BREAKING UP WITH GOOGLE IS EASIER WITH OTHER PEOPLE
Published On: August 27, 2026Categories: Events, Technology

Maybe you’re curious about leaving Google – Gmail, Workspace, Google Search, Photos, Drive.

There’s plenty of videos to watch and articles to read on the subject, but it might be helpful to talk to people who’ve actually left some of those Google Products!

I left Google Workspace years ago and use Fastmail and Proton. Other people on the call have various stories and new tools that they use.

This isn’t a webinar and there’s no pitch. It’s a group of people who’ve been down this path (or are just starting to think about it) trading real experiences.

IT’S TIME TO RESURRECT YOUR WEBSITE
Published On: August 22, 2026Categories: Events
You might have heard it’s a good idea to have a website, but what’s that even mean in 2026?

In our August call, we covered a lot of ground, and a lot of folks were saying “I got so many ideas from this call” in the chat as we were winding down:
- Forget passive discovery – think of the handful of people you send there from social media, your newsletter, or a conversation!
- Highlight a big thing on your site – lead with your new book, album, offering. Make it super obvious when people visit your site.
- Show what people missed – show photos of your recent get together, talk about conversations you had on your last Zoom call. Give people a taste of what they’re missing out on.
Bring your questions and challenges and bask in the collective energy and wisdom of the group.

CAN ONE WEBSITE HOLD EVERYTHING YOU DO?
Published On: August 20, 2026Categories: Events, Websites

I hear this a lot from creative people – that they do several things, and they’re just not sure how to set up their website to hold everything they do!

Before your buy another domain name, or add another section to your existing website, let’s talk about it!

We’ll discuss homepages, navigation bars, layouts, and making things simple and joyful for your website visitors.

Recent feedback from our Website Resurrection call:

Zoom calls with a bunch of creative people, where I get a few good ideas or things to check out are so much more fun (and usable) than an online course! Whee!

This ain’t a course or a lecture, but we’re seeking the collective energy from the room and each other, discovering new ways to build our corner on the internet.

BREAK UP 💔 WITH SOCIAL MEDIA ESCAPE POD ZOOM CALL
Published On: August 14, 2026Categories: Events

Back to the basics – talking about breaking up with social media!

Can we still get the word out with posting on platforms? Is it possible to grow an email list if we’re not on Instagram? Can we stay in touch with friends and family? Can we exist in this world without having a profile?!?!

I say the answer is yes, and on this call we’ll discuss how we’re getting by without social media, or at least not making it the focus of our daily lives.

Some of us are still on social media, some aren’t – everyone is welcome! This ain’t black and white. This ain’t Fight Club (if this is your first call with us, you have to delete Instagram haha).

If you’re curious about leaving social media, cutting your screen time, or if you’ve already quit and want to share you experience with others, please join us!

MORE CHANCES BEFORE MORE CONTENT
Published On: August 5, 2026Categories: Events, Social Media

From Joshua Heath Scott of JHS Pedals and Art House Grandview:

“I believe I have learned from everything I have made. I have obsessively adjusted my approaches and products. I have improved everything all the time. But it is still math, and the reality is that if you do not put things out there, you have fewer chances. Both are true. In the last twelve months I have released more than a pedal per month while making what I know is some of my best stuff, but I still cannot tell you which of them will be the ones.”

This doesn’t just pertain to guitar pedals, but for how we make our offerings, write our newsletters, book our events, pitch our work, and everything else.
