The morning is dedicated to reviewing scripts for upcoming coaching modules and approving content outlines via WhatsApp. He has a brief sync with his assistant editor around 11 AM to discuss the week's video clip production status. Lunch is usually a quick affair at his desk. The afternoon involves strategic planning, brainstorming new course ideas, and analyzing the performance of recent Instagram Reels. He often participates in a webinar or online course related to business growth or content strategy.
