Episode Description
In 1998, I got genuinely frustrated with my mom for not knowing how to right-click. I thought technology was just… obvious. It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize it was only obvious to me because I'd grown up with it. Not everyone has that background — and assuming they should is how a lot of solopreneurs end up feeling like their tools are working against them.
That's exactly what tech confidence coach Avital Spivak and I get into in this episode. She works with people who feel chronically behind on technology, and her perspective reframed something I think about a lot: "I have a need" doesn't automatically mean "I need a new tool." More often, it means there's a gap in how you're using what you already have.
We talk about the mental blocks that keep solopreneurs from getting the most out of their tech stack — and how to start thinking about your software and hardware as a team rather than a to-do list of things you're failing at. If your one-person business runs on tools that feel more like chaos than clarity, this one's worth your time.
Getting your tech stack right is one of the fastest ways to work less and still keep everything moving — and it starts with knowing what you actually need.
