Recorded on: Thursday, October 02, 2025, 09:18 PM Episode Summary by AI I admit recent episodes felt rushed as I grind on my Notion product. I recommit to training for mobility and health after back flare ups and gym inconsistency.

Recorded on: Thursday, October 01, 2025, 10:52 PM Episode Summary by AI Today I struggled with moving everything I built for Trey into his Notion because the system wouldn’t transfer properly and gave constant errors. I recorded a video explaining the issue to him and promised updates but it’s frustrating since Notion isn’t real software with push-to-update. I reflected on costs like a $600 garage outlet, double rent, and losing income from PT Dom and Dawson. Despite setbacks, I messaged Karen to push forward on building and selling the project.

Give this thing time to work.” “Part of me thinks that it would just be so much easier mentally to just go about without working for Trey and only do shit for me too.” Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by AI “I went and brushed my teeth, got into bed, and I pulled the covers over and I thought, oh, didn’t record a show.” “It was 600 bucks so that blows, but I signed up for that when I bought a car.” “I don’t have a pull up, but yeah, we’re good.” My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI I feel frustrated and drained because this Notion problem made me look unreliable when I know it’s not my fault.

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.

Recorded on: Saturday, August 30, 2025, 09:44 PM Episode Summary by AI I reflected on hiring a VA to speed up progress on my Notion systems and automation builds. I weighed expenses, did spreadsheet math, and calculated my bare minimum monthly survival number at $5,200.

Recorded on: Saturday, August 23, 2025, 11:03 PM Episode Summary by AI I realized my podcast episodes have gotten way longer than intended, sometimes over an hour when the original vision was one minute per day. Today I worked for Dawson building a one-off expense tracker, which took four and a half frustrating hours to link because of existing systems. I reminded myself that Dawson and Mina’s income alone covers my survival needs. I decided to refocus by simplifying the expense tracker into its own database and probably hire someone from Fiverr to handle automations since AI tools keep failing me. Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI I have to remind myself that they’re providing an income for me to survive, to do this. The automations and the gathering and summing up of data, that is everything. Right now it’s just getting messy as fuck and it’s just unnecessary.

What I Did Today - Summarized by AI Looked at podcast lengths, worked for Dawson from 8 to 12:23, built and linked a one-off expense tracker, spent hours troubleshooting connections, reminded myself of my income priorities, explored Fiverr for automation help, decided to rebuild the expense tracker as expenses only, noted Kobe Bryant’s birthday.

Most of my time went into building KPI metrics, which became extremely tedious and got me considering hiring a VA from onlinejobs.ph.
