    I cleared the deck before my vacation!

    I share the behind-the-scenes of my pre-vacation hustle as I prepare for a family trip to Disney World. With a packed to-do list and a hard deadline, I break down how I got everything done—from content creation to client projects—without leaving any loose ends. I dive into the mindset shift that helped me stay focused, the strategic communication that made this week successful, and the importance of planning ahead to ensure a stress-free vacation. Plus, I reflect on the lessons learned and what I’ll take into my future productivity efforts. Tune in for a sneak peek at how I balance work and family, and how you can do the same!

    Why I Deleted Social Media Apps

    I recently attended  Justin Moore's Sponsor Games, and learned something I do is very shocking.  But it's all about leveraging friction to help accomplish your goals.  Learn more by joining my mailing list: https://casabona.org/join

    Automate to Build Relationships

    There is a horrid trend right now. People are using automation and AI to automate humanity out of their processes.  Today, I got a god awful pitch, and it’s not the first garbage pitch I've received this week. I get dozens from supposed professionals helping clients book shows. This one was pitching the wrong podcast.  Look, automation is great. It can help reduce friction, but if you take away all of it, you'll slip and fall. You can't automate relationship building.  If you're using it to skip that, you need to be better. Pitches like this go straight to spam because they show zero effort in understanding my show.  Remember, relationship building is not a numbers game. Use automation to focus on what really matters.

    Why Real Content Still Matters

    After watching a documentary on the making of Wicked and seeing the care put into practical sets, I started thinking about how audiences connect with what's real — whether it's in movies or content. There's an ineffable difference between practical effects and CGI, just like there's a difference between human-created content and AI-generated stuff. Even if people can't articulate why, they know when something is real. And that matters.

    It's an Idea Feast

    After a busy stretch of travel and deep work, I’m back with a fresh round of thoughts—because I’m in an idea feast right now. In this episode, I talk about the cycle of creative output, why I've been thinking a lot about friction (both adding and reducing it), and how that ties into my core message of helping solopreneurs create spacious lives. I also share how I'm experimenting with short-form video creation thanks to a new camera setup and some well-placed automation. Oh, and if you’re wondering what torpedo bats and Ichiro Suzuki have to do with business strategy…you’ll want to give this one a listen.

    What's my "Close" Rate?

    Podcast Episode: Tracking My Close Rate & Improving My Offers Welcome to all the new listeners from Pod News! Thanks for checking out the show. If you ever have feedback, you can always share it at streamlinedfeedback.com. Today, I’m diving into a question my friend Courtney asked me: What’s your close rate? Turns out, I wasn’t tracking it, which is a problem in itself. In this episode, I talk about: How I built a custom CRM in Notion to track leads, prospects, and winsThe different statuses I use to categorize potential clients (including my hard “no” for no-shows)Why tracking my sales timeline is helping me refine my offersThe surprising success of my Podcast Power Hour—and why it might be my best offer yetI also reflect on a key shift in my approach: moving away from trying to fit every lead into a predefined offer and instead focusing on what they actually need. More data = better decisions, and I’m already seeing improvements!

    My Coaching Tech Stack

    I’ve been rethinking my async coaching tools lately, and after much trial and error, I’ve landed on a setup that finally makes sense. In this episode, I share why I’m leaving ClarityFlow (formerly ZipMessage), the friction I encountered with it, and what I’m using instead. Spoiler: Zoom Chat is way more powerful than I expected, and it integrates seamlessly into my existing workflow. I also break down my full coaching tech stack: Zoom Chat for async coaching conversationsTella for high-quality video responsesGoogle Drive for document deliverablesLinks Subscribe to my newsletter: notes.casabona.orgShare your thoughts: streamlinedfeedback.comDisclosure: This episode description was written by ChatGPT.

    This Show is Public Now!

    Welcome to the first public episode of Joe’s Audio Notes! After much deliberation, I’ve decided to make this feed public rather than merging it into Streamlined Solopreneur. Why? Because episode numbers matter to me—a lot. My whole podcasting system relies on pre-determined episode numbers, and adding these voice notes to Streamlined Solopreneur would have messed with that flow. This episode also dives into changes I’ve made to my brand, including renaming podcast workflows to streamlinedpodcaster.com and consolidating my content under casabona.org. I’d love to hear your thoughts! If you were on the private feed, how do you feel about this going public? Let me know at streamlinedfeedback.com.
