    Hi, Robert good have you to make the time. So as as I've discussed earlier, this project is very high value and and I just want to let you know that I'm extremely keen to lead this project. And with my detailed research on the the market segment and whatnot, I think I'm the person, I'm the right person to do it. I'm interested to hear your thoughts and and see where I can add value.

    Thanks for visiting me or jumping on this call with me, Judy. So just to let you know where we are with this project, I've assembled the preliminary team and talked to a few of the different participants in our team. Some of them I haven't notified yet, but I think everybody is kind of arranged. And so we were definitely looking forward to your, your, your input with the market research that you've done, as well as the the finance experience that you have. So what I what I see for our team overall is that you would be heading up the finance aspect of everything, you can pretty much take the lead on that. And then in our group roundtable sessions will be you know, connecting on a weekly basis to, to get input from everybody, and the different market research that you have, with the market, this particular product will definitely be a valuable contribution to our, to our group work.

    Great, Robert, I'm so I'm so pleased that, you know, I have a important role in this project. And and certainly finance is a is a very important to, to the success of the whole project. But I'm also i'm also keen, actually Robert to add further value in the other the other aspects of the, of the project, not just on the financial side, but but on the marketing, the framing of the advertisement, and on the production side, you know, I also have a lot of experience in running these other projects, and making sure you know, all that all goes to all goes to plan. So yeah, I know that you have you have some preliminary views of who will take up certain roles. I yeah, as I say, you know, I really, I really think this is something that I can tremendously add value, whether you would, you know, consider me having like a stronger input on on the overall scheme of things.

    Honestly, you know, since we're getting a team of such, you know, highly capable of experienced people, including yourself, ideally, everybody's going to be, you know, working together not only as a group, but if you have specific insight into things like marketing, we definitely want you to, to have those conversations with with the, with our personnel that's in charge of marketing right now we're looking at Jimmy, Jimmy's going to be headed up the marketing side of things. So basically, anything that you want to add, everyone's got to have an open door. That's that's kind of the way I'm gonna run the team is is roundtable discussion where everyone's expected to contribute. But if you and Jimmy with marketing want to want to put your minds together, you're more than welcome to do that.

    Yeah, sure, sure thing, I'm obviously you know, I'm, I have all these ideas, just I'm just worried that you know, whether whether in terms of the allocation of focus, you know, whether I can actually more, you know, be effective in putting in delivering, if all these ideas I have, if I have to go through you know, Jimmy or I certainly I'm more than willing to try, I just feel that I'll be more effective if I have an over overriding sort of overall view of the project of kind of and also being being the point person to to push all the various work streams along. I just feel that it is it will be more coordinated, and more effective. But I I'm just trying to think of you know how To make the whole process more effective, but I appreciate, I appreciate where you're coming from.

    You know, I'm totally open to ideas. You know, we haven't assembled the entire team together yet.

    So I definitely appreciate hearing your insights.

    Is there anything specifically, you know, especially with your background in finance that you'd like to discuss today?

    Yeah, man, I'm happy to run my ideas by you. I mean, I've got I've got it sort of set out in a in a business plan. And also, you know, which covers all the areas, I'm more than happy to go through it with you, if you you know, if once I've sent through my PowerPoints, so I mean, this, this will set it was set out strategically how i want i want to i envisage the whole project being run and how I'm going to deliver it.

    So are you are you let me just clarify, in terms, are you speaking in terms of, you know, directing the finance side of things? how you'd like to jump on that aspect of the project?

    Well, frankly, Robert, I'm, I'm very confident of my ability to deliver on the financial side. But I also want to share with you I actually have a wider roadmap for the product that I have, which covers not only just finance, but but with all the other work streams.

    Okay, yeah. I mean, I'm, I'm definitely interested in

    PowerPoints, if anything he wants to send along to me, or, you know, I'm open to probably a face to face meeting. If there's anything you you know, that's too complex for a phone call today. But kind of going back to what what I think, is my overall plan, and I think this would be really valuable is when we do get the entire team together, the very first meeting is really going to be hashing out where do people see the, you know, the overall project going, and also their roles in the project? So I'm happy to hear it.

    given information to

    the entire group, I'm sure we'll

    be happy to hear your ideas, and then we'll hear theirs as well.

    As the larger team?

    Yeah, no, absolutely, absolutely. I mean, I certainly can beef up my my analysis on the finance side, but I would really love to share with you what my thoughts are for the whole project, you know, covering, as I say, you know, all the different areas. And I think, whatever the outcome, however you that the team will develop into, you know, I think the key is to, to have to have shall have a product that works. And I'm just happy to be part of it and share, you know, what, what I what I have in mind my dream? Yeah, for the project.

    Because I know you have a lot of experience with, you know, with the product, and then the research itself. So anything that you'd like to advise me and the entire team on like that, that's just going to be bonus points for us. And you know, that's one reason we brought you onto the game is because we knew that you would have a lot of great insight for us.

    Okay, great. Well, let me let me send that through to you. And I know arrange a meeting or meeting with with your systems.

    Yeah, no worries. I mean, I've got an open door policy. So

    is there anything today if you'd like to? You know, I've got I've got a few minutes. Is there anything you'd like to share? Anything? Anything more?

    what works best for you?

    No, I'll definitely send my my PowerPoint shortly. But it is if there's any particular do in terms of the overall project Robert, what is your key concern? What is

    it since we're just in the planning stages, I don't have any strong concerns right now. I don't I don't see any potential obstacles at this point, of course, any budget going to have obstacles, but right now with the team that we have pieced together, it everybody with with their with their roles, has the experience within within within their roles. And and I don't see any major obstacles at this moment. But once again, when we align with the team and we all sit down together, we might actually have a few different approaches and that might actually be our first obstacle instead getting everybody to see things from the same side. But at the same time, that's a good obstacle to have. Because if we do have a lot of different approaches and opinions on how we can approach this project, it really just gives us more variety to choose from as we move forward. So it's an obstacle but also Yes,

    yes, of course. Okay. Yeah. Great. I mean, I yeah, just it's just, uh, just to see if you have anything in mind. But yeah, let

    me let me share with

    you the my thoughts and we can further discuss.

    Perfect. Thank you. Yeah, that sounds wonderful. Absolutely.

    Thank you, Robert. Thank you.
