Episode Summary by AI

I had an unbelievably productive day fueled by total focus, a locked phone, and uninterrupted deep work on Dawson’s automation system. I explored business models for launching my Notion-based systems, calculating paths to $1 million annually with as few as 42 clients. I reflected on pricing strategies, maintaining client systems, and the philosophy of filtering advice. I ended the night documenting joy from a Tesla freeway run, linking my effort to earned rewards and lifestyle upgrades.
