? Thank you so much for being here, and I'm really happy to share this with you.
Joshua Laureles: Yeah, thank you so much. It's great stuff.
Brady Hugins: Awesome.
Joshua Laureles: Has my ideas percolating more, so that's good. What I'm looking for the most while here is just ideas to gather and build on.
Brady Hugins: Awesome.
Brady Hugins: Good, I'll stop the recording now, and send you guys some of the notes for…
Brady Hugins: The follow-up meeting we have today.
Brady Hugins: Good, so… Thank you, everyone, for joining. We'll see you soon.
Joshua Laureles: Alrighty, see ya. Thanks.
Brady Hugins: Thanks.
