What happens when you give yourself a hard constraint — build something, only while riding a chairlift, only on your phone, done by the time you press the button to start the car?
That's exactly what Patrick did two weeks ago at Ski Liberty in Pennsylvania. And it worked.
This episode is less of a how-to and more of a provocation. Patrick walks through the ski lift build — a LinkedIn activity tracker and lightweight CRM — and makes the case that the biggest thing standing between you and building something is the story you're telling yourself about needing more time, more prep, and more perfect conditions.
What's covered:
- The LinkedIn VA reporting problem that sparked the idea
- How a bathroom stall at a ski resort became the starting point for the first prompt
- Why tools like Lovable, Whisper Flow, and Claude are changing what's possible in short windows
- The difference between a good idea and a working thing — and why starting is the only bridge
- Why interstitial minutes (car rides, pickup lines, treadmills) are where the reps actually happen
- What Builder Fridays and Baltimore Creators are really about
This one is short by design. Go listen. Then go build something.
