Ever wonder what’s actually running behind the scenes of a creative business? We’re pulling back the curtain. In this episode, we’re breaking down every tool and platform we use to run Goodtype. From our website and course platform to payroll, bookkeeping, email marketing, and everything in between. We’re keeping it real: what we love, what gives us the sweats (hi, Zapier), and how we built a functional system over time without losing our minds.

All that and more when you listen to this episode:

• Why we use Squarespace for our website
• How ThriveCart, Stripe, and PayPal all work together for course sales
• What we landed on to host our courses and The Kernference
• How we use Notion to manage everything, and our A/B/C priority system
• Our all-day-every-day communication hub
• The Adobe Acrobat Spaces features we’re genuinely nerding out over
• What we use to automate and communicate between our different apps
• Our banking setup
• Our email marketing breakdown
• Using DM automations and scheduling tools
• Podcast recording and hosting faves
• Email inbox management using Shift
• Our honest (and very curious) thoughts on AI workflows
