Meetings kill productivity.

But what if you could replace it with a bot? 👀

And handle your team’s daily check-ins automatically!

That’s exactly what I built with n8n + Discord.

Here’s what it does:

✅ Sends each dev a daily check-in prompt
✅ Collects updates: yesterday’s work, today’s plan, blockers
✅ Summarizes everything with AI
✅ Posts the report in your team channel
✅ Flags anyone who didn’t check in

No wasted meetings.
No chasing updates.
Just clean, automated visibility.

In the video, I show step by step how to:

👉 Connect Discord + Supabase to n8n
👉 Install a custom Discord trigger node
👉 Add ChatGPT for AI-powered summaries
👉 Store and track data with Supabase

By the end, you’ll have a bot that does your daily stand-ups for you.

💡 Would you replace check-in meetings with a bot like this?

One of the most common SaaS mistakes?
 

Trying to build a full product in 30 days with $1,000.

It drives me nuts.

Founders show up expecting a miracle.

They want:
✅️ UX/UI designed
✅️ Frontend and backend built
✅️ APIs integrated
✅️ Fully tested and deployed

All within a month.

For a fraction of what it actually costs.

And it gets worse…

They hire cheap offshore devs who overpromise.

Burn 2–3 weeks building a half-broken system.

Then disappear, leaving behind a mess of a codebase.

Then they come to us:
“Can you fix this? Should only take a week…”

But when I look at the code, it’s unsalvageable.
And they still argue.

“No, no, we don’t need a rebuild... just some fixes.”

So, they go find another dev who repeats the cycle.

And the platform stays broken.

Here’s the truth:
➡️ You can’t shortcut experience.
➡️ You can’t patch a bad foundation.
➡️ You lose way more money trying to “save money.”

🤔 What’s the most unrealistic client expectation you’ve ever seen?

I’m stronger than I thought.

Sometimes life has to remind me — the hard way.

I’ve slept on the street in Brazil.
↳ That’s after losing a house-sitting gig.

Escaped a cartel-related situation.
↳ Where they knew exactly where I lived.

Been broke in India, Ecuador, and Brazil.
↳ With no safety net.

Gotten dangerously sick in the Amazon.
↳ Relying on a barely equipped local hospital.

Lost my income overnight (multiple times)
↳ And rebuilt from scratch.

Before this life, I thought:
“I can’t survive that.”

Now, I know:
I can… because I have.

What I’ve learned:

⟶ Pivot fast when plans fall apart.
⟶ Create income from almost nothing.
⟶ Small gigs, odd jobs, short-term work.
⟶ Trust myself to adapt.
⟶ Even alone and lost in a new place.

It’s more than physical survival.

It’s mental toughness.

Every comeback makes me stronger.

👇 What unexpected strength did traveling or living abroad help you discover in yourself?

#Resilience #MindsetShift #DigitalNomadLife #GrowthThroughAdversity #LifeLessons

Digital nomad life can fool you.

You think you’re living the dream.

But suddenly…

You’re stuck in a tourist trap.
Or holed up in an Airbnb, “grinding” all day.

Meanwhile, the city outside is calling.
And you're too burned out to care.

Here’s how I make it work 👇

🏝️ You don’t go to the beach to work.
↳ That’s a vacation.
↳ When I travel, I don’t pretend I’m on holiday 24/7.
↳ Work time is sacred.

🧠 Mindset first.
↳ I stay focused because my goals actually matter to me.
↳ That’s the difference.
↳ Discipline comes naturally when the outcome matters.

🏠 Design your environment for output.
↳ I don’t rely on cafés or coworking spaces anymore.
↳ I build my own setup — tailored for deep work.
↳ Productivity doesn’t happen by accident.

🗓️ Split your time with intention.
↳ If I’m in a high-stimulation city like Medellín, I timebox hard.
↳ Work first.
↳ Then I explore like a local, not a tourist.

🌍 Avoid the trap.
↳ I’ve met nomads who “lived” in cities for 6 months…
↳ …and never left their Airbnb.
↳ You didn’t live there, you just rented the internet.

Balance isn't easy.
But it’s non-negotiable.

📌 Fellow digital nomads — how do you stay focused while living abroad?

📌 What helps you balance freedom with fulfillment?
