How does Rudder stay so consistent with its high scores year after year? And what does it mean to you and your company to be recognized?

One, it's awesome.

I love working for a winner.

And I think, you know, yes, I'm in a position to say that.

But, you know, you can ask any team member that's in our stores, and they're also very happy and proud to work for a winner.

It's having that, again, going back to that culture, we always want to be the best.

And we broadcast that throughout our community.

Is there a favorite memory

So if we can handle the risk, if we looked at the risk and decided we're happy with what it's working on or we can check it afterwards, How can you use, what are some of the ways that maybe people don't realize they can use AI rather than just as an advanced Google? Where does it go into its own in many, many different ways for brainstorming, for task creation, for agent stuff, for organization, things like that.

Yeah, I think building very task-specific AI tools, and if it's very easy to do, I think it's very powerful.

If you're just going into ChatGPT and putting a general question, and you've really given it no real context, and you're expecting to get a brilliant response, it's probably highly unlikely.

And what you're going to get back is something fairly general.

It's going to be pulling on its own training data.

It's not looking at any information that you've given it.

And it's making a lot of assumptions and its own judgments, basically, which could be fine, but most likely won't be.

So where would you go? If you were trying to say, here's an article about quantum computing and here's some research about the airline industry, how does this article affect the airline industry going forwards? From scratch in AI, how would you build that project out? What kind of tools would you be using? What would you be putting into that?

And he was a super servant for you, won so many highlights over a wonderful career, but which one will you remember most?

difficult I mean probably the three great ones winning the Arco which was a great season for him you know he was brought down in his debut and then he won his next four or five and culminating with an Arco win was pretty exciting I thought the best performance he probably ever put up was in the Tingle Creek the following winter and that was a special day and obviously the most emotional was probably Sandown this April you know when he as a 12-year-old winning a grade one

And what did that really feel like for you yourself that day when you saw him cross the line in front?

I don't know.

I mean, it was very emotional.

And we thought he could run very well that day.

He'd gone to Plumpton and it really sharpened him up.

And I remember saying to Tom, if you're within a couple of lengths of them jumping the pond fence, we've got a hell of a chance, you know.

Yes.

Well, we're super excited about the lineup for sure.

Got our man DJ, the magnificent DJ Jazzy Jeff in the house.

A lot of folks don't know how he gets down on house music, but Jeff can go.

So that's going to be extra special.

You know, who else we got? Sluggo in the house.

um barbara tucker the queen of house will be in in the house with us uh christine wiltshire who a lot of folks don't know her name but no know her song she she was on all those patrick adams freak joints weekend uh i'm a big freak christine and uh she was also the lead singer of music so she'll be doing in the bush and jumping and, um, you know, serious disco classics.

yeah

Is that fair?

No, I think it's very fair.

Yeah.

you know, the reality is people, I have four daughters and every one of them, they had a certain place they wanted to be.

They migrate to a neighborhood.

They have friends, they've heard this is where You should be, if you're a college graduate or you're someone who wants to go to college, you want to live in these certain areas.

So they go to those areas, they find the two or three places they might be willing to live and they make a decision.

We have...

So if you could just give us a little bit of the, almost like the school teacher, what is AI, um, and then we will start diving into the good stuff about how businesses can start to think about using it and harnessing it for their businesses.

Fantastic.

And yeah, it's great to have a format where we can get into a bit more detail as well.

I, I, I would say that that presentation actually was a 20-minute presentation, so it was...

Yeah, uh, it was...

Things were definitely compressed.

Um, so it's nice to have the space.

Shall we, shall we-
