this is why I never feel sorry for people who "don't have enough time".
I woke up at 4am every day for 4 years straight, while on active duty in the Army, to work on my business before having to be at Army PT at 0615.
This was my actual schedule:
0400 Wake up
0415 - 0545: Work on business
0545-0615: Drive to military installation
0615-0800: Conduct Army PT
0800-0930: Work on my business (from my car with laptop)
0930-1130: first half of Regular Army workday
1130-1300: "Lunch" AKA working on business in my car again
1300-1700: second half of Regular Army workday
1700-1730: drive home
1730-2300: Work on business
23:00-0359: sleep
the amount of actual productive work I could get done in 90 minutes back then was impressive.
I changed my life by just doing 2 hrs of deep work EVERY DAY for a year.
I woke up at 6AM, lugged my ass to a coffee shop, and made tiny progress each day on my own business.
Then I went to my full-time job.
why is everyone just now talking about spotify distribution for youtube channels?
it was clear like 6 years ago after the $100M Joe Rogan deal that spotify was a platform worth repurposing/posting content on

maybe all startups and businesses for that matter are actually content creation companies….or should be.
if you don’t own an audience, you will have to rent one, and rent on eyeballs is only rising.
genuine agreement matters obviously
but a contract only matters as much as your willingness to enforce it (which, in practice, means filing a lawsuit and going to court).
so the question becomes, under what circumstances would you sue your client?
for me, it's virtually zero
Never trust a client.
"Contract will get signed by end of quarter"
"No need to document that"
"Oh it's not complicated - I'll share more once we sign"
It's served me well to be paranoid and ensure CYA is put in place at every stage.
In 2000, the headline would have been "100% of public companies are now on the World Wide Web"
Every company will be an "AI company" to some degree, in the same way that every company today is an "internet company" to some degree.
