The Freelancer's Teabreak

In this episode of The Freelancers Teabreak podcast, I delve into my current tech stack, a popular request from our Facebook and Discord groups. I explore a variety of tools that have been instrumental in my business operations. Starting with Dubsado for onboarding and offboarding clients, Podia for course management, and Discord for community engagement. I mention Sunsama for email management, Speaking Email and Speechify for audio email handling, Slack for team communication, and Notion for overall task management and business organisation.
