I made real progress on my system but realized I keep falling into the trap of trying to make it perfect. I decided it's better to ship the working version now and improve it later.

While there, I met a guy named Eai and we instantly connected over business talk, Alex Hormozi, and our shared entrepreneurial mindset.

Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI "I just need more people in my life who are, you know, like-minded and I can talk shop with." "I think I'm just in a transitionary period where I just, maybe those types of people are just not anywhere to be found for me right now."

Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by AI "If I ever fail the show, it's going to be because I'm laying in Lexi's bed in her mom's house." "We’re best friends. His name is Eai. So he... So funny, huh?" "Can't check because I scrolled down too far. Stupid." My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI I felt genuinely grateful today.

I'm optimistic though — I know I’ll find my tribe, but I’ve got to finish what I started first.

The business. Mickey and Minn Disneyland.” “The Long Beach Airport. It’s about the size of one fourth of the A hallway in the Salt Lake Terminal, if you know you know.” “This guy’s in the trunk… Oh, it’s like a reunion, that’s cool.” My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI I’m in California, juggling travel and work pressure, trying to stay on top of it all. Being on a plane and landing at a hilariously small airport set the tone for a weird, scattered day. I’m feeling overwhelmed by the technical nightmare of relinking Notion systems, but I’m trying to just chip away at it and not let it get to me.

Ep 673643. So Complex…
ERecorded on: Wednesday, July 23, 2025, 11:13 PM Episode Summary by AI I'm deep in building an ultra-complex Notion system to track every possible metric for fitness coaches, including 132 auto-calculating formulas across multiple databases. I’m obsessively verifying accuracy, filtering for current vs all-time data, and facing the challenge of chart compatibility with rollups. It's grown into a massive structure with over 160 columns. With clients like Trey, Dawson, and Mina waiting, the pressure’s on, but I remind myself that just ONE $5K sale per month is enough to survive. Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI "If there's one inaccuracy, if one thing is wrong, especially if it's obviously wrong... I just question the integrity of the entire system." "To think that in order for me to survive and provide for myself... I only have to make one sale a month... that is just really reassuring." "It's kind of like I'm getting one sale a month based on how much I'm getting paid... and to think about it that way... I can't complain, dude. This is very cool." Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by AI "I almost said fess coaching. Nice. For their fness coing business." "I’m going to have to just be a giant. Huge pain in my asshole." "My hell. I feel like I sound so congested lately." My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI I feel overwhelmed but proud. This system has spiraled into something way more intense than I ever expected, and while it's frustrating to deal with so many details, I know the end result is going to be game-changing. I'm a bit stressed by client pressure and the complexity of making everything perfect, but I also feel secure knowing that financially I just need to land one sale a month. I’m in deep, but I’m all in. What I Did Today - Summarized by AI Built and audited over 132 formulas, organized columns across multiple databases, realized errors in monthly vs lifetime calculations, prepped to relink for each client, talked with Mina about rollout, committed to five days of deep work, reviewed financials, and reflected on my progress and future goals.

I also explore my obsessive love for tracking data, and how this passion is driving the growth and future of my business vision.

"I want to be able to provide that more than I want it for myself." "The accomplishments and the milestones matter more than the dollar amount or anything else." Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by AI "How many times did I blink at a red light while holding an energy drink in my left hand?" "Zero, but I’m sure there's somebody that’s done that. Who did it the most? What the fuck’s his name?" "I want to create the ultimate stat sheet of life — including how many times someone podcasted while shitting their pants." My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI I’m deeply aware of what I value and what I don’t. I don’t care about surface-level things like vacations, flashy purchases, or even nature’s beauty the way most people do. What moves me is building something real and lasting, especially for my future family. I feel more grounded than ever, even as I obsessively build systems. I feel like I’m winning by not needing much to be fulfilled, and that’s giving me a quiet kind of confidence. What I Did Today - Summarized by AI Worked silently and uninterrupted for four hours, avoided distractions until noon, scrolled social media briefly and regretted it, drank an energy drink while working, built new Notion side projects including Macros Hub and task logging system, reflected on Alex Hormozi’s view on vacations, documented my mindset, and ended the night around 10:30 p.m. Business Revenue Tracker (Since 12/20/24) Income Today: +$0 Total Income: 14,342

I love what I do, working 74 hours a week building Notion systems and chasing my goals. Despite pressure to adopt a morning routine or scale back, I find deep fulfillment in the grind. I deleted my chess account to remove distractions, and I'm doubling down on what excites me. I feel aligned, focused, and unapologetically committed.

ERecorded on: Sunday, July 20, 2025, 10:56 PM Episode Summary by AI First-ever podcast recorded from the Tesla with Lexi next to me in her car. Started with chaos, screaming, and almost editing it out, but kept going. I had a momentary panic thinking I missed a show yesterday, felt the failure, then realized I didn’t. Worked on the Notion expense tracker for Mina, Dawson, and PTDOM, though it's hard to copy over due to complex links. Spent five hours applying a ceramic car coating and scratched the car by mistake but learned from it.

So the next time I do this, I can guarantee you it's not going to happen again." "What am I going to do? Get pissed about it and cry? Like, I don’t know, just move the fuck on."

I was kind of all over the place emotionally—from minor panic to car detailing pride to being annoyed about system rebuilding. I’m excited about the PTDOM project but feel guilty for not prioritizing it. The car scratches sucked, but I honestly handled it well.

ERecorded on: Saturday, July 19, 2025, 09:30 PM Episode Summary by AI I vented while working late, reflecting on how hard it is to finalize my systems while people are already using them. I'm trying to perfect the payroll and revenue tracking tools, but rebuilding them mid-use feels like a nightmare. I talked through how to track metrics like churn, how complicated all the “if this then that” logic is, and why I won’t settle for a cut-corner version. So far I’ve made $14,342 and projected $15,402 this month. Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI "There's just too many possibilities and too many ideas and not enough time to do it all."

But then I'll know that I can make it ten times better."

I feel stuck between doing what’s good enough and what’s great, knowing I’ll hate myself later if I settle. I’m proud of the money coming in, but frustrated that improving systems means going backward just to go forward. I think I overestimate others’ expectations, and that puts pressure on me, but part of me thrives on it. I’m just trying to make something solid that actually lasts and scales. What I Did Today - Summarized by AI Worked late from Lexi’s bed, built a PT Dom dashboard, Photoshopped their logo into notion, brainstormed solutions for payroll and revenue systems, wrote down theoretical formulas, recalculated total income since December, tracked monthly revenue growth, got paid by Mina, and recorded this episode despite background noise.

ERecorded on: Wednesday, July 16, 2025, 10:17 PM - Zooms will be uploaded on 637. Too tired for this shit lol Episode Summary by AI: I had two Zoom calls today but forgot because the day felt so long and mentally draining. I worked on Notion automations, struggled with a frustrating issue, and found an ugly but functional solution. I texted clients to delay delivery in favor of building something better with no extra work required on their end. I also reflected on distractions, Dan Martel’s “turn pro” mindset, and podcast ad stats, revealing I’ve earned four cents after 636 episodes. Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI “If I can spend, I guess, 15 hours trying to figure out how to make it so that it’s one click, I think that’s where the value is.” “You need to turn pro. You need to go pro, meaning you need to... put more effort into whatever it is you’re trying to build and just go from there.” “Time is so valuable, dude. That is the only thing in life that we will never, ever get more of, and we lose it every second.” Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by AI “It was like, just give us your baby. Something like that.” “It took me 636 days straight recording a podcast every day to make four cents.” “Now I got a road trip to Maine from Utah.” My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI I’m feeling mentally fried but accomplished. I didn’t get a rush of joy from solving my Notion issues, but I pushed through and made real progress. There’s this lingering guilt around delaying projects even though the upgrades will be way more valuable. I'm tired of distractions stealing my focus. Dan Martel’s message hit hard—I need to turn pro. I’m proud of what I’m building, but I know I can go harder, be sharper, and stay locked in.

ERecorded on: Monday, July 14, 2025, 09:55 PM Episode Summary by AI I reflected on Dan Martell’s advice to stop selling time and start selling outcomes, realizing I need to move away from hourly work. While still relying on hourly jobs to pay off debt, I began cold DM outreach to fitness coaches using a Notion tracker I built. Messaging 11 accounts was surprisingly fun, unlike my past outreach in fitness. I also struggled with complex Notion automation but stayed driven, discovering new formula tricks along the way.

That’s crazy.” “I got a shit. You better start this over.” My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI Today I felt a real shift. Dan Martell’s quote hit me hard, and I realized I’m so done with selling my time. There’s something really energizing about this new direction with Notion systems for fitness coaches—it doesn’t feel forced like the fitness content did.

ERecorded on: Sunday, July 13, 2025, 09:30 PM Episode Summary by AI I worked from my desk while Lexi was here, trying to finish early to avoid last-minute uploads. PTDOM still hasn’t given me work, and I now owe 30 hours of work. Dawson's project is frustrating due to poor communication and tedious cross-referencing between spreadsheets.

"I just need to stay in this flow because everything makes sense to me right now, and if I were to take a break and come back, I'd probably shit all over my desk trying to figure out what I was even thinking." Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by AI "None of them are capitalized, so, you know, I quit." "Every time Trey gets thrown into the mix, I'm Dr. Seuss because everything rhymes." "Try Marf. I' Salamine.

Ep 660630. Shiny Object Syndrome or Eager to Grow?
ERecorded on: Thursday, July 10, 2025, 11:47 PM Episode Summary by AI I was offered a full-time Head of Operations role by Riley, who runs a $298K/month fitness coaching business with nearly 500 clients and 23 coaches. The offer was $6K/month, but it would demand 8 hours/day, leaving no room for current projects. After deep thought and advice from Lexi and Mina, I decided to counter with a system-build-and-train package instead. Staying loyal to Trey, Dawson, and Mina while scaling what I build aligns better with my long-term vision of selling packaged systems and eventually launching software. Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI “You, yourself, especially with our last conversation of the time management thing, like, I think you should be a master of your time first.” “Would I rather work 270 hours a week to get eight grand a month today right now? Or would I rather work the next six months, build something out… and then two hours, get eight grand?” “Because then we would just be a company that builds cool shit for business owners. Dude, that gets me fired up.” Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by AI “Took a shower and had a magical moment. Gay.” “How about you, Zura? What do you think? And then he, she, then would say, um, I'm offended. and then she would get fired.” “Explosion emoji doesn’t show up when you type explode. That’s just fucking so goddamn annoying.” My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI I felt torn between what looked like an insane opportunity and what actually aligns with my real vision. Riley's offer was flattering, and I wanted it, but deep down I know I’d be trading the long game for quick cash. Lexi and Mina really helped me zoom out and see the big picture. I'm proud I paused, stepped back, and chose me over the paycheck. It’s hard not to chase shiny objects, but I’m playing to win the long game now. What I Did Today - Summarized by AI Had a Zoom call with Riley about a full-time role, discussed it in depth with Lexi and Mina, calculated time and income tradeoffs, voiced my decision to stay the course, drafted a counteroffer, brainstormed system packaging strategy, and got a message from Ritzie about moving her team from Google Sheets to Notion.

Sold monitors with a buyer mix-up, but resolved it. Felt overwhelmed managing separate Notion systems, fixing major automations, and staying focused. Gym and nutrition slipped hard, but work remains fulfilling. Struggling with discipline and scattered workflow. Tesla’s fun but untouched due to work. Need to lock in strict routines. Just want the system to work and scale cleanly. Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI "It’s almost as if I’ve quote, leveled up to that next level and it has nothing to do with the car." "These obligations afforded me this car, but because of these obligations, I can’t do anything with the car." "I just want this to work more than I want any kind of, you know, conversation or anything." Funny, Out of Context Quotes, by AI "I'll get Scolios. It’s all good. No worries." "Let me interrupt this broadcast here to say that I just did my first update on my car." "Thank you. All right. Anyway, that's it. Here's the Mina call." My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI I’m spread thin. I feel like I’m doing great in work, but I’m also frustrated because that success is causing everything else to slip. I’m neglecting my body, skipping meals, and skipping the gym, but I keep justifying it by telling myself I need to finish the work first. The truth is I need better discipline. I need strict structure. I’m proud of what I’m building, but I feel the consequences of not locking in. What I Did Today - Summarized by AI Worked 12 hours across Mina, Trey, and Dawson projects, had 2 Zoom calls, fixed Notion automations, sold and refunded monitors, skipped gym, barely ate, tracked tasks in Notion, dealt with Tesla software update, followed up with potential new job, and waited on my new chair delivery.
