The Anti-Tech Tech Episode: When Apps Attack (Your Wallet)
In this tech episode, Amy and Jack ask the big, messy question: Has tech become the frenemy of the modern firm?
We’ve all been there, download now, regret later. You start with one shiny app to fix your workflow… then another to “streamline” things… and suddenly you’re knee-deep in subscriptions, paying $49.99/month to maybe use 10% of what it can do. It's like buying a gym membership for one yoga class and a free water bottle.
Amy and Jack flip the tech-loving script and go full-on devil’s advocate, poking at the paradox: Are we solving problems or just subscribing to them?
Inside this episode:
- The red flags your tech stack is stacking against you
- How to Marie Kondo your apps without crying over cancelled trials
- A step-by-step framework for trimming the fat before adding more automation
- The rise of "apps to manage your apps" (Yes. That’s real. We’re not making it up. We wish we were.)
Plus: Jack confesses how many subscriptions he actually has (hint: it's embarrassingly high), and Amy stages a full blown intervention. So join us on our anti tech-tech adventure.
