It's the summer and I just came off a ton of travel, so this episode is a mishmash of things and a little rambly. Strap in! We’ll talk about a contract position I have, plus some new partnerships I’m excited about. Then we’ll move to my summer of travel and how I’m managing the workload before moving onto the main event: 5 tools I’m trying out this summer.  In the pro show, I talk about what I’m using Notion for, more about my new position, Luma, and seeing a therapist.  Show Notes<ul><li><a href="https://arc.net/">Arc Browser</a></li><li><a href="https://voxalyze.com/">Voxalyze </a></li><li><a href="https://audiopen.ai/">AudioPen</a></li><li><a href="https://quillbee.com/">Quillbee</a></li><li><a href="https://www.capsho.com/">Capsho</a></li><li><a href="https://lu.ma">Luma</a></li><li><a href="https://rss.com/">RSS.com</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@JoeCasa">My YouTube Channel</a></li></ul>Sponsored by: <a href="https://howibuilt.it/lulu">Lulu</a> | <a href="https://howibuilt.it/sensei">Sensei</a>

Overwhelmed? Feel like your business can't run for a day without you? You're not alone.

When you're a solo business owner, everything ends up depending on you. You're the only one who can do the work, answer the email, keep the plates spinning. So you're on the hook every day: nights, weekends, even the vacations you do manage to take. The overwhelm never really lifts.

But being a solopreneur doesn't have to mean doing it all yourself. With the right systems, parts of your business can run without you. That's what gets you your time back, and gives you the freedom to take a real break. And the freedom to do the work you actually want instead of the work you feel stuck doing.

Joe Casabona learned this the hard way. He went from so overwhelmed he had a panic attack to taking 4–6 weeks off a year, worry-free, and he's helped hundreds of solopreneurs build systems that give them their time back.

Every week, one clear idea to help you get your time back without hiring a team...or selling your soul to AI. Start listening, then grab the free newsletter at https://streamlinedsolopreneur.com.
