Jake, I wonder if you could expand on it a little bit, the digital experience and engagement side of things in terms of the architecture stack.
4:03
Absolutely.
4:04
So as Emily says, it's fundamentally important that we are responsibly spending our money.
4:10
That's why we sort of have five key principles here when it comes to decision making and vendoring and making decisions around sort of integrations of platforms, etc.
4:20
And those sort of five key principles sort of underpin everything, every sort of decision that we make when it comes to vendoring new platforms, etc.
4:29
Firstly, we need to make sure that all of the platforms that we do vendor allow us to be user and service first.
4:36
It's so important that we put our users first, not only for the benefit of sort of animal welfare, but also it brings in other opportunities like fundraising.
7:03
I would be interested to know, Jake, because of course you're head of digital experience, what made you commit to this DX strategy at the RSPCA? What have you learned from that?
121:58
So, uh, are, are there still slots open for people interested that want to put together a team for this?
122:02
So I would advise everyone to follow us on, uh, Instagram, MLF Young Professionals.
122:08
Very simple, MLF Young Professionals.
122:10
We're gonna be posting throughout the next couple weeks and months about how to, uh, register for a team or register for a spectator, um, ticket, where you can come watch the games, hang in the coaches club.
122:20
We're gonna have a buffet, chicken fingers, fries, sliders, salads, cookies.
122:25
We have a cash bar for anyone who wants to come and, uh, responsibly, you know, have a couple drinks.
122:30
But, uh, no, working with the team at MetLife has been amazing, and the Jets.
122:51
... after the World Cup.
1:52
How about yourself?
1:54
Got into it, um, as a mechanic.
1:56
Loved working on things.
1:59
So had some buddies I went to high school with that were working for a quarry company.
2:04
They got me on, started that, and then transitioned over from that.
2:09
With a crane cert, started drilling, and then the biggest thing was just the unknown, drilling down, not being able to see what you could do or what was underneath you to know what was there and then just keep going.
2:20
I mean, to be able to complete something like that...
