I know, I know … “tech stack” is not a sexy topic.
But it is one of the biggest reasons agencies feel overwhelmed, scattered, and harder to run than they need to be.
In this episode, I’m breaking down how we think about tech inside our agency - and why we deliberately choose a boring, low-tech, low-noise stack, even as we scale.
This isn’t a list of tools you should copy.It’s a way of thinking about tech that reduces chaos instead of adding to it.
In this episode, we talk about:
Why more tools usually create more friction, not efficiency
The trade-offs we intentionally make to keep things simple
The rules we use to decide what stays and what goes
Why systems matter more than software
The hidden cost of over-engineering your agency
I also share:
How we separate communication from task execution
The non-negotiable rules we run our tools by
How we avoid double-handling work
What actually needs to be automated — and what doesn’t
Why boring tech creates more freedom, not less
This episode is for agency owners who:
feel like their tools are running them
want fewer subscriptions, fewer logins, fewer decisions
are ready to simplify without dumbing things down
If you’ve been adding tools hoping things would feel easier, this episode will help you pause, reassess, and design a tech stack that actually supports your business (and your life).
If you want to talk through simplifying your systems or tightening your operations, you can book a free consult with me and walk away with a clear next step.
