Should I quit my job to focus on my apps?

Everyone is very proud of the apps making money, but it’s interesting to hear opinions when I discuss quitting my job at going all-in. My mom seems hesitant but supportive. She really wants Danny and I to live closer to her, but she understands that it’s expensive. Becoming even harder to live nearby if I quit. My dad thinks I need to keep working for bit forget about the money from the apps, putting it away in an investment account. He came around a bit when I mentioned growing into a proper business, partnering with doctors’ offices, and expanding into something larger. My wife also seems a little hesitant, but like always is loving and supporting. I know she wants to move to the west coast, which would be much easier if I continued working, but I genuinely believe this needs to happen via equal parts and contributions. I also think if and when I commit myself full-time to my apps, the potential growth is so much higher than anything my current work situation can provide. Now is the time with AI advancing to capitalize on such an incredible shift. Why let our companies reap all of the benefit? If I were to quit tomorrow, I think the first thing I’d do is make a video, blog post, and newsletter announcing it. I’d lock down content creation and announcement automations throughout platforms. Or would I? I’m not confident I like the content side of things. I see creators grinding Twitter in similar spots as I am MRR-wise. And while they’re growing, I’m keeping up with minimal content. I favor the techniques that automate growth. They scale better. I do think it would be fun exploring content and ideas alongside this health data. I’m sure there’s tons of insights I can extract from my 30 gigs of personal data. Diving in and exploring with Frontier, as well as open source models, nanoclaw automations, etc., excite me and come to mind often. Health.md needs to be agent first. It should be able to query any of my Apple Health data from the command line efficiently. I want to be able to ask my agents, like, how is my sleep this past week when compared to the previous?
