Allison Sheridan always has a lot to say, so it was tough to pin her down to describe what she considers some of her most important, frequently used apps. With the rules firmly in place, we had a great conversation about what she uses in support of her lifestyle, her podcast, and her life in general. And she doesn’t just stick to computer gear either.
