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.

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.
