SSAB - August 17, 2026

Package delayed! I hope they didn’t lose my passport! “Unfortunately, we made an error

sorting your package. We’re trying to correct it, and we’re committed to delivering your

package as requested. We’re sorry for any inconvenience or delay.”

Cleaning up and getting rid of some stuff… if not now, then when? Found some books I started reading years ago… 1Q84 and Shantaram! Big books!

Automation success… but there’s a problem with my transcripts: they’re too long!

-Automatically copies transcript to Google Drive

-Synched Google Drive

Workout in! But slow going!

“The audio blog is the trust engine, not the product engine

Daily audio documentation builds an unusually deep parasocial relationship — but it

does not convert unless you build explicit bridges. Every 5–7 episodes should contain a

natural, narrative-embedded mention of a specific paid product or service. Not an ad

break. A story that concludes with "I turned this into a template — it's in the notes.””
