Recorded on: Sunday, December 07, 2025 Episode Summary by AI I talk through catching up on nearly two weeks of missed uploads, my expanded monitor setup that finally works smoothly, and a productive day building out major chunks of the app including team blades and social features. I explore a competitor app called Life Reset, break down its structure, pricing, and differences, and process the brief hopelessness that comes from seeing someone already succeed. Later I discover Andy Frisella’s new Operator Standard platform which mirrors much of what I am building, triggering another round of comparison before reaffirming that my project still stands on its own path.

Seeing a competitor with traction always punches for a moment, but walking through how they actually operate reminded me that what I am building is different and still worth pursuing. Andy dropping a full platform the same moment I am deep in development is wild timing, but it doesn’t change what I am doing or why. My project still matters to me and I’m pushing it forward.
