In this episode, Kris and John dig into what's been hard and stretching lately — from December's packed schedules to leveling up the Box Out conference booth, hiring challenges at the print shop, and keeping Momentum's big vision alive through the day-to-day grind.
John shares his obsession with Claude Supermax and how switching to Opus-level AI coding has unlocked a ”Neo in the Matrix” moment — pushing Speaker Deck links, Flipper Expressions, Box Out page views, and Fireside episode duplication all forward in a single week.
Kris recommends Opus (the video tool) for turning landscape podcast footage into vertical social clips.
They wrap up with goals for the new year: John wants to 2-4X his output, while Kris is focused on filling Momentum, growing strategically, and finding better work-life integration.
