Just presented my app live at a coaching event and it went really well!
If anyone would be kind enough to watch and give feedback that would be appreciated 👏
FYI - I really don't like public speaking 😅😬

The early feedback is in and it’s a game changer. 🐾🔥
A massive thank you to all the accredited coaches who have jumped onto CoachDog over recently and left reviews about their experience.
When we built this platform, our goal was simple: to clear out the internet noise, protect industry integrity, and give true, accredited professionals a trusted space to showcase their brilliant work.
Seeing these early reviews prove that we’re doing exactly that is incredibly rewarding.
If you’re an accredited coach looking for a cleaner, more trusted way to build your online storefront, centralize your client social proof, and stand out… come see for yourself what the community is talking about.

@ben__investing Yeah 💯
All part of the process. Added a bit of IREN at $53. Was about 14% down at that point.
Some serious buying opportunities today (NFA).
@zuess05 Yeah idea with free trial is give them time to really get used to platform and create FOMO if they've invested time into their profile.
Also first 250 builds solid residency, so there will always be a solid baseline on the platform regardless!
I made this mistake for months, don’t do the same. 🛑⏳
I just received an automated email for my first two domain renewals.
It forced me to pause and realize something huge: the 19th June officially marks the 1-year anniversary since I stopped hiding behind code and put my very first app into the world.
Before buying those domains, I made that exact classic mistake…
I stayed stuck in development servers, tweaked local prototypes, and waited for a “perfect” concept.
I was completely hiding behind development code because launching felt too exposed.
Buying those domains was the exact inflection point where I stopped playing safe and committed to building in production.
Those first apps failed….
But shipping them into the real world taught me a vital lesson: you cannot think your way to a successful business. You have to execute your way there.
You have to ship, let things fail, and absorb the feedback to find the idea that actually sticks.
Every unused repository and domain purchase from this past year is exactly what got me to where I am today with CoachDog.
If you are sitting on a prototype, a business idea, or a side project you are waiting to perfect.. stop waiting.
Commit and start it.
Failure in production is infinitely better than perfection in development.
To anyone building a project or sitting on a business idea… what is holding you back from taking the next step and launching it?

Fun to start some product demo videos again. Thanks to @screenstudio, and finally with my new M4 I don't need to wait 30 min for building the video...
Our "pay yourself feature" in Cashflowy.
Basically, the goal is to have an overview of your business cash flow so you know what to pay yourself.
Everyone told me this wouldn’t work... until it did. 🐾🚀
When we first built CoachDog, people said accepting accredited coaches only would make onboarding too difficult and slow down our growth.
But we took the risk anyway…
We knew true, accredited professionals deserved a space built entirely around trust and integrity.
Seeing the early reviews coming through over the last few weeks has been incredible. It validates everything we are trying to do.
Here is what accredited coaches are saying about the platform so far:
- Built for Coaches: The platform feels thoughtfully designed for practitioners, rather than just being another complex tech tool.
- Simple Onboarding: Getting credentials verified and signing up is quick, seamless, and completely frictionless.
- Better Visibility: It provides a clean, professional storefront that easily connects coaches with people looking for them.
- Support That Cares: The team is friendly, highly responsive, and genuinely invested in helping independent coaches grow.
We can’t wait to see more reviews land and welcome the next wave of coaches to the platform.

Building a platform for coaches completely changed my perspective on the industry. 🤯
When my co-founder Paul and I first started building CoachDog, my focus was purely technical. But to build something meaningful, you have to immerse yourself in your users’ world.
Over the last few months, I’ve been connecting with hundreds of accredited coaches, absorbing their content, and learning from their experiences.
What strikes me most is just how vast this landscape is.
Seeing the real client reviews coming through on CoachDog highlights the incredible, tangible value these professionals bring when helping people achieve their goals.
I genuinely believe this industry is just getting started
I’m eternally grateful to be involved and to learn from so many fantastic, accredited coaches every single day.
To the accredited community, thanks for sharing your world with me.
If you’ve worked with a verified coach, what was the biggest breakthrough they helped you achieve? 👇

Here are the best AI subscriptions you can buy based on how much money you can spend:
$20/month
→ Codex
Best starter option.
You get the most value from one single subscription without overcomplicating your setup.
$50/month
→ $20 Codex + $20 Cursor + $10 OpenCode
Best budget combo.
Codex gives you strong reasoning/coding help
Cursor gives you access to the Composer 2.5 + IDE workflow
OpenCode gives you access to Chinese models
$100/month
→ Codex
At this point, I’d rather go deeper on one strong tool than spread money across too many subscriptions.
Less context switching, more focus.
$160/month
→ $100 Codex + $60 Cursor
Best serious builder setup.
Codex for heavy reasoning, planning, debugging and implementation help.
Cursor for redefining the UI with Composer 2.5 + Opus access
$200/month
Depends on what type of developer you are
If you just need best value for subscription and more logic/backend stuff go with Option 1
→ Option 1: $200 Codex
Best if you want one main AI tool and don’t want to think too much.
If you’re also a fan of front end development and more “human to model” interaction a mix of Codex and Claude fits you best
→ Option 2: $100 Codex + $100 Claude Code
Best if you want two strong coding agents with different styles and outputs.
Let me know what will you buy and what you’re using already!

The laptop hasn't changed in 30 years. NVIDIA just changed it
RTX Spark is their first PC chip ever.
- RTX 5070 level GPU
- 128GB unified memory
- 1 petaflop of local AI
- thin, light, barely throttles unplugged
Your AI agent lives on the machine. 24/7. No cloud.
This is step one of the agentic AI PC, and everyone else is about to copy it.
It depends on your goals and the time horizon you want to reach them (also how much you csn stomach individual fluctuations)
Ultimately there is nothing stopping you changing your approach if your risk appetite changes in the future
Good luck with your own investing journey.
Btw investing in your 20s is great, most people are blowing money in their 20s, not stacking it!

From a Tech 9-5 to full-time entrepreneurship. Let’s do a quick re-introduction. 👋📈
I’m Jamie. I’m based in the UK, married, and a proud dad to two young daughters.
For the last few years, I’ve been building software applications alongside my corporate career, searching for the right product to solve a real-world problem.
Then, a 20-year school anniversary changed everything….
I reconnected with my old friend Paul, who is the founder of coaching minds coaching school.
My technical background paired with his deep knowledge and intense passion for the coaching industry sparked a perfect synergy. That conversation was the birth of CoachDog.
Why we built CoachDog:
The coaching industry is currently flooded with unaccredited “gurus” and scams. We wanted to build a trusted space exclusively for accredited, vetted coaches to completely elevate the experience for both professionals and clients.
What to expect from me:
I am building CoachDog completely in public.
I’ll be documenting my raw journey from the corporate 9-5 into full-time entrepreneurship, alongside the day-to-day evolution of the platform itself.
