Episode Summary by AI I realized my average podcast listener only hears 1.45 episodes before leaving, which crushed me (it did not LOL), but reinforced the mission of documenting the journey no matter what. I reflected on being a six-figure earner temporarily until October, updated my financial spreadsheet, broke down debts to pay off, and confirmed that I don't need a job if I stick to current work hours. I also brainstormed how to build an AI-driven mega hub to connect and track every episode reference in my podcast.

My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI I felt discouraged seeing my retention stats but stayed grounded in why I started the podcast in the first place. I’m not chasing vanity metrics. I'm here to document everything, and that hasn’t changed. I had a breakthrough moment realizing I don’t need another job if I stick to the plan. There’s still doubt, still confusion, but also a weird comfort in knowing the math works. I’m just trying to keep going, and honestly, that’s enough right now.
