Summary of Today’s Show in 75 Words or Less, by ChatGPT 📜:
Still no email on DRP approval, but I found real-time data in Power BI showing only 14 exemptions out of nearly 4000 in AFMC, and 16 people in my job series applied. That gives me major hope I’m in. Others in my command already got approvals today, so it’s moving. I texted Brian this morning but no reply. I’ve been overwhelmed with chores, behind on everything, prepping anniversary and Mother’s Day stuff, and reflecting on owning too much clutter.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by ChatGPT
Every day that passes that I don’t get it is just simply one day closer to an answer.
The more things that I own, the less shit I actually feel like I need.
I just disagree with how they're handling all of this.
I could learn a lot in five months.
Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by ChatGPT
Still have my Christmas tree up on a little table.
I've had that in there since 1985.
I got a timer, got my water, got my speaker, a piece of paper, got some paper towels, I got chapstick. What the fuck’s all this, dude?
All I want is to be paid to not work. (for my JOB lol)
 
My Thoughts / Feelings For Today 💭: 
It’s exhausting waiting around for this shit. Still chugging. Learning more code.

Woke at 4:30, sleep at 9, learned more coding, worked 10 hours, rest day, napped.

Summary of Today’s Show in 75 Words or Less, by ChatGPT 📜:
I spent the day coding with Mimo, waiting for the DRP 2.0 email, and feeling torn between my current job and the possibility of becoming a full stack developer to escape it. If I get approved, it shifts everything. If not, I’ll go all in on learning to code, maybe landing a $100K job in six months. Meanwhile, I launched my first live spreadsheet for Brian’s mastermind group, but it doesn’t feel like mine, which frustrates me.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by ChatGPT
"I think the reason why I'm even thinking about that is just because this whole resignation is really mentally put me through a loop."
"I just want a fucking email, dude."
"It would be cool to afford my entire family the opportunity to not have to work as long as they're living with me."
"The shit that I want to do the most is stuff that I cannot do because I don't know how to do it."
Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by ChatGPT
"Dude, you could have been using this since day one."
"I parked like a jackass, dude, all good."
"Yeah, I said gay. So they've had a short functional sheet for weeks now."
"To me, it’s just a car. Just a car."
 
My Thoughts / Feelings For Today 💭: 
Mixed one today! Got frustrated and shit with Brians timelines, but also good feeling to have that be done. Feeling more clarity with where I’m going too.
 
What I Did Today 🔨: 
Woke 4, sleep 10ish, 10 hours job, 1 hour gym, learning code, slight work for brian.

Summary of Today’s Show in 75 Words or Less, by ChatGPT 📜:
I was procrastinating the podcast while grinding code on Mimo, chasing leaderboard glory in the Stone League. Brian officially gave me the green light to turn our spreadsheet into a full-blown software app, which is huge. I’ve got a lot of overlapping projects, limited hours, and am still waiting on payment. The resignation email finally came with timeline updates, but no decision yet. If I get the green light tomorrow, I’m out. My whole schedule, future, and income structure hinges on that email.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by ChatGPT
"You just gotta do what the fuck works for you and not care like how it appears or looks."
"Anybody can take this resignation and then just sit on their ass and not do anything."
"I just want to be able to sit on someone's podcast, tell my success story and then have it not be like, 'Oh, well, his dad gave him $5 billion.'"
"As soon as I got the email, I didn't even read the full thing before I said yes, I agree. I'm in. Resign."
Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by ChatGPT
"Fuck that guy, huh? I want to be number one."
"If I got an email at 9:05 PM, I'm going in my car at 9:06."
"Poor me, boo hoo."
"I get so fucking sidetracked when I'm talking. It's unbelievable. It's actually impressive."
My Thoughts / Feelings For Today 💭: 
Nice to finally get an email huh? But still waiting for the final call. Everything else is easy going.

Summary of Today’s Show in 75 Words or Less, by ChatGPT 📜:
I showed Brian a workaround for the Google Sheet verification issues and he loved it, but now I’m under pressure to present in front of millionaires Tuesday, while still working my day job. I started building a full website with Firebase instead—login, data tracking, custom dashboard—and it’s already miles ahead of the Sheet. I’m learning fast, pushing through bugs, but I’m scared I’ll drop the ball. I just want to prove I can deliver something truly valuable.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by ChatGPT
“I’m going to be presenting something I created in front of a hundred people who make almost a million dollars a year.”
“I just want to know how to do this myself so I don’t have to rely on AI.”
“I’m looking at things and I actually think I know what the fuck is going on.”
“It feels good to know I spent one straight fucking hour learning today.”
Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by ChatGPT
“That made me shit my pants.”
“It's raining and lightning and thundering lightning, ninging, and thundering.”
“Poor me, because I have to work at my job.”
“I literally wrote 2015 for 2024 today. What a goon.”
 
My Thoughts / Feelings For Today 💭: 
Productive and made a lot of progress. Feels good. Did not take care of my physical self though. No good.
 
What I Did Today 🔨: 
Woke at 7:30. Sleep at 9pm. Work arounds for brian. Software design for this website. 1 hour mimo code learning.

Summary of Today’s Show in 75 Words or Less, by ChatGPT 📜:
I’m over the endless Google App Script verification process and decided to scrap the modal project entirely, especially since I didn’t even make the spreadsheet it’s built on. After pitching a workaround to Brian, he agreed, but wants a custom solution in 30 days—which I’m excited to build as a full website. I ranted about the broken system, shared thoughts from family convos on career and retirement, and laid out my plan to focus on hourly effort over arbitrary goals.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by ChatGPT
"If I don't want the typical life, and in order to get the typical life you follow the typical playbook, then I'm going to have to follow a completely different playbook."
"You don't achieve happiness, you just... you can be happy."
"I know me, I know I'm not going to quit."
"I think that I have a fair amount of self-awareness, which is going to be very important for me."
Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by ChatGPT
"Why would they sell me that I'm next up if I have to wait? Sick."
"Erection, return state, I don't know, some bullshit with retirement."
"You want me to go into debt so I can be forced to mow my own grass?"
"I'm not gathering any data, I guess I use a username and password, but as long as I encrypt that..."
 
My Thoughts / Feelings For Today 💭: 
So nice to spend time with family all in one place for the first time in years. Good celebration of marriage, love, and more. Ready to get back to work though.
 
What I Did Today 🔨: 
Woke at 7am, sleeping at 1am lol. Got a haircut, got some work done for brian. Did family photos. Ate family dinner. Spent more time with entire family at other members home.

Summary of Today’s Show in 75 Words or Less, by ChatGPT 📜:
I walked the complex in the morning, drank a Gorilla Mind, skipped work using PTO, and spent 5.3 hours working on Brian's spreadsheet project. I’m optimistic about my resignation going through next week and feel confident after combing through Reddit and seeing nothing that would suggest I’m exempt. Had a Zoom call with Mina about a 12-hour-a-week ops role. Still struggling with Google App Script verifications. Wrapped the day coding on Mimo, topped my league, and ranted about inefficiencies and leadership at work.

“I get so much time to work on my own shit.”
“If you don't like doing that type of work, then don't do that. Period.”

Summary of Today’s Show in 75 Words or Less, by ChatGPT 📜:
I’m still waiting on my resignation approval and while online rumors say May 5, I think it'll be later next week. If I get denied, it’ll suck but I just want a clear yes or no. I’ve been insanely exhausted despite good sleep and a nap, possibly due to poor nutrition and hydration. I even slept at work using a fake “note-taking” setup. I feel like shit for wasting the day but I’m just wiped.

"At this point, just give me an answer, yes or no."
"I don't have to let this take control of me."
"I'm so hard on myself as it is, so when I waste a day like this and I don't do anything, I feel horrible."
"If I’m asleep I can’t hear anything."
Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by ChatGPT
"Maybe it's just because of malnourished and not eating as much as I should be."
"I was falling asleep. It was ridiculous."
"So it looked like I was about ready to take notes."

Summary of Today’s Show in 75 Words or Less, by ChatGPT 📜:
I reflected on my shift away from fitness coaching, talked through my idea to automate podcast summaries with AI, and updated my coding goals and progress on JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. I archived old posts and decided to reset my Instagram, possibly delete social media, and fully pivot to coding and working for Brian.

Summary of Today’s Show in 75 Words or Less, by ChatGPT 📜:
I had a Zoom call lined up with Jasmine that got pushed due to a time zone mix-up, so I recorded a full podcast instead. I vented about being completely drained from work and not sleeping well, but still managed to knock out more Mimo lessons on loops and arrays. I realized the full stack path covers front and back end so I’ll just do that. Zoom call clarified I’ll need to take initiative with projects, and I pitched a 40–60 hour data tracking software idea using Instagram and YouTube APIs.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by ChatGPT
“I might take a stall with money and progress and this podcast might be less exciting for another two years, but dude, fuck it.”
“I just quit too early the first try and then I just believed if I would have just not quit, I would have tried harder.”
“The more you bring to the table, the more like, they're going to want to keep you.”
“I'm trying to learn how to code right now. It's actually going pretty well.”
Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by ChatGPT
“Snack is so weird dude. What's going on with all this shit?”
“It’s like a boat with a rocket on top of it with a big tunami.”
“Did I get access to data Box? Yeah. Was someone supposed to send me links to, yes. Okay, No.”
“I got really nosy, so I was looking around in the Slack, and there's me from five years ago in here.”
My Thoughts / Feelings For Today 💭: 
Tired as PHUGGGG dude. Unreal. Napped so hard my contact lenses were doing kickflips under my eye lids. Stoked for what’s to come. I like having a lot on my plate when I KNOW what needs to be done. Almost there!
 
What I Did Today 🔨: 
Woke 4, sleep 9, worked 10 hours, zoom call with jasmine, 2 sections of code/mimo, i think that’s all.

Summary of Today’s Show in 75 Words or Less, by ChatGPT 📜:
I was exhausted and did not want to record but pushed through, reflecting on 556 straight days of podcasting and hoping AI can eventually pull deep insights from all my recordings. I checked the DAF resignation mega thread but found no new approvals. Financially, I will be fine either way, with three income sources totaling $6250 a month. I plan to buy a domain to build a personal portfolio website and am committing hard to coding through Mimo, setting aggressive learning goals to finish JavaScript, HTML, CSS, SQL, and React by August 1st.

"I would like to learn all this as soon as possible and add it to my accolades."
"In the end, it’ll be really fun to look back on these episodes and see what I thought was good goal setting."

"This is a beefer, dude, this is a beefer right here."
 
My Thoughts / Feelings For Today 💭:
