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.

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.
