680. Improving Automations, Getting Feedback, Testimonials

Recorded on: Friday, August 29, 2025, 09:59 PM

Episode Summary by AI

I hit 680 days in a row recording this podcast, though technically 678 due to early breaks. Lexi and I went to her friend’s birthday, then had a deep talk on politics and religion. I got more of Mina’s team onto Notion and learned how users handle mobile only, which gave me valuable feedback. I realized testimonials can come from every team member, not just leaders. I revamped my Instagram to “not a business coach,” refined Make.com automations, and enjoyed a date night with Lexi.
