Transcript: Had, I guess, two, maybe three, I guess, technically, nice calls back to back to back, which is really cool. Again, just like always good to talk to the homies and work things out and talk about them and see. Yeah, Cody and John, it was really nice catching up and like kind of giving Cody the download and he had a bunch of really good questions and some good frames and yeah, I don't know, it was nice. Just lots of thinking and I guess like I just brain dumped the fuck to him. So yeah, I mean, a lot of it sounds like framing, you know, writing good blog posts, you know, just putting media content out to try to explain the thing and probably, I mean, the most obvious thing from tonight is like just keep putting in the reps of sharing. So I guess that's gonna be kind of priority for tomorrow more or less and going from there and even if it's like short and silly and whatever, it's just like putting it out there maybe on like daily cadence, just something, just like a short little snippet to finish it up for the day and giving myself a break and like making sure that I do it. Yeah, and call with John, just like working through, grow it bigger and yeah, it's just always a pleasure to talk to John and then jumping on a call with Pascal and just seeing what's up with Tanaki and hanging out in the Tanaki app and honestly like, it was nice. I liked that better than FaceTime, like I would hang out there. And yeah, just get to talk, you know, kind of homie to homie about like what's real and the struggles and, you know, money and thinking about moving and all of this stuff. So just really grateful to have had the conversations that I did tonight and to be reminded of being in such a wonderful position in life to be able to work on this stuff and keep it fun and that it should also be for normal people. It's not just reserved for people in tech. I think that's gonna keep being critical to remember. So yeah, I will probably do a bit of building tomorrow, but I think I'll have to do a fair bit of expression of trying to express what the hell this thing is. So yeah, man, and the Stoked thing, really good. And I guess maybe I should start a group message with people assuming they're willing. So yeah.

I had a productive call with Jamie, during which we discussed my ideas and strategies for effectively pitching them. Jamie gave me tips on improving user experience and the importance of showing a polished concept over a rudimentary but functional prototype. We touched on the balance between immediate buildable aspects and long-term vision, emphasizing the importance of clarity in communicating how short-term plans align with the long-term future. I am grateful for Jamie's encouragement and advice, and I'm looking forward to possibly working with friends like Austin to further explore and demonstrate the potential of my ideas.

The call with Dave was fantastic, offering a chance to catch up and discuss numerous ideas and possibilities.

Today was eventful with a pleasant dinner party I hosted for Caroline, Patrick, and Kyle, reuniting this group for the first time in two years. The evening was filled with meaningful conversations, vulnerability, and appreciation for the company. I also visited Nick to help with their business spreadsheets, exploring potential additional income. Tomorrow's plans include a bike ride to Mnemonic to spend time writing and reflecting on recent discussions, fueled by energy and an espresso.
I had a productive call with Dave and discussed some writing tasks. I did some writing and have an open day tomorrow. I plan to hang out with Jordan, complete some tasks, and enjoy the day. I also biked to a nearby park and spent some time on a slack line, feeling a big flow state.

The speaker is reflecting on their experience with making audio burrito posts, noting that it often requires multiple attempts to get into the correct mindset—similar to drafting written posts. They're grappling with the challenge of monologuing without a clear understanding of the audience, as they are aware that at least John and CJ will hear it, but uncertainty about the wider audience affects their ability to communicate effectively. This creates a 'contextual membrane shakiness' as the speaker finds the lack of audience boundaries difficult to navigate, which they recognize may vary among different people. The speaker concludes by deciding to end the current note and start a new one.

He plans to get a massage to unwind physically and mentally. Pascal hopes for a feature that enables connection with his audience to avoid feeling isolated and looks forward to interacting with others on the platform.

I fulfilled my 2024 goal of deepening relationships tonight. I rode my bike looking for puddles to splash in after the rain, but found none. Instead, I had a rewarding conversation with Claire and Sam at Ichiban. This interaction was very satisfying.

The speaker conveys their frustration with a difficult fundraising experience, describing a particularly unsatisfactory video call with a fund representative. The caller was in a bad mood, hadn't reviewed the provided materials, and hesitated to engage with the product's features. This led to a tense exchange where the speaker challenged the representative's commitment to valuing founders versus purely focusing on financial metrics. Feeling disillusioned, the speaker is left with a distaste for these disengaged "NPCs" and remains focused on their vision of fostering creative and engaging spaces.
