I was about to fall asleep and realized I forgot to record this show. So now I’m awake with a headache, Lexi thinks I’m being dramatic, and this won’t be uploaded on time but at least it’s recorded. Work was light, just two hours. Riley from Australia texted wanting to do something, I replied but he ghosted. Lexi’s birthday is in 14 minutes. She jumps on to outro the show, half asleep, and that’s it.

616. Worst First 13 Minutes, MORE Opportunities, Episode Number & Date Alignment LOL

Recorded on: Thursday, June 26, 2025, 10:18 PM
Episode Summary by AI
Secured a project-based position with PT Dom, pending final confirmation, meaning no $500 monthly fee and potential for paid project work inside Notion. Obsessed for 15 minutes figuring out when podcast episode numbers will match calendar dates, eventually realizing February 2027 offers a full month of alignment. Debated getting a Tesla Model S versus paying off debt, weighing lifestyle upgrades versus financial security. Acknowledged that upgrading life can fuel higher standards but recognized buying a car is unnecessary. Preparing for upcoming California trip and staying consistent with daily podcast streak.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI
"When you start upgrading your life, you feel that sense of urgency to perform to that new standard."

My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI
Today I’m excited but still overthinking everything. Locking in PT Dom feels solid, but I’m cautious about calling it official till I get that final text. My brain went off the rails for 15 minutes figuring out the dumbest calendar-episode math ever, but hey, I had to know. Car-wise, I’m all over the place. The Tesla tempts me, but debt freedom tempts me more. Honestly, I’m proud of the PT Dom move, but I know I didn’t “negotiate” that hard. I just showed up and talked real.

Episode Summary by AI
Today I wrapped up Dawson’s Notion system and now need to get his clients in. Mina’s system is next, but redoing her master log will be a pain since it connects everything like onboarding and check-ins.

I ranted about how easy it is to copy Notion systems and how hard it is to protect them, realizing there’s no real solution.

611. Almost Over The Hump

Recorded on: Saturday, June 21, 2025, 12:41 PM
Episode Summary by AI
I spent today transferring Trey's system into the new layout with full integration, aiming to eliminate future manual data moving. The biggest hurdle has been month-to-month clients missing end dates, which throws off all renewal alerts and LTV tracking. After proposing a workaround, I realized the deeper complexity of importing legacy data versus adding new clients. I reflected on building a software solution, identifying small coaches as my best market. Wrapping Trey's system is top priority before moving to Dawson and Mina.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI
"The truth is the best way to learn is for me to make something and then realize it could be better and then figure out how to undo it and then build it again."
"Ignorance is bliss, you know?"
"The more I work with these three clients of mine, the more I'll learn about the specific needs and the different variables and what to watch out for."
Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by AI

"Comment this and I’ll send you the free e-book. There’s over 300 comments. I was like, holy shit."
"Maybe she’s born on leap year. You got 365 more."
My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI
I’m worn out but also pretty close to a breakthrough. I want this transition work to be done so I can finally just build without redoing everything. It’s frustrating dealing with data structure issues, especially when it's not perfect, but I'm also realizing how much smarter I'm getting from doing it. I’m not mad at anyone. I just want to be efficient. I’m a little overwhelmed but staying the course. I know this will all pay off.
What I Did Today - Summarized by AI
Transferred Trey's client system into the new layout, troubleshot month-to-month end date issues, proposed default durations for automation, double-checked Dawson’s file status, brainstormed onboarding structure for Mina, reviewed filter dependencies, researched causes of voice cracking, cleaned up database logic, reflected on target market for future software, planned lead tracker for Trey's IG post, and committed to finishing today before cousin Mialee’s celebration.
