Three need you below, each with a rec already made. Bogotá is the one with a clock on it, they asked for an answer by Thursday.
41 ran on your rules since Friday. One worth knowing: a $9,000 expo ask got the standard pass note. Fee floor.
Kelowna is still unpaid, $27,500. Peyton calls this morning. Nothing else is waiting on you.
This same brief lands as a text at 7:00 every morning. This screen is the receipt. Reply to that text in plain words any time: every reply is feedback, and it learns from it.
Work with BlakeOSAsk anything, add anything, hand it anything
Answers come from your brain, your rules, and your live connections. Sessions save what matters and drop the rest, so it stays sharp instead of bloated. The model is picked for the job — nothing for you to configure.
Today
3 decisions need you today.
Each one arrives with a recommendation already made. Everything else ran on your rules, or is waiting on someone who is not you. And you never have to open this screen: the decisions reach you as a text, you answer in the thread, and this page is the receipt.
Needs youIt asks for a different keynote topic than that week's run, and a new topic needs your call.
EO Bogotá wants to add a fourth stop to the November run.
RecTake it. It chains onto the Quito flight home, costs one extra night, and the run was built for exactly this.

Tasks
One list. Only what is yours.
Everything from your shared note, your texts to BlakeOS, and the desks lands here sorted by whose move it is. You see your lane. Madi runs hers. The rest gets handled and shows up as receipts.
Synced from your shared note with Madi this morning, 6:58a · anything checked in the note auto-completes here.·One way by design: BlakeOS reads the note, never writes it.

Month-to-date is real math, not vibes. Hit a weekly goal and it tells you. Miss a month and the brief brings it up gently, once.
Weeks reset Monday morning. Month-to-date rolls up automatically and lands in your brief. Hover a habit to remove it — no guilt, no history lecture.
When the Mac mini lands (v2): “Madi texted me it’s done” checks itself off, because BlakeOS reads the thread. Until then, a task closes two ways: tap it here, or tell BlakeOS by text. Your note keeps working exactly as it does today.
Notes
Your notebooks. Yours alone.
Name a notebook, throw entries in, date them, find them forever. Everything here feeds your brain so Ask can find it later — except the locked ones. Those are yours and nobody else’s, not even Madi’s.
Keynote ideas
This notebook is locked. Enter your passcode. Only you have it — not Madi, not the team, not us.
Calendar
Both calendars. Already checked.
Yours and the family calendar, read together. Every date decision BlakeOS makes checks here first, and the family calendar always wins. That is a rule, not a promise.
Lands on your Google Calendar — blake@scaling.com, the one calendar — and shows up here and in your brief. Rules check it first: never before 10:30, never over a protected block.

The Rule Set
Every decision shows its rule. Every rule is yours to change.
Thirty-six rules, loaded from your own voice memos on Aug 26 — your words, your numbers, editable any time. When you override one, the rule sharpens. Nothing here is a black box.
Teach itSay it the way you would say it to Madi
Drafted.
Filed with your rules above. It applies from now on, and you can edit or kill it here any time.
Waiting on your OKDrafted from what you asked for — one tap makes it a rule
Scam email filter. Obvious junk never reaches you. Anything uncertain flags to Madi for a look. Nothing ever gets auto-deleted. From your ask this morning: “Can we fix scammers in my email?”
Speaking fees
Quote $25,000, one-off floor $15,000. Batched on a trip (EO chapter runs): floor $10,000. No more $7,500 yeses.
Below the floor, the pass note goes out without asking.
Books included in every fee, every attendee gets one. Non-negotiable.
Virtual is free only with a clear Scaling.com pitch at the end. No pitch, it is a paid keynote.
No weekly cap on the same keynote topic. A new topic in the same week needs you. 60 minutes is a keynote, longer is a workshop and prices up.
Travel
No red eyes, ever. Never Sunday. Home for weekends.
No monthly ceiling — travel is time-batched: never out-home-out on back-to-back days. Multiple keynotes a day beats extra trips.
Direct flights. Delta first, Main Cabin or better for the lounge. Aisle, never middle. Airport 45–60 min early, SLC is an hour out.
Sapphire for personal and paid-speaking travel. Southwest always on the Southwest card, Bre flies free as companion. Business is always Divvy.
Madi and money
Madi decides up to $100 solo.
$100 to $300 lands in the daily brief. Over $300 interrupts same day.
Confirmed Aug 26: “Let’s start at $300.”
Long game: it learns what you like paying for. The thresholds are training wheels.
Calendar
Meetings Monday–Thursday only, 10:30 to 5:00. Nothing before 10:30. Fridays stay open.
Protected, never booked over: heads meeting Monday 12:30, partner meeting, group calls, temple with Bre Fridays 9:00, ministering once a month on a Sunday.
One calendar — blake@scaling.com — is the scripture. Everything lives on it, family included, and family wins.
Bre
Notify, never approve. Every trip reaches Bre with real lead time.
A trip books the house manager for extra coverage, the same minute.
Decisions involving Bre are never answered automatically.
How it reaches you
The brief lands at 7:00. Real time only for people waiting on you: speaking, podcasts, collaborations. Urgency is the brand.
Replies in 5 minutes short, 10 long. Never drop balls. World class. Insane urgency.
Never automatic: anything involving Ben, Bre, Madi or Daniel. Prepped to 95 percent, sent by you.
Podcasts
Never on travel days or out of town. 10:00 to 4:00 Mountain, 15-minute buffer both sides, no stacking.
In-person podcasts get batched into travel, never their own trip.
After every stage
Day after every keynote and podcast: thank the host and loop in Ben Milner for every piece of content. Every single time.
A lead magnet at every keynote, virtual or in person. No exceptions.

Replay from March. Madi asked: “The AV vendor for the Denver keynote came in at $2,800, okay to book?” You said yes, four minutes later.
Should that have needed you at all?
1 of 12 queued from your own history
These are your real past decisions, replayed. Every answer becomes a rule, so the pile above is built from what you actually did, not from an interview.
Every surface takes feedback
Reply to any BlakeOS text. Plain words. “Too many of these” or “wrong call” is enough, it files the lesson.
Edit a draft before approving it. Every correction becomes part of your voice going forward.
Override any decision. The rule that fired sharpens itself, visibly, right here.
Tap fix on anything it handled. Say what was off. The lesson attaches to that rule.
If it ever works differently than you want, saying so IS the fix. Nothing needs a settings menu.
Connections
Plugged into your tools. Not a copy of them.
One sign-in each, read-only wherever the tool allows it. BlakeOS reads what you already use, applies your rules, and writes nothing without one. Unplug anything and it goes dark to that tool instantly.
