  • Scheduling Service

    Calendly

    I could NOT run my business or show without Calendly. No more emails back and forth about scheduling. Their free service is pretty great if you just need it for booking guests. More complexity and options come at an affordable price.

  • Project Management

    Trello

    Here is where I organize the steps to release my own episodes, my clients’ episodes, and even to organize a client launch.
