683. I Can Use Both, Feeling Shiddy, Zoom Call Presentation

Recorded on: Monday, September 01, 2025, 10:59 PM

Episode Summary by AI

I realized I can use both Make and Zapier instead of limiting myself. I dealt with frustrations around monitors, noisy chairs, and presenting my Notion system on a Zoom call where the team seemed overwhelmed but engaged. I reflected on learning from debates like PBD versus anti-capitalists, doubting whether my system might be too complex, and reminding myself that unfamiliarity always feels overwhelming. Lexi and I secured a townhome after negotiation, planned for charging upgrades, and I kept building and refining client systems despite hiccups.
