707. Silly Goose, Work And Game, Uploading Live

Recorded on: Thursday, September 25, 2025, 11:00 PM
Episode Summary by AI
I realized my Make automation idea still requires Notion relations to link client data across check-ins, finances, and renewals. I spent most of the day working at my desk, moving boxes and unpacking a new office desk for my move with Lexi. I balanced gaming RuneScape on mobile while working, which tied back to childhood memories. I coordinated with Karin on design improvements, checked in with Trey and Mina, handled moving logistics, applied for and received an $8,200 Costco credit card, and uploaded podcast episodes while reflecting on demonetization and stats.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI
"If there's no relation, then she's a stranger and we're not related at all."
"It's pretty damn cool to say that I did both because this game has a lot of ties to childhood for me."
"I feel like perhaps it's just like I'm spending so much time not working, like I'm doing all this moving and I'm trying to get things situated."

"This desk is about eight inches longer, so maybe that won't be a huge problem?"

"It seems like we have three minutes to do all the above, so that's great."
My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI
I felt a little off today even though I made good progress. I kept bouncing between moving tasks, work, gaming, and podcast uploads. I’m proud of the systems I’m building and the fresh input I’m getting from Karin, but I feel distracted and like I’m not fully locked into the path I need to be on. The move with Lexi excites me, but it’s also consuming energy that leaves me less focused on work.

706. Make Revelation, New Desk, Zoom Call

Recorded on: Thursday, September 24, 2025, 10:30 PM
Episode Summary by AI
I wrapped up Dawson’s tedious automation updates, realizing I can’t keep redoing master log relations and rollups at this scale. That sparked a breakthrough idea of shifting entirely to Make for automations, which could streamline updates, enforce subscriptions, and prevent piracy. I vented about clients calling things urgent but ignoring deliverables, felt relief about freeing time even if income drops, and shared updates on moving, selling my desk, disassembling my bed, and reflecting on why bedframes even matter.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI
“If I just put every automation into Make then I almost feel like it would be absolutely necessary that I charge you a monthly subscription.”
“Nothing would work. Nothing. No automations would work, nothing would run. Nothing nothing. At all.”
“Unpopular opinion, but why do people, why do I need a bed frame?”
Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by AI
“Either he fucking died or he is not prioritizing this whatsoever.”
“Holy shity shit.”
“The mattress is what you sleep on not the bed.”
My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI
Today I was drained but had a breakthrough that could reshape everything. Finishing Dawson’s work was exhausting and made me realize I can’t keep burning time fixing endless relations and rollups. The Make idea feels huge, though I’m still questioning its practicality. I’m frustrated with clients who cry urgency then ghost, but I also feel lighter knowing I’m gaining time back. I’m excited about moving, my new desk, and honestly amused at how little I care about a bed frame.
What I Did Today - Summarized by AI
Finished Dawson’s automations, realized Make-only approach potential, vented about client urgency, sent Dawson hours, thought about subscriptions, prepared for moving, got new desk delivered, disassembled bed frame, reflected on bedframes.

I had one of my most productive days in a while because I knew exactly what I needed to work on and got the renewal metric KPIs fully set up in the database with all automations in Make running smoothly.

Recorded on: Sunday, September 21, 2025, 09:14 PM
Episode Summary by AI
I came across news that Trump plans to impose a 25% fee on foreign hires, which could double my VA costs and eliminate write-offs. It’s good for America but difficult for me starting out. I broke down how one sale could cover my $3750 monthly expenses and buy time, so I need urgency in finishing my system and landing that first client. I considered partnerships, referral programs, branding vs functionality, and staying focused while also moving and preparing for date night.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI

I feel a mix of urgency and frustration. On one hand I support the bigger picture of keeping jobs in America, but on the other hand it directly hits me at a vulnerable stage in business.

I keep catching myself overthinking details that don’t matter, and I know I need to push hard, simplify, and stay urgent.
