Recorded on: Friday, October 24th, 2025, 6:32 PM Episode Summary by AI I posted three times on social media today, followed over a hundred potential clients, and booked my first sales call for the M1 Operations system next Thursday through a referral from Dawson. I’m excited but also anxious since the system isn’t fully finished yet. I reflected deeply on wanting respect more than approval, my lack of confidence, and how one $5,000 sale could prove everything I’ve worked for. Today was incredibly productive as I push toward completion. Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI “I don’t want to be a good man.

I just said it’s Friday, October 24th, and I went, it’s Friday the 13th.” My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI I feel proud of my progress but restless. I’m chasing validation that what I’ve built actually matters. I’m nervous that I’m not ready, yet I’m determined to prove that I can close a real deal and turn years of work into something tangible. Beneath all that drive is a deep desire for respect, not attention—just to be taken seriously and to know I’ve earned it. I’m scared, but this call feels like the start of something real.
