  with
• 1:19

• 1:20
  to
• 1:20
  know
• 1:20
  you
• 1:20
  a
• 1:20
  little
• 1:20
  bit.
• 1:21
  Let's
• 1:21
  talk
• 1:21
  about
• 1:21
  your
• 1:21
  role
• 1:22
  at
• 1:22
  Daily
• 1:22
  Harvest.
• 1:23
  And
• 1:23
  for
• 1:23
  those
• 1:23
  who
• 1:23
  might
• 1:24
  not
• 1:24
  know
• 1:24
  Daily
• 1:24
  Harvest,
• 1:25
  if
• 1:25
  you
• 1:25
  don't
• 1:25
  mind
• 1:25
  just
• 1:25
  kind
• 1:26
  of
• 1:26
  explaining.
• 1:26
  Explaining
• 1:26
  what
• 1:27
  it
• 1:27
  is
• 1:27
  too.
• 1:27
  Yeah,
• 1:28
  absolutely.
• 1:28
  So
• 1:29
  I'm
• 1:29
  the
• 1:29
  vice
• 1:29
  president
• 1:29
  of
• 1:30
  supply
• 1:30
  chain
• 1:30
  at
• 1:30
  Daily
• 1:31
  Harvest.
• 1:31
  I
• 1:31
  lead
• 1:32
  end
• 1:32
  to
• 1:32
  end
• 1:32
  supply
• 1:33
  chain.
• 1:33
  So
• 1:34
  quite
• 1:34
  a
• 1:34
  few
• 1:34
  things
• 1:34
  fall
• 1:34
  into
• 1:35
  that
• 1:35
  purview.
• 1:36
  We'll
• 1:36
  start
• 1:37
  with
• 1:37
  the
• 1:37
  planning,
• 1:38
  the
• 1:38
  sourcing,
• 1:38
  the
• 1:39
  purchasing,
• 1:39
  manufacturing,
• 1:40
  and
• 1:41
  all
• 1:41
  the
• 1:41
  logistics
• 1:41
  functions.
• 1:42
  Distribution,
• 1:42
  fulfillment,
• 1:43
  transportation,
• 1:44
  parcel.
• 1:44
  And
• 1:45
  so
• 1:45
  I've
• 1:45
  got
• 1:45
  a
• 1:45
  whole
• 1:46
  team
• 1:47
  of
• 1:47
  individuals,
• 1:48
  like
• 1:48
  a
• 1:48
  wonderful
• 1:48
  team
• 1:49
  up
• 1:50
  underneath
• 1:50
  me,
• 1:50
  as
• 1:51
  well
• 1:51
  as
• 1:51
  an
• 1:51
  analyst
• 1:51
  who
• 1:52
  helps
• 1:52
  us
• 1:52
  significant
• 1:52
  amount
• 1:54
  to
• 1:54
  make
• 1:54
  sure
• 1:54
  that
• 1:55
  we
• 1:55
  are
• 1:55
  actually
• 1:56
  delivering
• 1:56
  on
• 1:56
  all
• 1:56
  of
• 1:57
  our
• 1:57
  objectives.
• 1:57
  So
• 1:58
  we're
• 1:58
  at
• 1:58
  Daily
• 1:59
  Harvest.
• 1:59
  And
• 1:59
  Daily
• 1:59
  Harvest
• 2:00
  is
• 2:00
  a
• 2:01
  digitally
• 2:01
  native
• 2:01
  brand.
• 2:02
  I
• 2:02
  always
• 2:02
  say
• 2:02
  that,
• 2:03
  but
• 2:03
  what
• 2:03
  that
• 2:03
  really
• 2:03
  means
• 2:04
  is
• 2:04
  we
• 2:04
  used
• 2:04
  influencer
• 2:05
  marketing
• 2:05
  to
• 2:06
  really
• 2:06
  grow
• 2:06
  the
• 2:06
  brand.
• 2:07
  But
• 2:07
  we
• 2:07
  are
• 2:08
  a
• 2:08
  frozen
• 2:09
  food
• 2:09
  manufacturer.
• 2:10
  Yeah.
• 2:11
  And
• 2:11
  so
• 2:11
  primarily
• 2:12
  fruits
• 2:12
  and
• 2:12
  vegetables.
• 2:13
  Smoothies
• 2:13
  are
• 2:15
  far
• 2:15
  and
• 2:15
  large,
• 2:16
  like
• 2:16
  our
• 2:16
  largest
• 2:16
  category.
• 2:17
  But
• 2:18
  we
• 2:18
  also
• 2:18
  do
• 2:19
  other
• 2:19
  things
• 2:19
  like
• 2:19
  in
• 2:19
  the
• 2:19
  grain
• 2:20
  space
• 2:20
  and
• 2:20
  pastas,
• 2:21
  really
• 2:21
  expanding
• 2:22
  into
• 2:22
  more
• 2:22
  of
• 2:22
  Those
• 2:22
  savory
• 2:23
  foods
• 2:23
  as
• 2:23
  well.
• 2:24
  Right,
• 2:24
  right.
• 2:24
  So
• 2:24
  what,
• 2:25
  what
• 2:25
  doesn't
• 2:25
  fall
• 2:25
  under
• 2:25
  your
• 2:26
  purview
• 2:26
  if
• 2:26
  you're
• 2:26
  end
• 2:26
  to
• 2:27
  end
• 2:27
  supply
• 2:27
  chain?
• 2:27
  I've
• 2:27
  always
• 2:28
  wanted
• 2:28
  to
• 2:28
  ask
• 2:28
  somebody
• 2:28
  that,
• 2:29
  like,
• 2:29
  is
• 2:29
  there
• 2:29
  anything
• 2:29
  that
• 2:29
  doesn't
• 2:30
  fall
• 2:30
  under,
• 2:30
  under
• 2:31
  your
• 2:31
  hospice?
• 2:31
  Food
• 2:32
  safety
• 2:32
  and
• 2:32
  quality
• 2:32
  assurance.
• 2:34
  I
• 2:34
  work
• 2:34
  very
• 2:34
  closely
• 2:35
  because
• 2:35
  I.
• 2:35
  Manufacturing.
• 2:37
  Got
• 2:37
  it.
• 2:37
  Research
• 2:37
  and
• 2:37
  development,
• 2:38
  recipe
• 2:38
  research
• 2:39
  and
• 2:39
  development,
• 2:40
  regulatory.
• 2:41
  Those
• 2:42
  things
• 2:42
  right
• 2:42
  there
• 2:43
  are
• 2:43
  not
• 2:43
  under
• 2:43
  my
• 2:43
  purpose.
• 2:44
  So
• 2:44
  end
• 2:44
  to
• 2:44
  end
• 2:44
  with
• 2:44
  caveats.
• 2:45
  Correct.
• 2:46
  Okay,
• 2:46
  got
• 2:46
  it.
• 2:47
  All
• 2:47
  right.
• 2:48
  So
• 2:48
  you
• 2:48
  were
• 2:48
  on
• 2:48
  stage
• 2:49
  earlier
• 2:49
  today,
• 2:49
  right?
• 2:50
  I
• 2:50
  was,
• 2:50
  yeah.
• 2:50
  So
• 2:51
  what
• 2:51
  did
• 2:51
  you
• 2:51
  share
• 2:51
  with
• 2:51
  the
• 2:51
  audience?
• 2:51
  What
• 2:52
  were
• 2:52
  some
• 2:52
  of
• 2:52
  the
• 2:52
  key
• 2:52
  takeaways
• 2:53
  you
• 2:53
  hope
• 2:53
  the
• 2:53
  conference
• 2:54
  took
• 2:54
  away
• 2:54
  from
• 2:55
  what
• 2:55
  you
• 2:55
  shared?
• 2:56
  Yeah.
• 2:56
  So
• 2:56
  today
• 2:57
  we
• 2:57
  talked
• 2:57
  about
• 2:58
  like
• 2:59
  supply
• 2:59
  chain
• 2:59
  as
• 2:59
  a
• 3:00
  strategic
• 3:01
  initiative.
• 3:02
  And
• 3:02
  so
• 3:02
  it
• 3:02
  was
• 3:03
  really.
• 3:03
  Today
• 3:03
  was
• 3:04

  chat
• 3:04
  with

  of

  our

  supply
• 3:14
  chain
• 3:14
  and
• 3:14
  how
• 3:15
  we
• 3:15
  try
• 3:15
  to
• 3:15
  use
• 3:15
  that
• 3:15
  as
• 3:16
  a
• 3:16
  strategic
• 3:16
  advantage.

• 3:28
  of
• 3:28
  buy
• 3:28
  in.
• 3:28
  Right.
• 3:28
  And
• 3:29
  so
• 3:29
  we
• 3:29
  really
• 3:29
  talked
• 3:30
  about
• 3:30
  how
• 3:30
  we
• 3:31
  try
• 3:31
  to
• 3:31
  set
• 3:31
  the
• 3:31
  stage
• 3:32
  and
• 3:32
  try
• 3:32
  to
• 3:33
  like
• 3:33
  convey
• 3:33
  the
• 3:33
  importance
• 3:35
  and
• 3:35
  give
• 3:35

• 3:36
  like
• 3:36
  across

• 3:37
  be
• 3:37
  able
• 3:37
  to
• 3:37
  get
• 3:38
  these
• 3:38
  buy
• 3:38
  in.
• 3:39
  So
• 3:39
  we
• 3:39
  kind
• 3:39
  of
• 3:39
  talked
• 3:40
  about
• 3:40
  our
• 3:40
  philosophy
• 3:40
  and
• 3:40
  our
• 3:41
  approach
• 3:41
  there
• 3:41
  and
• 3:41
  we
• 3:41
  really
• 3:42
  spent
• 3:42
  a
• 3:42
  lot
• 3:42
  of
• 3:42
  time
• 3:42
  today
• 3:43
  talking
• 3:44
  as
• 3:44
  well
• 3:45
  about
• 3:45
  how
• 3:46
  we
• 3:46
  lean
• 3:46
  into
• 3:47
  partnerships,
• 3:47
  how
• 3:48
  right
• 3:49
  at
• 3:49
  the
• 3:50
  scale
• 3:50
  of
• 3:50
  which
• 3:50
  we
• 3:50
  are,
• 3:51
  a
• 3:51
  lot
• 3:52
  of
• 3:52
  companies

  in
• 3:53
  the
• 3:53
  same
• 3:53
  boat
• 3:53
  as
• 3:54
  us.
• 3:54
  And
• 3:54
  so
• 3:55
  you
• 3:55
  know
• 3:55
  what
• 3:55
  comes
• 3:55
  naturally
• 3:56
  just
• 3:56
  through
• 3:56
  networking
• 3:57
  events
• 3:57
  like
• 3:57
  this,
• 3:58
  meeting
• 3:58
  other

  people,
• 3:59
  talking

  same
• 4:03
  issues
• 4:03

• 4:04
  so
• 4:04
  really

  to
• 4:06
  lean

  into.
• 4:07

• 5:09
  We
• 5:09
  did
• 5:09
  take
• 5:09
  questions
• 5:10
  from
• 5:10
  the
• 5:10
  audience.
• 5:10
  You

• 5:11
  It

  was
• 5:11
  engaging.
• 5:12
  Yeah.
• 5:12
  But,
• 5:12
  you
• 5:12
  know,
• 5:12
  what
• 5:13
  was
• 5:13
  the
• 5:13
  best
• 5:13
  question
• 5:13
  you
• 5:13
  got?
• 5:14
  Do
• 5:14
  you
• 5:14
  remember?
• 5:14
  Oh,
• 5:16
  yeah,
• 5:16
  no,
• 5:17
  the
• 5:17
  best
• 5:17
  question
• 5:17
  we
• 5:18
  got
• 5:18
  was
• 5:19
  actually,
• 5:19
  I
• 5:19
  think
• 5:20
  it
• 5:20
  was
• 5:20
  a
• 5:20
  question
• 5:20
  around,
• 5:21
  like,
• 5:21
  if
• 5:21
  you
• 5:21
  could
• 5:21
  build,
• 5:22
  like,
• 5:22
  your
• 5:23
  ideal
• 5:23
  or
• 5:23
  utopic
• 5:24
  supply
• 5:25
  chain,
• 5:25
  like,
• 5:25
  how,
• 5:26
  what
• 5:26
  would
• 5:26
  that
• 5:26
  look
• 5:26
  like?
• 5:27
  Was,
• 5:27
  like,
• 5:27
  really
• 5:27
  a
• 5:28
  question,
• 5:28
  you
• 5:28
  know,
• 5:28
  and
• 5:28
  so
• 5:29
  it
• 5:29
  was
• 5:29
  talking
• 5:29
  about,
• 5:30
  you
• 5:30
  know,
• 5:30
  what
• 5:30
  technologies,
• 5:31
  what,
• 5:32
  like,
• 5:32
  how
• 5:32
  would
• 5:32
  you
• 5:32
  design
• 5:33
  the
• 5:33
  system?
• 5:33
  And
• 5:34
  so
• 5:34
  actually,
• 5:34
  I
• 5:34
  thought
• 5:34
  Ricky
• 5:35
  took
• 5:35
  the
• 5:35
  question.
• 5:35
  I
• 5:35
  thought
• 5:35
  he
• 5:36
  did
• 5:36
  a
• 5:36
  phenomenal
• 5:36
  job.
• 5:36
  Oh,
• 5:37
  really?
• 5:37
  The
• 5:38
  boss
• 5:38
  Answering
• 5:38
  the
• 5:38
  supply
• 5:39
  chain
• 5:39
  question.
• 5:39
  Yeah.
• 5:40
  And
• 5:40
  so
• 5:40
  he
• 5:41
  and
• 5:41
  Ricky
• 5:41
  used
• 5:41
  to
• 5:41
  be
• 5:42
  our
• 5:42
  chief
• 5:42
  supply
• 5:42
  chain
• 5:42
  officer
• 5:43
  before
• 5:43
  he
• 5:43
  became
• 5:44
  CEO.
• 5:44
  So
• 5:45
  he
• 5:45
  and
• 5:45
  I
• 5:45
  have,
• 5:45
  like,
• 5:46
  a
• 5:46
  really
• 5:46
  great
• 5:47
  relationship.
• 5:47
  I
• 5:47
  really
• 5:48
  benefit
• 5:48
  from,
• 5:48
  like,
• 5:48
  his
• 5:49
  understanding
• 5:50
  of
• 5:50
  our
• 5:50
  supply
• 5:50
  chain.
• 5:52
  And
• 5:52
  so.
• 5:52
  But
• 5:53
  he
• 5:53
  was
• 5:53
  really
• 5:54
  talking.
• 5:54
  He
• 5:55
  kind
• 5:55
  of
• 5:55
  answered
• 5:56
  a
• 5:56
  little
• 5:56
  differently
• 5:56
  than
• 5:56
  the
• 5:56
  way
• 5:57
  it
• 5:57
  was
• 5:57
  proposed.
• 5:57
  And
• 5:57
  he
• 5:58
  started
• 5:58
  talking
• 5:58
  about,
• 5:58
  like,
• 5:59
  the
• 5:59
  most
• 5:59
  important
• 6:00
  thing.
• 6:00
  And
• 6:00
  what
• 6:00
  I
• 6:00
  can't
• 6:00
  stress
• 6:01
  enough
• 6:01
  is
• 6:01
  critical
• 6:01
  thinking.
• 6:02
  Right.
• 6:02
  And
• 6:02
  so
• 6:03
  he
• 6:03
  was
• 6:03
  saying,
• 6:03
  like,
• 6:04
  you
• 6:04
  can
• 6:04
  invest
• 6:04
  in
• 6:04
  all
• 6:04
  the
• 6:05
  things
• 6:05
  that
• 6:05
  you
• 6:05
  want
• 6:05
  to
• 6:05
  invest
• 6:06
  in
• 6:06
  the
• 6:06
  world,
• 6:06
  but
• 6:06
  if
• 6:06
  you're
• 6:07
  not
• 6:07
  really
• 6:08
  strong
• 6:08
  in
• 6:09
  the
• 6:09
  fundamentals
• 6:09
  and
• 6:10
  in
• 6:10
  the
• 6:10
  basics,
• 6:10
  right?
• 6:11
  Like,
• 6:11
  you
• 6:11
  got
• 6:11
  to
• 6:11
  invest
• 6:11
  in
• 6:11
  the
• 6:12
  people,
• 6:12
  you
• 6:12
  got
• 6:12
  to
• 6:12
  help
• 6:12
  them
• 6:13
  understand.
• 6:13
  You
• 6:13
  got
• 6:14
  to
• 6:14
  teach
• 6:14
  them
• 6:14
  to
• 6:14
  think
• 6:15
  critically
• 6:15
  and
• 6:15
  how
• 6:15
  they
• 6:15
  approach
• 6:16
  that.
• 6:16
  So
• 6:17
  I
• 6:17
  thought
• 6:17
  that
• 6:17
  was
• 6:17
  a
• 6:18
  really
• 6:18
  good
• 6:18
  answer.
• 6:19
  You
• 6:19
  know,
• 6:19
  you
• 6:19
  hear
• 6:19
  a
• 6:19
  lot
• 6:20
  of
• 6:20
  people
• 6:21
  talking
• 6:21
  about
• 6:21
  AI,
• 6:22
  right?
• 6:23
  And,
• 6:23
  like,
• 6:24
  thinking
• 6:24
  about,
• 6:24
  like,
• 6:24
  how
• 6:24
  it's
• 6:25
  gonna
• 6:25
  change
• 6:25
  the
• 6:25
  world,
• 6:26
  you
• 6:26
  know,
• 6:26
  but,
• 6:26
  like,
• 6:27
  at
• 6:27
  the
• 6:27
  end
• 6:27
  of
• 6:27
  the
• 6:27
  day,
• 6:28
  those
• 6:28
  things
• 6:28
  are
• 6:28
  great
• 6:29
  as
• 6:29
  long
• 6:29
  as
• 6:29
  the
• 6:30
  people
• 6:30
  that
• 6:30
  are
• 6:30
  using
• 6:30
  them
• 6:31
  understand
• 6:31
  how
• 6:31
  to
• 6:31
  use
• 6:32
  them.
• 6:32
  And
• 6:32
  if
• 6:32
  they
• 6:32
  can't
• 6:32
  understand
• 6:33
  how
• 6:33
  to
• 6:33
  do
• 6:33
  their
• 6:33
  job
• 6:34
  effectively
• 6:34
  without
• 6:34
  it,
• 6:35
  I
• 6:35
  don't
• 6:35
  really
• 6:35
  want
• 6:36
  to
• 6:36
  talk
• 6:36
  about
• 6:36
  AI
• 6:37
  at
• 6:37
  this
• 6:37
  point.
• 6:37
  We
• 6:37
  need
• 6:37
  to
• 6:38
  get
• 6:38
  our
• 6:38
  basics
• 6:38
  right.
• 6:39
  Well,
• 6:39
  Wesley,
• 6:40
  let's
• 6:41
  close
• 6:41
  the
• 6:41
  interview
• 6:42
  with
• 6:42
  this
• 6:42
  question.
• 6:44
  If
• 6:44
  there
• 6:45
  are
• 6:45
  technologies
• 6:46
  outside
• 6:46
  of
• 6:47
  critical
• 6:47
  thinking
• 6:47
  that
• 6:47
  we're
• 6:48
  using,
• 6:48
  but
• 6:48
  technologies
• 6:49
  that
• 6:50
  you
• 6:50
  and
• 6:50
  your
• 6:50
  team
• 6:50
  at
• 6:50
  Daily
• 6:51
  Harvest
• 6:51
  are
• 6:51
  looking
• 6:52
  at
• 6:52
  and
• 6:52
  exploring
• 6:53
  to
• 6:53
  really
• 6:53
  help
• 6:54
  you
• 6:54
  go
• 6:55
  forward
• 6:55
  in
• 6:55
  2025,
• 6:56
  as
• 6:57
  you
• 6:57
  continue
• 6:58
  to
• 6:58
  perfect
• 6:59
  the
• 6:59
  supply
• 6:59
  chain
• 7:00
  and
• 7:00
  logistics
• 7:00
  space,
• 7:01
  what
• 7:01
  are
• 7:01
  those
• 7:02
  technologies?
• 7:03
  Yeah,
• 7:03
  you
• 7:03
  know,
• 7:04
  I
• 7:04
  would
• 7:04
  actually
• 7:04
  say
• 7:04
  that
• 7:05
  we're
• 7:06
  not
• 7:06
  looking
• 7:06
  at
• 7:07
  anything
• 7:07
  that's,
• 7:07
  you
• 7:08
  know,
• 7:09
  machine
• 7:09
  learning.
• 7:10
  We're
• 7:10
  not
• 7:10
  looking
• 7:10
  at.
• 7:11
  Yeah.
• 7:11
  Nothing
• 7:11
  groundbreaking.
• 7:12
  We're
• 7:12
  really
• 7:13
  trying
• 7:13
  to
• 7:14
  get,
• 7:14
  like,
• 7:14
  the
• 7:14
  tried
• 7:15
  and
• 7:15
  true
• 7:15
  technologies
• 7:16
  right
• 7:17
  for
• 7:17
  ourselves.
• 7:17
  So
• 7:18
  as
• 7:18
  we
• 7:19
  continue
• 7:19
  to
• 7:19
  evolve
• 7:20
  as
• 7:20
  an
• 7:20
  organization.
• 7:21
  Right.
• 7:22
  Erp,
• 7:23
  Transportation
• 7:24
  Management
• 7:24
  system,
• 7:24
  like,
• 7:25
  we've.
• 7:25
  We've
• 7:25
  got
• 7:25
  those
• 7:26
  things.
• 7:26
  We're
• 7:26
  leaning
• 7:26
  more
• 7:27
  so
• 7:27
  right
• 7:27
  now
• 7:27
  into,
• 7:28
  like,
• 7:28
  the
• 7:28
  materials
• 7:29
  resource
• 7:29
  planning.
• 7:30
  Like,
• 7:30
  the
• 7:30
  MRP
• 7:30
  functionality
• 7:31
  is
• 7:31
  one
• 7:32
  that
• 7:32
  we
• 7:32
  haven't
• 7:32
  robustly
• 7:33
  filled
• 7:33
  out.
• 7:33
  And
• 7:33
  so
• 7:34
  we're
• 7:34
  trying
• 7:34
  to
• 7:35
  just
• 7:35
  implement
• 7:36
  the
• 7:36
  technologies
• 7:37
  that
• 7:37
  are
• 7:38
  really
• 7:38
  basic
• 7:39
  to
• 7:39
  supply
• 7:40
  chain
• 7:40
  and
• 7:40
  like,
• 7:41
  the
• 7:41
  fundamental
• 7:42
  for
• 7:42
  us
• 7:42
  in
• 7:42
  order
• 7:43
  to
• 7:43
  be
• 7:43
  able
• 7:43
  to
• 7:43
  do
• 7:43
  our
• 7:43
  job
• 7:44
  effectively.
• 7:44
  Okay,
• 7:44
  so
• 7:45
  Wesley,
• 7:45
  would
• 7:45
  you
• 7:45
  say
• 7:45
  essentially
• 7:46
  what
• 7:46
  you're
• 7:46
  saying
• 7:46
  is
• 7:46
  like,
• 7:46
  trying
• 7:47
  to
• 7:47
  do
• 7:47
  better
• 7:47
  with
• 7:47
  what
• 7:47
  you've
• 7:47
  already
• 7:48
  got?
• 7:48
  Exactly.
• 7:49
  Right.
• 7:49
  And
• 7:49
  we.
• 7:50
  Look,
• 7:50
  we
• 7:50
  don't
• 7:50
  have
• 7:50
  that
• 7:51
  a
• 7:51
  lot
• 7:51
  so
• 7:51
  far,
• 7:51
  and
• 7:51
  we
• 7:52
  don't
• 7:52
  have
• 7:52
  the
• 7:52
  mrp.
• 7:53
  Right.
• 7:53
  We.
• 7:53
  We
• 7:54
  built
• 7:54
  an
• 7:54
  MRP
• 7:55
  through
• 7:55
  Google
• 7:55
  Sheets,
• 7:56
  you
• 7:56
  know,
• 7:57
  functions
• 7:57
  and
• 7:57
  operates
• 7:58
  that
• 7:58
  way.
• 7:58
  But
• 7:58
  now
• 7:59
  I
• 7:59
  don't
• 7:59
  think
• 7:59
  that
• 7:59
  counts.
• 8:00
  Exactly.
• 8:00
  So,
• 8:01
  like,
• 8:01
  you
• 8:01
  know,
• 8:02
  it's.
• 8:02
  We've
• 8:02
  got
• 8:02
  it,
• 8:02
  but
• 8:03
  we
• 8:03
  don't
• 8:03
  really
• 8:03
  got
• 8:03
  it,
• 8:03
  you
• 8:04
  know,
• 8:04
  so.
• 8:04
  Yeah,
• 8:05
  no,
• 8:05
  but
• 8:05
  it's.
• 8:05
  I
• 8:05
  think
• 8:05
  that's
• 8:06
  a
• 8:06
  really
• 8:06
  good
• 8:06
  way
• 8:06
  to
• 8:06
  say
• 8:07
  it,
• 8:07
  like,
• 8:07
  trying
• 8:07
  to
• 8:07
  do
• 8:07
  better
• 8:08
  with
• 8:08
  the
• 8:08
  things
• 8:08
  that
• 8:09
  are
• 8:09
  at
• 8:09
  our
• 8:09
  disposal.
• 8:10
  Yeah.
• 8:10
  Right,
• 8:10
  right.
• 8:10
  And
• 8:11
  what
• 8:11
  you've
• 8:11
  learned,
• 8:11
  I
• 8:11
  imagine,
• 8:12
  throughout.
• 8:12
  Yeah.
• 8:12
  And
• 8:12
  look,
• 8:13
  you
• 8:13
  know,
• 8:13
  like,
• 8:13
  you're
• 8:13
  sharing
• 8:13
  with
• 8:14
  other
• 8:14
  people.
• 8:14
  Absolutely.
• 8:15
  And
• 8:15
  like,
• 8:15
  we're.
• 8:15
  We're
• 8:15
  not
• 8:15
  in
• 8:16
  a
• 8:16
  position
• 8:16
  or
• 8:16
  a
• 8:16
  phase
• 8:17
  right
• 8:17
  now,
• 8:17
  if
• 8:17
  I'm
• 8:18
  being
• 8:18
  honest.
• 8:18
  And
• 8:18
  it's
• 8:19
  not
• 8:19
  unique
• 8:19
  to
• 8:19
  Daily
• 8:19
  Harvest,
• 8:20
  but,
• 8:20
  like,
• 8:21
  finance
• 8:21
  has
• 8:22
  changed
• 8:22
  and
• 8:22
  shifted.
• 8:23
  Right.
• 8:23
  And
• 8:23
  you
• 8:24
  have
• 8:24
  to
• 8:24
  be
• 8:24
  much
• 8:24
  more
• 8:24
  strategic
• 8:25
  about
• 8:25
  how
• 8:25
  you're
• 8:25
  managing
• 8:26
  cash.
• 8:26
  And
• 8:27
  so
• 8:27
  I
• 8:27
  don't
• 8:28
  have,
• 8:28
  like,
• 8:28
  the
• 8:29
  more
• 8:29
  expensive
• 8:30
  budget
• 8:30
  that
• 8:31
  I
• 8:31
  would
• 8:31
  want
• 8:31
  to
• 8:31
  go
• 8:31
  invest
• 8:32
  in
• 8:32
  some
• 8:32
  of
• 8:32
  these
• 8:32
  things.
• 8:33
  That's
• 8:33
  okay.
• 8:33
  You
• 8:33
  know,
• 8:33
  like,
• 8:34
  we
• 8:34
  work
• 8:34
  with
• 8:34
  what
• 8:34
  we
• 8:35
  have
• 8:35
  and
• 8:35
  we
• 8:35
  do
• 8:35
  the
• 8:35
  best
• 8:36
  to
• 8:36
  be
• 8:36
  effective.
• 8:37
  Awesome.
• 8:38
  All
• 8:38
  right,
• 8:39
  well,
• 8:39
  that
• 8:39
  closes
• 8:39
