603. Good For Me, Weird Interaction, Mind Mapping, Zoom Call

Recorded on: Friday, June 13, 2025, 07:55 PM
Episode Summary by AI
I figured out a way to bundle and transfer my Notion system more efficiently, even though it's still a pain. That made me realize its complexity is actually a good thing—it acts as a built-in lock against theft or over-sharing. I had a Zoom call with Trey where we mapped out renewal logic, brainstormed on a whiteboard, and realized how intricate this system really is. Sold a chair, ran two miles, made $484, and am thinking about buying a car.

"Any time spent not working on this is time that's being pushed further back on me achieving kind of my goals on everything."

My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI
I’m oddly hyped. Everything’s coming together even though it's messy as hell. That Zoom call with Trey made me realize I’m literally building something people are already paying for, and I can sell it later. I’m proud of figuring out some of the renewal logic and of pushing through two miserable miles. Selling the chair and getting paid today felt solid. I'm thinking bigger now—about cars, systems, the whole package. Just trying to stay on it and keep moving forward.
What I Did Today - Summarized by AI
Figured out Notion transfer workaround, sold my chair for $100, ran two miles, brainstormed renewal system on whiteboard, had Zoom call with Trey, mapped out CRM logic, reflected on pricing and business model, made $484 total today.

I shared how my new calendar setup and shift routines are helping me stay somewhat organized. I reflected on how much better life feels now versus my old 9-to-5, reconnected with an old mentor, and realized how mentally exhausting but fulfilling this work is.

I love the systems I’m building, but the tech limitations are pissing me off. I want everything to function right, without breaking shit. I need sleep. I want simplicity. I’m trying to stay ahead of it all.

601. New Car & Debt Free Goals, Frustrations, Annoyances

Recorded on: Thursday, June 12, 2025, 12:13 AM (this is for Jun 11th though lol so late)
Episode Summary by AI
I pitched a Notion-based backend system to a high-level business mastermind and unexpectedly got green-lit by one of the biggest names. That led to internal friction with another leader, which brought up frustrations and doubts. I mapped out how to package and price my systems at $5K to $10K, backed by how little that is relative to million-dollar businesses. I also broke down my debt payoff plan, saving strategy, car upgrade ideas, and what this entire pivot could become.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI
"Every time I build something, I'm just going to put it into my own page, my own workspace, polish it off, get everything working the way it needs to work, send it."
"If I sell something for 10 grand, all I got to do is sell 10 a year, bro, and I'm 100K club."
"Even getting to this point in my journey here makes me so thankful that I've documented everything up to this point."
Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by AI
"Don't crash your car, bro."
"You eat wiener, bro."
"Show me a locomotive. That's so sick to me."
My Thoughts & Feelings for Today – Summarized by AI
I’m excited, overwhelmed, and kind of frustrated all at once. There’s massive opportunity in front of me, but I’m also hitting walls with people who don't get it. I know I'm onto something powerful with these backend systems, and I'm finally starting to understand the true value I can bring. I’m also thinking long-term—about money, freedom, even a new car—but I know I still have a lot to build, learn, and prove.
What I Did Today – Summarized by AI
Pitched a backend system to a high-level group, navigated conflict with leadership, planned debt payoff timeline, calculated system pricing strategy, explored car upgrade options, built systems for clients, reviewed team sizes across businesses, analyzed income vs. pricing, and reflected on my entire journey from coaching to Notion to coding.

600. I Think I’m On To Something... Fired Up, 5 Businesses, New Ideas, Zoom Call

Recorded on: Tuesday, June 10, 2025, 11:12 PM
Episode Summary by AI
I reflected on the 8-year anniversary of my first bodybuilding competition and shared a major update: I now officially work for Trey, Dawson, and Mina, potentially Ryley too. I explored how these Zoom calls are essentially sales calls and questioned if I've been selling the wrong thing all along. I dove deep into the idea of building a scalable back-end infrastructure business for high-level fitness coaches, considering packaging everything into a plug-and-play system priced between $3K and $15K. I also explored what value truly means and how I could position this offering for maximum impact.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI
"You can't see what you can't see. You don't know what you don't know."
"You're not buying time. You're buying clarity, scalability, and peace of mind."
"I want to be responsible for my life and my actions, be the reason why my life is in the place that it is—not because I got won the lottery."

"On June 8th or 9th, I was darker than a Mexican."
"On the third hand, which would be my cock, I guess..."
"I'm on a 10,191-day streak of pissing."
My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI
Today I feel fired up, overwhelmed, but also kind of electrified by this shift I might be stepping into. I'm seeing my value in a way I haven’t before. I’ve got three legit clients and I’m realizing I may have stumbled into a whole business that I actually love. It’s not about coaching fitness anymore. It’s about building shit that makes people’s lives easier. I feel like I’m right on the edge of something big, but I’m also wrestling with the unknown. Still, I trust my gut.
What I Did Today - Summarized by AI
Had a Zoom call with Trey, officially joined his team, reflected on my 8-year bodybuilding anniversary, explored the idea of productizing my systems work, reviewed Hormozi’s value frameworks, brainstormed pricing strategies, questioned my future in fitness coaching, and considered building a scalable ops offer for high-level coaches.

599. Hired x3, More Work, Multiple Zoom Calls, New Podcast Setup

Recorded on: Monday, June 09, 2025, 10:05 PM
I had two Zoom calls today instead of five and got hired for a two-hour daily role with Dawson, adding to my existing work with Mina. Riley's setup is unconventional and lacks systems, which I noticed during our call. I reflected on needing structured notes, talked through adjusting my daily schedule, considered podcast software upgrades, and questioned stereotypes about tech people. I also ranted about gym crowds, financial recovery, my minimalist lifestyle, and how my values diverge from typical norms.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI
"I was going into debt using credit cards and guess what? It’s almost like it doesn’t fucking matter because I made it out."
"Maybe I’m just not at that phase of life where I can have that freedom yet to just go to the gym whenever I want."
"Everything that’s going on right now is because of my desire to just do shit and kind of do things differently."
Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by AI
"Obsessed with walrus nutting? I don’t know, dude."
"Don’t be at the same gym I’m at when you’re doing that."
"My coffee pot is hot, hot, hot. What’s up, Dr. Seuss?"
My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI
Today I felt proud but overwhelmed. I landed another gig which is exciting, but I can tell I need more structure and probably better systems if I’m going to manage all this. I’m grateful for the opportunities Mina opened up for me. I’m also clearly thinking long term—about how I’ll handle growth, money, and staying sane. A little insecure at times, but I’m working through it. I’m not faking anything. Just figuring it out as I go.
What I Did Today - Summarized by AI
Had two Zoom calls, got hired by Dawson, recorded a podcast, edited over a phone number mistake, reviewed Riley’s systems, brainstormed workflow improvements, explored podcast software options, updated my income spreadsheet, vented about tech issues, reflected on gym crowding, and logged ideas for scheduling and self-discipline.

I also got a voice message from Trey who might bring me onto his team, which could increase income.

Today was different—it actually felt like living. I laughed, connected, and still got things done. That balance felt good. The work ahead with Notion is going to be brutal, but I like the challenge. This is the first time in a while I’ve felt really in it.

596. Frustrations With Leadership, Rants & Venting, Spreadsheets

Recorded on: Friday, June 06, 2025, 10:11 PM
Episode Summary by AI
I vented hard today about frustrations working under PT Dom, especially with leaderships lack of communication and unclear feedback on spreadsheets I built. Felt boxed into being the “spreadsheet guy” for his clients with no raise or clarity. Explored whether to keep doing this or go all-in on finding other businesses to help, especially like I do for Mina. Broke down my financials, future goals, frustration with leadership, sleep habits, and the desire to feel progress by building and coding real things.

“Two thumb lengths above the mountains if you put your thumb up, you know, as a measurement?”
My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI
I’m fed up. I'm trying to do good work, and all I’m getting back is vague criticism and no real direction. I’m annoyed, not crushed, but annoyed. I want to feel like I’m actually building something of value that matters and not just being used as a backend tool. I need some autonomy and appreciation, not just to be told it’s too complex. I’m not spiraling—I’m evaluating. And deep down, I know I need to recalibrate and pick my path again.

Vent about PT Dom leadership, defend my spreadsheet design, hide extra features to simplify it, post in group chat offering ops help, analyze financial situation, plan escape from PT Dom, consider going back to FedEx, calculate rent with Lexi, commit to waking up earlier, rant about sleep, finalize my next steps.

595. The Numbers Mason… What Do They Mean, Progress, Financials

Recorded on: Thursday, June 05, 2025, 10:46 PM
Episode Summary by AI
I overhauled the onboarding and routing system in Notion, refining logic flows between client types, streamlining automations, and separating onboarding into its own space. I finished the Community Manager’s dashboard with milestone trackers and a clean interface and then tackled the much messier Blue Coach dashboard. I ranted about the chaos of linking multiple databases and trying to eliminate user error. Despite mental fatigue, I love building this. Financially, I mapped out debt payoff, savings, rent projections, and feel confident moving forward.
Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI
“Trying to make it so when any client gets added to any spot ever, it automatically links everything else to that right then and there.”
“That means I have from 10:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. to do whatever the fuck I want.”
“I don’t care about October, January, December, June. I don’t give a fuck, dude. As long as it’s warm, we’re good.”

My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI
I feel completely fried from the sheer amount of mental load building out these systems, but I’m also proud of what I’ve created. It’s been chaotic, a lot of backtracking, but I’m finally seeing structure and progress. I want to wrap this up so I can breathe and shift focus again. I’m also feeling more grounded financially, which gives me peace. It’s nice knowing I’m in control and that everything I’m building might really pay off soon.
What I Did Today - Summarized by AI
Built and redesigned multiple Notion dashboards, finalized community manager workflow, refined onboarding automations, watched Gordon Ramsay’s Secret Service, tracked financials, saved $140, paid $300 toward debt, projected October rent needs, and recalculated future financial runway.
