All my favorite things
IN LIFE & BUSINESS
People often ask which courses I’ve taken, which tools & software I use, and which microphone or camera I use to record course lessons or blog posts. I firmly believe in sharing details like that, so now instead of asking me you can check it all out for yourself!

Descript*: best video editing software
⭐️ WHAT WE THINK
What if you could edit your video content the same way you edit your blog posts? 🤯 With Descript, you can LITERALLY do that!! And now with their new Storyboard features, it’s even easier and you also get a ton of new features with access to “B-Roll” (stock photos & videos, sound effects) & more!!
If you’re a content creator, you CANNOT skip over this seriously badass tool. Film your content, create & edit your transcript, export for YouTube, social media, blog posts, etc & finally create professional video content …without the pro. 😉

ClickUp*: my project management app
⭐️ WHAT WE THINK
I desperately needed to be able to see the overall progress of anything easily and ClickUp handles this WAY better. I can see progress bars or completed task counts for any list, folder, space, or set of tasks, even if they’re not in the same grouping, which makes it much easier (& more accurate) to monitor client progress in their homework without missing important details or questions they have along the way.
I can also keep so much more ClickUp now, including better support ticketing with a ClickUp form embedded on my website for clients to fill out, and of course, my own business task management where automations & recurring tasks play a very important role.
Notifications are also much easier to control as there are a LOT more options to customize so I see what I want and not what I don’t.

FloDesk* is best for beginners or brand new businesses. It has gorgeous email layouts designed to convert, embedded IG feeds, and it’s very easy to use. Use code DAMN50 to get 50% off your subscription for the first year!

ConvertKit*: my favorite email marketing platform
⭐️ WHAT WE THINK
Send newsletters, create automations, organize subscribers, embed sign-up forms, create & add popup &/or full-page forms.
ConvertKit is most popular for established businesses. It’s a lot less design-friendly (for a reason) but a lot more robust than FloDesk, yet still easy to use. Use my referral link & use it for free up to 1,000 subscribers!

Dubsado*: my CRM
⭐️ WHAT WE THINK

⭐️ WHAT WE THINK
SK is a truly unique design plugin specifically for Squarespace (v7.1) websites. You can try it totally free with no commitment, and only pay when you want to publish your edits to the live site!
