If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
Okay,
this
is
the
weekly
meeting
of
the
the
resource
development
team.
The
grant
writing
team.
This
is
jared
wilke,
I'm
aaron,
matric.
Okay,
you
want
to
do
a
check-in
where,
where
are
we
at
jared.
B
B
There
are
a
number
so
we're
still
working
on
the
three-page
letter
of
interest
for
the
usa,
develo
div
and
I'm
kind
of
stuck
on
the
first
and,
I
think,
kind
of
most
literary
section.
The
development
challenge.
B
B
A
B
Yeah
right
and
I've
only
I
haven't
been
able
to
find
it.
I've
only
been
able
you
see
this
big
chunk
here.
It's
just
data
about
the
us
and
I
don't
like
how
it's
kind
of
shifting
the
focus
of
this.
Like
your
statement
was
nice
and
broad.
B
It
talks
about
all
the
like
developed
nations
in
general,
but
I'm
kind
of
all
of
this
us
data
kind
of
makes
it
have
a
little
more
self-centered
feeling
to
it,
which
I
mean
usa,
is
like
assistance
for
international
development,
so
they're,
looking
they're
focusing
outward,
I'm
just
intuiting
that
focusing
on
our
own
stats
won't
be
too
strong.
A
B
A
All
right,
so,
if
we,
if
we
focus
on
comparing
you
know
the
cost
of
purchasing
purchasing
the
machine
on
the
market
and
how
much
we
can
save
on
people
who
normally
wouldn't
be
able
to
access
this
equipment
through
the
gvcs,
I
mean
that's,
that's
that's
the
heart
of
the
development,
the
development
issue
and
it
spans
globally.
So
if
we
look
at.
A
Basically,
in
order
in
order
to
address
issues
of
of
poverty
and
unemployment
in
any
kind
of
nation,
whether
it's
a
developing
world
or
the
developed
world,
people
need
to
be
able
to
access
tools
that
they
can
use
to
start
their
own
businesses
and
right
now,
not
only
are
the
costs
extremely
high
for
people,
so
the
barriers
are
high
for
entry,
but
then
you
have
ongoing
maintenance
costs
and
the
the
normally
the
equipment
is
not
designed
so
that
the
average
person
can
repair
it
themselves
and
then
there's
also
this
idea
of
built-in
obsolescence
or
planned
obsolescence
that
we
can
talk
about
where
machinery
is
designed
to
break
down
and
have
a
limited
life
span.
A
A
The
general
sentiment
would
be
that
the
barriers
of
entry
to
the
marketplace
for
developing
business
are
too
high
and
that
what
we
do
is
lower
those
barriers
by
creating
machinery
that
lasts
a
lifetime.
It's
on
average
69
percent,
more
affordable
than
commercial
alternatives,
and
people
can
service
it
themselves.
So
all
these
costs
are
lowered
for
entrepreneurs
and
what
what
this
will?
The
outcomes
that
this
will
have?
Are
that
will
lower
unemployment
rates
and
will
raise
living
standards?
A
So
these
are.
These
are
really
amenable
ways
to
talk
about
our
programming.
I
think
that
that
might
be
a
good
way
to
focus
on
it,
as
opposed
to
you
know
the
bigger
issue
and
the
bigger
issue
is
there
like?
There
are
structural
problems
within
the
economy,
but
it's
harder
to
pin
down
how
those
happen.
A
Unless
you
want
to
get
into
stuff,
that's
divisive,
even
though
it
seems
pretty
objective.
Like
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
corruption
in
wall
street.
The
banking
system
is
predatory,
I
mean
you
know,
I
mean
with
these
trade
deficits
going
on
it
just
gets.
It
gets
beyond
my
scope
of
expertise
to
really
explain
the
global
economy
to
anybody.
So
just
talking
about
lowering
barriers,
we
not
only
do
I
think,
that's
a
good
idea.
We've
had
some
help
on
our
messaging
from
outside
people.
Think
that's
a
good
thing
to
focus
on.
B
B
Like
well
another.
A
So
the
development
challenge
you
know
is
people
are
poor,
they
can't
they
don't
have
access
to
food,
they
have
to
work
horrible
jobs
for
inhumane
hours
in
toxic
environments
all
over
the
world.
That's
happening
for
billions
of
people
right.
So
if
we
just
provided
access
to
the
mechanical
basis
for
high
living
standards,
you
know
expand
the
access
and
lower
the
barriers,
and
then
people
all
over
the
world
can
start
to
use
these
tools
to
provide
food
and
housing
and
shelter
and
transportation
and
energy
to
themselves.
So
I
think
that's
that's
a
clear
way.
A
So,
just
getting
some
statistics
on
how
many
people
live
in
poverty,
you
know
maybe
how
many
people
in
rural
areas
live
in
poverty,
break
it
down,
break
it
up
like
that.
It
doesn't
we're
not
only
focused
on
the
rural
environments,
but
we
can
talk
about
how
we
can
bring
food
to
those
environments
or
people
can
bring
food
to
themselves.
That
way,
I
mean.
B
I
looked
through
all
the
brands
I
must
have.
I
just
don't
remember.
A
A
B
B
A
No,
it's
cool
and
you
can
take
a
look
at
that
in
your
when
we
get
off
the
meeting.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
you
had
access
to
that.
That's
a
good
document
to
look
at
for
a
broad
view.
Okay,
do
you
have
any
other
questions
on
the
usaid
letter
of
interest
or
letter
of
inquiry.
B
Yeah,
I
so.
A
A
You
mean
that's
what
the
usaid
office
wants
to
see
or
that's
what
we're
planning
to
do.
That's
that's
what
that's
what
it
looks
like
we're
focusing
on.
I
mean
we're
already
selling
machinery
in
africa.
We've
got
stuff
going
on
in
guatemala
and
the
philippines.
I
think
we
have
applicability
in
developing
and
developed
nations
alike.
So
we
don't
need
to
limit
our
scope.
I
mean
we're
just
testing
our
our
priority
is
to
to
work
in
the
developed
world
right
now
and
make
sure
that
our
programming
is
solid
before
we
expand,
but.
B
B
B
B
A
I
mean
shipping
costs
are
going
to
be
included.
That's
going
to
raise
the
price
on
both
sides.
Really,
I
think,
if
you're,
if
you're
looking
at
the
man
I
mean
actually
now
that's
I
don't
know
if
that's
a
strategic
thing
to
do
right
now
to
look
into
that
kind
of
research,
because
you
know
I
don't
think
our
numbers
are
solid
enough
to
the
point
where
that's
gonna,
that's
gonna,
actually
hold
up
over
time.
B
A
B
I
felt
like
I
think
I
was
waiting
on
a
number
of
different
sections.
Just
for
info
I
didn't
have.
Let
me
check,
let's
see
potential
to
scale,
were
you
looking
into
that
or
is
there
something
I
can
do?
I
was
stuck
on.
B
B
Depending
landscape
measuring
success,
project
team,
okay
and
do
we
have
have
we
I'm
looking
at
the
project
team,
we're
going
to
hold
off
until
the
7th?
Have
we
like
formed
a
new
team
as
our
link
back
and.
A
We're
still
hot
we're,
still
figuring
out
who
the
team
is
going
to
be.
We've
that's
been
like
one
of
the
main
priorities
since
we
last
talked
is
we
just
we've
interviewed
a
ton
of
people?
A
Okay,
so
we're
still
nailing
that
down
so
yeah,
let's
say.
B
Great
well,
I
will
take
another
crack
at.
It
looks
like
the
only
thing
I
can
for
me
to
do.
Right
now
is
just
take
another
crack
at
the
development
challenge.
Talking
more
just.
A
About
cost
savings,
okay,
yeah
and
then
the
longer
term
strategy
for
our
team
will
be.
I've
got
a
couple
projects
to
wrap
up,
I'm
going
to
try
and
do
that
as
soon
as
possible,
and
then
I
want
to
go
full
blast
on
the
grant.
Writing
again,
any
kind
of
grant
research
you
can
do
in
the
meantime
is
awesome.
A
All
right,
yeah,
I
think
that's
pretty
much
where
we're
at
you
know.
My
my
my
work
is
is
beyond
grant
writing
at
this
time.
So,
like
I
just
have
all
this
other
stuff.
I
got
to
wrap
up
if
I
can
but
yeah,
let's,
let's
try
and
set
a
day
that
we
want
to
send
this
this
letter
of
interest
out
or
letter
inquiry.
When
do
you,
when
do
you
think
we
should
send
it
out.
A
After
that
looks
like
they're
doing
it
about
monthly
or
something
all
right:
let's,
let's!
Let's
try
to
have
like
a
final
draft
due
on
the
14th
and
then
we'll
meet
on
next
monday
and
take
a
look
at
that
and
then
I'll
take
a
look
at
a
final
draft,
the
next
day
after
so
on
the
tuesday,
the
15th
I'll
take
another
look
at
it
with
a
fresh
head
after
any
kind
of
final
reviews
and
I'll
try
and
submit
that
on
tuesday,.
A
So
I'll
work
with
you
on
monday,
I
mean
I'll
work
with
you
up
to
monday
to
get
that
going.
Okay,
great
thanks!
Do
you
have
any
other
stuff
you
want
to
throw
out
there?
Are
we
looking
good
yeah
still
on
track?
Okay,
all
right
man!
Well,
thanks

your
time
involving
and
I'll
talk
to
you
soon,
