    The Theater of Chaos: Where Your Future Dies...

    MINDSET NEWSLETTER 
    You are 100% right that it is filling a void. That's the part that I am definitely struggling with - what void am I trying to fill with it. And it is interesting because the time when I had fully separated myself from it where it didn't affect me as much is when I had a lot more going on in my...

    The Theater of Chaos: Where Your Future Dies...

    MINDSET NEWSLETTER 
    The timing on this one is pretty eerie. I've been a big baseball fan my whole life. I love the sport. I KNOW a lot about the sport and it is something I share with my family. We talk about it almost every day when there is a game going on, so it is a way to keep is connected. Lately I had...

    Is Product Management consulting still worth it in 2026?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    We do meet with clients but in the field I’m in right now it’s for bigger enterprises. My consulting would be for smaller companies.

    This is looking really good! Been fun reading through the journey. Building a game is no easy feat and you're actually doing it. Keep it up! Excited to see where it all ends up!

    Is Product Management consulting still worth it in 2026?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Most of my career has been in tech, in Product Management. I've been busting my a$$ these past few months for a big release and the one thing my semi-boss said in the performance review as "how do we get more of you?" and that although I am meeting expectations, I still need to do more. I don't...

    Thanks man! Definitely exciting. I still doubt that people will actually want it, so I need to keep pushing and getting more customers. But I am excited for the humble start so far! I would say that some coding skills are still required. You could have an MVP with Lovable but I feel like...

    You scaled back since then, are you still doing the carpeting or are you moving to a different type of business? Or maybe retired all together at this point? I definitely see your point. I think Lovable is still limited in a way but it will be good for folks to create MVPs. AI Tools in general...

    Self-publishing as in you write books and publish them on Amazon? I hear you for sure. I guess I am not as good in the home service businesses and SaaS feels like something I could easily do at any point in the day especially if I have some downtime at work / at lunch or something. Have you...

    @MTF I am curious what kind of lifestyle business you've built. Any of them SaaS?

    I'm definitely of the mentality that "10% of something is better than 100% of nothing". So I am more than open to partners. I meant it more like you have to be able to trust them if you are willing to build something with them but I know there's a lot of areas others are WAY better at than me...

    HOT! SAAS / APPS 
    It is definitely something that has crossed my mind lately. Especially so I can focus more on things I actually want to do. But I go back and forth on it, because on the one hand I would like to go through the pain of learning more about marketing and what could potentially work for this idea...

    @JayS5 appreciate the thoughtful response. I definitely don't want to fall into the "a solution in search of a problem" state. Which is why I want to focus on pain points to then figure out potential solutions. You are right though that I am focusing on SaaS but that's mostly because it is what...

    I don't get why everyone is so caught up in the philosophical conversation about the want. It has been interesting, but it also not doing much to help with the conversation or the question at hand. And I already mentioned I already got started and have continued to work on the project I started...

    @Antifragile I actually did build something already, even before I posted this. I built deardiario.com. Also it isn't my first attempt at building something but it is the most recent one. And I built it because it is something I wanted for myself (like others have mentioned here before). This...

    This is something I hadn't thought about for this kind of situations but ironically it is something I do daily at my day job. I tell people to always do something manually and that isn't scalable and then we can figure out how to automate it/build it from there. You don't want to automate...
