DESCRIPT

Hosts The Found Podcast and sends every episode to Apple, Spotify and everywhere else.

libsyn

My right-hand design tool for all the things. Graphics, workbooks, slides...if you’ve seen it from me, it probably started here.

canva

Proposals, contracts, invoices and onboarding in one place. It’s why my clients never have to chase me down.

DUBSADO

My everyday AI assistant. Set it up right and it helps you work faster without losing your voice.

CLAUDE

From the makers of Flodesk. It’s how I built StoryForge, my free content tool, without writing a line of code.

stencil

Where my emails live, including One Big Idea, One Small Action. Pretty templates, no design degree required.

FLODESK

THE TOOLS THAT RUN MY BUSINESS

The platform behind this website. Real design freedom without a developer, and yes, I built this one myself.

SHOWIT

things

my favorite

what's on MY DESK, in MY backpack, AND in my ears

Two mini bluetooth microphones with mic covers

TINY BLUETOOTH MICS

Clip one on, hit record, and your phone sounds like a studio. The easiest upgrade to every video you make.

FAVORITE things

Three bags stacked on top of each other with a lime green background.

NUULY

A rotating closet without the guilt. New-to-me pieces every month, and nothing new taking up space in my actual closet. I LOVE this subscription.

HUMAN DESIGN

I’m a Manifestor, which explains a lot about why I love starting things. Equal parts fascinating and validating.

POPPY & PEONIES BACKPACK

Laptop, notebook, snacks, and whatever else the day throws at me. Pretty enough for a client meeting, tough enough for everything else. (Not my exact backpack. Mine's been discontinued, but this one is very close.)

MARY MAGDALENE REVEALED

A story I thought I knew, told in a way that changed how I see it. Thoughtful, surprising, and one I keep recommending.

FAVORITE books

THE 15 COMMITMENTS OF CONSCIOUS LEADERSHIP

The book that taught me leading others starts with leading yourself. I come back to it every time I catch myself blaming instead of learning.

FOURTH WING

Pure, page-turning fun. Dragons, drama, and the kind of book that keeps you up way past bedtime.

BUILDING A STORY BRAND

The book that made “make your customer the hero” click for me. If your marketing feels like it’s all about you, start here.

ACQUIRED

The full stories behind great companies, told like a novel. Big business lessons I translate back to Main Street. I recommend the Disney, Costco, and Epic/MyChart episodes.

FAVORITE podcasts

ARMCHAIR EXPERT

Long, curious conversations that go places you don’t expect. Especially the Friday Armchair Anonymous episodes...I don't miss an episode.

GREEKING OUT

Greek myths told so well you forget you’re learning anything. (Former English teacher. I can’t help it.) My kids love it on car rides.

GOOD HANG

Like pulling up a chair with funny, smart friends. My feel-good listen when I need a laugh.
