706. Make Revelation, New Desk, Zoom Call

Recorded on: Thursday, September 24, 2025, 10:30 PM

Episode Summary by AI

I wrapped up Dawson’s tedious automation updates, realizing I can’t keep redoing master log relations and rollups at this scale. That sparked a breakthrough idea of shifting entirely to Make for automations, which could streamline updates, enforce subscriptions, and prevent piracy. I vented about clients calling things urgent but ignoring deliverables, felt relief about freeing time even if income drops, and shared updates on moving, selling my desk, disassembling my bed, and reflecting on why bedframes even matter.

The Make idea feels huge, though I’m still questioning its practicality. I’m frustrated with clients who cry urgency then ghost, but I also feel lighter knowing I’m gaining time back. I’m excited about moving, my new desk, and honestly amused at how little I care about a bed frame.
