Be jealous of the process. Not the result.

Welcome to my Public Journal. Here, I share the journey of building a company, my thoughts on life, and the random things I find useful.
Why are you getting this? Because at some point, our paths crossed. This is my way of staying in touch.
Let’s get into the updates!
Flowline Health
Remember the deal I wrote about in the last newsletter? It closed!
And now comes implementation. Andrew and I have been heads down, and I think I’m starting to speak more words to voice agents than people during the week.
It’s actually a very beautiful thing. In July, I was lying on my carpet at 2 PM, trying to control my breathing: it felt like no matter how hard I tried, I would never land a customer.
And we’re not selling hotcakes yet, but having too much work was the problem I’m looking for.
It’s a slog for sure, but this is the mentality I’ve been trying to take.
99% of days, I’m the man on the sunny side of the bus.
Story of the Week
After the whistle it was chaos. Bodies flew, sand was everywhere.
But then I saw it. My lane!
I felt my legs churning. Ten more yards and I was free.
And then “TAG! Sorry Gabe, I got you.”
As the push sent me rolling in the sand. I never thought I could feel so alive by a game of Sharks and Minnows.
When was the last time you played? Like, really played?
Our good friend (and new gabemamallo.com subscriber) Christine Broda threw “The Gauntlet - a test of brains, brawn, and agility!” this weekend.
As I was playing musical spoons, limbo, and sprinting through the sand, it made me realize how much I missed play.
Not play just to be rested and work more, but truly just play.
Thought Bug
I once again stole this from an intellectual role model: Shaan Puri.
“Everybody looks at the result that somebody has, and they get jealous. But you don’t really know what it takes to be that, to get that, to have that.
If you’re going to be jealous… redirect it. Get envious of people whose inputs you’re jealous of — their day-to-day, the work that they do.
If you’re like, man, I would love for my day to look like that. I would love to work like that. Not the results of the work, but the work itself, then you know what you should do.”
If you were told that the man in the Lamborghini got 4.5 hours of sleep every night, was on his third wife, and barely spoke to his kids…
Would you still want the Lamborghini?
Thanks for sticking around! If you enjoyed this one, feel free to give me a like or comment so the algorithm knows what’s up :)




Love reading these every week and seeing the progress from a very personal/authentic lens. Excited to test out your cheat code for getting a Lamborghini
