Recorded on: Wednesday, August 27, 2025, 09:14 PM

Episode Summary by AI I cracked a Make automation that sums numeric actions into a daily report in Notion. I tested it end to end and it works. I calculated credit usage and pricing at scale. Next I will handle non numeric dropdowns and future proof packages. I passed on Fiverr advice. A Zoom with the team aligned priorities. I reflected on Alex Hormozi’s time versus money lesson. Tesla service and budgeting updates rounded out the day.
