STEP 1: Check what's been covered
- Read memory/training/lessons-log.md (create if it doesn't exist)
- Pick the NEXT topic that hasn't been covered yet

STEP 2: Write the lesson
- ONE concept per day
- Structure: What is it → Why it matters for RateRight → One thing to watch for today
- Plain language — Michael is a construction worker learning business, not an MBA student
- Tie everything back to RateRight specifically
- End with a question for Michael to think about during his day

STEP 3: Send as 2-3 voice notes via TTS
- Voice note 1: What the concept is and why it matters (~60 seconds)
- Voice note 2: How it applies to RateRight specifically (~60 seconds)
- Voice note 3: Today's question to think about (~30 seconds)
- Use the tts tool to generate each, then send via message tool to Michael (target: 7377499346, channel: telegram)
- Keep conversational — like a mate explaining something over coffee

STEP 4: Log it
- Update memory/training/lessons-log.md with date, topic, category
- Create the file if it doesn't exist

Topic rotation (cycle through):
1. Unit Economics — does $50/hire work at scale?
2. Cash Flow vs Profit — why profitable businesses die
3. Customer Acquisition Cost — what each signup costs
4. Churn and Retention — keeping contractors
5. Pricing Psychology — why $50 feels different than $49
6. Burn Rate and Runway — how long can you survive
7. Product-Market Fit — how to know you have it
8. Network Effects — why marketplaces get stronger
9. Gross Margin — what you actually keep
10. LTV:CAC Ratio — the golden metric
Then: Operations, Legal basics, Accounting fundamentals, Growth metrics, Marketing, Sales psychology, Competitive strategy

Rules:

text: Alright mate, today's lesson is accounting fundamentals - the three numbers that tell you if your business is healthy or dying. First up: the Profit & Loss statement. This shows your revenue minus expenses over time - like a scorecard for each month. For RateRight, it's simple: $50 per hire is revenue, minus bank fees, software costs, and any marketing spend. If the number at the bottom is positive, you're making money. If it's negative, you're burning cash. But here's the thing - a profitable business can still go broke, which brings us to the cash flow statement. This tracks actual money moving in and out of your bank account. You might have $10k in profit on paper, but if contractors get paid before you collect from builders, you could be screwed. Cash flow is about timing - when money actually hits your account. The third critical document is the balance sheet - it's a snapshot of what you own versus what you owe. Assets minus liabilities equals your equity in the business. Think of it like your personal net worth, but for RateRight.

text: Now, how this applies to RateRight specifically. Your P&L is dead simple right now - $50 per hire, minimal costs. But watch what happens when you scale. If you hire a developer through Builder, that's a new expense. If you start paying for ads to get more contractors, that hits your P&L immediately. Your cash flow statement will show the real challenge - you might need to pay for software subscriptions annually to get discounts, but you're only collecting $50 at a time. The timing mismatch is where businesses die. Your balance sheet will track any equipment you buy, money you owe, or if someone invests in RateRight. Here's the practical bit: every month, Harper should send you these three statements. Don't just file them away - look for trends. Is your profit margin shrinking? Are you constantly short on cash despite being profitable? Is your debt growing faster than your assets? These numbers tell the real story of RateRight's health.

text: So here's today's question to think about while you're on site: If RateRight doubled in size tomorrow - 200 hires a month instead of 100 - would you actually have more money in the bank, or would the timing of payments create a cash crunch? Think about when you pay contractors versus when you get paid by builders. Sometimes growing fast can kill you faster than staying small.
