This episode is brought to you by Basecamp. You're working on a team project via email. When more than a few people or files are added, things fall apart and become a mess. Someone misses a CC update. Another person adds many people to the thread, even though most don't belong.

Not to mention the coworker who starts a new thread about the same thing. Someone would call a meeting to fix the mess and start a new version. Email is great for one-on-one communication but terrible for project management.

Basecamp helps makes it easier to manage projects everyone can do: You start a project, post a description on the message board, and let everyone else catch up.

Messages are posted on the bulletin board. Someone posts a quick question in the chat. When sharing a file, everyone can see the latest version in Basecamp. Communication works.

Basecamp streamlines project collaboration. Basecamp reduces email and meetings. Start a free 30-day trial at basecamp.com/adriantan. You can cancel online without a credit card.

This episode is brought to you by Zencastr. During the pandemic, I considered restarting my podcast after five episodes in 2016. Zoom wasn't ideal for recording the podcast. Intermittent connection issues worsened the sound quality.

Complicated tools are useless. Zencastr is web-based and not downloadable. Zencastr is browser-based, so anyone can use it.Zencastr saved me. It provides crystal clear sounds recorded locally before being pushed to the cloud. You won't have to worry about connection problems affecting audio quality.
