Webflow
I simply love Webflow! Why didn't I use it sooner? I designed this entire website with Webflow. You can design a website without code but still have the freedom to customize it the way you want. Plus, Webflow's help tutorials are phenomenal!
Hostinger
Hostinger is my choice when it comes to web hosting. Not only are its servers one of the most fastest and reliable, their customer support is world class.
Drip
For email marketing, I've been using Drip since 2018. They are one of the more advanced platforms so if you're starting out, I recommend ConvertKit instead as the interface is easier to use and includes a landing page builder. ConvertKit is also free for the first 1000 subscribers you build.
ThriveCart
For my shopping cart/product sales system, I use ThriveCart. They currently offer lifetime access so you only need to pay once instead of a pricey monthly/yearly subscription for equivalent cart systems. You can embed checkout forms anywhere, offer an affiliate program, do one-click upsells, create subscriptions, and more.
Thinkific
To host my online courses, I use Thinkific. No need to mess around with code or plugins. Simply drag and drop your course material, setup your prices, landing page, and you're done. It's free for the first course you host and you can have unlimited students. Try Thinkific here.
ConvertBox
Used for popups, alert bars, and opt-in forms. I joined as a lifetime member when they first launched and appreciate the updates the team at ConvertBox are making.
Beacons
Beacons allows you to create a "link in bio" page for social media. What's great is you can sell digital products, setup a store, link to affiliate products and more all on one platform. Get a $20 credit towards a Beacons Pro account using my link here.
Rebrandly
To shorten, track, and have brand links, I use Rebrandly.
Notion
I organize all my notes, projects, content calendars, goals, reading lists, and ideas on Notion.
Things
For to-do's and task management, I use Things as it's minimal, intuitive and works on all my Apple devices.
Google Drive
My team and I use Google Drive to store, sync, and backup our files.
Day One
For journaling and reflecting. Recently I started a journaling habit which I've found to help with starting the day positively and ending the day with reflection. Specifically, I use the 5-minute journaling template that Day One provides. Here's a video on how I use it.
Minimalist Pomodoro Timer
This is the cleanest Pomodoro timer I use that's pleasing to the eyes. It helps with breaking your day into bite-sized chunks as it features the ability to add two countdown timers. I use the first for my main focus period of 25 minutes and the second for my 5-minute breaks.
Canva
I use Canva to design almost everything from ebooks and guides to social media graphics, it's all done on Canva.
Designrr
An easy to use eBook maker with dozens of eBook templates to choose from. Watch my tutorial and check out the bonus I'm offering in the description of the video.
Adobe Creative Cloud
Out of all the Adobe apps, I use Photoshop (graphics editing), Lightroom (photo enhancement), and Premier Pro (video editing). Most of my YouTube Thumbnails are designed in Photoshop.
Flaticon
Where I get all my icons for use on thumbnails, videos and other assets. I have a paid plan with them so no crediting is required.

2020-2021 SETUP
Canon M50 and Sigma 16mm f/1.4. This is a great combo for under $1000. I recorded over 100 videos with this. The video above showing my studio tour is based on this setup.

RODE Procaster
The main microphone I use for screen recordings.
RODE NTG5
For videos where I'm not showing my screen, I have the RODE NTG5 above and out of frame which connects via XLR to a Zoom H5 audio recorder. I find audio to be higher quality recording on an external record like the Zoom H5.
Zoom H5
From the RODE NTG5, I record directly into the Zoom H5.
Focusrite Scarlett Solo USB interface
To connect the RODE Procaster to your computer, you need a USB interface like this. The link is for the latest model as I have an older model.
Rode Wireless GO II
Whenever I need to record a video where I'm not always stationary at my desk, I connect this to my camera. Most suitable if you're doing something like moving around the room or vlogging hence the name "Wireless GO". I also connect a Rode Lavalier mic to the Wireless GO II receiver for better quality audio.
Screenflow
For screen tutorials, Screenflow has been my go-to app for many years. Although it is a MacOS-only app, you can use other tools such as Camtasia or Loom.

Talking head videos are edited, color corrected, and graded in Premier Pro.
InShot
For editing on mobile, I use InShot. It's mainly used for short form videos such as IG Reels and TikToks.
Epidemic Sound
For background music and sound effects, I always turn to Epidemic Sound first.
Rev
Video captioning and subtitling service.
