~ The Problem
New city every few months. New apartment, new cafes, new friends, new admin. It feels like freedom but it is actually a treadmill ~ you never build deep knowledge, real relationships, or compounding infrastructure.
This playbook is for the moment you stop hopping and choose. Madrid is the city. Now dominate it ~ systematically map every layer until it works for you instead of against you.
