🍍 Aloha Friday Scoops From Your Techie Bestie | April 26, 2024


Itʻs Aloha Friday Reader!! 🌺

Iʻve been having conversations with my kiddo on her thoughts on working for a big company and having to chat with so many people throughout her shift. She had a revelation.

"I like people more than I thought"

TikTok Ban

TikTok is in the news because President Biden signed into law a bill that could ban the smartphone app in the US. But maybe you've never used TikTok. Here's the basics and why the app is important.

Creative Market

Have you ever needed something digital for work you are doing but needed more. Like letʻs say while working in Canva you arenʻt getting or seeing what you need to make your design complete?

I like to use Creative Market. Iʻve purchased fonts, graphics, website templates, etc. Fair warning if you love fonts like how I love fonts, you may spend a whole day without realizing it down that rabbit hole. 🤪

I met this weekʻs community bestie a couple of years ago and have loved all the tips sheʻs shared. Being a photographer her eye to detail is like *chefʻs kiss*. In fact I purchased a lightroom preset package I use every week to use on my photos.

Anyway, sheʻs a Instagram queen and I constantly learn from her and you can too.

Find her on the gram. Her favorite place to hang out.

Head over to her website and see all the goodies sheʻs got.

What helps you focus when working?

Sometimes I need ambient music in the background and I realize I work really well when I head to my local coffeehouse.

Iʻve had this or other videos as part of my playlist. So hope this helps.


K, Byeeeeee!

P.S.- Anna & I did a 30 days in April Video challenge a couple years ago and this was one of the videos that still apply to Canva users =)

Think of this email as having your work bestie sharing what they found on social media, in their emails, what tool they used to make the job easier, and community besties that may be of value for their (your) network. Techie Bestie Activate. (*sips coffee*)

Hey Reader, Can I be honest with you for a second? Most of the business owners I work with aren't struggling because they don't have AI tools. They're struggling because none of them are actually working together. You add one app, then another, then another... and somehow the to-do list gets longer. That's not an AI problem. That's a friction problem. And it's exactly what I'm talking about at the AI Exposed Summit — a free, online summit running June 1–5 with 20+ speakers sharing real,...

Bestieeeee, Just a heads up — the Out of Office bundle closes tomorrow, May 22nd, and I'd hate for you to miss it. Quick recap of why I think it's worth your time: It's a free collection of 35+ resources built around one idea: your business should be able to run (at least a little) without you having to be constantly on. Systems, tools, templates, strategies — all from people who actually walk the walk on this stuff. I'm in there with The Funnel Reset™ workbook, which — if you're a new...

Aloha Reader, So I have a little gift situation going on and I didn't want you to miss it. My friend Mona Leboudy — who runs one of the most genuinely no-drama, actually-useful business communities out there — just launched something called the Out of Office... More Grace, Less Grind bundle, and I'm one of 35+ contributors inside. The whole vibe: building a business that doesn't require you to be online and available 24/7. Systems that sell while you sleep, content that doesn't drain you,...
