Voices, verbatim.

Every quote in this archive is a real moment from the seven meetings — a line that captured a voice, a turning point, or a piece of meta-commentary the team produced about itself.

I always — I'm going to take us in every direction. I got to stop.

Pulled another all nighter.

Brayden Everton4/8 · 4/29 · recurring

My heart wants to change the world's perspective, but proof is in the pudding, so let's do it that way.

Brayden Everton2026-05-13

Don's favorite statement is 'don't boil the ocean' and then Paul's, 'don't boil the ocean.' Obviously they think Aiyarise is here to try to boil the ocean and we need to put a bit in this raging stallion's mouth.

Brayden Everton2026-05-13

It is an honor to be able to provide the space for you to be an actual human while also developing your professional skill set. We will create a new paradigm for employment.

So we kind of we did this twisted strategic road mapping attempt in a halfbaked level 10 meeting. So that that was my takeaway. That's why I gave it a two two and a quarter.

Brayden Everton2026-04-01

As we evolve as a team here, I think inevitably what we end up doing is just learning how to set up the house of cards or the dominoes. So, we're setting up dominoes together, collaborating, and we set up all the dominoes, and then when we're done setting them up, we just kind of flick the first one, and then we can all go have lunch.

Brayden Everton2026-04-08

I commend the risk management perspective, risk mitigation perspective. I'm operating outside of those values by going on a handshake deal at the for the time being.

Brayden Everton2026-04-08 · re: Kasian

I did that filtering process unilaterally unilaterally and most of the most of the feedback was actually constructive.

Brayden Everton2026-04-15

I already have it going. I was like, my eyes are looking here. It's actually AI's focusing.

Brayden Everton2026-04-29 · response to Sandy's dashboard correction

Right now I'm looking at these rocks and I'm like — oh, it looks like deliverables.

Sandy Liu2026-04-01

That's scary.

Sandy Liu2026-04-08 · re: no Kasian contract

With that methodology you're doing… we're not really debating some of the ideas there because I feel like we probably would benefit from a collective discussion.

Sandy Liu2026-04-15

Why do we care so much about folders?

Sandy Liu2026-04-22

Brayden, please don't go and create another dashboard for this.

Sandy Liu2026-04-29

We are not here to solve like a skills matrix problem in the world. That's not our core business.

Sandy Liu2026-04-29

It might be too concrete a carrot. They don't know if they want a carrot or a pumpkin.

Sandy Liu2026-05-13

Don't waste time. Don't waste energy. Let's work with the really easy-to-convert people first.

Sandy Liu2026-05-13

I have changed minds before and I burned out myself. So I learned.

Sandy Liu2026-05-13

In a fun analogy is like it's a company is like an airplane. So like sales and marketing is like wings and then your product is like your engine. But in order to get off the ground, companies are basically building both at once, right?

Sandy Liu2026-04-01

That's a good point — that shouldn't be changing like the mission statement, Brayden.

Sandy Liu2026-05-06

I think just if I could just maybe we could check in where we are with our agenda… we're past the halfway mark.

Greg Shortreed2026-04-01 · meeting-saving time-check

It's kind of ironic that we're talking about rocks yet the most important thing, the biggest thing is the last thing we talked about.

Greg Shortreed2026-04-22 · the agenda-redesign moment

You want to move fast, do it yourself; you want to do a good job and travel far, do it together.

Greg Shortreed2026-05-06

How do we meet clients where they are in terms of their readiness for AI despite us knowing what is possible?

Greg Shortreed2026-05-06

Who is Kasian Architecture's left tackle in terms of going forward into this Canadian infrastructure build? Maybe it's not an individual — maybe it's a role or a collection of tasks.

Greg Shortreed2026-05-13

Basically the framework of the meeting, we didn't really follow that at all.

Greg Shortreed2026-05-13 · 6.5 score, "catch-all"

There is just going to be so much more misinformation and disinformation out there. And that's why trusted sources are going to be so valuable.

Greg Shortreed2026-04-22

It figures.

Greg Shortreed2026-04-29 · re: Brayden eating Greg's rock

We should just really expect that it's going to happen at some point.

Greg Shortreed2026-04-15 · re: SOC2 audit posture

I pad my stats. That's fine.

Greg Shortreed2026-04-08 · dry humor on a rock

It feels like Maslow's hierarchy of needs… you can't build level two and three on a foundation of nothing.

Cameron Barnes2026-05-06 · the unlock

I never thought I'd work for you, but I honestly don't care. Like to me it's just a matter of uplifting us all… that's part of that old paradigm. It no longer serves.

Cameron Barnes2026-05-13

It was like 12:30 and I was still troubleshooting and then I was like — okay, I'm just going to figure out how to run it while I'm sleeping instead.

Jeremy Ranger2026-04-08 · Easter Claude+Gemini binge

A lot of existing CRM platforms, they're not just tracking leads. It's the whole sales pipeline.

Jeremy Ranger2026-04-22 · the framing that won the CRM debate

If we are doing a live demo… it looks like we're just demoing Claude, so they might say why can't I just download Claude.

Jeremy Ranger2026-05-13

I feel like of the group, I'm a little — I'm like the furthest behind in the use of AI and computers and that kind of stuff.

Victoria Schneider2026-04-08

I am struggling with anti-gravity. I think I'm just like not using it properly.

Victoria Schneider2026-04-15

Traditional level 10 meeting abolished today.

Victoria Schneider2026-04-29 · chat-only one-word close

Just liking the attraction, I guess. Yeah, it's gangster.

Victoria Schneider2026-05-13

I think we're just running long now. So I don't want to…
