The Tools & Resources We Love

๐Ÿ“ธ๐ŸŽ™๐Ÿ“น

Photo, Video, and Audio Gear

Sony A6400 Camera

Why we love it: Incredibly powerful for its size and price. We use it for our YouTube videos and love the 4K quality. Flip-up LCD for the win!

Sony 35mm Lens

Why we love it: This lens gives you that sexy depth of field when you want it. This lens isn't the cheapest on the block but it's worth every penny.

Manfrotto Compact Tripod

Why we love it: We own 3 of these and they are SO solid for the money. Especially with our Sony camera or an iPhone, they get the job done.

Switchpod Tripod

Why we love it: A good friend of ours created this handheld minimal tripod and it's wonderful. Great for on the go (packs super small) or on your desk.

Tripod Phone Holder Thing-y

Why we love it: For IG videos or Caroline's overhead painting time-lapses, this phone holder that attaches to a tripod is a genius invention.ย 

Manfrotto PIXI Tripod

Why we love it: Sometimes you just need a really small tripod to hold a random light, microphone, or other accessories. At just $18, this is a steal.

Logitech Blue Sona

Why we love it: A great competitor to the Shure SM7B. After watching tons of comparison videos, we opted to use these dynamic XLR mics for our podcast.ย 

Elgato Wave Boom Arm

Why we love it: You have to mount your fancy recording microphones to something and we chose these boom arms that hide pesky cords well.

Focusrite Vocaster Two

Why we love it: We've tried a bunch of different audio interfaces (things that power mics) over the years and love the design and easy of use of this one.

RODE Smartlav+

Why we love it: Sometimes you don't want to bust out the big microphone and this teensy-tiny lavalier microphone is one we've used time and time again.

Belkin Magsafe iPhone Mount

Why we love it: If you're a Mac + iPhone user, this mount gives you a powerful webcam using your iPhone and the built-in continuity camera feature!

Logitech BRIO 4K Webcam

Why we love it: If you're not a Mac + iPhone user, this 4K webcam is perfect for all those Zoom calls. Just plug and play with this camera.

SanDisk 128GB SD Card

Why we love it: I remember when an 8GB SD Card had a lot of space ๐Ÿ˜…. This 128GB Extreme Pro card is super fast and reliable. We own 4 of them.

Compact SD Card Holder

Why we love it: Stashing your SD cards in the small plastic containers and having them flop about is a thing of the past! Plus, it's $7, you can't beat that.

Electronics Organizer

Why we love it: You can't beat the feeling of zipping this bad boy up after tearing down your video setup and having everything neatly stowed.

Gear and Cord Ties

Why we love it: THANK ME LATER after you buy these and realize how versatile and helpful they are at keeping all your cords bundled neatly. #Nerdsuniteย 

AirPods w/ Wireless Charging

Why we love it: We basically live with our AirPods in our ears (the jury is still out on if that's good or bad ๐Ÿ˜ฌ). After trying the AirPods Pro we actually preferred the previous style AirPods.

Samsung 2TB SSD

Why we love it: Whether it's passing video files back and forth or using Apple's Time Machine backups on our laptops, these SSD hard drives can't be beaten (also, 2TB this small? WOW.)

๐Ÿ—‚ ๐Ÿ“ง ๐Ÿ—“

Core Business Stuff

Kinsta WordPress Hosting

Why we love it: If you have a large e-comm or membership site, Kinsta is the best bang for the buck for WP hosting. If you're just getting started, we'd alternatively recommend Flywheel's WP hosting.

Fathom Analytics

Why we love it: We've been friends with Paul Jarvis over the years and love the simplicity and thoughtfulness they put into analytics. Using Google Analytics sucks, using Fathom does not ๐Ÿ˜‚.

ConvertKit Email Marketing

Why we love it: We recommend ConvertKit more than any other email platform, especially if you don't need all the automation bells and whistles and just want to start building your email list.

Restrict Content Pro (RCP)

Why we love it: We use RCP to run our Wandering Aimfully Membership via WordPress (private pages, access levels, payment subscriptions). Incredibly robust and perfect for WP sites.

AffiliateWP

Why we love it: Our Wandering Aimfully members asked if they could promote our coaching programs to their friends and get a cut, we said YES! AffiliateWP + RCP make that happen.

Transistor.fm Podcast Hosting

Why we love it: Easy to use, simple interface, great customer support, and fantastic features for the price (private podcasting + dynamic ad insertion + landing pages included!)ย 

Beaver Builder Plugin

Why we love it: WordPress designer tools have come A LONG WAY! There are lots to choose from but we picked Beaver Builder and it's ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘.

Teachery Course Platform

Why we love it: Slightly shameless since we own Teachery?? Maybe. But, we truthfully use it for all our courses, so it gets added here!

Interact Quizzes

Why we love it: Our Business Bottleneck quiz has become an instrumental part of growing our email list! We really enjoy using Interact for our quiz.

Zapier Automations

Why we love it: Sometimes you need fancy automations between different biz applications and Zapier makes that magic happen!

Zoom Video (and Webinars)

Why we love it: After trying many live webinar platforms we finally bit the bullet and started using Zoom. It's been flawless and high quality.

Notion

Why we love it: We've tried ALL the productivity apps and we've landed on Notion as our go-to app combining sheets, databases, docs, and more!

Apple Notes

Why we love it: While Caroline has moved completely to Notion, Jason still uses Apple Notes for all writing and brainstorming.

Dropbox

Why we love it: Truthfully, we're a divided household on cloud storage, but I (Jason) wrote these, so you get my choice: Dropbox. ๐Ÿ˜œ

Keynote

Why we love it: Believe it or not, we spend A LOT of time in Keynote. We use it for our monthly coaching, courses, and all social media graphics.

Baremetrics (Stripe Tool)

Why we love it: We use Stripe for payment processing here at Wandering Aimfully and with Teachery. Baremetrics is a MUST have for MRR.

Slack

Why we love it: Everyone probably knows and uses Slack at this point and we're no different. It's great for our Wandering Aimfully community.

Snipper App

Why we love it: Here's a random one! This little app is suuuuper handy for storing snippets of code, canned responses, etc. ๐Ÿค“

Figma

Why we love it: My-oh-my has designing things on the web changed. We recently made the switch from doing interface design in Adobe XD to Figma.

Castmagic

Why we love it: One of the AI tools we've really enjoyed and has helped us get transcripts, short descriptions, and bullet points from our video and audio content.

Screen Studio

Why we love it: Screen recording videos can be a pain to get just right and this handy Mac App is changing that. Super slick, intuitive, and worth the money.

๐Ÿ’ป ๐Ÿช‘๐Ÿ““

Desk Items

16" M1 MacBook Pro

Why we love it: We bothย  ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿฆฐ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿฆฒ use these beasts from Apple and they are essential to our day-to-day lives. Investing in a great laptop is a must.

iPad Pro 12.9"

Why we love it: Caroline absolutely LIVES on the iPad Pro. She also recommends the Apple Folio Keyboard and Apple Pencil highly.

Apple iPhone Upgrade Program

Why we love it: This seemed too good to be true but it's not! We love paying a simple monthly price and always getting the newest iPhones.

Gather Desktop Organizer

Why we love it: I cannot stress enough how much daily joy this minimal walnut desktop organizer brings me โค๏ธ๐Ÿ™Œ.

IKEA BEKANT Motorized Desk

Why we love it: You can't have a desk items list without the desk itself. I've had this motorized standing desk for years and it's SOLID!

Studioneat Panobook Notebook

Why we love it: Every desk needs a good notebook and this one is my FAVORITE! From the dot grid to the softcover, to the wide format, I loooove it.

Electronics Tech Pouch

Why we love it: To say that I despise cables, cords, etc being out on my desk would be an understatement. This tech pouch saves my sanity!

Wireless Charging Pad

Why we love it: Okay,ย technically, this is on my nightstand but you might keep it on your desk. Perfect for newer iPhones and AirPods ๐Ÿ”‹.

Battery Bank

Why we love it: There ARE much cheaper options but we wanted a battery bank that could charge our laptops and this is the go-to for that!

Amazon Kindle

Why we love it: For the past 5 years, I've ended every day by reading on a Kindle. It's an incredible device.

Essential Oils Diffuser

Why we love it: We all enjoy some good smells now and again! Any diffuser is better than no diffuser and our go-to oils are lavender and eucalyptus.ย 

โ˜•๏ธ โ˜•๏ธ โ˜•๏ธ

Coffee Things,ย  Because Coffee

Fellow Stagg Kettle EKG

Why we love it: It's beautiful. You can turn it on with their iPhone app. It holds temp for an hour. Cannot recommend this product enough!!

Fellow Stagg Pour-Over Kit

Why we love it: I used to be a Chemex user but Fellow's pour-over kit works much better in my experience (it can be used in single-serving too!)

Oxo Conical Burr Coffee Grinder

Why we love it: Coffee snobs around the ๐ŸŒŽ will tell you that how you grind your coffee matters. This grinder has treated us well for years.

Hario Scale

Why we love it: You should absolutely own a scale when making coffee. Do you need this specific one? No. But it's the one we own, so... ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ.

Double-Walled Glass Mugs

Why we love it: Double-walled mugs are a must-own to keep your coffee hotter longer. These are a steal at just $13 (for a pair!)

AeroPress Coffee Maker

Why we love it: Whether it's for an afternoon cup of decaf or making great coffee while we travel, the AeroPress does great work. (See also: Prismo)

Prismo AeroPress Espresso Adapter

Why we love it: We aren't espresso fanatics but when we want a shot at home (and don't want to buy an expensive machine), Prismo does the job!

Cat & Cloud Coffee Subscription

Why we love it: Love the story behind Cat & Cloud and their coffee subscription makes it easy to get delicious beans delivered to our doorstep weekly.

Steady State Coffee

Why we love it: Our previous local SoCal coffee spot! Even though we don't live in the States any longer, we still love shouting our old coffee jaunt out โค๏ธ. Give their beans a try!
