P3.instances[0].transcript.parse_transcript_data({"transcript":"Working with creative people. I'm in the gaming- we're in the, how do you say, entertainment business. What our company does is we are an audio branding company. Custom music, sound design, voice-overs, localization, implementation. So all these people at this conference are creative people. They're real people. I love real people. So I love enjoy working with creative people, because they're so talented. They're not of this world definitely, but it's very interesting. I'm just enjoying it. Seriously, the products that they made, the production, everything, it's amazing. What's most challenging? Hmm-- interesting. You know, when you put your mind to it, nothing is challenging. Nothing is challenging but what I said before is working in a chaotic atmosphere. This is the most challenge I've ever had. And it's been, what? Two something years since I became a financial officer. I'm still learning. It's not easy. But then again, who said it was going to be easy, right? If it's easy, everybody's doing it. I had to make several decisions in my life because first, I change my country. I had to rethink my priorities in life. Right? So once I set them straight, I figured out my strong points, and my strong points were numbers. Compliance, numbers, everything. I understand it. And that made me go to accounting and finance school. But after I had graduated, I went to get some experience and worked in the field about three to four years. Then through some friends, I was introduced to the CEO of my current company. We had several meetings. We discussed his vision. I love the captain of the ship. I mean I love his vision. I'm with him. I think we're going to go through with whatever difficulties we have and we're going to be very successful. You'll see. You know what? There are so many startup companies. Every startup company needs a financial officer. So it's not that hard. However retaining a job is not going to be because of the competition. Of course, it's not as fierce as, let's say, in the video game development world, because not that many people want to do it actually. Right? The work and life balance. This is an interesting question. I guess it depends on the time of the year. Sometimes I work 24 hours a day. And it's OK. It is what it is. Right? Because it's interesting. Sometimes we actually get up at 7:00 and would come to work at 7:00 a.m. Basically, 30 minutes later, it's already 4:00 p.m. So you lose track of time, you know. Because you enjoy your work so much. So, yeah, we do work a lot. And I mean if you don't work a lot, you will not be able to succeed, to succeed in life. You will not be able to achieve what you set for yourself in life. So working hard, but playing hard as well. ","file":{"id":380309,"video_id":"3395828585001","name":"2411-Yuri-ChiefFinancialOfficer2 In-depth","duration":191426,"thumbnail_url":null}});
