645. Wedding, Networking, Payday

Recorded on: Saturday, July 25, 2025, 11:08 PM
Episode Summary by AI
I spent the day at Brendan’s wedding, which was beautiful and meaningful. While there, I met a guy named Eai and we instantly connected over business talk, Alex Hormozi, and our shared entrepreneurial mindset. It made me realize how much I crave more like-minded people to talk shop with. I also got paid by Trey today. No work progress otherwise, but the conversation reminded me that building my network through real-life experiences is vital.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI
"I just need more people in my life who are, you know, like-minded and I can talk shop with."
"I think I'm just in a transitionary period where I just, maybe those types of people are just not anywhere to be found for me right now."
"In order to do that, I'm going to have to just finish building everything that I'm building, start selling it, use that money and fund this lifestyle."
Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by AI
"If I ever fail the show, it's going to be because I'm laying in Lexi's bed in her mom's house."
"We’re best friends. His name is Eai. So he... So funny, huh?"
"Can't check because I scrolled down too far. Stupid."
My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI
I felt genuinely grateful today. The wedding was touching, but that spontaneous conversation with Eai made me realize how much I’m missing deep, business-oriented relationships in my life. I know I need more of that. I’m in this weird space between building and belonging. The need for connection with people who just get it is real. I'm optimistic though — I know I’ll find my tribe, but I’ve got to finish what I started first.
What I Did Today - Summarized by AI
Attended Brendan’s wedding, connected with Eai over business and Alex Hormozi, talked with Lexi about like-minded friends, got paid by Trey, reflected on my need for a strong entrepreneurial network.

644. Mile High Club (for Podcasts LOL)

Recorded on: Thursday, July 24, 2025, 10:14 PM
Episode Summary by AI
Recorded mid-flight and later after landing in Long Beach, I reflect on what might be Utah’s first podcast from the sky. After a chaotic but funny arrival, I share stress about implementing Notion systems across multiple workspaces for Britti, Mina, Dawson, and Trey. I break down the challenge of re-linking relations and rollups, and my dread of rebuilding systems repeatedly. Amid wedding travel, timelines feel tight, but I’m making slow progress and doing my best to communicate that.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI
“I don’t know where to start, because certain things have to be made before others.”
“Once I do it for now, then I’m sure it’ll be much easier to do it again for Donson, and once I do it for Dawson, it’ll be much easier to do it for Trey.”
“You got front row access to the one and only podcast that’s going to have 7,000 un five episodes.”
Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by AI
“Disney. The business. Mickey and Minn Disneyland.”
“The Long Beach Airport. It’s about the size of one fourth of the A hallway in the Salt Lake Terminal, if you know you know.”
“This guy’s in the trunk… Oh, it’s like a reunion, that’s cool.”
My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI
I’m in California, juggling travel and work pressure, trying to stay on top of it all. Being on a plane and landing at a hilariously small airport set the tone for a weird, scattered day. I’m feeling overwhelmed by the technical nightmare of relinking Notion systems, but I’m trying to just chip away at it and not let it get to me. I know it’ll get easier each time I do it, but damn, it’s a grind.
What I Did Today - Summarized by AI
Flew to California with Lexi, recorded a podcast mid-air, landed at Long Beach Airport, shared updates with Britti, reflected on workload for Mina, Dawson, and Trey, started chart work, prepped for Lexi’s brother’s wedding, signed off from California.

643. So Complex…

Recorded on: Wednesday, July 23, 2025, 11:13 PM
Episode Summary by AI
I'm deep in building an ultra-complex Notion system to track every possible metric for fitness coaches, including 132 auto-calculating formulas across multiple databases. I’m obsessively verifying accuracy, filtering for current vs all-time data, and facing the challenge of chart compatibility with rollups. It's grown into a massive structure with over 160 columns. With clients like Trey, Dawson, and Mina waiting, the pressure’s on, but I remind myself that just ONE $5K sale per month is enough to survive.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI
"If there's one inaccuracy, if one thing is wrong, especially if it's obviously wrong... I just question the integrity of the entire system."
"To think that in order for me to survive and provide for myself... I only have to make one sale a month... that is just really reassuring."
"It's kind of like I'm getting one sale a month based on how much I'm getting paid... and to think about it that way... I can't complain, dude. This is very cool."
Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by AI
"I almost said fess coaching. Nice. For their fness coing business."
"I’m going to have to just be a giant. Huge pain in my asshole."
"My hell. I feel like I sound so congested lately."
My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI
I feel overwhelmed but proud. This system has spiraled into something way more intense than I ever expected, and while it's frustrating to deal with so many details, I know the end result is going to be game-changing. I'm a bit stressed by client pressure and the complexity of making everything perfect, but I also feel secure knowing that financially I just need to land one sale a month. I’m in deep, but I’m all in.
What I Did Today - Summarized by AI
Built and audited over 132 formulas, organized columns across multiple databases, realized errors in monthly vs lifetime calculations, prepped to relink for each client, talked with Mina about rollout, committed to five days of deep work, reviewed financials, and reflected on my progress and future goals.

642. My Advantage

Recorded on: Tuesday, July 22, 2025, 10:32 PM
Episode Summary by AI
I reflect on wanting summer all year yet doing little with it when it arrives. I unpack the trade-off of sacrificing my 20s to build long-term freedom, especially for my future kids. I talk about my lack of interest in material things or vacations, finding fulfillment in building systems, solving problems, and achieving milestones. I also explore my obsessive love for tracking data, and how this passion is driving the growth and future of my business vision.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI
"If you build a life that you enjoy every day, then you don't need a vacation, which means you ultimately have won."
"I want to be able to provide that more than I want it for myself."
"The accomplishments and the milestones matter more than the dollar amount or anything else."
Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by AI
"How many times did I blink at a red light while holding an energy drink in my left hand?"
"Zero, but I’m sure there's somebody that’s done that. Who did it the most? What the fuck’s his name?"
"I want to create the ultimate stat sheet of life — including how many times someone podcasted while shitting their pants."
My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI
I’m deeply aware of what I value and what I don’t. I don’t care about surface-level things like vacations, flashy purchases, or even nature’s beauty the way most people do. What moves me is building something real and lasting, especially for my future family. I feel more grounded than ever, even as I obsessively build systems. I feel like I’m winning by not needing much to be fulfilled, and that’s giving me a quiet kind of confidence.
What I Did Today - Summarized by AI
Worked silently and uninterrupted for four hours, avoided distractions until noon, scrolled social media briefly and regretted it, drank an energy drink while working, built new Notion side projects including Macros Hub and task logging system, reflected on Alex Hormozi’s view on vacations, documented my mindset, and ended the night around 10:30 p.m.

641. Golden Advice - Just Not For Me, Zoom Calls

Recorded on: Monday, July 21, 2025, 10:05 PM
Episode Summary by AI
I reflect on golden advice from Dawson about burnout and balancing work with personal time, but decide it doesn’t apply to me. I love what I do, working 74 hours a week building Notion systems and chasing my goals. Despite pressure to adopt a morning routine or scale back, I find deep fulfillment in the grind. I deleted my chess account to remove distractions, and I'm doubling down on what excites me. I feel aligned, focused, and unapologetically committed.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI
"Why would I want to delay that and have more time for me? But the time that I have for me, what the fuck am I going to do, dude? I want to do this."
"You need to have a shit ton of awareness when you receive advice to know if it applies to you or not."
"The sooner that I can start work, kind of the more time I have for the rest of my day."
Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by AI
“I will literally send in the chat, hey, sorry about that bad move, dude. My son accidentally bumped my finger and I misplaced my queen.”
“You can't pause the world, can you?”
“I just jammed my knee on my desk. I love that. Yeah, but it drew broke skin, drawing blood sweet.”
My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI
Today I really sat with some big advice and decided it just doesn’t fit me right now. I felt a little dumpy for a minute like I wasn’t doing life “right,” but when I looked at what I'm building and how much I love it, I realized I’m exactly where I need to be. I’m grateful, dialed in, and clear. I don't need to fix what isn’t broken, just keep going. I’m good. I’m focused. I’m locked in.
What I Did Today - Summarized by AI
Worked on Notion systems, had Zoom calls with Trey and Dawson, reflected on Dawson’s advice, visited family, worked out, ate Chipotle, planned workouts with Mason, deleted my chess account, jammed my knee, and recorded this podcast episode.

640. Tesla Show, Clean Car, Workin

Recorded on: Sunday, July 20, 2025, 10:56 PM
Episode Summary by AI
First-ever podcast recorded from the Tesla with Lexi next to me in her car. Started with chaos, screaming, and almost editing it out, but kept going. I had a momentary panic thinking I missed a show yesterday, felt the failure, then realized I didn’t. Worked on the Notion expense tracker for Mina, Dawson, and PTDOM, though it's hard to copy over due to complex links. Spent five hours applying a ceramic car coating and scratched the car by mistake but learned from it.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI
"If I failed or whatever and the streak was lost, I wouldn't just stop. That's stupid."
"Live and learn. So the next time I do this, I can guarantee you it's not going to happen again."
"What am I going to do? Get pissed about it and cry? Like, I don’t know, just move the fuck on."
Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by AI
"Podcast near-death experience, if you will."
"I crashed my car quite a bit, actually, and that’s because I just didn’t know what I was doing."
"Don’t listen to this episode. Listen to an ad and then hop out. I’m just kidding."
My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI
Today felt scattered but productive. I was kind of all over the place emotionally—from minor panic to car detailing pride to being annoyed about system rebuilding. I’m excited about the PTDOM project but feel guilty for not prioritizing it. The car scratches sucked, but I honestly handled it well. It was a nice mix of reflection, learning, and a reminder that progress sometimes comes from making dumb mistakes and laughing through them.
What I Did Today - Summarized by AI
Recorded first show in the Tesla, panicked thinking I missed a podcast, worked on Mina and Dawson’s Notion systems, updated PTDOM project for an hour, detailed my car with ceramic coating, scratched it by accident, drove to Lexi’s, ended the day with her.

639. Total Business Revenue, Tedious Work

Recorded on: Saturday, July 19, 2025, 09:30 PM
Episode Summary by AI
I vented while working late, reflecting on how hard it is to finalize my systems while people are already using them. I'm trying to perfect the payroll and revenue tracking tools, but rebuilding them mid-use feels like a nightmare. I talked through how to track metrics like churn, how complicated all the “if this then that” logic is, and why I won’t settle for a cut-corner version. So far I’ve made $14,342 and projected $15,402 this month.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI
"There's just too many possibilities and too many ideas and not enough time to do it all."
"Maybe it's good I have this pressure, you know?"
"I know I could absolutely just get away with doing some bare minimum shit and just say, yeah, just do this, this works. But then I'll know that I can make it ten times better."
Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by AI
"Just a whole bunch of if this then that, but if this, then that, but if this, then that, but if this and that, but if this doesn't, then that."
"Lambbo by 26. Just kidding. I don't know."
"Get this over with it makes me sound so ungrateful."
My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI
I’m overwhelmed but focused. I feel stuck between doing what’s good enough and what’s great, knowing I’ll hate myself later if I settle. I’m proud of the money coming in, but frustrated that improving systems means going backward just to go forward. I think I overestimate others’ expectations, and that puts pressure on me, but part of me thrives on it. I’m just trying to make something solid that actually lasts and scales.
What I Did Today - Summarized by AI
Worked late from Lexi’s bed, built a PT Dom dashboard, Photoshopped their logo into notion, brainstormed solutions for payroll and revenue systems, wrote down theoretical formulas, recalculated total income since December, tracked monthly revenue growth, got paid by Mina, and recorded this episode despite background noise.

638. Big Vision, Hard to START Work, Easy to NOT Stop

Recorded on: Friday, July 18, 2025, 04:11 PM
Episode Summary by AI
I reflect on how starting work is my biggest hurdle, especially when resuming complex projects like the mega bizlog, PT Dom systems, and custom trackers for coaches. I explain my backup process, earnings, long-term software vision, and struggles with procrastination. I outline seven phases of product development toward selling software and share the desire to shift from building to selling. Despite the challenges, once I get going, it's hard to stop. I made $10.95 from podcast ads this year.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI
“I'm just trying to make it so jam-packed with value that anybody would feel stupid saying no, as Hermozi would say.”
“It's intimidating if you don't know what you're looking at, but I want to make sure that somebody can just look at this and like, oh yeah, that makes sense to me.”
“Once the train starts rolling, it's like, oh, here we go.”
Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by AI
“You know what? There's a box somewhere in my house, probably needs to go in the recycle bin. I'm going to go find it.”
“We're ballers now, big ballers. So it might make three cents a day.”
“I need to go clean the bottom of my garbage can. It's getting pretty dirty.”
My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI
I’m overwhelmed by how much I’ve built and how much more there is to do. I feel stuck in the middle between the joy of building and the urgency to start selling. Starting is hard, restarting is harder, but once I’m in, I’m all in. There’s definitely a little worry about whether I’ll be needed long-term by the people I’m building for, but I’m also really proud of how far this has come.
What I Did Today - Summarized by AI
Struggled to start working, reflected on my mega bizlog restructure, backed up and restored old databases, built and organized PT Dom trackers, calculated earnings from recent hours, drafted a seven-phase plan to turn my system into software, brainstormed macro calculator value add, analyzed procrastination tendencies, planned for a softball game with Lexi, and joked about podcast ad revenue.

637. Paid Off $4k Debt, Big Vision, Praise, Lost In The Numbers, Zoom Calls

Recorded on: Thursday, July 17, 2025, 10:24 PM
Episode Summary by AI
Had a Zoom call with Dawson who called me his least stressful and most helpful employee, which hit deep and reassured me I’m on the right path. I also reflected on overthinking and shared my big vision of turning my data-heavy Notion systems into full-blown software. Nerded out on tracking metrics, built charts for PTDOM, paid off $3,841 in debt, and hit 87 mph in the Tesla. Capped it off with lunch and golf with my little brother.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI

“I think I’m just a nerd when it comes to numbers. I play crypto in my head all goddamn day.”
Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by AI
“February 30th. October 32nd, we'll meet up. All right?”
“Golf sucks ass. I don’t have the patience for it right now.”
“Two tickets in two weeks. Insurance 500 a month. Dude, goddamn.”
My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI
I feel validated as hell right now. Dawson’s words meant more than I expected, and they hit at the right time because I’ve been spiraling in my head lately. I’m proud of my work and the direction I’m going, but I’m also feeling overwhelmed by how deep I get into these systems and numbers. There’s this mix of being impressed with myself and afraid I’ll overcomplicate everything. But I know I’m doing something special. I can feel it.
What I Did Today - Summarized by AI
Built charts and graphs for PTDOM, had a Zoom call with Dawson, reflected on vision for future software, posted Zoom recordings from Mina and Michelle/Marco, paid off $3,841 in credit card debt, organized finances, went to lunch and hit golf balls with my little brother, drove the Tesla and hit 87 mph on-ramp, avoided a speeding ticket, geeked out over crypto math games and Notion filters.

636. Going Pro, Hard Problems, Zoom Calls

Recorded on: Wednesday, July 16, 2025, 10:17 PM - Zooms will be uploaded on 637. Too tired for this shit lol
Episode Summary by AI:
I had two Zoom calls today but forgot because the day felt so long and mentally draining. I worked on Notion automations, struggled with a frustrating issue, and found an ugly but functional solution. I texted clients to delay delivery in favor of building something better with no extra work required on their end. I also reflected on distractions, Dan Martel’s “turn pro” mindset, and podcast ad stats, revealing I’ve earned four cents after 636 episodes.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI
“If I can spend, I guess, 15 hours trying to figure out how to make it so that it’s one click, I think that’s where the value is.”
“You need to turn pro. You need to go pro, meaning you need to... put more effort into whatever it is you’re trying to build and just go from there.”
“Time is so valuable, dude. That is the only thing in life that we will never, ever get more of, and we lose it every second.”
Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by AI
“It was like, just give us your baby. Something like that.”
“It took me 636 days straight recording a podcast every day to make four cents.”
“Now I got a road trip to Maine from Utah.”
My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI
I’m feeling mentally fried but accomplished. I didn’t get a rush of joy from solving my Notion issues, but I pushed through and made real progress. There’s this lingering guilt around delaying projects even though the upgrades will be way more valuable. I'm tired of distractions stealing my focus. Dan Martel’s message hit hard—I need to turn pro. I’m proud of what I’m building, but I know I can go harder, be sharper, and stay locked in.
What I Did Today - Summarized by AI
Forgot about two Zoom calls, had a frustrating Notion problem I eventually solved, reworked automations for clients, texted Trey and Dawson to delay projects for quality, activated podcast ads, earned $0.04 from 13 ad impressions, reviewed podcast analytics, rejected a baby vaccine ad, and reflected on distractions and productivity.
