In this week’s episode of Engage And Thrive (also known as EAT With Taelon), I’m challenging the belief that piling on more software and tools in your tech stack makes your business more efficient. In reality, it often creates confusion. It slows everything down. It costs far more than it should.

I dive into subscription creep. I explore the hassle of integrations that don’t quite deliver. I discuss the wasted hours teams spend switching between platforms that all promise to do the same thing. True efficiency doesn’t come from a bloated stack. It comes from simplicity and choosing tools that actually work together to support your goals.

As someone who loves experimenting with new tools and exploring what AI can offer, I know how tempting it is to keep adding more. But the truth is that bigger is not always better. A lean, streamlined tech stack will always drive more impact than an overloaded one.

Got a myth to bust? Send it my way!⁠⁠⁠
