ActiveCampaign

If you’ve gotten an email from me it probably came from ActiveCampaign. This is the top when it comes to email marketing and automation. Their system allows you to automate so many actions based on different events or triggers (when an action takes place). A must for serious emailers running a podcast or website. Comes with a built-in CRM.

Adobe Audition

Adobe Audition comes with the Adobe Creative Suite. It is used by podcasters and moviemakers. It can be intimidating at the start but once you get used to it, it has a lot of powerful tools such as removing noise, adding effects, and managing your multitrack sessions. A bit more complex/complicated than Descript, but super powerful for professional projects.

Artlist

Artlist is incredible for sourcing music (that you are allowed to use on your show, see their terms). This is where I found the intro and outro music for the podcast. It will level up your production value immediately.

auphonic

Auphonic

Auphonic is an excellent tool for rescuing bad recordings and ensuring your final mix is up to Radio Standards. I use this to “clean up” the final mix from Adobe Audition to ensure the vocal and music tracks have the same loudness so my listener gets what they expect when they put the volume to a certain level.

Canva

Creating any kind of social media post for your business or podcast has never been easier with Canva. It’s most useful for speed AND for anyone who wishes they could make cool marketing posts but are terrified of using Adobe Photoshop.

Headliner almost does it all when it comes to creating marketing material for your show. I use this to create audiograms (Square, Wide, and Story format) and it also transcribes your media (at no additional charge).

Supreme Gym Megabar

Megabar

I’ve gone through quite a few pull-up bars in my day. Megabar will be the last one you ever have to buy. It’s robust and detaches to become a stand-alone workout bar that you can add standard plates to. And it comes with a set of rings!

Pipedrive CRM

Pipedrive

Pipedrive changed the game for me. I used Salesforce for a long time; it was expensive and did not “work for me”. Pipedrive is clean, efficient and loaded with automation, and easy to customize. The phone app works great and is a seamless experience from the browser application.
