Why can’t I just focus and get things done?
Some days I’m too tired or bored.
Other days I’m anxious and overwhelmed.
This was me 👆... But here's how I've solved it for good 👇

A.I. is NOT OVERHYPED
Just created ten AD creatives in ~40 mins with Nano Banana.
All consistent and good enough to experiment with.
This would’ve taken hours before AI.

An exercise in pricing products:
For FlowStateRadio.com 👇
$5/mo tier → ~3.7 months
$15/mo tier → ~1.2 months
Same LTV though 🤯
I got this data w/ Stripe Sigma.
ChatGPT and I think the sweet spot is single tier at $10/mo.
Would you go higher or lower?

@cursor_ai finally has a plan mode.
It actually created a detailed .md file for me to review with a button to trigger execution. Quite nice and something I was missing when switching away from Claude Code.

For all you Auth nerds, is this auth pattern in @nextjs ok?
– Clients call the API with auth
– API checks user identity (e.g. via @ClerkDev )
– API queries the DB directly (no JWT validation)
So the DB doesn’t know about auth, it just trusts the API to enforce it. Good practice?

Reminding myself that *Marketing >>>> Product*
Imagine spending a *few hours* creating a video/blog/etc...
...and getting traffic to your product for months or years.
That's an insane ROI.

I think, "it's the journey not the destination" is wrong
It makes it sound like we're picking between the two.
My current experience tells me:
- when we focus on the journey we get the destination.
- when we focus on destination we lose both.

Who else is using Insomnia, or Postman App like this?
