    185 - Rearranging racks at midnight
    2026/07/07

    Jem and Justin trade toddler war stories before Jem confesses he'd rather tear down 4.5m pallet racking alone at midnight than hire anyone. Justin reveals his June sales cliff after a domain migration tanked Google traffic, hitting Profit First distributions hard. They also riff on the Obsidian exodus from Notion, breaking up with Cursor for Claude Code, and why rearranging the shop is happening before finishing new products.

    184 - Everything's an (AI) Hammer
    2026/06/30

    Jem and Justin chat about the World Cup's surprisingly warm reception in the US, Jem's Kitta Parts Builder getting a 3D preview upgrade (doors that actually open), and a FedEx API build that finally came together. Justin shares how Shopify's AI flagged a 430-pound weight bug before support did. They close on a real Profit First curveball: what do you do when a big deposit lands early?

    183 - Hoarding unfinished projects
    2026/06/16

    Justin makes himself a 5-axis trophy and a quick YouTube shop tour and tests his Gimbel CoolantClear. Jem survives a short production week down a person, rants about builder POs and spirals into late-night Rhino scripting with Cursor. Plus bot orders, prototype hoarding, and the emotional weight of unfinished projects. Also, sea shanties.

    • Dispatch is a mess, need a LEAN makeover, how much do I own other people's jobs, fuck it I'll just do it myself, max capacity yet still no money left, brain overwhelm and other stories. ꘎

    All hoarding is emotional... But the real weight on me is the hoarding of my own unfinished projects

    Justin just crushed a record sale. Jem is actively avoiding his books. Together they navigate code benders, steel headaches, and the beautiful disaster of trying to keep a shop running.
