Howdy Reader! How many apps do you pay for every month that you could build yourself this weekend? Joe Casabona has been finding out. He just built his own testimonial tool, a teleprompter app, and a Stream Deck plugin with AI. But he also has a short list of tools he will never replace, and a four-question test for deciding which side of that list a tool belongs on.

He started the Birmingham Podcasters Collective, put on a Podcast Summit at Innovation Depot, and hosts a weekly show about the people moving Birmingham forward.

Howdy Reader! In July, Marielou Mandl shipped more than nine client videos, did on-site production, and got engaged. She still felt like she had done nothing. It wasn't that she hadn't worked. It was that none of the work was hers. Client work comes with a deadline and someone waiting on it, and her own channel came with neither, so it got put on the back burner every time.
