Paul Carpenter - Current
Chris LaFay: It's. It. I hope you both are having a fantastic day today. I just got a lead from a friend of mine who needed some help with their Squarespace site. And so I was chatting with her about some various different things that she could do. Her budget's definitely lower than what I can actually help her out with, so I gave her some structure and some ideas of how it could help her. And I don't really think she has the budget to afford you guys to do a full blown website. However, if you're interested, I did ask her about if she would be open to some Squarespace consulting. And this is something that I don't know if you guys do. And I did not promise anything at all because I'm definitely not going to promise something to somebody that I don't know about, something that my friends do or do not do that I'm unaware of. So with that being said, my thinking is that even though this person doesn't have budget for a new site, perhaps you could do a couple of 3045 minute consulting calls at 150 an hour or something like that to where you guys could make 5 or 6, 700 bucks over the span of a month or so and just kind of provide guidance on A, how to utilize Squarespace better, B, how to help her with honing in her messaging a little bit, and C, just helping her with some like basic web design principles to make life a little bit easier for her. I have no idea if that's something that you're excited to do, but I at least found this and wanted to pass it along your way.
Paul Carpenter: Sorry about that.
Chris LaFay: Good afternoon, sir.
Paul Carpenter: Good afternoon to you.
Chris LaFay: Has your week been an exciting one so far? Yeah, yeah.
Paul Carpenter: I was just trying to get off the phone with somebody else who probably would want to be in this little community of plural, so. And he's a four time Emmy award winning sports editor and storyteller.
Chris LaFay: Okay.
Paul Carpenter: I'm telling you, Chris, true. It goes wide and it goes deep, bro.
Chris LaFay: Because why the heck not, right? Why the heck not?
Paul Carpenter: You never know when somebody goes, hey, do you know somebody that can do a documentary on blah, blah, blah. I actually do.
Chris LaFay: You do. There it is. That's what I'm talking about, man. Yeah.
Paul Carpenter: What's going on with you, man?
Chris LaFay: I, I am extraordinarily thankful today because I, we. I think, I think I may have mentioned I downsized the agency at the end of last year and this past week I have closed two projects which I am very excited about.
Paul Carpenter: That is awesome.
Chris LaFay: One of them is with A friend that I've known for a long time and the other is with an agency owner who's somebody that I've also known for a long time. And it's like the stuff that I've been doing and putting out into the world is now kind of coming, coming full circle. So, hey, when you build community and you hang out with people and you do stuff with folks, good stuff happens. What? What? Shocker. Yeah. It's crazy, right? Also, I'm in the process of planning four events over the next four months.
Paul Carpenter: Nice.
Chris LaFay: I'm doing one with Kira, Wire Track. And probably in March, I'm doing a SEMA roundtable and I'm shooting another couple of video content days here soon, so.
Paul Carpenter: Excellent.
Chris LaFay: It's been fun. Needless.
Paul Carpenter: That is awesome.
Chris LaFay: So, ready to dive in?
Paul Carpenter: Yeah, man.
Chris LaFay: So I have. So what I'm going to show you is I have a homepage design. It is different. It is simple, but it is different. It is not what you would normally expect out of a website design, but it. I think it's you. It's short, it's sweet, and it's to the point. It's not. There's not this mega site with 25 different content sections and a humongous navigation bar. It is like five sections. And that's it. Because I think that's all you need. So without further ado, now, there's a couple things that in a design file I can't portray. There's a couple of things that I want to change as I'll. And I'll walk you through those. And so I. I'm gonna pull you.
Paul Carpenter: Over to the bigger one here. So if I'm not looking at you, I'm looking at you.
Chris LaFay: No, no, you are. You're perfectly fine. No, I actually I got. I invested in a teleprompter about six months ago and it's been a life. It's so stupid. It's not literally life changing, but I feel. No, it is better looking at people when I'm looking at the camera and they feel like I'm looking right back at them. It's. There's so much better of a connection. It's great.
Paul Carpenter: I couldn't agree more. Brilliant.
Chris LaFay: All right, here we go. Bada bing, bada boom. So I took. I took your photo, I took your. Just you. You mentioned long form content and I know that you're a music guy and I know you're like people that resonate with that type of stuff, like music and like vinyl records. That feels like it all Matches together. I took the coloration from the flyer that you sent over and that like very simplistic retro feel of like the thin lines. I took the fonts from that as well and some of the like divider sections. And then I took the yellow call to action color. Although it was not in your list, I wanted to pull a color from this like washed out image that I had in the back. So it kind of tied together a little bit. And so the one, this font here I pulled from the, the ticket stub idea. I was originally going to go with a very gridded look because that's kind of really at the core. It's like this like courier type, like typewriter type of font and a very grid like pattern. And so that's actually a little bit of what this is. So even though this was pulled from that flyer, it also, that perforated edge is kind of where I drew that inspiration from as well. Well too. So from a content perspective, I have tools and systems to where I have like messaging outlines built into AI and I take all these notes and I shove it in there and then I tweak and I edit. I don't envision that this is final content, but it was good enough to get over the. It was good enough to get over the hump, to showcase direction. So what I envision happening is that your website will be on this left hand side and then as you go section to section, the image on the right hand side changes.
Paul Carpenter: Oh, wow.
Chris LaFay: I would prefer that you have a photo of you at the very beginning here because I feel like that would be a better connection. I just didn't have a good photo of you. That wasn't like I could have taken like a screenshot of like you're like selfie video walks in the woods, but that just didn't fit. Yeah. And you didn't have a lot of selfies on LinkedIn either. So I just, I stopped trying. So kind of like defining what the stakes are and what you're actually going to be doing for people. The result, the one thing that I would like, I wanted to emphasize text. And so I think I want to actually adjust the content section of this a little bit to where maybe that it's not a call to action, but the descriptive text is a little bit higher up. But I like the idea of like, you gotta get out of the comfort zone here. Yeah. And then actually defining who you are and what you do. This definitely could use some massaging, but I feel like the tone and the punchiness is about right. Obviously you might consider doing retainers, so you might not want that in there. I know you don't want them now, but, you know, they. Things change. You can also. The great thing about text is you can change it the next day if you wanted to.
Paul Carpenter: That's right.
Chris LaFay: That's right. And then this was just a great pull quote. This was definitely a combination of the stuff that you wrote, plus some of the stuff that AI generated and some of the stuff that went through my brain. I was like, this, this just needs to have big bold text right there. And then at the end, I pulled for the last little divider, kind of this like, look from the Pont City Market sign did the divider and then an actual call to action to get moving. So like I said, it's short and sweet. It's not huge. And I think that if we have about four images that will go over here, I would love to have them change when they scroll. And then on mobile, the way that this will probably work is either each section will just kind of have an image right above it, or there will just simply be an image at the very top and then the rest will just be this textured scroll and the images would go away on mobile entirely. So that, sir, is a unique website. Tell me what? I love it. Love it.
Paul Carpenter: I think it's. I mean, it is 95% to me already. Already there.
Chris LaFay: Dope.
Paul Carpenter: Yeah. Like, for me, it's just gonna, like, there's just like small little nuances out and then me getting you some better images that, that you feel like would work.
Chris LaFay: Yeah.
Paul Carpenter: And I, I would, I would launch this tomorrow. Like, I mean, I mean, it's just like, like I said, like my. Immediately, my, my whole account manager, Editor, proofreader from 28 years ago comes to mind and I'm like, okay, let's do this, let's do this, let's do this. But outside of that, I, it's all I could almost do. And I could tell, I could tell you, I could tell you probably right now what I would want. And it's, it's just little nuances, but outside of that, I need to get you images.
Chris LaFay: Yeah, that's really about it. Yeah. And I'm open to. My thing is basically each of these sections need to have an image. So the kind of the header section here.
Paul Carpenter: Yeah.
Chris LaFay: It doesn't come from the comfort zone, matchmaker for the makers doesn't come from a single voice. And then ready to go. I, I don't care. Like, I. People, you know, people pay me for my Opinions and my creative advice. This is 98% my creativity and I actually don't give a crap what images you put over there because your. This is your creative mind and it doesn't matter.
Paul Carpenter: Yeah, I love the one.
Chris LaFay: Yeah.
Paul Carpenter: So to me, that one's gotta stay somewhere.
Chris LaFay: Yeah, exactly. So we got one out of the four already knocked out and done, so. Yeah. Yeah.
Paul Carpenter: Yep.
Chris LaFay: But this is what happens when you send over inspiration that isn't websites is you get to see the scrapbook effect of what can happen. And I am a first. Thank you for taking a risk on my very off the wall process of that questionnaire. That it? I'm testing it out with you and one other person right now. You are uber creative. The other person I'm testing it is with a very businessy person. I knew you wouldn't have a problem with like, send me your photos, man.
Paul Carpenter: I love it. I love it. So I'm a nerd when it comes to, like, good briefs. I just, I always love filling them out for my creative team.
Chris LaFay: Huh? It's a lot of fun.
Paul Carpenter: I'm going to show you something. Yeah. Let me know when you're ready. I want to show you something. I want to show you a couple of things.
Chris LaFay: Yep. You over here now.
Paul Carpenter: So first is, this is very. This will. This will probably make a lot of sense to what you were just talking about. So I want to create what I'm calling dossiers. I'm kind of having this, you know, Agent C. Have you seen that Persona?
Chris LaFay: I don't know. Try. No, I don't know what you're talking about.
Paul Carpenter: Okay. So since I've. Since I've answered a lot of your questions, I'm. I'm like, I'm continuing to move forward with some things. Right.
Chris LaFay: Yeah.
Paul Carpenter: The agent. So if you say agency, right. That's a G, E, N, C, Y. But if you say agent C like 007, it still says agency, but it's Agent Carpenter. Care, Creativity, Compassion.
Chris LaFay: What?
Paul Carpenter: Collaboration.
Chris LaFay: Oh, Agent connection. See, I thought you were talking about like the ocean of water, the sea of. Okay, got, got it, got it, got it, got it, got it. Okay. Yeah.
Paul Carpenter: So I. I want to play that Persona of your Agent C, which happens to also be agency.
Chris LaFay: There it is. Uhhuh. Okay.
Paul Carpenter: Y. And so the, you know, having this, like, agent redacted documents, typewriter face free from the desk of.
Chris LaFay: That fits in well with that.
Paul Carpenter: Okay, it fits in really well with, with what you've done. Even though I'm over here doing other things now, I I took a. You know, like, I'm doing something like a more impact font for a header.
Chris LaFay: Yeah.
Paul Carpenter: Where, you know, the. Where everything else ends up becoming. I think it's, you know, like courier or something.
Chris LaFay: Yeah. Yeah.
Paul Carpenter: So it kind of has that. That juxtaposition. But I'm doing the same thing for every person or company that I want or wants to be on this roster, and it is fill this out.
Chris LaFay: So in a phase two of this, we can then actually put this on your site. We can have a dedicated section for each of them to where you don't even. They don't have to necessarily be, like, linked anywhere on the site, but there will be a dedicated section where if you're gonna send that to somebody, you can say, go to hey, plural.com partner/classic city. And the dossier shows up. Yeah, I'm actually in the process of doing. Did. Do you ever collect baseball cards growing up?
Paul Carpenter: Yeah.
Chris LaFay: You did? Okay, so I'm going to show you this because again, you like weird design stuff and not many people I know are like, freaky ass dope. Where'd I put this up? I put in the I went strong file. I need to go to my. This is about you, not me. But I still think you'll think this is cool. So I'm going to create a partners page on my site as well, too, because, hey, it's a collective, right at the end of the day. So I was like, what is something unique that I could do that is visually interesting? Like the whole retro Mario thing I posted on LinkedIn, Got so much engagement, and you saw it, and I was like, what would draw, like, attention? So 1990s tops baseball cards look really freaking dope. Oh. I don't know if you recognize the 1990 tops baseball cards, but I basically took that exact same style through their branded colors on there. I haven't finished all of them by any stretch.
Paul Carpenter: Oh, my gosh. Amazing.
Chris LaFay: And so, like, I'm like, I'm gonna have a partner's page, which will just be a collection of baseball cards and probably like, on a wooden background, so it's as if they're kind of like thrown onto the table. So anyway, I digress. All that being said is I think it's a fantastic idea and I'm doing the same thing, so.
Paul Carpenter: That'S awesome. And then. Let me see if I can put this in. Can I put this in here? I think I can see. Come on.
Chris LaFay: All right.
Paul Carpenter: Did that come through by any means? No.
Chris LaFay: Email me, chat me. Which one?
Paul Carpenter: No. Hang tight. Here, trying to go into the chat, send a message. You can't put a.
Chris LaFay: You can't upload a. You can't upload a folder, a file into Google Meet chat. Which is stupid.
Paul Carpenter: Yeah. All right, never mind. Let me see if I can pull it up in a window. Hang tight. Let's see. Share a window. Oh, shit. I've got to do a system set reset on that. No, never mind. Let's do this.
Chris LaFay: Bam. Boom.
Paul Carpenter: So see how it kind of like all the redacted information and it looks like it's, you know, like a government type document that's been de. Declassified.
Chris LaFay: Huh.
Paul Carpenter: And the. I, you know, the idea obviously is to pull out. I have, I have about 15 of these, what I would call use cases that just spark a. Oh yeah, my brand does sound like somebody else or it doesn't have a thing. So this is it still fought like, I still feel like the site falls in this kind of aesthetic in many ways. So that would, that I don't wanna, I don't wanna like Chinese menu the stuff to death. So I'm still probably gonna go down the path of, of, you know, sharing these at some point. More from plurals, LinkedIn than Paul's. But you know, I think as far as like the, the overarching design, going from seeing that in social to if anybody ever goes to the website, number one, you know, it's. It doesn't look like that. It's that far of a disconnect.
Chris LaFay: So that's the biggest thing. Like, you just don't want there to be the disconnect like that. At the end of the day, you don't want, like right now, my website, there is a disconnect. If you go to the homepage and it's bloody Mario. And then it's the rest of everything else, but it's intentional. Will it stay there forever and ever? Amen? I don't know. Or will Mario bleed into the rest of my brand aesthetic? Possibly. Probably. And so but anyway, like I. All that being said is yes, I do agree with all that. My one question for you is you're thinking about publicizing more of this on the plural LinkedIn page. LinkedIn gives no credit to businesses at all. So, like, are you, are you okay with that?
Paul Carpenter: Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's. I mean, ultimately I'm still going to be saying those types of things like, hey, are you a brand leader that feels like your company doesn't have a story? Or it's feels like it's the sea of sameness you know, I'll still have that type of narrative as Paul, I just, I, I want to make sure that I do have some placements over there, some activity on the plural side just to show that, oh, it's not a dead thing. Because like Rise Studios, they never had a LinkedIn.
Chris LaFay: Post.
Paul Carpenter: Not one, not even a real, you know, like at least have one thing on there.
Chris LaFay: Yeah.
Paul Carpenter: But as far as, you know, moving forward, how would you, how would you like to move forward to make this real?
Chris LaFay: So I'm going to the net. I closed a couple of deals, so my next couple of weeks I'm in onboarding process. Yeah. And so there's probably going to be about a two week pause here.
Paul Carpenter: Yep.
Chris LaFay: And that will give you a couple of weeks to decide what images you want to put up there. And I'll send you the link to the Figma file. You won't be able to edit it, but you could then just start writing down like you'll have the ability. Actually I'll show you this right now so that it's not a surprise you have the ability to. There it is. Comment directly on here. So rather than having to go and create a Google Doc, this link that you'll have, if you hover over here to the top, there's a little comment button. Click the comment button, your cursor turns into a comment. And so you're like, okay, cool, I want to change this text to whatever you want. Push Enter, it's done. Okay, so do that over the next couple of weeks. If you, if you want to email me a list of four images. If you just want to drop a comment in here like, and say like, hey, this section, use image, blah blah blah, jpeg, perfect. That way I know which one goes with which. You don't have to like describe it 25 times. That would be helpful. And then probably in about two weeks I'll start developing this out. It'll be in WordPress. The one thing that you will need is we. I don't do hosting of websites.
Paul Carpenter: Yeah.
Chris LaFay: And so the host I recommend cost 20 bucks a month. It's called WP Engine. Yeah. And so go get yourself a WP Engine account. That's the only cost that you'll have. And then once it's done being developed, I'll go. The great thing about launching without nobody knowing it exists, you can go live with it whenever. So I will honestly, if you, when you create a WP Engine account, I'll have you give me access to it. We'll go ahead and Point the domain name over there just because it doesn't matter, nobody's going there anyway.
Paul Carpenter: That's right.
Chris LaFay: We'll put, I'll immediately put the site up there and I'll have the content changes that you want already there. And then going live with it is just publicizing it and letting people know that it exists. And so. I would say in probably roughly three weeks or so, I'm going to have a couple of pockets of time. Like my wife is going to go out of town for a few days and that's happening sooner than the two week hiatus that I just mentioned to you. So chances are while she's gone, I will probably just have time. Time and time and time. Yeah. And I'll probably work on it some then.
Paul Carpenter: All good, man. Listen, I, I appreciate your enthusiasm, your creativity, your expertise, your, your recommendations. I, I, I, my, I kind of feel like I'm a student too at this point. Like whatever it takes, you know. Yeah, because I think, and you've been on this journey way longer than I have. But I never wanted to be a solopreneur. I didn't really want to be an entrepreneur. Yet here we are. So there's a lot of obviously fear, am I doing the right thing? What else can I be doing? So every day for me is get one thing done, just one. So I've gotten a couple of things done today. So I feel, I feel like that's a win. But honestly, you and your gift, many gifts are, are that two steps today, they're not just one. So we need to, you know, when we're, when we get closer to this, let's keep thinking about how we help one another, how I can help you. Right. And I hope you end up on this list in some way shape or form and roster and you tell me how I can support you. So yeah, one week, two weeks, three weeks, four weeks, whatever it is, just for it to be right, not forced.
Chris LaFay: Bingo. That all sounds good. I am still thinking through what kind of story we could tell like on LinkedIn. Like I would love to do like a couple of like collaborative posts together but like something like before it launches in preparation and then something as it launches. And also I thought about this today too. One of the questions I asked you was like, give me a list of like 10 people that you could introduce me to for. I had a couple of ideas. All those ideas fell by once this design came out. All of those ideas fell by the wayside. What I was thinking about doing, if it was going to be more of A traditionally structured site that's more horizontal rather than this like vertical column. I was thinking about getting people that know you and like you to like write on sticky notes of different colors one or two words that describe who you are. And I was going to actually use those as texture throughout the site. That they weren't going to feel like they were personal, like private notes to you, but they were really like emphasis points of like, this is what he's good at. Because I know that you don't like talking about yourself as much. And I was like, if I can get other people to say the things for you, this might be a good idea. But with this structure and this layout and style, that did not make sense. So yeah, I did not ignore that list. I just realized I didn't need that list.
Paul Carpenter: I think it, Yeah, I think that's totally fine. And yeah, I know this is still recording, so that's good. One thing that, yeah, the story, the collaboration process to put out there. One of.
Chris LaFay: We.
Paul Carpenter: Let's not forget the genesis. And I don't think you will, but the genesis of a lot of this was seeing your Mario post. Right? Like how, how that can go from one thing to something that has nothing to do with it, but yet it does. That's creativity. It's only a spark. We're trying to make creativity an output and it's not. It's actually the input that's creativity.
Chris LaFay: I have a. I have a list right now of they're not all good and I don't like them, but I have a list of 24 creative experiments that I want to do this year for my brand and talk about them. So like every other week roughly. That's my plan. We'll see if I'm able to hold to it and see what happens. But I. People are draw. People are drawn to creativity because everything is the same. And if you showcase cool looking crap, even if it's not like uber professional and corporate, like no big time corporate person is going to look at the Mario thing that I did or heck, even your site and maybe think that guy can design a great looking B2B professional website. But the thing is, if you showcase weird design that's unique, if you can pull off weird creative stuff, chances are you can also pull off the more standard stuff.
Paul Carpenter: Yeah.
Chris LaFay: And that's. If you're in community with people and you're hanging out with folks and you showcase weird creative stuff in a creative field that's not being as creative as it should be. That should, that should be the Fast track. So.
Paul Carpenter: Yep, yep, I concur, yes. I'm going to send you a couple of things again, not to activate on, but they can sit within your file. You could throw them into Figma, whatever. But it would be. I'll send you a copy of that dossier so you can start to see again. It's even, even how that brief is structured provides a lot of personality I believe in and how I'm briefing. So there's some elements from there. And then I'll send you like that, that post, you know, where it looks like a redacted file. So just hold on to those things as kind of artifacts and then, you know, we can come back when you have time and just start to nuance and, and fine tune this thing so you can move into development.
Chris LaFay: What we could do in phase two, like for the. Let's have this thought for the. The freaking heck, what are they called? The partners, the collective folks. We could actually literally flip the design. So like right now we have content on the left and the imagery on the right. We could literally flip it and then do dark mode instead of. We have it in light mode now because the background where the text is is in that very light kind of bluish gray color. You can actually flip it one singular image of the person, the human that they're probably going to be working with. And then on the right side is where all the text is and it's more, it's a darker color, like a dark gray or dark blue or something like that. And then you have all of the different pieces of that dossier. It's just, it's just basic content is paragraphs and head at the end of the day. But that would be a really simple way of taking what we already have in existence but making it a little bit different.
Paul Carpenter: I like that.
Chris LaFay: And not seeing a visual of that difference. And that would be something that we could do shortly, like fairly shortly after launch. That's not really. That would not be hard. Getting it all built is the hard part. The adding something like that especially so similar would be relatively easy.
Paul Carpenter: Yeah, I want to, I do want to keep it easy and simple and straightforward. And so I appreciate your constraint on keeping it tight. I am going to use every ounce of my body and mind and experience to go, yes, I've told people a million times, keep it simple. So, Paul, take your own advice. Keep it simple. And I love it. So thank you for holding me accountable on that, for suggesting that it's, it's in total alignment with what I believe it's just I don't often act it. So I'm going to act one other quick thing and then I'll let you run. One of my co workers and she would be another one too. I don't know, I may have put her on that list when I was at launch was Shannon Delaney and she used to be the CMO of. It was a financial loyalty program called De Nova. And then she was the VP of marketing for kids too back in the day. So she's like an E commerce brand strategy, content strategy. Like fiend. She's my twin sis. She's me and a female body. We worked amazing together. Amazing. Hav. Still is. Just like she helped me produce speed bumps too. You know the, the talk show that Hob and I had.
Chris LaFay: That's awesome. Okay.
Paul Carpenter: Yeah. So yeah, she. I told her what I was doing. We had a catch up call a week ago and she sparked a lot in me. So that's why I started doing all this stuff in the background. And one of the things was. And I still have a couple of other things to do, but one was she was like, go buy this book.
Chris LaFay: Oh, that's interesting.
Paul Carpenter: Okay, buy this book. It's also a very nice table book. Like it's, it's beautiful.
Chris LaFay: Whoa. I was not expecting that at all. I was like, okay, cool. It's like, you know, like.
Paul Carpenter: No, no, it is, it is like a tech. It's. It's presented almost like a textbook.
Chris LaFay: Interesting.
Paul Carpenter: A design textbook. On page, she goes, I'll tell you right now, go to 1, page 146. And you, before we talk again, you have to complete what's on page 146. And what's on page 146, which I haven't completed yet, is you have to do your own brand brief. So.
Chris LaFay: Oh, that's nice. In detail. Okay. Yeah.
Paul Carpenter: So they give you like the, you know, like these tables of the purpose, audience value proposition, values, personality attributes, key competitors, business product proof points, big idea, what to include, what not to include, creative brief. Like I'm just like, oh, so it's a, it's a lot. I'm gonna try to take that on over the next week. And it doesn't have to be perfect. Right?
Chris LaFay: I.
Paul Carpenter: There's not a chance. I'm not building Pepsi or anything like that, but I want to put some intentionality behind it. So you know, again, your, your Figma file and what you've done is going to actually inspire me to find, you know, like, okay, where the, where, where is their alignment design Tonality wise. And does this hit? Because I gave you a bunch of answers based off of a bunch of early work. And over the last week I've been doing. Or two weeks or whatever, I've been doing a lot more deep work. And so I want to make sure that I don't. I don't complicate things. And I got to keep it straight in my head too.
Chris LaFay: Yeah.
Paul Carpenter: But this was, this was super cool.
Chris LaFay: And I love books that have a good, like, design and structure to them. There's a book that a founder wrote here in Atlanta. It's called Renegades. This blue one here, guy named Binge Miller. And every. Oh, do you know Binge?
Paul Carpenter: He had syrup. Yeah.
Chris LaFay: Yes. So he wrote Renegades recently and recent, like last like four or five years. And every page is an art project for the most part. And when you can combine good content with really good visuals that actually took, like, time to think about. I. The, the. The memories that it connects in my brain are just unparalleled. I'm like, if you can do imagery and good words and put them together, you are a master. Which might be why I like comic books so much. Yes.
Paul Carpenter: Yes.
Chris LaFay: Not because I'm a child, is because the, the story clicks in the brain.
Paul Carpenter: Awesome. Yeah, amazing. Awesome.
Chris LaFay: Well, let's grab a time on the calendar because again, I like to go ahead and deadlines are good. So I'm thinking, what is today? Today is the 21st. 1, 2, 3. 3. Let's look at the week of February 16th. Cool. Wednesday. What about Wednesday, the 18th? In the afternoon? Perfect, perfect. Great. I will send you over. I'm going to actually make this a little bit longer if you're okay with that. Because what I'd like to do is have the homepage pulled up that's coded out, also be logged into the back end. And as we're looking at it, just go ahead and make live, like text tweaks and changes to it so that we can just basically use that time and basically feel like when that's done, it's done. Yeah, love it. Does that sound good to you?
Paul Carpenter: Yes.
Chris LaFay: Amazing website, Live qa. And if we don't need all that time, then great, but I'd rather have it than not. That meeting invite is in your calendar for the 18th and so. Perfect. Lovely. Any other questions, comments, thoughts?
Paul Carpenter: No, just. Yeah, fire over the Figma thing and I'll try to get some of my homework done ahead of that so that we're kind of hitting the ground running.
Chris LaFay: That sounds good. I will go ahead I have a few minutes before my next meeting. I will go ahead and awesome. Get you over a bulleted list. If there's anything that you have question. I'm going to assume that you know a handful of things, things about how to sign up for an account. I think you figure those things out. So I'm going to probably leave some of the details a little bit less. But if there's any questions you have, by all means, just ask. Yeah.
Paul Carpenter: Perfect.
Chris LaFay: Sound perfect.
Paul Carpenter: Awesome. Sounds great.
Chris LaFay: Fantastic.
Paul Carpenter: Thank you, my friend. Appreciate you. You as well.
Chris LaFay: Bye.
