FREE GUIDE: My Entire Tech Stack

I am at the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey and some people have asked me what technology and software I use. It starts with what you want to do, for me as a one man band, I had to acquire tools for me to:

  • Create content (images, PDFs, podcast etc.)

  • Collect and send email newsletters

  • Automate scheduling

  • Do video calls

  • Host a podcast

I am pretty certain my tech stack will shift as I build a larger audience and start to create offerings with conversion funnels. In the meantime, as I focus on building a community and delivering value, below are all the software I use with different timestamps so you can see how it has changed over time.
