🎙️ Episode Opener
- Been a month since the last episode — recorded stuff but didn’t edit/post
- This episode has two main stories: black & white room + Popeyes chicken sandwich
- Reflected on summer two years ago — wild how far you've come
🧠 Black & White Room Thought Experiment
- Shared the “Mary in the black & white room” thought experiment
- Big idea: difference between shallow knowledge (knowing about something) vs deep knowledge (actually experiencing it)
- Tied it to startup life — always “knew” startups move fast, but finally felt what that really means
⚙️ Automation Meltdown at Leland
- Built an automation to assign leads + trigger emails/texts
- Didn’t prioritize it… until you found out it needed to go live in an hour
- Event starts, 1,000+ people hit the form, everything breaks
- Lived through “move fast and break things” — chaos but growth
