@Pumehana Palmer the first client made my “leap” less of a leap. Now I have a few other clients from prior connections etc.

@Shauna Lindsey I didn’t answer a question fully. I had a role in operations at one point so I knew what I needed for my back office like invoicing tools, payment tools, CRM, BI tool, etc. it was a little bit of tedious work, but knowing what I needed to do was helpful. I do still run into things that I needed on top of what I currently need and I’ll just added into my toolbox as they come.

@Michael Heckmeier Do I agree with this post? Yes, somewhat. The assumption baked into this post is two fold: - we want to chase money even post-AGI - physical goods (like food) cannot be printed by digital bits The first point, all power to you. After a certain level of security for my kids, I do not have a materialistic goal. I do have financial goals, but this is only relevant to me right now as an arbitrary destination so that I am developing and orienting my growth in the right direction. Money as we know it might not be relevant when AGI/ASI hits. Second point, might seem ridiculous to argue. However, I wouldn't throw this out of the equation. Ultra processed foods are pretty much being "printed" as we speak, and it would only be a matter of time until the commoditization of super healthy high end grass-finished wagyu beef (robotic feeding, nurturing, etc.) The "window of opportunity" until these assumptions are overturned is unclear. Years? Decades? Centuries? Millennia? not sure. For me, irrelevant. The direction I have for myself is "chase what money represents" and not "money itself." I think money arbitrarily represents the "amount of thank-yous" you've received from others. The form factor of what people thank each other for will change. 200 years ago, a horse would have been a great gift to get around town. Now, it would be a super costly pet and will be a burden rather than a gift for most. "Info on how to use AI" might be thanked today, but will be considered a scam in a few years (I regard a lot of info products already to be scammy...). We will have to be resourceful and adaptable. Sorry for the long comment again... thoughts?

@Pumehana Palmer I suppose what people garner value from, what people vote with dollars for, will evolve. Thinking out loud... I'm sure some people will choose a robo-PT over a human, but I am also sure that many people will continue to choose a human PT for the human connection. If we think of the role of the physical therapist as "the person that does the right sequence of stretching, pressuring the right points, etc." then, robo-PTs would likely do that more accurately. But the human element of understanding the biological experience of being in physical therapy might be something people pay for. I've been ruminating on the concept of good vs evil a lot these days. Philosophical/Existential topic. No conclusion drawn... All I can say right now is, I will do the best I can, for what I consider good.

@Matthew Shima I agree hahahah struggles are real.

@Matthew Shima @Pumehana Palmer thank you guys learned something new :)

@Pumehana Palmer I thought my phone was running out of battery. Then I noticed it was yours 😂 On a more serious note, I felt this way too many times. Makes me question whether to have any expectation for any outcome at all. But at the end of the day, we just restart. Keep trying until it works out.

@Pumehana Palmer that’s it. Couldn’t have said it better.
