What if everything you thought you knew about diversification was wrong? Join us for a compelling conversation with Michael Gayed, Publisher of The Lead-Lag Report, and Jeff Sarti from Morton Wealth as we challenge the status quo on what it means to truly diversify an investment portfolio. In a world of unpredictable markets, we discuss the vital importance of holding assets that may not always be in vogue but can safeguard against economic downturns. From the shifting reliability of bonds to the necessity of strategic asset weighting, this episode offers a fresh perspective on achieving consistent performance and managing risk in today's financial landscape.But that's not all. We also shed light on the often-overlooked private credit market, where Jeff shares insights on navigating its complexities and potential pitfalls. With concerns about liquidity and weakened underwriting standards in the spotlight, discover how exploring less crowded markets might just be the key to mitigating risks. Drawing on the work of behavioral finance experts like Daniel Kahneman, we tackle the familiarity bias that can cloud investment judgment, using Apple as a prime example of how brand recognition can lead to overconfidence. It's a reminder to always seek genuine understanding over mere comfort when making investment decisions.Rounding out our conversation, we scrutinize the speculative excesses and valuation concerns permeating the current market scenario. With an eye toward long-term investment strategies, we emphasize the need for a value-oriented approach amidst macroeconomic challenges. While navigating the pressures and perplexities of fiscal policies, excessive liquidity, and changing trading mentalities, we stress the importance of staying grounded in fundamentals. Don't miss this episode's engaging discourse on behavioral finance and the wisdom of adopting a cautious yet strategic approach to investing.The content in this program is for informational purposes only.

Nākamās četras nedēļas ik piektdienu pieskarsimies ukraiņu mūzikai — 19. novembrī apritēs 1000 dienas kopš Krievijas iebrukuma Ukrainā. Šoreiz jautāšu — vai zini, ka tas, ko mums skolā mācīja kā krievu kora koncerta žanru, īstenībā dzimis Ukrainā?* 17. gadsimtā dzīvoja tāds Nikolajs Dileckis — nozīmīgs komponists un mūzikas teorētiķis, kurš uzrakstījis, iespējams, pirmo mūzikas teorijas traktātu Austrumeiropā. Ar Dilecka vārdu saista daudzbalsības veidu, ko varētu latviskot kā partiju dziedājumu (партесний спiв). Tas ieviesās pareizticīgo baznīcā kā jaunas labskanības simbols, vieni to pieņēma ar labpatiku, turpretim tradīciju cienītājiem tā likās bezmaz zaimošana. Šā vai tā Dileckis palicis mūzikas vēsturē kā ukrainis, taču viņa aprakstītais partiju dziedājuma stils pamazām pārtapa par kora koncertu un līdz ar Ukrainas koristiem pārcēlās uz Maskavu un Sanktpēterburgu, un žanra izcelsme, liekas, ne vienmēr tika uzsvērta, taču mums gan jāatceras, ka tas ir tieši Kijivas daudzbalsības paraugs, kas guļ pamatā kora koncertam no Bortņanska un Vedeļa līdz Rahmaņinovam un Šnitkem. Rakstnieks Ivans Franko teicis, ka jau 17. gadsimtā maskavieši sākuši uzsūkt labākos ukraiņu spēkus, lai ar to palīdzību no novecojušas pusaziātiskas valsts pārtaptu par militāru birokrātiju ar eiropeiskām formām. Citstarp tas sakāms arī par Pēterburgas Galma dziedāšanas kapelu, uz kuru Bortņanskis saaicinājis virkni tautiešu no Hluhivas kora skolas. Te esam nonākuši līdz 18. gadsimtam, kad Kijivas muzikālā ietekme mazinās, Krievija pamazām absorbē ukraiņu skolas vērtības un Ukrainā nāk pasaulē Dmitro Bortņanskis, Artemijs Vedelis un Maksims Berezovskis. Divi pēdējie mazāk zināmi, taču ne mazāk talantīgi par labāk pazīstamo Bortņanski. Dmitro Bortņanska (1751–1825) tēvs no Ukrainas rietumiem pārcēlās uz dzīvi Ukrainas ziemeļu pilsētā Hluhivā (savulaik teicām — Gluhova), kas 18. gadsimtā bija nozīmīgs hetmaņu centrs un kur 1738. gadā tika atvērta kora skola. Mazais Dmitro mācījās šajā skolā, bet jau diezgan agros gados viņu uzņēma Pēterburgas Galma dziedāšanas kapelā. Dziedāja baznīcā kopā ar visiem, dziedāja solo itāļu ermitāžās jeb koncertizrādēs. Viņa talants tikai novērtēts ar stipendiju mācībām Itālijā, Bortņanskis izvēlējās Venēciju, kur mita viņa kādreizējais Pēterburgas skolotājs Baldasāre Galupi, Boloņā satikās ar padri Martīni, pēc tam atgriezās Pēterburgā, kur strādāja Galma kapelā un līdz ar augstas kvalitātes kora izveidošanu nostiprināja Krievijā ukraiņu baznīcas dziedāšanas tradīciju. Hluhivas kora skolā mācījās arī Bortņanska laikabiedrs Maksims Berezovskis (1745–1777), kura nāves vai pašnāvības apstākļi palikuši nenoskaidroti, un arī Berezovskis tika uz Itāliju, mācījās pie padres Martīni un nolika eksāmenu, pēc kura tika uzņemts par Boloņas akadēmijas ārvalstu biedru. Vienā dienā ar viņu tika eksaminēts Jozefs Mislivečeks un gadu pirms tam Volfgangs Amadejs Mocarts. Berezovski nosauca par krievu Mocartu, viņš laimīgi nodzīvoja Itālijā četrus gadus, tāpat kā Bortņanskis uzrakstīja pa operai un arī citādu mūziku, pēc tam atgriezās Pēterburgā, kur dabūja darbu galma kapelā. Trešais vīrs ir Kijivā dzimušais Džuzepes Sarti audzēknis Artemijs Vedelis (1767–1808). Viņa dzīve saistīta ar Kijivu, Harkivu un Maskavu. Pamatnodarbošanās — ierēdņa darbs militārajā jomā. Kā komponistu Vedeli augstu vērtēja Harkivā un atskaņoja arī Kijivā, bet pats viņš nelikās īsti apmierināts ar dzīvi, jo, liekas, jutās sadalījies un neīstenojies ne vienā, ne citā jomā. Galu galā Vedelis kļuva par Kijivas Pečeru klostera brāli, un likās, ka dzīve nupat sakārtojusies, bet 1799. gadā Vedeli apcietināja, jo viņš bija nez kā pamanījies pareģot cara Pāvela I noslepkavošanu (kas patiešām notika 1801. gadā). Vedeli atzina par plānprātīgu, nosūtīja atpakaļ uz Kijivu un lika turēt trakonamā. Tur viņš pavadīja deviņus gadus un tēva mājā atgriezās neilgi pirms nāves. Visu šo triju vīru mūzika ir visaugstākās kvalitātes devums, ko var klausīties ar aizrautību. Bortņanskis elegantākais no trim, Vedelis — ekspresīvākais, Berezovskis — liriskākais. Uz šī ukraiņu triumvirāta balstās krievu kora koncerta tradīcija. * Portālā 24tv.ua 2022. gada gada rudenī tika publicēti vairāki raksti par ukraiņu vērtībām, ko piesavinājusies Krievija — no boršča un trim spēkavīriem līdz slavenajai dziesmai “Svētais karš”. Visam pa vidu šajā rakstu sērijā parādījās arī Maričkas Križaņivskas teksts par komponistiem, un šī raksta motīvi izmantoti "Vai zini?" epizodē. ***

On this week's episode of THE FINANCIAL COMMUTE, host Chris Galeski welcomes CEO Jeff Sarti to review our 2024 Investor Symposium, and the topics discussed at the event.Here are some key takeaways from their discussion:- Grant Williams, our keynote speaker and author of Things That Make You Go Hmmm…, highlighted his thoughts on the election, the polarization in the U.S., concerns over rising debt levels globally, interest rate policies, and gold as a source of value against currency debasement. - Jeff and Chris also touch on Sasan Faiz's panel with Gus Araya from Cordillera, “New Trends in Investing.” They talked about niche investments like agricultural lending, whiskey aging, and boat marine investments, outside of traditional stocks and bonds.- Another session led by Mikey Taylor, Brian Farwell and Chris, explored California's housing shortage. The state only builds around 100,000 to 150,000 new housing units a year, far below what is needed to meet the demand. - One of the most popular sessions was “Estate and Tax Law Changes Coming Down the Pipeline” led by Brian Standing, Scott Gilmore and Stacey McKinnon. They discussed how the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is set to expire in 2025, reducing the estate tax exemption limit. The speakers highlighted the importance of considering tax-efficient strategies and staying aware of estate taxes as laws begin to sunset and inflation grows. Thank you to everyone who attended our symposium! We hope you were able to leave the event with more knowledge and confidence in your financial future. We plan to release recordings of the sessions on our YouTube channel in the coming months. Please keep an eye out for these videos if you were not able to attend or would like to rewatch the conversations.

Jeff Sarti of Morton Wealth in Calabasas, CA joins me for a discussion around the ever-evolving dynamic between investor and manager the difficulties inherent in navigating changing economic circumstances through a more unconventional, more resilient approach to investing. Jeff explains how he and his colleagues try to think differently about investment strategies and portfolio diversification, particularly in the current economic environment. Jeff's focus on building resilient portfolios that can withstand market volatility, rather than just chasing returns can be a difficult proposition in a world where quarterly returns against a benchmark have become many investors' most important yardstick. We discuss the the importance of educating investors on long-term thinking and owning their portfolios, not just renting them and follow the breadcrumbs to how the impact of central bank policies and the growing debt burdens facing many countries, influence investment strategies focused on hard assets and hedges against inflation.

Carla Sarti, a seasoned executive, shares her insights that any team can use for leading successful IT projects. From understanding business processes to the importance of transparency, teamwork, and supplier relations, Carla reveals the key ingredients for project success. [00:00:30] Welcome to Tech-Driven Business Carla. How are you? [00:00:33] Carla Sarti: I'm great. Thanks for having me. Great to see you. [00:00:38] Mustansir Saifuddin: It's great to have you on our show. And I'm glad that , you took the time out to share some of your thoughts and leadership with us today, [00:00:46] Carla Sarti: Absolutely. [00:00:48] Mustansir Saifuddin: so our topic is going to be Secrets to successful IT projects. How does it sound to you? [00:00:55] Carla Sarti: Amazing. It's 1 of my passions. [00:00:58] Mustansir Saifuddin: I know, I know. And I think that's going to be something that it will be very helpful to our listeners, especially in this day and age where technology is changing so fast. There are so many different options available. And I. T. Is in the middle of all of this. Let me start with this. You know, I want to set the stage. [00:01:15] So let's begin with this. Can you share some background on how you How did you find yourself leading I. T. Projects you started your career in a totally different arena? [00:01:29] Carla Sarti: Absolutely. So, yes, I have a business degree of my MBA. I started in audit and very specific businesses, purchasing finance, et cetera. But technology was always something that I was very curious and passionate about. When I was a co op at TRW, the vice president of finance came to me one day and I'm going to date myself a little bit here, but we were on Lotus 1, 2, 3, and he had a disc in his hand and he said, Carla or little kid or whatever he called me. [00:02:00] Here's a disk of Excel. I would like all of our reports moved from Lotus 1, 2, 3, put on Excel and let's review them next week. And I said, okay, let's go. And so I taught myself Excel and I really started to understand the power of technology. And that's just such a basic example. Right. So while I was still a co op, I got involved in an SAP implementation and That really opened my eyes to what technology can bring, and I've been into it ever since. [00:02:32] So different functional groups I've been in, I've always brought best in class processes along with the technology side, because I think it is, it goes hand in hand, but I've done everything from SAP, Coupa, SharePoint, RPA, and now dabbling in AI. [00:02:50] Mustansir Saifuddin: Absolutely. You know, it doesn't matter matter where you start? You know, even having a business degree, like you mentioned technology is always with you and it's around you. So you got to either embrace it and you got to go with the flow or you're going to fight it, right? So I, I like the approach that you mentioned that, you know, your first inital foray into this whole technology area was just, you know, just of the iceberg, right? [00:03:14] You got into this thing and now Years later, you are much ingrained in this whole technology stack. So, let's talk about your experience. You have decades of experience. What do you see as some key factors that contribute to the success of IT projects, which is so important? [00:03:33] Carla Sarti: So I'm going to start with the assumption that before you implement any sort of technology, You've really understood your business, right? And where are your business processes? What needs to be cleaned up? You're not just bringing in technology to bring in technology because I don't think that's ever usually successful, but so you've done that and then you've really understood again, the current processes. [00:04:01] The gaps that you have and what is your success criteria? I think a lot of people, a lot of companies don't look at what success looks like at the very beginning. And they say, Oh, okay. Yeah. We're just going to implement this. We heard it's the best solution and they don't think through, what are we trying to achieve? [00:04:19] That, that really starts dictating what a successful project looks like. Then you through the whole. Project. You obviously have to have the right team members on the project, having an executive sponsor that can break down roadblocks. I've seen projects that the best ones typically have a business person leading them. [00:04:44] Because they understand what's trying to be accomplished. Not that IT can't lead projects and they are definitely very integral to the process. But typically, when a business person runs them, they're implemented quicker. The understanding is there. The right process mapping has been done, et cetera. So you've got the right people. [00:05:07] Probably have suppliers in the mix, because what company has all that skill set on hand? So you have to have the right suppliers. And then through the course of it, you have to have the right governance. So the communication process, the transparency of where the project truly is, because as you know, IT projects are not a hundred percent foolproof, right? [00:05:33] Something always happens in any kind of project, whether you're building a house, you're, you're baking a cake or whatever it is, something goes wrong and you've got to have the right transparency and communication. To understand what to do next, then obviously you could have the best tool in the world. [00:05:51] The best project. It's going great. You have to have change management methodology and processes embedded in the project because if people aren't going to use it. What does it matter? Right? And I mentioned Excel when I was a co op, a lot of people still use Excel and you could put in the best shiny new toy technology. [00:06:13] People are comfortable with Excel. So you've got to explain to people how their jobs going to change and give them the appropriate training to make it a true success. In the end. [00:06:25] Mustansir Saifuddin: For sure. And I think you touched upon a lot of it. Some very key points. You know, starting with a champion, you know, has to be a business. How do they currently do the job? How can they do it better? You know, governance, such a key piece. You need to have that in place, change management, you know, I've been in technology field for so many years. [00:06:44] That's one thing that we know. If there is no good change management in place, It doesn't matter what technology, what kind of resources or what kind of supplier you're using, it doesn't go well. The end user needs to be on board. They need to really be part of the whole implementation process in order for them to adapt and then be the voice of the new tool because they are the ones who will be actually living with it, doing it on a daily basis. [00:07:15] So great point. [00:07:15] Carla Sarti: And people get scared. I mean, they get really nervous when a new project's coming, right? And especially in the age of AI, people think they're going to lose their jobs and companies need to do a really good job explaining. No, no, no. So you do this today, but tomorrow we need you to do that. And actually you'll probably be more fulfilled doing. [00:07:36] The new, but it's just that, that way of explaining and coaching them through it and not just dumping something on their lap. [00:07:45] Mustansir Saifuddin: Absolutely. And that's the key, right? How is it helping the real users of the system that this implementation or this piece of software doesn't matter? You're doing an E. R. P. implementation. You do some kind of data analytics project or any other systems that you're putting in place. It is there to help the business move to the next level. [00:08:08] How can we be more profitable? How can we make it easier for our customers to deal with us? different scenarios, right? And this and all of these are bundled together to give you the next level of the best, right? How can you do your job a better way than what you're currently doing? So totally agree with you. Now you touched upon one key fact, right? The idea of finding the right supplier. So how do you find the right supplier to support your initiatives? Can you share examples of successful IT projects? Where your supplier collaboration was very effective. [00:08:44] Carla Sarti: Finding the right supplier is key to the equation. I've always looked for a valued, trusted business partner. And. You know, there's, there's a lot of ways to get there. And I think a lot of it is being up front in the initial RFP process. [00:09:03] And you've got to have as much information for the supplier as possible to bid on because what you don't want is. Death by change order later because they didn't understand the project. You didn't understand the project as the business. That breaks down a relationship really, really fast. So again, more of that transparency, the collaboration. Some of the best projects I've had and I can't go into a lot of detail on them, but we implemented a tool in 18 months at one of my companies and really the success of the project was a lot. [00:09:39] on the supplier side. We brought somebody in with a great skill set in the tool that we were building. They had a road map. They had this amazing design methodology and the right questions were asked. The right people were brought by us as the company and, you know, we got off to a great start when things did go wrong. [00:10:02] They were very, very transparent. They said, okay, we need to get together. Let's pull everyone together. Let's get these questions answered. And they didn't hide things. We didn't hide things. It was probably the best project I've ever implemented. And that's what it takes. Again, that collaboration, transparency, and that win win from both sides. [00:10:25] Mustansir Saifuddin: Absolutely. I think you touched upon all the things that a successful project should look like, especially from a practices point of view, the strategy point of view and the relationships standpoint. Right? All of these work together and. You know, I, I just use the example of many different projects that I've done. [00:10:44] And, you know, especially when you're working with clients, transparency up front really helps. It sets the stage and make sure that both the client and the supplier are on the same page. And when you start off with that approach, things, like I said, things can go wrong, but you have a plan in place how to mitigate those issues, how do we get on the same page and make sure that whatever things that are an obstacle to the project are taken care of working collaboratively versus, you know, us versus them. [00:11:18] Carla Sarti: Right. Exactly. That's the last thing you want to get into in a project. It's already complex enough, [00:11:24] Mustansir Saifuddin: Yeah. And, like you mentioned earlier, right, that always something that comes up. You, you have the best of the intentions, but it can be a business challenge. There can be a technology challenge. There can be integration challenges. All different factors play a role into things can go in a different direction very quickly. [00:11:46] Carla Sarti: right? Oh, we didn't know this site had this approval process in here. And oh, this one has a different one. You find things as you get the project going and you have to be agile. You have to be flexible. You can't have. You know, the last thing you want is a supplier that's like, Oh no, you know, this, this is what we were brought in for. [00:12:06] I mean, we can talk about commercials, but you know, let's just all collaborate and get it done. That's where you need that trusted relationship because you don't want the supplier thinking, Oh, okay. They're going to ask me to do this for free. And you don't want the customer to be like, okay, they're not going to be able to do it. [00:12:23] So you've got to have that open dialogue going. [00:12:26] Mustansir Saifuddin: For sure. So, on a personal note, how do you stay on top of this fast changing pace of technology? What's, what's your secret sauce? [00:12:36] Carla Sarti: I've always been a constant learner always right? I mean, and I think being a co op at 18 years old, really drove that in me. It was the time, I kind of want to date myself it was the time when computers were kind of just starting to be used and I saw people just fumbling with the mouse. I mean, think of that in today's day and age, right? [00:13:01] I mean, back then people were fumbling with mice. I was like, oh my goodness, I never want to be in a position where, I'm not kind of at the forefront of technology. And I'm just a learner anyway. So, you know, whether it be books podcasts really from a technology standpoint, I think is what keeps me up to date. [00:13:21] I love the podcast. It's called All in One it's for billionaires that. Actually have very different views on things, whether it be politics or technology or science, and they talk about everything under the sun. Nvidia actually has an AI podcast. It's called the AI podcast, and then there's AI today. [00:13:44] And then being in GBS and shared services, a lot of my career, I stay on top of those things with SSO next. And they talk about technology, tons of technology within that realm as well. I read tons of articles on LinkedIn, the Wall Street Journal, and then definitely leadership books. I know that's not necessarily technology, but. [00:14:05] When you're talking about leading people again through change, and, you know, the best way to be collaborative, I find that to be extremely helpful. Patrick Lencioni is one of my favorite authors The 5 Dysfunctions of Team, one of my favorite authors. Favorite books. And he writes very much like fiction. [00:14:23] So it's really easy to get through. I don't know if you've ever listened to or read Jocko Wilnick's books, but he has extreme ownership and a couple others, phenomenal books, right? I mean, just kind of look at yourself in the mirror and it, it goes to project management, so extreme ownership. Am I doing everything I possibly can to be successful? [00:14:44] Have my team be successful. So really good one for project management. Mustansir. [00:14:50] Mustansir Saifuddin: Nice, I think you've got a whole slew of resources available at your fingertips that's good. I think like one thing that I really liked about your approach, I mean, you've seen it all, you've played different roles, It's refreshing to see someone like you in your space that you still find yourself as a student, you know, still keep on learning and be able to keep yourself ahead of the curve. [00:15:12] And I think that's the key, right? The different roles we play depending on what you're doing your daily job, but at the same time, looking around and seeing what else is going around you. We live in the space of, and the times of Gen AI. AI being disruptive and how it will change our lives. It's already is changing, you know how do you stay ahead or at least keep up with the technology? [00:15:39] I think is the key to your success. So that's what it seems like you you've been very much in tune with it. [00:15:46] Carla Sarti: Absolutely. One of the coolest things I ever did was reverse mentoring. So I had someone younger in the organization mentoring me, right? And then it helps you get into their shoes and understand what drives the next generation. What tools and technology are they using? It's really fascinating. And of course I, I use my kids too. [00:16:08] You know, I have a 19 year old and a 17 year old and just understanding: How they think, what they're looking at, what they're using, chat, what's GPT 4 all about. You know, you got to stay on top of things. [00:16:21] Mustansir Saifuddin: Yeah, they are the best teachers. I mean you think about technology I mean this younger generation is amazing and how they are adapting and all that. Let's get into the conversation about you know, we talked about successful supplier collaborations very key, right, important but what are some of the common challenges companies face? [00:16:41] With IT suppliers during a project. Can you share some ideas on thoughts on that? [00:16:49] Carla Sarti: I think one of the ones I've seen is where someone's oversold their capabilities, right? You've got a supplier, maybe they did a really good job on one project and they're asked to bid on another. And as a company, and again, trying to find that trusted supplier, it's very easy to fall into, well, let's just use these guys that were successful before. [00:17:13] You've really got to evaluate, are they going to be successful for this project? And of course they want business. Everyone wants business, but you've really got to look and say, okay, can I deliver on this project? Because if I can't. I'm actually going to ruin my reputation within the company. So just being honest and making sure again, from the company's standpoint, you're choosing the right supplier and that the suppliers. [00:17:42] Again, understanding the project that you're trying to implement and maybe they don't understand at first and they think they can deliver on the project. So, as a supplier, I would say, make sure you ask the questions. Be curious. Why are you doing this project? What exactly are you looking for? Oh, okay. [00:18:02] It's in this space. Okay. We don't have people in that space. Well, I can maybe bring people in to do that. You know, really understanding, that side to me, can really change the dynamic there. And then again, I'm not gonna, I'm going to keep talking about the transparency. If the supplier cannot be transparent when there is an issue, it's not going to be good.. I've always told people whether they work for me or a supplier, Bad news doesn't get better with time. You've got to bring these things forward. We've got to come up with solutions together. I don't care whose fault it is. [00:18:38] Mustansir Saifuddin: Yeah, [00:18:39] Carla Sarti: Like, ultimately, I want this project to be successful. So let's work together to get that done. [00:18:45] Mustansir Saifuddin: absolutely Absolutely. I think and and that's where I my question to you is how do you mitigate those issues? Everybody wants a smooth and successful implementation. It's just Everybody thinks that's how it should go, but we all know there are challenges. [00:18:59] Carla Sarti: Mm hmm. [00:19:00] Mustansir Saifuddin: you maybe share some ideas, thoughts on how do you mitigate those issues or something that you may have seen in the past? [00:19:08] Carla Sarti: So we, a lot of times, use just basic project management. Fundamentals, right? You've got your project plan. Are you on plan or not? Then you look at what can go wrong. Okay, you list out all the things that you think could go wrong and you start putting mitigating plans together on that, right? And having meetings around those things. [00:19:31] Okay, guys, how are we doing? Are we getting the data? That's going to be a big thing here. Did we get it? Did we not? What do we need to do? And again, having the right people on the project. So do you have somebody who can go in, break down those roadblocks if things aren't getting done, building the right relationships, again, you got to have the right people who can build relationships. [00:19:53] Project management, as you know, It's almost more about being a psychologist than anything else. I mean, you've got to bring people together that maybe don't normally work together. They have very different personalities. You've got people on the IT side that have different personalities than the project side. [00:20:11] So you've got to make sure that you understand those factors and use project management methodology. It's there for a reason. I mean, I've seen people, they're like, Oh, we don't need a project plan. Yeah. Like what? What are you talking? How do you do a successful project without a project plan? You don't even know what's coming next. [00:20:31] You don't even know where you are in the cycle. Are you on track? Are you not? So I think those things, honestly, like don't overlook the fundamentals. [00:20:41] Mustansir Saifuddin: No, I think that's a great advice. I one thing I, I, I like about your approach or your thinking is a project manager being a psychologist. You know, how many times you go through these, these iterations of projects after projects, you know, being a.supplier ourselves. I mean, I, I really appreciate your thought process on that because there's so many different stakeholders in any given time and project where you may have one stakeholder on board, but you may have someone else either business, I. [00:21:11] T. Whatever else you're working with. They may be either lost. They don't agree with your approach or there's something else that in this space. And you needs someone who can actually mitigate all those different pieces of the, [00:21:25] Carla Sarti: Mm [00:21:26] Mustansir Saifuddin: puzzle and bring it all, all of them together in a way they see the value. [00:21:30] It's all about value proposition and making sure that the end product is what the customer is asking for. Can we deliver? If we can deliver, what is the game plan? How do we go about making sure that we are all on the same page? Because at the end of the day, Once it is delivered correctly, It's a win win, you know. so [00:21:48] Carla Sarti: Hmm. [00:21:49] Mustansir Saifuddin: Do appreciate that insight into it and I know we talked about a lot of different things. I like to ask this one parting question. [00:21:58] What is that one key takeaway? You want to leave with our listeners today. [00:22:05] Carla Sarti: IT projects are very complex. So again, I would say the fundamentals are key. Understand what you're trying to accomplish. That is number one, understand the processes, get the right team involved, the right supplier, and set yourself up for success. So fundamentals. Use project management. Methodology for sure. [00:22:33] I mean, it's there for a reason and have the right, the right people on the project is key. I know I'm doing like five different key takeaways here in Mustansir, but really again, it's just so complex and the fundamentals, the right people and, and the right methodology, key, [00:22:51] Mustansir Saifuddin: No, thank you. Great advice and great takeaways. And I think once we have all these different pieces of the puzzle together, it's a recipe for success. So with that I'd like to conclude our session and I'd like to thank you for coming on on our show It was a pleasure having you. [00:23:08] Carla Sarti: likewise. Thank you for having me.

Uma só América unida pelas similaridades e diferenças. O diretor José Eduardo Belmonte expandiu as fronteiras do Brasil em um projeto que combina estratégias de parcerias e ambições artísticas para falar de temas comuns entre cidadãos de qualquer parte do nosso enorme e tão misto continente. Em breve, deve chegar às telas "Quase Deserto", filme dirigido por ele, rodado em um modelo transnacional com equipe e elenco que falam português, espanhol e inglês.  Cleide Klock, correspondente da RFI em Los AngelesDurante dois meses o grupo esteve em Detroit, nos Estados Unidos, para rodar essa história que fala sobre imigração e ser estrangeiro. São latinos unidos no sonho norte-americano, no cotidiano e nos conflitos, vendo seus países e compartilhando suas culturas de longe."Eu achei um local que tinha uma metáfora muito grande sobre as crises que a gente está vivendo, sobre recomeço também, com uma cidade de muitos recomeços. Ser imigrante de alguma forma é recomeçar. O filme começa com um dilema ético, são dois imigrantes em situações diferentes, um realmente em uma situação muito crítica e outro não. Depois de um jogo de Brasil e Argentina, que é uma coisa muito comum entre latinos que vão ver os jogos das eliminatórias juntos, eles saem e tem uma dessas blitz que às vezes tem na saída dos bares. Na fuga, acabam ficando de frente para um assassinato e ficam nesse dilema ético, porque viram um crime mas não podem ir para a polícia, mas também não podem ficar omissos. Para mim era muito importante que fosse um projeto transnacional", conta o cineasta.O filme traz um elenco com protagonistas e coadjuvantes de diversos países como a armênio-americana Angela Sarafyan ('Westworld'), o uruguaio radicado na Argentina Daniel Hendler ('Abrazo Partido') e os brasileiros Vinicius de Oliveira, Thaís Gulin, Virginia Lombardo e Alessandra Negrini.O diretor acredita que o Brasil esteve sempre muito de costas para a América Latina com, ainda hoje, pouquíssimas coproduções com os vizinhos em filmes que falam sobre a relação dos brasileiros com seus hermanos."A gente resolveu partir um pouco disso, dos pontos que a gente tem em comum no território estrangeiro. A ideia era falar da América Latina e a relação com a América. Acho que a gente parou de falar sobre o Brasil nos filmes, a gente fala muito sobre os indivíduos e sobre a sociedade. Quando você é estrangeiro inevitavelmente sempre pensa mais no seu país do que quando você estava nele. Comecei a pensar em filmes nesse sentido, colocando o Brasil fora do Brasil para falar sobre ele e para poder falar dele nas relações com o mundo", diz José Eduardo Belmonte.Modelo de negócio transnacionalApesar de ter sido rodado nos EUA, o projeto tem propriedade intelectual brasileira com uma trama que coloca o Brasil no protagonismo, se relacionando com temas de interesse comum a estrangeiros. Para o produtor Rodrigo Sarti Werthein esse fator está à frente deste modelo transnacional defendido por eles. A intenção, além de expandir as fronteiras e dialogar com os vizinhos artisticamente, traz estratégias de negócios sustentáveis."Esse modelo transnacional da gente ir para lá (EUA) tem muito a ver com essa escolha da própria equipe também, do elenco e essa coisa plural. Está no DNA do projeto, do roteiro, na ideia do desenho de produção que a gente fez junto, da lógica de orçamento, de montar a equipe, de levar para lá essa equipe reduzida e montar. Mesmo estando lá, não é uma equipe 100% americana de Detroit. A gente está contando essa história, vendo o Brasil de Detroit através desses vários olhos. Isso foi muito interessante", explica Rodrigo Sarti Werthein.Belmonte e Sarti estão desenvolvendo outros dois filmes neste mesmo modelo de internacionalização, um de terror nos Estados Unidos e outro, no México, sobre a travessia da fronteira, com enredos que sempre justificam essa composição de equipe plural. As produções visam o mercado latino nos Estados Unidos, grande consumidor de audiovisual, mas ainda pouco representado.De acordo com o diretor, esse tipo de filme "é rico em vários sentidos, humanamente, profissionalmente e também como negócio. Você expande, você trabalha com talentos de vários países e com temas que são comuns. Parece ambicioso, mas é muito prático pois são processos que a gente vai conseguindo compor com muitas pessoas"."A questão da parceria internacional é que todo valor agregado que você tem, as experiências de produtor, de como fazer, quais são os contatos, se multiplica exponencialmente", comenta."Primeiro porque você traz seus coprodutores e depois você traz outros idiomas, isso amplifica muitíssimo o mercado e as capacidades de produção inclusive. Porque você consegue diferenciar a necessidade de investimento em diferentes territórios, ou seja, um investimento americano vai ser feito nos Estados Unidos para certas coisas, investimento brasileiro vai ser feito no Brasil para outras. Você começa a parar de enviar dinheiro para um lugar e para o outro, que é algo complicadíssimo no mundo de hoje", conclui o produtor.
