Mariko shared an update on Kevin Triplet's Project Weave, which she's been exploring as a potential integration opportunity for Holomovement. Kevin, acting as tech advisor on the project, recently tested Project Weave successfully on Linux and is looking for the right cultural community to deepen its testing. His rationale: rather than building technology and then hunting for the right culture to validate it, why not bring the technology to a community that already embodies the values it's designed to serve (11:00)?
James offered useful framing on what Project Weave likely represents (12:01): it's infrastructure-level work — protocols analogous to HTTP or ISP standards — but rebuilt from the ground up with more intelligence, trust systems, and relational design. In his read, it could function as an alternative internet backbone if the current web becomes compromised. He sees it as clearly aligned with Holomovement's mission, though not necessary for what the app is currently building toward. The kinds of features being developed now — matching, holons, assessment — would be just as applicable, and arguably more important, on this kind of open infrastructure.
Both agreed the next step is a three-way conversation with Kevin to better understand the current state of development and what integration might actually look like. Mariko noted she wants to clarify whether this is a live project or still conceptual before committing bandwidth (42:05).
James walked through a working prototype of the holistic user assessment, built around five domains pulled from the existing project doc (22:37). Each domain has a spectrum with two poles — not a right/wrong binary, but a genuine range — and users position themselves using a slider.
The five domains explored:
Results render as a nine-pointed spider graph and bar chart. Mariko responded positively — the slider format keeps it accessible without being overwhelming, and the domain framing strikes a balance between practical self-reflection and deeper philosophical inquiry (25:36).
James floated the idea of layering on community-level visualizations — overlaying 100 profiles at once to reveal the shape of a holon's collective orientation, or comparing holons against each other (29:17). The next step discussed: adding archetype outputs (e.g., "super connector") with brief descriptive text for each result profile.
On the matchmaking side, the assessment data would feed optionally into the matching algorithm. Users could decide what criteria they're matched on when they request a matchmaking analysis, but some default matching criteria would apply automatically (36:00).

[technology="Intelligent Matching Algorithms"]
The Webflow [tag="webflow"] implementation is in active build with three developers currently working on it. James introduced two new team members — Sean (Ohio, senior Webflow [tag="webflow"] developer) and Siam (Pakistan, junior developer) — brought on partly because Ivan has taken on more outside client work and has less bandwidth than before (34:00).
UI highlights reviewed in the session:
Target: have the new UI and the assessment prototype ready for the Holomovement team's Thursday meeting. Matchmaking won't be integrated yet, but the assessment should be functional enough to demo and test (40:48).
[technology="Custom Membership System"]
The new Holomovement magazine is ready, and the question is how to get it in front of people before the app fully launches. James has already built a viewer for it that can be embedded on a page. The proposed approach (19:34):
Mariko noted that Jill is looking at a near-term release window and that there's already a waitlist. The goal is to get something functional on the site soon.
James flagged that a payment/phase review is overdue (39:11). Phase one was originally scoped around the LMS, which then paused while the team shifted focus to the current app build. He needs to reconcile what's been delivered against what was budgeted before initiating phase two funding. Mariko confirmed she wants to keep things moving and doesn't want development to stall — she asked James to surface the accounting when he's ready so they can move forward.
A brief but notable update: Adam Hall (of the Purpose Lab integration) apparently reached out to Emanuel requesting payment for something that Zenka had consistently communicated was free. The situation is unresolved — Zenka is working to clarify what Adam is referring to (16:24). James noted that Adam has always represented this as a voluntary contribution, and his read is that Adam may be feeling pressure around his own project gaining traction.
Separately, the Purpose Lab podcast is wrapping up its current batch of filmed episodes, with new recordings starting soon. James suggested consolidating the Podcast page and Purpose Lab page into a single, cleaner experience — a grid of guests, latest episodes, and lab information in one place rather than a long scroll (21:45).
James and his partner Emily have already purchased plane tickets to Lisbon for The Wave event. Mariko confirmed they're welcome and will work with Hera to sort out accommodations and get James in at a team rate. They're also planning a few days in Lisbon before the event and will fly to the Azores afterward for their honeymoon (43:25).

Ensure new UI and assessment prototype are functional and showcase-ready for the Holomovement team's Thursday meeting. Matchmaking won't be integrated yet but assessment should be demo-ready. Discussed at 40:46 and 40:48.
Conduct accounting review of Phase One deliverables and spending and surface payment analysis to Mariko
Phase one was originally scoped around the LMS, which paused while focus shifted to the current app build. James needs to reconcile deliverables against budget before initiating phase two funding. Mariko wants to keep development moving and asked James to surface the accounting when ready. Discussed at 39:11.
Reach out to Kevin Triplet to schedule three-way meeting with James to assess Project Weave integration potential
Mariko to contact Kevin Triplet and arrange a three-way conversation with James to better understand the current state of Project Weave development and what integration with Holomovement might look like. Mariko wants to clarify whether this is a live project or still conceptual before committing bandwidth. Discussed at 42:05 and 42:13.
Connect with Hera to coordinate Wave event accommodations and team-rate ticketing for James and Emily
James and Emily have already purchased plane tickets to Lisbon for The Wave event. Mariko to work with Hera to sort out accommodations and get James in at a team rate. James and Emily are also planning days in Lisbon before the event and will fly to the Azores afterward for their honeymoon. Discussed at 42:47 and 43:25.
Follow up with Zenka on Adam Hall and Purpose Lab payment confusion to get clarity on financial situation
Adam Hall reached out to Emanuel requesting payment for something Zenka had consistently communicated was free. Zenka is working to clarify what Adam is referring to. James noted Adam has always represented this as a voluntary contribution. Mariko to follow up with Zenka to resolve the situation. Discussed at 16:24.
Coordinate with Zenka on Purpose Lab podcast planning and page consolidation direction
Purpose Lab podcast is wrapping up current batch of filmed episodes with new recordings starting soon. James suggested consolidating the Podcast page and Purpose Lab page into a single cleaner experience — grid of guests, latest episodes, and lab information. Mariko to coordinate with Zenka on next steps. Discussed at 18:00 and 21:45.
Implement magazine homepage preview section with email-gated full viewer before app launch
Feature a preview of the new Holomovement magazine on the homepage to create awareness, then place the full viewer behind an email capture gate to build the list. James has already built a viewer that can be embedded. Move this workflow into the app once it launches. Jill is looking at a near-term release window. Discussed at 19:34.
Determine default matchmaking criteria versus user-selectable criteria for the assessment-based matching system
Assessment data will feed optionally into the matching algorithm. Users could decide what criteria they're matched on when requesting a matchmaking analysis, but some default matching criteria would apply automatically. This decision needs to be made before full matching integration. Discussed at 36:00.
Assessment system with AI-powered engagement features feeding automation workflows. Data from assessments, clicking patterns, lesson completion, and call attendance triggers personalized communication including immediate tailored emails, weekly progress updates, connection recommendations based on profile matching, and proactive check-in offers when engagement drops. Guatemala-specific assessment page created requiring customized copy. Current synergist directory demonstrates existing assessment capabilities: members complete form triggering automated n8n and Claude AI analysis of responses about purpose, projects, and ancestral wisdom influences. System generates personalized feedback and recommends connections to other synergists based on compatibility, facilitating introductions via email without exposing addresses. Also suggests relevant podcast episodes. No-login approach removes participation barriers while enabling intelligent matching and communication. Strategic shift to progressive engagement model: members start with basic five-minute profile setup (name, website, purpose statement, location), then complete more detailed assessments later. Each completed assessment adds elements to profile and unlocks new features. Gamification includes AI-generated icons, tarot card archetypes, or numerology graphics appearing on profiles as users complete different assessments. Incremental assessment launch strategy releasing new assessments every week or ten days leading to Wave event, using Ripple gatherings and Miracle Club to promote participation. Partnership opportunities with experts for themed assessments (Don Beck for Spiral Dynamics, Vedic astrologer for astrology, iOS Zone of Genius team for their assessment). Critical reassessment of assessment strategy prioritizing basic intake form capturing most important factors: development level, experience, life stage, purpose, and current needs as primary assessment for matching foundation. Systems like Gene Keys and numerology recognized as requiring belief in astrology/numerology to feel relevant, limiting universal applicability. Focus shifting to actionable, practical data enabling computational matching based on clear criteria rather than archetypal personality typing. When matching collaborators, users need to understand skills, experience, current needs, and project involvement rather than personality scores. AI-driven matching requires developmental stage, experience level, project involvement, and specific needs to avoid misaligned matches like pairing serial entrepreneurs with college freshmen. Meeting confirmed approach of using simple 1-to-10 scale assessments for numerical scoring and spider graphs but deferring complex compatibility scores for MVP. AI interpretation via Claude for free-text fields and nuanced alignment, direct computation for explicit matches like shared affiliations or complementary skill requests. Michael coordinating with Emmanuel on potential assessment questions to gauge user alignment. Team now planning 5-6 domain assessment (5 makes pentagram shape, 6 makes star shape) using simple multiple choice format outputting 1-10 scores per metric with spider graph visualization (37:24). Demonstrated working client assessment as reference - multi-screen flow with logic-based classification, no agentic analysis required. Key design principles: spectrum-based framing rather than qualitative scoring ('does this sound like you or not?' vs 'how good are you at this?'), questions should feel neutral and interesting to avoid test-taking bias (MMPI/Myers-Briggs problem of answering how you want to appear), completable in 10 minutes or less, more candidate questions per domain than needed for culling weak ones (40:52, 48:29). Mariko advocated for including at least one fun gift-like assessment (e.g. numerology mandala tool) people would do for the experience that enriches profile organically without feeling like data extraction (41:56). James floated longer-term vision of garden of assessments users can choose from with power to decide which assessments inform matching - astrological/numerological inputs become opt-in rather than default. New numerology mandala tool demonstrated building visual in real time as user types, team expressed integration interest (43:44). Michael Shaun starting shared document immediately with candidate domain names and draft questions for team review, holding internal review with Hera before broader socialization (40:52, 52:43). Working prototype built with five-domain assessment featuring slider-based positioning system across spectrums (22:37). Five domains: Holonic Worldview (separative/analytic to holistic/integrative), Purpose Orientation (exploring/emergent to directed/activated), Pro-Social Stance (deep one-on-one to community-wide/systemic), Collaborative Capacity (independent to collective), Time Horizon (near-term to long-arc/generational). Results render as nine-pointed spider graph and bar chart. Slider format keeps assessment accessible without overwhelming users (25:36). Community-level visualization capability floated - overlaying 100 profiles to reveal collective orientation of holons or comparing holons against each other (29:17). Next development step: adding archetype outputs (e.g., 'super connector') with brief descriptive text for each result profile. Assessment data feeds optionally into matching algorithm with users able to decide matching criteria when requesting analysis, though some default criteria apply automatically (36:00). Prototype ready for Holomovement team Thursday meeting demo (40:46).
Custom membership system architecture for user authentication, progress tracking, and database management using Supabase for backend. Requirements include real database for user progress (not cookies), journal entry capture, API triggers for membership status and course purchases, and progress tracking across sessions. Decision made to build custom solution on Supabase rather than Member Stack. Includes Stripe integration for subscription management and automatic access revocation when subscriptions lapse. Multiple products may connect to same membership tier with bundled offerings granting multiple memberships from single purchase. Part of Phase One development with $16K-$29K budget. Requires hiring Supabase specialist for implementation. Timeline aligned with LMS development for February 10th launch. Authentication spike will establish foundation with Supabase login functionality on MAST template, implementing user profiles, password management, and session handling. System will sync membership status between Stripe and Supabase for automated access control. Backend successfully operational with membership login and content gating complete using Supabase and Stripe. Profile editing integration in progress to connect with directory system. Backend approximately 90% complete with primary goal to deliver working version on Holomovement site for team testing this week allowing account creation, login, and profile data editing. Front end minimal at this stage consisting mainly of login pages until profile pages developed. Profile creation flow now implemented as linear step-by-step process requiring profile completion before directory access (09:38). Sign-up flow includes friendly nudges for empty bios when hitting next (12:42), optional social profiles with language like 'you can always come back later' to reduce drop-off (12:30), loading screen during profile generation with engaging copy like 'making connections' (15:15), AI-generated banner images based on user bios (15:47), and light/dark mode toggle inheriting system settings by default (16:39). System enforces profile completion to ensure data quality and prevent half-finished accounts cluttering database (11:21). Dark backgrounds use deep teal rather than pure black, light mode avoids stark white to maintain Holomovement brand feel (14:35). Simplified pill-style member modal implemented with collapsed/expanded states showing two lines by default, expanding on hover to reveal icons for messages, Holons, and light/dark mode toggle (13:06). Notifications aggregate into single indicator on Holon icon with changing number rather than multiple dots. Three profile image preview styles (circle, square, doorway/vertical) included in signup flow to ensure photos work across all use cases (07:44). In-app messaging system now live using custom-built architecture with no per-message cost, styled similar to iMessage with unread message counts, conversation threading, and future group chat capability (09:37). Email notifications handled via Resend - free up to 3,000 emails/month, then $20/month for up to 50,000 (23:56). Holon management flow improved with clear delegation model between members and admins using invitation system rather than automatic adds (04:08). Location automation uses lightweight AI call to convert entered location into coordinates for near real-time map updates (26:27). Saving bug affecting profile updates, feedback, and location syncing identified and resolved during meeting (26:27). Community consent flow being added as pop-up on first messaging use with scrollable community agreements and required checkboxes covering non-partisanship, anti-spam, entity usage rules, and conduct standards (18:00). GDPR compliance considerations noted with Webflow plugin available for data erasure rights and cookie consent (17:46). Pay What You Want contribution system now under active development with slider UI allowing users to select suggested range ($15-$20/month) with secondary scholarship tier option for lower amounts. Two-screen approach framed as gift rather than discount with wave-based slider visual showing increasing amplitude. Annual gift toggle option added with doubled impact messaging. System includes familiar Stripe checkout supporting Link, Amazon Pay, and other methods. PayPal integration planned for better international accessibility (18:35, 19:30). Working wave-amplitude slider prototype built with predefined moments shifting wavelength visually, translatable directly into payment UX (19:47). Prototype ready for core team testing within next couple days with front-end UI included (53:10). Thursday core team meeting target for showcase (54:22). Modal menu interface introduced featuring compact notification/settings control with light mode toggle - described as small detail that meaningfully elevates experience (38:05). Three developers now working on Webflow implementation: Sean (Ohio, senior), Siam (Pakistan, junior), with Ivan handling less bandwidth due to outside client work (34:00).
Strategic enhancement of directory system integrating with membership capabilities to enable member profile management, progressive assessment completion, and intelligent matching. Members can log in and edit their profiles directly with information stored in Supabase for flexible content management. Progressive engagement model starts with basic five-minute setup (name, website, purpose statement, location), then enables detailed assessments later. Each completed assessment adds profile elements and unlocks features including AI-generated visual representations (icons, tarot archetypes, numerology graphics). Integration with Claude AI enables sophisticated queries like 'who should I collaborate with on this project?' or 'who can provide funding?' across network assessment data. Advanced features include weekly emotional mapping interface with six-axis emotional space (excitement, nervousness, grief, etc.) aggregating into community climate visualizations. Reimagined map interface using flat Earth projection with layered filtering showing member locations, funding flows, collaborative connections, project relationships. Multiple view modes from simplified default to complex multi-layered 'Arcturian' views. Integration with Engine for Good grant program where applications link to member profiles, creating incentive structure for profile completion. Team pivoted to prioritize directory system over LMS development. Player card approach focuses on game-like profiles emphasizing what someone is doing (project/mission) and what help they need for AI-powered matching. System summarizes lengthy inputs into concise scannable formats. MVP launch target February 15 with login capability, profile editing, and integrated assessments. Beta testing program follows to identify next priority features. Critical development discussion revealed MapBox visualization provides initial visual interest but limited practical value beyond local connections - intelligent matching algorithms represent the true 'killer app' rather than map visualization. Profile data strategy shifting from personality assessments to actionable information: developmental stage, experience level, current project involvement, specific skills, and active needs. Visual consistency issues identified with user-uploaded images requiring standardization. Question emerged whether Holons function as independent entities or collections of individual members, requiring data architecture decisions. Simplified terminology 'members and groups' proposed over 'Holons' for newcomer clarity. Basic intake form planned capturing development level, experience, life stage, purpose, and current needs as primary assessment for matching foundation. Player card UI concept introduced featuring icons to symbolize key information, AI-generated summaries to condense lengthy responses, and achievement badges displaying completed courses, assessments, and accomplishments. Design iteration process planned where team scans test cards to validate information hierarchy. Sandbox database creation for core team to fill out profiles and review each other's player cards as real-world test. Prototype development progressing with profile creation, editing, viewing, and password resets functional in Supabase. Munia developing first draft UI designs. Team agreed to reduce text density, create more visual/scannable interfaces. Multiple views prototyped: alliance view, profile editing, directory search (list and map-based), member profiles, holon profiles. Core intake fields defined: name, date of birth, email, phone/SMS/WhatsApp, location, purpose/mission, gifts and requests, alliance affiliations, short bio (150 words max), photo. Matching deferred from numerical compatibility scores to simpler connection signals: complementary skills, matching needs/offers, alliance overlap, geographic proximity, shared purpose domains. AI interpretation via Claude for free-text fields, direct computation for explicit matches. App functionality to be hosted on separate subdomain (app.holomovement.net) with member-specific navigation, syncing public profile data to main site member globe. End of February target for core team interactive prototype. 3D globe navigation now live with lightweight custom rendering approach using continent outlines without full Mapbox tile loading for smooth performance (05:52). Globe features toggle for flat view, hover-activated profile cards, connection lines between members and holons. People appear as yellow dots, holons as teal hexagons algorithmically placed at center of members (01:22). Profile creation flow implemented as linear step-by-step process requiring profile completion before directory access (09:38). Photos strongly encouraged with friendly nudges if skipped, social profiles optional. AI-generated banner images based on user bios producing resonant results (15:47). Light/dark mode toggle available inheriting system settings by default (16:39). Dark backgrounds using deep teal rather than pure black, light mode avoiding stark white to maintain Holomovement brand feel (14:35). Vertical player cards chosen for directory view over horizontal layouts for gamified engaging presentation (37:52). Team seeding platform this week with core team members completing profiles Monday/Tuesday, creating holons Wednesday, reviewing experience Thursday core call (43:53). Polish focus prioritized over new features with delivery target Monday February 17 (41:20). New bento-style profile layout introduced with rounded corners, centered tagline, framed profile image, and subtle background color differentiation between sections (14:21). Rich text field with optional image upload added to represent projects or organizations more expressively beyond plain text (32:10). Testimonials system (potentially rebranded as 'Send Some Love' or 'Share the Love') enables mutual endorsements with reciprocal vouching mechanics (34:54). Field feature replacing 'wall' concept allows users to post updates and collaborative content with pinning capability (39:43). Long-term vision includes drag-and-drop section ordering for personalized profile storytelling. Assessment display framework showing sliders across domains added as visible badges on profiles. Seeking/Offering keywords auto-distilled from freeform text using AI summarization to aid readability and matching. On-demand match experience triggered by 'Match Me' button generates side-by-side comparison modal with numerical score (1-100, shown on hover), loading animation, and meaningful dimensions including complementary skills, needs/offers alignment, shared alliances, overlapping domains (26:00, 19:02). Match score and comparison view designed as sticky gamified feature incentivizing profile completion (24:35). Domain categories refined: 'Economics and New Systems' → 'Economics and Collaborative Commerce', 'Governance and Social Change' split into 'Collaborative Governance' and separate social change, 'Spiritual Activism and Inner Development' → 'Spirituality and Consciousness', additions include Ethics and Philosophy, Science, Leadership and Facilitation as 12th domain, potential Psychology embedded in community/relationships (43:00-48:22). Onboarding copy and tooltip language prioritized for clarity on unfamiliar terms with short hover descriptions (one sentence max). Implementation timeline: 7-10 day dev window for new design style, Field feature, preliminary matching functionality followed by internal testing with core four, then broader core team rollout (41:07, 40:08). First impressions prioritized with cautious rollout protocol to ensure solid initial experience. Messaging icon refined from email-style button to message icon to better reflect in-platform nature (13:29). UI review scheduled for Thursday 8:00 AM PST to review Munia's designs before implementation begins (01:01:00). Current matching UI mockup reviewed with feedback that original version felt more alive - newer version reads as sleeker but more corporate with less warmth and weaker visual hierarchy (27:13, 38:04). Reach Out and View Profile CTAs should move to bottom of card rather than upper right where users naturally scan (36:41). Tags and match scores alone don't generate emotional pull - team wants short generative sentences explaining connection in plain language (35:34). Proposal to keep computational tag-matching in background but surface as friendly narrative with matched tags highlighted inline (33:42). Match bars per domain could appear as visual shorthand but not primary read. Left-column list of recommended connections suggested so users can scan and click through (39:40). Matching view should be triggerable from profile page with 'show me my connection' button working both as recommendation feature and relationship deepener (42:01). Page could use yellow more heavily as visual marker for person-to-person connection territory (42:32). Matching feature approximately two weeks out, new design elements expected Monday (44:37, 45:13). Newer version of globe interface now features animated lines rising over sky, wrap/unwrap hologram-like animation on globe itself, and nation borders being added for better orientation (21:29). Team responded enthusiastically with strong positive feedback. Design refinement notes include keeping nation borders close to background color so continent outlines pop more strongly, and maintaining transparency/see-through hologram effect. Prototype ready for core team testing within next couple days, targeting Thursday showcase (53:10, 54:22). Test user profile cleanup planned before next tester wave - deleting obvious test entries while preserving profiles with real effort (53:23). Holon pages in active build with full-bleed banner with circular profile display and rotating ring of member avatars; admin/highlighted members to be visually distinguished. Footer gradient variants reviewed with preference for third option featuring darkening fade. Domain icons being enhanced by Moenja with color differentiation - important so icons don't visually bleed together; colors should complement brand palette. Team targeting Thursday Holomovement meeting for new UI and assessment demo (40:46).

Mariko Pitts: No, I can't hear you. Can't hear you. No, got nothing. Hold on. Is it me? Let me just check. Hold on.
00:00:44
james: How about.
00:00:44
Mariko Pitts: Okay, got you. All right.
00:00:47
james: Okay, cool.
00:00:48
Mariko Pitts: What's up? Oh, good. No, good, good, good. You know, it's been a little bit of a weird Monday, but actually pretty good at the same time. A little slower start than I. Than I schedule actually originally intended, so that was pretty good. Oh, man. How was your weekend?
00:01:11
james: It was good.
00:01:14
Mariko Pitts: Just working.
00:01:14
james: Been working. On what?
00:01:18
Mariko Pitts: Just working.
00:01:19
james: Just working. Well, I got to work on art all weekend.
00:01:25
Mariko Pitts: Oh, that's fun.
00:01:27
james: So I had to finish submitting this stuff for this art project, and it's all about collective awakening.
00:01:37
Mariko Pitts: Oh, that sounds cool.
00:01:39
james: Yeah. And this is one of the things. Check it out. It's the theme of the book is collective awakening. And so I. I found 150 artists and writers and musicians around the world, mostly millennial.
00:02:05
Mariko Pitts: Huh.
00:02:09
james: And made this globe for exploring their work, complete with, like, this music player that sticks down there while you explore things and.
00:02:23
Mariko Pitts: Wow.
00:02:25
james: And we can view it flat, like the hollow movement, and we can view this gallery and sort by medium. And I found so many cool musicians and artists and people and communities. I put the wave up here. We got the wave coming. So, yeah, this was fun.
00:03:00
Mariko Pitts: Who? How.
00:03:02
james: Taking the globe to a whole new level.
00:03:03
Mariko Pitts: And definitely everybody's playing with maps these days. Yeah, it's not just us. It's like, I was just meeting with. Do you know, have you heard of Ravi Meta? I think he's a billionaire. I believe he's a billionaire. He made it up to that. He's buying the space company. Space Perspective. It's the one with the big air balloon, the one that can go up for two hours. You know, that. Like a Michelin dinner and all kind of going on in that. Well, he's in the middle of finalizing the sell on that. I mean, the. The purchase on that. But he's been working on something incredible, too, and some maps around campaigns, like bigger campaigns and events and things that people can rally and get behind. And it's a cool platform. He's got a prototype that he was showing me. I was. I met with him this weekend, and he wants to kind of get in and play with the whole moment too. He's, like, really stoked with what we're. We're up to. But, yeah, it was just hilarious. I mean, his map had nothing on ours, but it was just hilarious to see how many people are just focused on maps, you know, just like him. And I Think Kevin Triple was talking about some map stuff and other stuff. I'm like, oh, my God. Everybody wants a damn map. The World Wildlife foundation, they want to get on our map with their wildlife experiences and stuff like that. And I'm like, oh, my God, what is going on? Crazy cool. And then he comes with this cool other map. I know. It's like map season, man.
00:04:34
james: Maps are where it's at. We want to see. See what we're doing and where we're going. Speaking of maps, check this one out real quick. Just because it's. It's a map. I don't know why I'm so out of focus, but that's okay. The 3D. Let's ray trace it.
00:05:12
Mariko Pitts: Oh, is that a Taurus in the map?
00:05:15
james: Taurus, yeah. Taurus Tortastical. This is another one of the art pieces I was working on. It takes a while to render, actually, while I'm on zoom. But here's a quick view. Playing with this Taurus geometry all made out of math.
00:05:43
Mariko Pitts: Oh, my God.
00:05:46
james: Interwoven. And then playing with putting the. Putting the earth on that.
00:05:52
Mariko Pitts: Wow.
00:05:56
james: Super fun.
00:05:57
Mariko Pitts: That is pretty cool.
00:06:00
james: Looks nice from the top down, too.
00:06:02
Mariko Pitts: Oh, yeah, that's sweet. What's that. What's this our project about? For the most part, just seeing the energy flows or.
00:06:15
james: Yeah. I made six different pieces about collective awakening. Some of them were old, actually, and some of them were new
00:06:35
Mariko Pitts: and.
00:06:35
james: But they all kind of tie together in six different mediums. Like, this was a installation piece I did in college where you would go and see your. Your reflection superimposed in your shadow and the. In the mirror and the light reflecting on the ceiling and this wheel of time, deep watercolor people.
00:06:59
Mariko Pitts: And
00:07:02
james: this is the rendering that came out of the Taurus. It's like this cool Taurus world. But what I love about it is that it's all made out of math. It's just, like, pretty simple equations woven into each other. And then this sculpture and then that. That globe and then this poem that I'm working on that I gotta finish. I got a good day. Yeah.
00:07:32
Mariko Pitts: Wow. All right. Yeah, you've been busy. We're fine. Working on the creative. Out the. You know, the output there. Creative output looks like it's pretty good.
00:07:40
james: Little side project. How was your weekend? Meeting with billionaires?
00:07:48
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, pretty much. Yeah.
00:07:50
james: Cool.
00:07:50
Mariko Pitts: Rachel Morrison came down, flew into town in LA and met with the billionaire on Saturday. Hung up on Sunday. Kind of chilled out a little bit, which is nice. Got a little break in, and, yeah, I woke up with A bunch of meetings got canceled and I was like, wow, that's fantastic. You know. So, yes, I had to move some things around though. But still, it's all good. Yeah. So one thing, because I know Michael, Sean is on the boat to Antarctica. Hera is sick. I think poor things got like a fever. We can do a quick update what's happening, but also wanted to talk to you about the Kevin triplet thing. Have you had a chance to look at that?
00:08:41
james: Yeah, I did. Oh, and Michael's going. He's on a boat. Danar. Is he on that sailing ship thing?
00:08:49
Mariko Pitts: I can't remember what thing is called, but it's an event he's a part of.
00:08:54
james: Cool. I got artists on every continent for this awakening map. So maybe he can. He can find somebody on Antarctica to join the map. Hilarious penguins in there.
00:09:14
Mariko Pitts: We could text him and see what happens. Yeah, I'm sure you can get something.
00:09:20
james: Yeah, I talked to Kevin maybe a week and a half ago and read that doc, what's happening there. Sounds exciting.
00:09:31
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, I mean, I haven't really figured out exactly what it all is. I figured, you know, we'll start with bringing in some people that are a little bit more versed in this kind of thing. And. But he was saying that there's about. He's more investor and he's kind of the tech advisor on it, on this project. And I think they just tested out the. They tested out Project Weave with Linux successfully and they need to integrate it. I'd like to integrate it into some deeper communities. And one thing, you know, he's obviously been deep in the hola movement too, and really understands the community that we. We attract. And he's like, well, you know, I was. I need the culture and to test this stuff and you guys will be the right culture. And instead of building the technology that then. Then working on trying to invite culture and the right people into it and try to see if there's just, you know, the everyday person can do it and work with it. He's like, why don't we just. I find you guys to do it and bring it in and we can integrate it and use, you know, the community and the culture, which is the right people that we want to be working with, to test out this, to use the software anyway. And I was like, well, okay, well, maybe I'll pass this over to James and see if he can actually decipher exactly what this is and see if this is even a viable option for first to see. But I know, I mean, we're talking about trust factors. And, you know, I haven't looked at the document this morning, but. But I did have like a chad GPT give me a little synopsis of the document so I can better understand it
00:11:21
james: about it.
00:11:22
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, I might have. I might have shared a little bit about it, but, yeah, this between us
00:11:32
james: share that kind of thing with Claude. Not with.
00:11:36
Mariko Pitts: I know I was like, probably should have. That was before all this went down. It was crazy. Yeah.
00:11:45
james: Oh, my God.
00:11:47
Mariko Pitts: Anyway, so. Yeah, I don't know, but what do you. What do you think? What are your thoughts on?
00:11:55
james: Sounds exciting to me. I was actually talking with, you know, Brian Russo.
00:11:59
Mariko Pitts: Yeah.
00:12:01
james: I was talking to him about a very similar thing, coincidentally, and somebody else that he knows who's maybe involved in the same project. Sounded so similar. But essentially my sense of it is that it's a. Well, Kevin uses the word infrastructure.
00:12:29
Mariko Pitts: Yeah.
00:12:30
james: Which. And protocols and protocols are like HTTPs or, you know, ISP and all these things that are kind of the backbone of the Internet that we never really think about and see. And most people don't even know what they mean. And we kind of inherited them. And they were built for a web that was much more simple than the one we have now. And they were built by, you know, many of them, you know, entities and organizations that don't have the kinds of things in mind that we can have in mind now. And so my sense is that Kevin and his crew are building a more intelligent system from the ground up that can do a number of things, including kind of become an alternative Internet if the Internet becomes compromised and have new systems for trust and relationality online. And I have lots of questions and curiosities and things I just don't understand about it yet. But it's definitely aligned with what we're doing in the Hollow Movement. It's not necessary for what we're trying to do. You know, it's way more technically advanced, and the. The kinds of things that we're building into the Hollow Movement app are the kinds of things that are going to be applicable and maybe even more important on the kind of infrastructure that he's building. So. I definitely want to learn more and get a better sense of what the. The implications are and the opportunities are. But I bet that there's lots of. Lots of ways to interface. And I love the idea of the Hollow Movement being a kind of source of culture and culture as currency, maybe. I don't know if I want to say that or not, but, like, it has this incubatorial potential and. And I want to do more things to incentivize more. More culture, too. So it's not. It doesn't just become a platform for testing nerd stuff.
00:15:31
Mariko Pitts: Right, Exactly.
00:15:32
james: But, you know, is also. Capable and functional for a number of things. I also talked to Zanka last week briefly, and Adam.
00:15:48
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, what happened with that? Because this whole thing, it turns out, by the way in the back end, that Adam hall talked to Emanuel last week and also basically said that we owe him money for something that Zena has been telling us that it's been free. So. And I'm like, hold up. Everything needs to stop because I don't know what's going on. And Zenka is like, on a mission to try to clarify what he's talking about because she's never heard him ask for payment about something. But he actually went to Emmanuel and was like, hey, kind of need to get paid on this issue. We were totally like, what are you talking about?
00:16:24
james: Really?
00:16:25
Mariko Pitts: Yeah. So, yeah, I.
00:16:30
james: I mean, he's always told me that he's doing this for free and, like, happy to do it.
00:16:36
Mariko Pitts: Awesome. I thought, too.
00:16:38
james: I don't know. The sense I get is he's like, kind of desperate for his thing, like, taking off, and it's like a neat. A neat tool, neat widget. The new version is cool, but. And I don't know what he's charging for. I wouldn't pay for it, but I. I can't really.
00:17:04
Mariko Pitts: It doesn't hook me. There's nothing to it that I'm like, well, I mean, it would be great if it did more, if I didn't have to actually go on the back end. And actually, at least it was the last written version of it where I had to actually choose the parts and the videos and all these other things. I was like, it's just too much work. You know, I had to choose actual. All the focal points.
00:17:29
james: Yeah, yeah, but. And what's going on with the Purpose Lab in general? Like, podcast.
00:17:43
Mariko Pitts: Yeah. And shifting. There's new recording studio that Zanka's got the. Most of the episodes, I believe, are out now for the most part. So I think I. I need to have that meeting with Zinc, but to kind of get an idea of where the next evolution of it is going. But she's definitely taking the gear and some new interviews are going to be taking place soon, so. Yeah. Do you know how many we have in the back end total? Yeah. Right. Yeah. So I think we're almost at the end of the ones that we've had already. Filmed. So those interviews. So, yeah, new interviews are going to be starting up soon.
00:18:27
james: Cool.
00:18:30
Mariko Pitts: Did you get the magazine by any chance? You got the new magazine?
00:18:34
james: The PDF? Yeah.
00:18:35
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, yeah. Okay.
00:18:36
james: This looks great.
00:18:38
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, it's pretty cool. We do need to figure out. Because that'll need to be on our home page in some way too, I think maybe before the. Before the app really kind of launches because I think. I can't remember the dates that Jill was looking at for launching it pretty soon, but she wants to get it out. There's a wait list of people who are waiting for it to want it, but I think we need to figure out if it's just more on our website, just on the homepage currently. And then like an email goes in to sign up for it and then they release and then, you know, then they can download it or something like that, or opens up on a page or something like that. A little hidden gated thing for capture emails or something. I don't know. But we should probably think of that first and then move it into the. The app.
00:19:26
james: Yeah. Cool. I built that viewer for it. We can embed that on a page.
00:19:33
Mariko Pitts: Okay.
00:19:34
james: Behind email sign up.
00:19:37
Mariko Pitts: Okay.
00:19:37
james: And maybe do a preview of it on the homepage.
00:19:41
Mariko Pitts: Yep.
00:19:45
james: And a nice section for that. Yeah. Super cool magazine. I got a demo of this assessment based on what we were talking about last week.
00:20:00
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, let's do it.
00:20:03
james: I'm gonna check this out, so.
00:20:05
Mariko Pitts: Oh, by the way, just to finish up that conversation while you're loading this up.
00:20:08
james: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:20:09
Mariko Pitts: With Adam hall. You left that feeling. What? I mean, besides desperate. I mean, is this something we should add to the website or what? Like, should I just hold off and kind of get clear? Obviously I should figure out what the hell's going on with the relational financial situation too, but was this something you thought that we could use or what. What we're building in? I don't want this to take up our time either. Yeah, it's not.
00:20:36
james: Yeah, no, it hasn't taken up any my time yet.
00:20:41
Mariko Pitts: Yeah,
00:20:45
james: he and Zeka wanted to meet about just like updating the one that's currently on the homepage to the new one, which makes sense to me. And I was like, gotta check with Mariko because, you know, the new one is better than the old one. I think in the long term, we want to look at, you know, what. What makes sense to put on the homepage and what doesn't, because that's. That kind of thing might just make more sense being confined to the Purpose Lab page. And. Yeah, so it was just kind of a brief check in about that. And then going over with Zanka about updating the Purpose Lab page, which would be easy for me to do. I think right now we have the podcast page and the Purpose Lab page, and I think that it should just be kind of compressed into one where you don't have to scroll through all the episodes, but you can see a grid of the people, the latest episodes, some information about the lab, just like all in one place. And then maybe with the true guide, the latest true guide thing, if that ended up being on there.
00:22:03
Mariko Pitts: Okay, all right, well, enough about that. I'll consider. I'll talk to Zenka about it. But good to get your input on it though. So.
00:22:12
james: Yeah, she said I forget how many exactly, but over a hundred thousand listens. Sounds like total.
00:22:19
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, it's definitely over 100 something thousand.
00:22:22
james: Yeah. Pretty cool. Pretty cool. Should we look at this assessment?
00:22:33
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, let's go.
00:22:37
james: So I'm playing with these domains, basically the ones that are in the doc right now that we were looking at. The doc consists of just a list of these things right now. But I'm playing with the idea of the spectrum where each of these domains has a pole. So holonic worldview has. Between analyticals or separative and holistic and integrative. So it's like there's not necessarily a right answer. And then you can go through and there's these sub questions and you know, we might not want to get as. As detailed of this, but it's pretty easy. Like my spiritual or philosophical life is separate from my professional work, or my inner life and outer work are expressions of the same thing. And then one through 10, like, where do you find yourself on that? And then they get averaged into a single number. And then same with purpose orientation. Is it. Are you more exploring and emergent or is it directed and activated? And I put these up here just for our own context. I think the form might just have the, the questions and it doesn't need all five. You know, it could just have three of them. But the more we have, the more detailed it can.
00:24:19
Mariko Pitts: The results can be. The way it's set up though, five questions is actually going to be. It's pretty easy to do. It doesn't feel overwhelming the way this is. Yeah, this is slider. If it was like, you know, you have to type anything, then yeah, that's overwhelming. But this is not. This is simple.
00:24:35
james: Exactly. So it would give us a good amount of data without requiring any, you know, much Thought or thinking. It's fun to put ourselves, you know, to think about these questions and move this little guy around pro social stance. I contribute most effectively through deep one on one relationships. Totally fine. Or contribute most effectively through community wide or systemic efforts. You know, maybe I'm more there and then I'll just go through these real quick. Collaborative capacity in independent versus collective time horizon focusing very much now near term or more long arc generational relationship to power.
00:25:36
Mariko Pitts: These are great.
00:25:40
james: Or.
00:25:43
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, no, I'm saying these are really great. I mean it's a good balance. The questions are fantastic. Where it's actually a deeper, you know, understanding of how people operate and function, how they oriented and respected the world. But it's also, it can be. It's a more of a deeper spiritual philosophy as well as some of this too. So this is. I like the way you did this.
00:26:06
james: Awesome.
00:26:07
Mariko Pitts: Like the, the domains specifically are really great.
00:26:11
james: I just pulled them from the dock so I don't know who put those in the dock. But all the things.
00:26:17
Mariko Pitts: Maybe we're already playing with them. Yeah, but it's still great.
00:26:20
james: Yeah, yeah. So economic between market oriented and commons oriented, ecological identity, stewardness, conservation versus regeneration. So it's not like I'm against the. Nobody's going to be against the ecology but some people will be more about stewardship and some people are more radical, regenerative, embedded and then civilizational responsibility, practical focusing on my, on my family and whatnot. You know, nothing wrong with that. Or I'm radical, giving everything to the world, martyring myself or whatever. I might go a little too hard on that front. And then it gives you a nice nine pointed spider graph. Labels are getting cut off here a little bit and bar graph down here as well. With precise scoring it could even generate more assessment. There's no agentic response in here, but it could say, you know, you're a super connector. We could have different types that it could identify and then even give you a little sentence for.
00:27:59
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, I think that would be the next step. That's what I was thinking. Be like really great to have that.
00:28:03
james: Yeah.
00:28:04
Mariko Pitts: Some type of cool identity little piece or something that people can kind of have fun with.
00:28:11
james: Yeah. And, and maybe even move away from the scoring so much because I think generally people are going to be more towards the right in the hollow movement on a lot of these things. But being to the left is not necessarily bad and it's important to have a diversity of views.
00:28:34
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, I think so. Because you're going to get a lot of that. Are Ambassadors, too. And they're not in there. Not yet. Focused on the collective purpose aspect or in a collective part, you know?
00:28:45
james: Yeah.
00:28:46
Mariko Pitts: And if you get. For us to see actually where kind of everybody's at,
00:28:53
james: and if we have these values for each person, the more people we fill out. We could create graphics that combine all of them so we could see 100 profiles at once, and then they would start to blur and blend together, but form these shapes where you get a sense of the community. Or in a Holon, you can see the profiles that all the people in a holon overlaid on each other. And then you can see one, you know, one hole on is more over here, one holon is more over there, etc.
00:29:30
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, I love it.
00:29:33
james: Cool. Great. Well, I'll play with implementing this and aligning it more with the brand.
00:29:47
Mariko Pitts: Okay.
00:29:52
james: And I'll share it with our group on Slack.
00:29:56
Mariko Pitts: Perfect.
00:29:59
james: Is Michael Sean going to be totally offline in Alaska?
00:30:04
Mariko Pitts: Oh, you mean Antarctica. It just depends on the boat. He's on the boat now, so depends on the service as he's going along, but he's not fully off. So you can send him and he'll be checking wherever he can.
00:30:20
james: Cool.
00:30:23
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, I know. Yeah. His partner Alex has been messaging me a bit some, so once they get going and inflow, I'm sure he'll be back online a bit more. So. Okay. So that's fantastic. What else have we got? How's the UI doing?
00:30:42
james: It's doing well. Yeah. We're. I've got three folks working right now on implementing it in webflow and plugging things in. It's getting very close. I don't think we've looked at the Holon pages together.
00:31:00
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, I saw it in the figma, though. I really like this. Yeah. Yeah. These arcs.
00:31:06
james: Yeah. I think this one's my favorite. With the full bleed.
00:31:14
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, it's cool.
00:31:15
james: Banner and the circular profile and then this, like, ring of people. And these could be kind of rotating, so you keep seeing them and there's not always, like, one person at the center.
00:31:33
Mariko Pitts: Okay.
00:31:34
james: And then we talked about. Some people being, like, highlighted. That's not shown up.
00:31:43
Mariko Pitts: Right.
00:31:43
james: But we'd highlight.
00:31:45
Mariko Pitts: Yeah. Right. The ring.
00:31:46
james: Admin, folks. Yeah. I had Munya make a footer as well. Some different versions of this. Curious if you like these.
00:32:02
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, I like the gradient a bit better.
00:32:05
james: Cool.
00:32:09
Mariko Pitts: Yep. I like that. I like the second one.
00:32:13
james: This one.
00:32:13
Mariko Pitts: I mean, I could go with any of the gradients, honestly. Yeah, I'm not. Third one looks pretty cool. I like how it fades. Darkening kind of comes out and into more for lighter fade. But yeah.
00:32:28
james: Yeah, I think. I like.
00:32:29
Mariko Pitts: I like that one too. Yeah, that one's nice.
00:32:36
james: And then she was also playing with adding colors to the. The domain icons. I still gotta fix this one, but
00:32:48
Mariko Pitts: I think that's important instead of the same singular color.
00:32:52
james: Yeah. Because they kind of bleed into each other.
00:33:00
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, I'm gonna. I'm unattracted to any of the specific ones that have to be a certain color, so I'm fine with that. But I agree. Yeah, I think we should probably have them different colors long. This one within them that work with the brand colors.
00:33:12
james: Cool.
00:33:13
Mariko Pitts: Complementary.
00:33:16
james: Great. Awesome.
00:33:19
Mariko Pitts: That looks good.
00:33:21
james: Yeah, these colors work well. Let's look at the live site real quick. I gotta check in with my guys later today. I've got a new. Webflow developer, Sean, in Ohio. Really talented, super professional, good UI designer as well. And then I hired another junior guy, Siam, in Pakistan, who's really talented too, for. For where he's at. Yeah, I know. I'm worried about him. We needed more support because I think Ivan's been taking on more stuff outside of Iris because I was encouraging him to do so and now, now he's a little busy.
00:34:37
Mariko Pitts: Damn it.
00:34:38
james: I'm like, you know, we don't have to be your only client.
00:34:41
Mariko Pitts: That's hilarious.
00:34:43
james: Now I can't get him to do anything.
00:34:45
Mariko Pitts: That's hilarious. That's funny. Sounds good. Oh, when are the AI assessments or the AI matchmaking kick in? Just more. More people doing the profiles and then it starts kind of play with that. Or how does that work?
00:35:07
james: We should plug in the assessment first.
00:35:11
Mariko Pitts: So then plug in the assessment and use that as well. For the matchmaking.
00:35:15
james: Yeah.
00:35:15
Mariko Pitts: Or are we not going to use it for matchmaking? What are you thinking? If we can. I think that's just more information that it can use to support.
00:35:23
james: Yeah.
00:35:23
Mariko Pitts: How. What do you think?
00:35:25
james: I wanted to give people the option.
00:35:28
Mariko Pitts: I like that.
00:35:31
james: So that they can decide
00:35:36
Mariko Pitts: was it like at the end of the assessment or something? It's like, would you like to include this in your profile for enhanced matchmaking or, you know, something like that. How does that work?
00:35:46
james: I mean, when they go to. To like request matchmaking analysis, they can decide on what criteria they're matched on.
00:36:01
Mariko Pitts: Interesting. Do we automatically apply some matchmaking though, or do they have to come in and do that?
00:36:17
james: I think we, we. We should automatically apply some things.
00:36:21
Mariko Pitts: I would hope so. Okay.
00:36:22
james: Yeah. Oh, I'm not signed in as the right account. That's that's. Okay. It's kind of in pieces right now in webflow. But we have these new cards. We have. We have a new map. Actually, I don't think it's connected, but I've been improving that.
00:37:16
Mariko Pitts: Fun.
00:37:16
james: So it. Yeah. We have our new profile. Yeah. And. Let me go to. I'm logged in over here. We have this new modal menu. Can you see that? Really excited about this, so.
00:37:45
Mariko Pitts: Oh, that's cool.
00:37:47
james: It shows you. If you have a notification and then you open it up and you can see, like, is it a message or a holon thing? And then you can drop it down and have these settings and go into light mode and stuff like that.
00:38:05
Mariko Pitts: I like that. What is such a cool small, like, remote.
00:38:10
james: I know, right?
00:38:11
Mariko Pitts: Great little remote.
00:38:12
james: It's so cute, those little things that take it to the next level. I spent way too much time on it, but I love nerding out on that. And we got the whole on page coming along.
00:38:37
Mariko Pitts: I love the full blade, though.
00:38:39
james: Yeah. So, yeah, we should be able to plug everything together in the next couple days or so. Okay.
00:38:51
Mariko Pitts: No, it sounds great. Just linking when. Do you need another payment too, by the way? Have we looked at that? We need to look at phase two and some. Some stuff. I don't know, maybe not this today, but should probably think about that and look at where you're at with things and where we're at.
00:39:11
james: Yeah, probably soon. I gotta do an analysis of what. What we've done and what I've spent. Because phase one was initially supposed to be the lms, and then we kind of paused that and jumped into this other stuff. So I gotta. I gotta do some accounting.
00:39:33
Mariko Pitts: Okay. All right, well, let me know when you're ready with that. We can keep things going. I don't want anything kind of going to a halt and you're like, oh, got all these people we hired and I don't know how to pay them yet.
00:39:50
james: Totally. Great.
00:39:51
Mariko Pitts: Yeah. We should just look at the phases and see where we're at before we can like to start bringing people in and our group can test it out a little bit more and then. But yeah, so ultimately, plugging in the ui, hitting the systems and testing it. Where do you think we can. When do you think we could probably get this up and going where we can play with it some more?
00:40:13
james: You guys have another team meeting on Thursday?
00:40:16
Mariko Pitts: Yeah. Every Thursday.
00:40:18
james: Yeah, I'm really hoping for Thursday.
00:40:22
Mariko Pitts: Okay.
00:40:31
james: But there's some unknowns around the assessment. We'll see. There'll definitely be something for Thursday.
00:40:46
Mariko Pitts: Okay. All right.
00:40:48
james: With the new UI and. But probably not the matching yet, but hopefully the assessment that we looked at today, because that's pretty much. If you like that, it's pretty much there.
00:41:01
Mariko Pitts: Yeah, I like that a lot. Okay, cool. Yeah, let's do that. All right. Yeah, just let me know when you're ready for me to look at something and play with it. And I'm always online to jump on it and stuff, and so. And I know Harold will be back. If we need her in the next couple days to do anything or get some more writing done or something for the website copy stuff, we can get it done too.
00:41:24
james: Okay, great.
00:41:25
Mariko Pitts: Cool.
00:41:26
james: Sounds great.
00:41:27
Mariko Pitts: All right. All right, well, I'll let me know if there's anything else that comes up with Kevin, or should probably get maybe a meeting, three of us together with them, and then have them talk through where it's at and what these open protocols look like. And, I mean, I. I definitely need to get back to him and figure out if that's something, if it's down. Way down the line or where he's at with it. I don't know if this is fully just a concept or if there's something else, you know, going on. Sounds like he's testing it in some way, so there's some kind of development already there, these protocols, but I don't know. I don't know if it's out of the realm of what we're doing or something that we might want to consider. Yeah.
00:42:05
james: Yeah, sounds good. Happy to make time for that. Yeah.
00:42:13
Mariko Pitts: Okay, cool. I'll send them a message and see when we can, and then I'll put us on the three. Way to figure out when we can get together, though.
00:42:20
james: Okay, cool.
00:42:21
Mariko Pitts: Cool. But I won't take up much of your time, considering you got a lot going on right now.
00:42:27
james: Definitely. Yeah.
00:42:28
Mariko Pitts: Yeah. All right, James, catch you on the flip side. Yeah.
00:42:34
james: Can Emily and I come to the Wave?
00:42:37
Mariko Pitts: You know, that's so crazy. I was gonna invite you, and I totally forgot to do that. Yeah, of course you can come to the Wave.
00:42:44
james: Great. Because we already bought our plane tickets.
00:42:47
Mariko Pitts: That's. That's hilarious. Can I come? Yeah. Yeah, you can definitely come to the Wave. Let me figure this out. Let me talk to Hera and figure out what the best. Because I'll probably put you as a team, a member, and then we'll figure out what we can do. I don't know what the room counts and all that stuff is yet, because you're going to want to stay at the hotel, but I'll. I'll talk to Hera and see what we can do to get you guys in or whatnot. Okay.
00:43:16
james: Yeah, we're. We're landing a couple days before, I think, and we'll probably spend a little time exploring Lisbon.
00:43:24
Mariko Pitts: Okay.
00:43:25
james: And then a couple days after the event, we're gonna fly to the Azores and finally do our.
00:43:30
Mariko Pitts: Oh, nice honeymoon. Oh, okay. So you. All right. Nice. So you just kind of plug this in some cool. With some cool stuff.
00:43:37
james: Yeah.
00:43:37
Mariko Pitts: All right. Yeah. Let me get back to you then and see what we can do on all the rooming stuff and get you a pretty heavily discounted ticket and all that in, but you should be fine. Cool.
00:43:49
james: Sounds good. Awesome.
00:43:51
Mariko Pitts: I'll probably work you in on the team rate, and then there's something with the rooming for Emily, too, so we'll figure it out.
00:43:58
james: Cool.
00:43:59
Mariko Pitts: Cool.
00:43:59
james: Okay. Yeah, Whatever makes sense.
00:44:01
Mariko Pitts: I'm happy you guys are coming.
00:44:03
james: I can't wait. Gonna be so fun.
00:44:06
Mariko Pitts: It's gonna be a cool one. Yeah. All right, I'll talk to you later. All right, Bye.
00:44:12
james: Cool. Bye.
