590. Aunts Retirement, Lexi is Back, Working

Recorded on: Saturday, May 31, 2025, 09:57 PM
Episode Summary by AI
I only worked for Mina today, about 4–5 hours, and didn’t touch Brian’s stuff aside from a 20-minute spreadsheet task. I spent most of the day figuring out how to make Notion automations unfuckwithable, especially with database links. I got a new display cable which made my monitor buttery smooth. Lexi came home, we had a funny moment on air, and I wrapped up after Aunt Amy’s retirement party. Also, got paid $480 from Mina for 16 hours.

My Thoughts & Feelings for Today – Summarized by AI
I felt torn today. On one hand, Lexi’s back and that makes everything better. On the other, I left money on the table by not working for Brian even though I had time. Not because I was lazy but because I’ve been obsessed with figuring out how to make the Notion systems bulletproof. I felt annoyed with lack of communication, especially from teammates. Still, I had fun, made some progress, and it’s nice to feel seen and paid even if I want more. (these summaries need to be reworked lmao.)
What I Did Today – Summarized by AI
Worked 4–5 hours for Mina, skipped work for Brian except 20 mins, tested new display cable, tried to automate Notion database linking, texted coaches for feedback, went to Aunt Amy’s retirement party, spent time with Lexi, and got paid $480 for 16 hours of work.

589. Fat Compensation Inbound? Opportunities On the Horizon, Zoom Call, More Work

Recorded on: Friday, May 30, 2025, 11:00 PM
Episode Summary by AI
I had a packed day full of wins and tech headaches. The Zoom call with Mina was short but powerful. He gave great feedback and said I’ll be compensated fairly, possibly with a bonus? We discussed showcasing my system to others and hinted it could turn into serious income. I listed out 13 major projects I'm tackling, including a mega client database. Tech-wise, new monitors caused issues. DMV trip turned out unnecessary—I already had a real ID. Wrapped with optimism and more work to do tomorrow.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI
"You’re not running their business. You’re helping them, which is really valuable, man."
"Be the guy that sells pickaxes, shovels, candles—you name it."

My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI
I’m proud of the momentum I’ve built. Mina’s recognition meant a lot, and even though I joked about the tech headaches and real ID confusion, I feel like I’m genuinely leveling up. The system I’m building is legit. I can feel how close I am to something big. At the same time, I’m a little annoyed I didn’t get more done for Brian today, but I’m still tracking, still building, still pushing forward.
What I Did Today - Summarized by AI
Zoom call with Mina, brainstormed more major internal projects, tested and troubleshooted new 4K monitors, skipped work for Brian, figured out I already had a real ID so skipped DMV, listed monitors and chair on Facebook Marketplace, checked financial goals, planned hours to hit $1K payout, followed up with team members, and made Costa Vida run.

588. Operation 27k, Working, New QoL Investments

Recorded on: Thursday, May 29, 2025, 10:32 PM
Episode Summary by AI
I worked on charts and filtered visualizations for Brian’s project, finishing despite earlier frustration. Felt victorious figuring it out solo. After a ghosted deadline, feedback came today, I implemented changes, and sent it back—awaiting reply again. Recalculated my financial goal to $27K to account for expenses and PTDOM deductions. Talked workspace upgrades, like 4K monitors and a new chair, and ranted about Real ID DMV hell. Also planned better sleep, gym consistency, and daily structure.

My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI
I felt a mix of frustration and pride today. The charts were a pain, but when I nailed it, I knew I nailed it. I’m annoyed at inconsistent communication from everyone but whatever, I’ll keep pushing. I’m focused on refining everything—workspace, finances, routines. I feel good about where it’s all headed, but I know I’m still behind. Not panicked, just aware. I need more structure, more control. But deep down, I know I’m built for this. Damn dude how corny are these summaries. Deep down... I know... that I'm... built... for this. *sigh*. Stfu.
What I Did Today - Summarized by AI
Worked 2 hours for Mina2, worked 3.5 hours for Brian, finalized and sent project updates, recalculated financial goal, updated tracking sheets, brainstormed monitor and chair upgrades, scheduled DMV appointment, skipped gym(LOL THANKS), tracked sleep patterns(no?), ranted about tutorials, discovered new music, had brief call with Mina.

587. Projects… Projects Everywhere, No Mans Land, Phone Call

Recorded on: Wednesday, May 28, 2025, 11:03 PM
Episode Summary by AI
I ranted about busting my ass to meet Brian’s deadline only to be ghosted after delivery. I talked about how GPT kept failing to generate a working Sheets formula, but Claude nailed it. I broke down my hours, earnings, and how I’m tracking progress toward a $23K goal by October. I also got real about the isolation I’ve felt lately. Then I detailed all 17+ custom Notion systems I’ve built for EmmyFit and laid out early ideas for my coding curriculum project.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI
“Maybe the things you want the most are the things that you need the most, but that doesn't mean that they're enjoyable.”

Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by AI
“Gabe be blowing ass sometimes, dude.”
“Set the alarm for when? I don’t want an alarm, dude.”
“I feel like I’m on an island by myself. Who’s trying to voyage?”
My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI
I’m proud of what I built, but I’m annoyed, tired, and a little emotionally burnt. I did great work today, and the EmmyFit Notion system is insane. But the lack of response from everyone frustrates me. Claude outperformed GPT which both pissed me off and got me excited. I feel super isolated lately, like I’m grinding alone in a dark room while everyone else is living. Still, I want this. This is what I want. Even when it kinda sucks.
What I Did Today - Summarized by AI
Finished Brian’s project, clocked nearly 5 hours for PTDOM, 2.25 for MEFit, battled GPT to generate a Sheets formula, switched to Claude, tracked my earnings toward the $23K goal, reflected on feeling isolated, and documented 17+ custom Notion systems built for EmmyFit.

Recorded On: Tuesday, May 27, 2025, 12:15 AM (technically wednesday)
 
Episode Summary by AI I hit a wall tonight trying to use my podcast Notion database because I maxed out the free blocks. I’ll probably upgrade tomorrow to keep things moving. I mapped out my exact financial goal of $23,000 by October 8 and created a full visual tracker breaking it down to $172/day. I worked 10 hours total today, mostly for Brian, and shared frustrations with inconsistent communication from Mina. Also traded in my MacBook, vented about Apple Store service, and ended with thoughts on buying a Tesla Model S.

My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI Today felt like a grind but a productive one. I’m locked in on hitting that $23K and this tracker I built helps me actually see the path. It’s frustrating that I have to front the cost for Notion and that Mina’s been MIA lately, but I’m not letting it slow me down. Honestly, I’m proud of how much I’ve gotten done. Still, I’m tired. I just want my systems working, my money flowing, and a clean Tesla in the driveway.
What I Did Today - Summarized by AI Worked 10 hours between Brian and Mina, finalized and used my Notion financial tracker, traded in my MacBook at the Apple Store, researched the Feynman Technique, vented about poor Apple Store service then praised great service(LOL), brainstormed daily income goals, and daydreamed about buying a Tesla Model S.

I worked 10 hours today building out an entire Notion system for Mina and the team, integrating onboarding, check-ins, Zoom links, and more into one centralized platform. I created solutions even AI couldn’t provide and loved every second of it. Took a rest day from training to stay pain-free. Feeling underpaid for how much value I’m giving, but this work is fulfilling. I also tracked Yu-Gi-Oh cards, dominated another Memo leaderboard, and chipped away at my coding courses.
