The problem

I wanted my playbooks to teach by doing, not by reading. That meant lessons with real tools inside them, paid access that holds up, and one login across my sites.

Key decisions

1. 01

   Money logic lives on the server

   Monthly, annual and lifetime plans plus guest checkout, fulfilled by Stripe webhooks. A double-purchase guard, and entitlements verified server-side, so access follows the actual subscription or purchase.

2. 02

   Paid content never reaches a free browser

   I caught locked lesson content being sent to every visitor and only hidden in the UI. I moved paid content into server-only modules and rolled the fix out one playbook at a time.

3. 03

   One identity across subdomains

   Password, Google and magic-link sign-in, with one shared session across abiemaxey.com and the portal.

4. 04

   Onboarding that picks the path

   A profile flow recommends the right playbook, progress is saved per user, and the free trial went from 7 to 30 days so people reach value before the paywall.

The problem

Two businesses, one inbox. Brand deals and consults were slipping because the next move lived in my head.

Key decisions

1. 01

   Isolated schema, read-only production

   The CRM lives in its own schema and only reads the production funnel tables, so a CRM bug can never touch live business data.

2. 02

   Pure, tested business rules

   Priority and revenue logic are pure functions with unit tests, shared by the board, the morning brief and the sync.

3. 03

   Agents propose, I approve

   An AI agent drafts replies in my voice and suggests leads from my funnels and from Reddit and Threads. Nothing reaches the board until I approve it in a review queue.

4. 04

   Email history per lead

   Gmail sync stores each lead's thread history in the database, so the agent reads context there instead of re-fetching mail.
