772. The Blade Resurfaces, Brain Dump, App Dev

Recorded on: Saturday, November 29, 2025 Episode Summary by AI I talk through a hyper productive day where I stepped away from FitBiz dev and dove deep into building a new iPhone app inspired by my old Blade protocol. I explain why FitBiz became overwhelming due to its complexity and high stakes. I outline my vision for a habit tracking app with public accountability, community challenges, leaderboards, integrity driven culture, influencer backed programs, and gamification. I describe my excitement, my lack of pressure to rush FitBiz, and my desire to build something for myself.

My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI I felt pulled back to Blade because it actually energizes me. FitBiz felt heavy and bloated and I could see myself getting buried under its moving parts, deadlines, and expectations. Building something for myself woke up the part of me that likes creating without pressure. I’m not panicked about sales or timelines and I’m not scared of worst case scenarios. I want to build something that excites me, something that feels meaningful, something I’ll actually use. What I Did Today - Summarized by AI Built an iPhone app, brainstormed Blade ideas, evaluated FitBiz complexity, paused FitBiz dev, cleaned the house, made the bed, reflected on monetization paths, explored leaderboard concepts, planned community features, thought through accountability systems.
