There's no award for "most automated workflows" or "prettiest welcome guide," but there IS a prize for actually enjoying your business. (The prize is enjoying your business!)

In this episode, I sit down with Fran from The Passions Collective — client experience architect, Notion queen, and the only person who can make me actually care about conditional logic.

Fran's here to tell you that your client experience should support YOU just as much as it supports your clients. We're talking about why doing MORE doesn't make your client experience better, how to figure out what platforms actually work for your brain, and why welcome guides might be the thing secretly sabotaging your process.

TOPICS & TANGENTS

— Availability vs. capacity: they're not the same thing

— Why 40-hour work weeks are bullshit and 15-20 hours might be your sweet spot

— The difference between automations that help and automations that stress you out

— Why you need to ask for feedback even when you think the project was a disaster

— Fran's tech stack breakdown

POINT OF THE STORY

There's no "should" in how you set things up, just what works for your brain, supports your business, and actually helps your clients. Permission granted to make it easier.
