Just in time for the holiday season, I interview *myself* on the creative process and what it’s like inside my own brain when I design and create automations. This way maybe I can finally answer the inevitable family reunion question of, “So Mik… what do you do?

 

Fam, this one’s for you!! Hahaha

 

Inside the episode are the many versions of my brain:

 

  • Constellations, not stars: How I gather info so I can see the vision before building anything. (3:00)
  • Putting my hyper-awareness to good use: How I design automations that work the way your brain does. (11:00)
  • The Rolodex Method of Problem Solving: thank u, next! (16:31)
  • An algorithm I actually like: AKA the most fun automation I’ve built (22:40)
  • I bet you must be super organized, huh: oh sheesh not at all (25:32)

 

And why all this high-tech shenanigans are one of the most deeply human aspects of my life.

 

This episode is perfect for:

 

  • Curious clients who want to understand my approach to tech and automation.
  • Aspiring techies and automation enthusiasts eager to learn from my experience.
  • Anyone who loves a good behind-the-scenes look at real-life examples (and the brains behind them).
  • And let's be real, anyone who's just a little bit nosy. (‘Cause same, I’m chismosa too!)

P.S. You don’t need to be a techie to enjoy this episode! ‘Cause it’s not about the automations… it’s about the people. Uyyyy
