313. The must have tech tools to start a business

Running a business can involve a surprising number of apps, subscriptions and systems. But do you actually need a huge tech stack to get started?

Tash and Emma run through the tools they use across content, podcasts, admin, payments, email, client work and planning. They also explain which features they actually find useful, and why the fanciest option is not always the best one.

In this episode:

💻 The tools Tash and Emma use to create social content, edit videos and build presentations

🎙️ How they record, host and manage podcasts, including the different tools they have tried along the way

📋 Why tools like Trello can help keep projects, partnerships, invoices and content moving without relying on your memory

📅 How shared calendars, booking tools and video calls help them manage growing teams and busy schedules

💳 The simple ways they use accounting and payment software to manage invoices, expenses and getting paid

📧 What they have learned from using different email and newsletter platforms, and why switching tools is not always worth the effort

🤖 How AI tools are starting to fit into their businesses, from research and writing support to meeting notes and client admin

🧠 Why you probably do not need the perfect app, platform or system before you start, especially when most tools can be changed later

The big takeaway? Your business tech stack does not need to be fancy. Start with tools that solve the problems you actually have, then add or change things as the business grows. Spending months comparing software can easily become another way to avoid doing the work that matters.
