Episode 161: Let's Talk About Tech Stacks
Episode Summary
In this episode, I walk you through what my tech stack actually looks like and then flip the conversation on its head. Instead of listing every tool I use, I talk about why you probably don’t need half the tools you think you do. I share how I manage my business simply, why I don’t use popular project management platforms like Notion or ClickUp, and how your tech decisions should reflect your brain and your values, not what’s trending online. I also share a few life updates, including my upcoming birthday sale, how writing class is stretching me creatively, and why I’ve been building Lego flower sets in my office.
