Dyson (the vacuum cleaner, hair straightener and more company) created a $1,000 pair of headphones that include air purification. They claim the headphones are engineered for ‘ultra-low distortion’. Wake me when they come out with bluetooth mood ring glasses that indicates how I’m doing.

In today’s email:

Tech stack: All of the tools I use to run a successful content agency.
Optimized Images: Increase your page load times with this simple and free tool.
Bots: Spotify is working on AI podcast ads, TikTok viral videos are on the decline, Casey Neistat gave a rare look at his process, and more.

What’s in Content Clips tech stack?

Tech Stack: A technology stack, or tech stack, is the collection of tools, platforms, apps, and pieces of software that a company uses to build its products, carry out its business operations, and monitor its performance metrics. A tech stack can also include coding languages.

Hubspot

If you’re not familiar, Content Clips is my short-form video editing agency.

I’m asked all the time about the tools that I use within the business. I figured it might be helpful to lay everything out. If you want a more in-depth look at these tools, I break it down in this week's Digital Podcaster episode.

Website: Squarespace

Intake forms: Typeform

Meetings: Zoom

Payment: Stripe

Client communications: Google Workspace

Internal project management: Trello

Internal communication: Slack

Automations: Zapier

Editing: Descript, Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, and CapCut

Graphics: Canva

TRENDING

Meta was hit with record-breaking $1.3 billion fine over Facebook data transfers to the US. Essentially, Meta has been violating GDPR and exposes EU citizens to privacy violations. Despite this being the largest fine of its kind, experts doubt that it will change anything fundamental about Meta’s privacy practices.

FREE RESOURCE

Compressor

Page loading times have a big effect on websites. If the images on your blog, show notes, etc. aren’t optimized, people might bounce. That’s why I love using this simple and free tool called Compressor.io

AROUND THE WEB

💻 Spotify is reportedly developing AI ads using podcast hosts’ voices.

📉 TikTok’s number of viral videos are on the decline, mainly due to increased content and competition.

📹 Patreon Co-Founder and CEO Jack Conte interviewed filmmaker/vlogger Casey Neistat in-depth about his process last week.

🐶 This pup is living his best life.
