## Reflections

June was one of those months where everything clicks. The podcast landing page looks professional and is already converting visitors to subscribers. The sponsor CRM might be the most impactful internal tool we've built — no more "where's that sponsor contract?" emails. [[person-matteo-cellini]] went from managing sponsors in his head to having a proper pipeline view.

The editor hire is already paying off. She catches things I'd miss after staring at my own words for hours. The Monday morning routine of reviewing a clean draft instead of starting from a rough mess is a genuine quality-of-life improvement. My writing quality is actually better because I can focus on substance rather than mechanics.

Training is going well. The two back-to-back long rides (140 km + 120 km over a weekend) left me wrecked but confident. If I can do that in Tuscany's hills, the Dolomites are within reach. Bring on July.
