Okay, let's jump into the snippet. Ali. I'd like to hear a bit 10 00:00:44.900 --> 00:00:49.310 more about how the new AU format might actually reach, um, or diverse group of 11 00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:53.290 people than we've been able to engage with in the past. That's a such a great 12 00:00:53.290 --> 00:00:56.770 question, Eric, because, you know, as I said before, I had a very distinct 13 00:00:56.770 --> 00:01:00.630 honor of attending a U of number of times as a customer. Right when I was 14 00:01:00.630 --> 00:01:05.290 in the industry as well as now, having been a member of Autodesk and it's an 15 00:01:05.290 --> 00:01:09.910 investment, it's not, it's it's something that takes a lot of time. 16 00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:15.410 Resource is funding to make happen. And this year, for the first time, we since 17 00:01:15.410 --> 00:01:18.740 we're going digital, you know, the auditor organization made a decision to 18 00:01:18.740 --> 00:01:23.690 make it free so that we could go deeper and wider than we've ever been before. 19 00:01:23.700 --> 00:01:28.440 So basically, anyone and everyone can attend, and folks that may not have 20 00:01:28.450 --> 00:01:33.260 typically been given an opportunity to do so. So, you know, I think of folks 21 00:01:33.260 --> 00:01:36.680 like the preconstruction department, the safety department, those that are 22 00:01:36.690 --> 00:01:40.140 out on the field, those out on job sites. And it doesn't necessarily mean 23 00:01:40.140 --> 00:01:44.090 that you're going to spend eight hours a day locked into your computer 24 00:01:44.090 --> 00:01:49.660 watching a class. But you might find 2345 that you know what? You want a 25 00:01:49.660 --> 00:01:52.310 bookmark, and you want to go back and you wanna watch it. So that's one of 26 00:01:52.310 --> 00:01:55.360 the things I'm really excited about. Is that the general supers who are 27 00:01:55.360 --> 00:01:59.510 champions on our job sites that are really interested in what new 28 00:01:59.510 --> 00:02:03.030 technology is going to help make them better at their jobs and help others 29 00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:05.860 across the way across all of their stakeholders and their supply chain? 30 00:02:05.870 --> 00:02:09.530 We've got classes for you We've got classes for the estimating crowd. We've 31 00:02:09.530 --> 00:02:12.920 got classes for the bidders, for the procurement team, for the quality 32 00:02:12.920 --> 00:02:15.570 safety teams, for the business development and marketing teams. It's 33 00:02:15.570 --> 00:02:19.230 like it's a laundry list for the first time ever, and it's it's really, really 34 00:02:19.230 --> 00:02:25.020 exciting. It also opens up the door for one of the first times to really deepen 35 00:02:25.030 --> 00:02:29.500 the availability of content for students, professors and hobbyists. So 36 00:02:29.500 --> 00:02:34.230 if you are a student or you have any interest whatsoever in this industry, 37 00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:37.520 this is the first time you're going to see all the same content that will have 38 00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:41.460 been delivered live in person. So absolutely register absolutely signed 39 00:02:41.460 --> 00:02:46.550 up and that that just creates this groundswell of new people. I think that 40 00:02:46.550 --> 00:02:50.930 we have an opportunity to to reach than than ever before, and that's one of the 41 00:02:50.930 --> 00:02:53.400 things that Cliff and I have talked about in the past. It's like we can't 42 00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:57.560 just expect that the next generation of an architect, a next generation of a 43 00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:01.330 contractor or a construction technologist is going to come out of 44 00:03:01.330 --> 00:03:05.400 the typical way that we have encouraged, you know, people joining this industry 45 00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:09.450 in the past and I am really excited. Thio, really, you know, encourage a 46 00:03:09.450 --> 00:03:13.660 more diverse industry by giving more access to this kind of content and 47 00:03:13.660 --> 00:03:19.410 education. And this is this is 11 tiny little spark of how it starts. All 48 00:03:19.410 --> 00:03:23.640 right, we really hope you enjoyed that clip again. Just their digital builder 49 00:03:23.640 --> 00:03:27.610 and apple or wherever you do your listening, subscribe and tap the number 50 00:03:27.610 --> 00:03:31.310 of stars you think this podcast deserves. Thank you so much and have a 51 00:03:31.310 --> 00:03:32.350 fantastic day. 52 00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.850 For the longest time, I was asking people to leave a review of B two B 53 00:03:37.860 --> 00:03:41.850 growth in apple podcasts. But I realized that was kind of stupid 54 00:03:41.860 --> 00:03:47.290 because leaving a review is way harder than just leaving a simple rating. So 55 00:03:47.290 --> 00:03:51.090 I'm changing my tune a bit. Instead of asking you to leave a review, I'm just 56 00:03:51.090 --> 00:03:55.270 gonna ask you to go to BBB growth in apple podcasts. Scroll down until you 57 00:03:55.270 --> 00:03:59.230 see the ratings and review section and just tap the number of stars you wanna 58 00:03:59.230 --> 00:04:05.050 give us No review necessary Super easy. And I promise it will help us out a ton. 59 00:04:05.060 --> 00:04:09.080 If you want a copy of my book content based networking, just shoot me a text 60 00:04:09.090 --> 00:04:12.310 After you leave the rating on, I'll send one your way.
