Tools & resources worth your time

Apps, books, and podcasts I actually recommend — not a generic "100 tools" list.

Free templates I use with clients

Template

Content calendar (Notion)

Simple weekly view: pillar, format, caption draft, status. Shared during Brand & Content Lab sessions.

Template

30-day action list (Google Doc)

Priority tasks from Marketing Kickstart — what to fix first, second, third. Yours to keep after session one.

Template

Brand voice one-pager

Tone, words to use / avoid, and 3 example captions. Built live in coaching, not a generic PDF.

Books

Strategy

This Is Marketing — Seth Godin

Short, sharp thinking on positioning and trust. Good for founders who overcomplicate marketing.

Brand

Building a StoryBrand — Donald Miller

Clear framework for messaging: customer as hero, you as guide. Useful for websites and offers.

Content

Everybody Writes — Ann Handley

Practical writing for marketing — emails, posts, landing pages. Less theory, more examples.

Podcasts

Marketing Over Coffee

Short episodes on tactics and trends — easy listening during a walk.
