Stop using post-it notes to cover your webcams & switch to this little gem that is STILL a sticker, but it has a sliding door to open or close the camera lens on a lot of popular devices, like my Macbook Pro (with the “notch”), iPad and iPhone depending on your screen covers.

A great (cheap) little clock to stick on your desk that can also be a Pomodoro timer or work like one, if you’re into that.

One thing I’ve learned is that we tend to take the full allotment of time that we give ourselves to complete a given task, and if ya give yourself all damn day, it’s gonna take all damn day. 😂 So if you want something that’s quick/easy to set, that’ll beep at ya when the time’s up, and you can see it counting down, this is a great little attractive gadget to put on your desk.

Comes in about 5 different colors & several different shapes too!

It’s a literal, physical deck of 54 cards, each with a language pattern or conversion copy formula with a description and examples for how to put it into practice on your sales copy.

As if that wasn’t cool enough, you also get a digital deck with your purchase, –because James always over-delivers. LOL

This is a really badass tool to have in your toolbox, especially if you’re new to writing copy for your business. 😁

Need a legit crystal clear HD webcam but don’t want to spend a fortune –and you already have an iPhone?

There are TWO really great options & one is FREE! No joke.

This software installs on your iPhone AND your computer allowing you to use your phone’s camera wirelessly or wired as a high-resolution webcam in all the main software you’re already using, including Zoom, Google Meet, Whereby, Descript, Facebook & YouTube streaming, etc. It’s actually WAY better quality than my C920X external webcam –and at least as good as my 2021 M1 Macbook Pro built-in FaceTime camera!

What if you could edit your video content the same way you edit your blog posts? 🤯 With Descript, you can LITERALLY do that!! And now with their new Storyboard features, it’s even easier and you also get a ton of new features with access to “B-Roll” (stock photos & videos, sound effects) & more!!

If you’re a content creator, you CANNOT skip over this seriously badass tool. Film your content, create & edit your transcript, export for YouTube, social media, blog posts, etc & finally create professional video content …without the pro. 😉

ThriveCart does a LOT of things WITHOUT the monthly subscription. For a one-time payment, you get checkout software for digital and physical products, upsell and funnel management, course hosting & management, and a way to build & manage your own affiliate program! Other tools like Kajabi charge more in one year than ThriveCart will cost for a lifetime of use!

I desperately needed to be able to see the overall progress of anything easily and ClickUp handles this WAY better. I can see progress bars or completed task counts for any list, folder, space, or set of tasks, even if they’re not in the same grouping, which makes it much easier (& more accurate) to monitor client progress in their homework without missing important details or questions they have along the way.

I can also keep so much more ClickUp now, including better support ticketing with a ClickUp form embedded on my website for clients to fill out, and of course, my own business task management where automations & recurring tasks play a very important role.

Notifications are also much easier to control as there are a LOT more options to customize so I see what I want and not what I don’t.

Send newsletters, create automations, organize subscribers, embed sign-up forms, create & add popup &/or full-page forms.

FloDesk* is best for beginners or brand new businesses. It has gorgeous email layouts designed to convert, embedded IG feeds, and it’s very easy to use. Use code DAMN50 to get 50% off your subscription for the first year!

ConvertKit is most popular for established businesses. It’s a lot less design-friendly (for a reason) but a lot more robust than FloDesk, yet still easy to use. Use my referral link & use it for free up to 1,000 subscribers!

I’ve been doing LOTS of client calls, recordings, meetings, tutorial videos, guest interviews, coaching calls, –and all things that ideally have better audio quality.

So… the internal mic on my Mac wasn’t cutting it anymore!

This super simple setup makes the sounds A LOT better. It comes with everything you need to set up & use it right out of the box –no software needed. (Add the adapter for Apple’s USB-C though!)*

It’s literally plug-and-play, works with everything you already use to stream, call or record, and your audio will sound lightyears better than it did before –all for less than a $100 bucks.

My favorite way to slowly go deaf while I work. Skeptical at first, –these speakers put out an ASTONISHING sound and the sub kicks out some serious bass. For the money, you really can’t beat this setup. #thankmelater

Need better quality video for client-calls and other business shit? This is a great plug-in-and-go set up. No software required, and my Mac immediately recognizes it. Works seamlessly with everything I use in my business from Loom to Zoom and more.

Paranoid about professional peepers? This cheap addition to my fav HD webcam just clips onto the face of the camera, with a lid that lifts up & out of the way when you want to use the camera & closes when ya don’t.

Want to raise up your computer for a video call without a double chin thing happening? ––Er, I meant, to keep it from getting hot on your desk & for better ergonomic positioning while ya work. 😉 Seriously sturdy, holds my 16” MacBook Pro’s webcam up near eye level no prob.

These are bone conduction earphones. They don’t go in your ear at all so you can hear everything happening around you. Definitely won’t win any sound quality awards, but they’re safer to use when you need to be aware of your surroundings & they have FANTASTIC battery life!

$$$

⭐️ What We Think

Killer sound & full immersion with the noise-canceling feature (which can be turned on OR off!), and decent battery life. With noise cancellation on, I can nearly drown out my husband’s band practice if I need to focus on work while he plays. With it off, I can hear everything around me, on top of the audio I’m playing. These are my FAVORITE earphones!

I have thick hair; a lot of fine strands that want to be wavy but would never hold a curl for more than a few hours. UNTIL this. The air holes set the hair as it curls so it literally lasts until the next wash day. Second-day hair never looked so good! Comes in 2 sizes.

Did I mention I don’t “love” to cook? This wonderful machine toasts, air fries, bakes, convection bakes, and broils. I’ve literally used this for one almost every day for a couple years now: reheating, baking/broiling meats, toasting, air frying, etc. LOVE.

$$$

⭐️ What We Think

I don’t loathe cooking, but I don’t “love” it either. This Instant Pot makes ‘just enough’ of each meal I make in it to have leftovers the next day AND it cooks way faster than the oven or the stove.
