Summary of Today’s Show in 75 Words or Less, by ChatGPT 📜:
I walked through a Zoom call with the PT Dom team to review the client tracking spreadsheet I built. We aligned on tracking course logins and Facebook activity weekly, using checkboxes, automated percentages, and color-coded rows to flag client engagement. We discussed automations, a four-week summary view, optional monthly reports, and possible integration with ActiveCampaign. After the call, I realized the meeting was necessary. I also reflected on how much I now enjoy using Notion.

Summary of Today’s Show in 75 Words or Less, by ChatGPT 📜:
Felt stressed today balancing graduation, surprise deadlines, and podcast uploads. I uploaded yesterday’s show late, realized my top podcast isn’t episode one anymore, and clocked four hours split between Mina and Brian. Graduation made me reflect on the last decade. I’m working toward more coding hours and looking for modern JavaScript and HTML resources. Not sure if Duckett's books are outdated, but I want to learn then teach to deepen my understanding. Streak still alive on Mimo.

Summary of Today’s Show in 75 Words or Less, by ChatGPT 📜:
I just set up my new gold MacBook and started using it for everything—it’s noticeably faster. I talked through the upcoming week working for Mina, hoping to bump up to 3 hours daily to hit my financial goals. I’m debating cutting ties with Brian's chaotic group-chat-heavy gig. I mapped out my weekly schedule with coding, gym, and work blocks. I also brainstormed building my own beginner-friendly coding curriculum and possibly monetizing it. Big focus right now is debt payoff and using my time wisely.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by ChatGPT
"I want to spend the freshest, the crispiest hours of my day, where I'm peak energy, peak focus, peak optimism, working on my own shit."

Summary of Today’s Show in 75 Words or Less, by ChatGPT 📜:
Lexi ran her fastest and fifth half marathon today, and I got to surprise her in multiple spots with a posterboard. We chilled afterward with pizza and Couples Retreat. I took first place again on the Mimo leaderboard, deleted Minecraft to stop the distraction, and started cleaning my laptop ahead of migrating to my new one. Coding’s going strong and switching to JavaScript was the right move. New laptop feels symbolic of the new chapter post-job.

Summary of Today’s Show in 75 Words or Less, by ChatGPT 📜:
I spent the day helping my mom prep signs and gifts for Lexi’s fifth half marathon, which is tomorrow. I worked two hours for Mina, mostly setting up Slack and Notion, which I genuinely enjoyed. Even though I want to do more hours, that’s all that’s needed for now. Lately I’ve felt like I took a major step back from fitness coaching to coding. I’m year one in coding versus year thirteen in fitness, and that contrast stings.

"I really like what I’m doing there, and it’s fun, it’s enjoyable, it’s exciting for me."

Summary of Today’s Show in 75 Words or Less, by ChatGPT 📜:
I bought the new 2025 MacBook Air with the M4 chip and 24GB RAM using money from my Venmo, camera sale, and a laptop trade-in. It’s a clean upgrade mainly to support my multi-monitor setup and heavy multitasking. I reflected on my lack of structure despite having total free time now and realized I need serious discipline. I'm considering uploading coding tutorials daily to both reinforce my learning and possibly grow something long term on YouTube.

I officially don’t work at Hill Air Force Base anymore and kicked off the first episode in that new chapter. I’m grinding Mimo hard, trying to climb the leaderboard before Sunday, and decided to narrate a quick Python lesson but bailed halfway.

It’s bittersweet leaving the base, knowing I still have access to the gym and my work computer, but no longer have to report in.
