Tell us 3-5 tech tools that you swear by that make life & work a little easier. My wacom intuos tablet instead of a mouse, Kiwi to keep all of my Gmail accounts straight, Pandora to provide my daily soundtrack, and Brave browser for almost never seeing a single ad or cookie consent again. What's in your mug/glass/bottle during work hours? Generally water, sometimes apple cinnamon tea. What's in your mug/glass/bottle after hours? Ginger ale with rum. Knowing what you do now, what advice would you give to your younger self? Take care of your body. It's the only one you get, there are no exchanges. Also, recurring revenue is the lifeblood of a business, focus on it. Your LinkedIn Profile Link Your Website Wonder Women Doing Wonderful Things
