A mum posted in a PT FB grp last wk seeking advice. Her son finished Cert IV & is signing a gym contract at $350/wk rent, running his own ABN. Responses were solid: exp trainers advised employed roles first, low-rent opts, & not rushing contracts w/o client base. Yet zero replies mentioned speaking to an accountant, GST thresholds, PAYG instalments, or the risk of a big 1st tax bill quarterly instalment hitting same month if nothing set aside after a good yr. That gap btwn finishing a fitness qual & understanding how an ABN works is where many new sole traders get hurt—not just PTs, but tradies, freelancers & allied health too. Pattern is identical. I started as a CPA in public practice w/ sole traders (physios, PTs, small practices), then spent 25yrs building acctg & SMSF software for Aus biz. This gap never closes. So I wrote the 5 common acctg traps for new sole traders in fitness & how to avoid them. Incl Xero/MYOB/Sole/Rounded comparison for bookkeeping setup. If you have an Australian PT, fitness sole trader or allied health clients starting on ABN, feel free to share. Curious if other accountants see this pattern early or only after it becomes a real issue. Link in 1st comment.

The AI assistant handles 20 tasks — scheduling, churn prediction, billing reports, workout generation. All natural language, no menus to dig through. Built for trainers who'd rather coach than do admin.

Lifting heavy weights is proven to work better against depression than any medication And personally I know why I just lifted extremely heavy (for my standards), today was squats and deadlifts (with personal trainer) It's now an hour after and I am mostly unable to think, I am in a state of zen trance silence, there is literally nothing in my brain left Just an empty space and these words flying through If I stop writing this it's just silence and nothignness If I was depressed which I'm not, I wouldn't be able to be depressed right now, because I'm not able to be nothing right now, I barely exist, I just am and that's it It's hard to explain until you do like really heavy (again for my standards) like above 100kg/200lbs and many reps and you don't get the effect below your bodyweight in my experience Which makes it hard to explain this to people starting out lifting because it takes a long time to build up to heavy weight safely and then you really see the mental benefits It's probably similar to runner's high but different? Lifter's high? Anyway go try it!

I recorded myself lifting weights. I fed the video into Gemini 1.5 Pro and asked it to write JSON for each exercise’s name, set count, rep count, weight, and to generate form critiques. Worked perfectly. Hook it up to a camera TTS and you have an AI personal trainer. Wild.

💯 Agree, makes sense. I've been a PM for over a decade and spent YEARS fumbling through creating garbage code like a drunk toddler, but about five months ago I discovered Claude Code and realised: instant superpower. Interestingly, it’s the massive shortening of the communication delay loop—from client to BA to devs to testers to devs and finally to customers—that makes this a superpower.

Vibe coding is the new product management. Training and tuning models is the new coding.

Naval just told 3M people that PMs who can vibe code are the new power players in tech, and most of them don’t realize that’s what he said. “Vibe coding is the new product management” means the person who understands the user problem, frames the right prompt, and evaluates whether the output actually solves it just became the highest-leverage role on every team. 78% of dev teams already use AI-assisted coding. Carnegie Mellon replaced wireframe assignments with vibe-coded prototypes this year. Collins Dictionary named “vibe coding” its 2025 Word of the Year. The entire stack compressed in 12 months. And PMs were built for this compression. One PM at Observe built Salesforce-to-Notion automations with Claude Code that saved his team hours per week. His biggest lesson: AI needs management like a junior employee with zero context. Clear goals, explicit expectations, accountability for outputs. That’s a product manager’s entire job description. The best PMs are already becoming what some companies call “Full-Stack Product Leads” who own everything from user insight to working prototype. The best engineers are becoming “product engineers” who own features end-to-end. Both roles are converging on the same skillset: product judgment plus the ability to ship. A METR study found apps built purely through vibes were 40% more likely to have critical security flaws. The industry calls it the “Vibe Coding Hangover.” Functional zombie apps everywhere, built by people who could prompt but couldn’t evaluate. The gap between someone who can vibe code and someone who can vibe code with product judgment is the gap between a demo and a business. Naval is right. Vibe coding is the new product management. And that means product managers who learn to vibe code own the next decade.

I took Grok 4 for a spin this weekend to build this game prototype. I used SuperGrok Chat to generate the initial game prototype and then brought it over to Cursor to continue coding with Grok 4 MAX. Grok 4 in Cursor is like a no-nonsense agent. Doesn't speak much, but delivers the goods. There were moments where I was rate-limited or stuck on a bug or two that I had to get other models to help, but otherwise it's a fast, reliable model to work with. This makes me incredibly excited for Grok Code to launch in August!

Fantastic to see this partnership between two trusted Australian companies. If your #smsf or #company has transactions occurring on one of the 1000 protocols across 100 chains and need to produce compliant financial statements, there is finally a solution !!!!
