#17: My Business Tech Stack: The Exact Tools I Pay For (And Why)

Have you ever sat down and audited your subscriptions?

 Do you know exactly what you’re paying for and, more importantly, what’s powering your business?

In this episode of Marketing Minutes, I take you behind the scenes of my current tech stack, the exact subscriptions I use to run my business day to day. These aren’t just tools I’ve heard about or trialed once. These are platforms I’ve been subscribed to and using consistently for the past 12 months or more.

Whether you're building a digital product business, coaching brand, or content-based platform, this episode is packed with insights into how to build a lean, efficient tech stack that supports content, automation, design, and community without getting overwhelmed.

I talk through each subscription I’m actively paying for, what I use it for, and why it’s earned its place in my business. From automation tools like Zapier to design essentials like Canva, video editing in Premiere Pro, and communication tools like ManyChat, I’m breaking it all down.
