I like making things. Right now, that's Schoolcase, a smart assistant that helps families stay on top of school emails and activities, and Studioworks, an app that helps creatives and freelancers send beautiful invoices and manage their clients.

Here’s a fun thing we made. The Studioworks Library is a collection of free interactive tools and resources for everything from bookkeeping and tax prep to writing tricky client emails. It’s your small business spirit guide. Go play → library.studioworks.app

Thanks for sharing, Emmett! Lowering the bar to creating your own thing (and making it seem less intimidating) is one of the goals. I’d love to see more creatives doing their own thing, but I know it’s not for everyone. We’re trying to help by making simpler tools that make you look (and feel) good.

only @shoptalkshow.com can make an episode about invoicing interesting. Learning about Studioworks makes the thought of starting my own thing seem a lot easier!

Today is launch day! We’ve been working on Studioworks all year, and I think it’s already the best invoicing platform out there, with the lowest fees, most design customizations, and simplest UI. If you’re curious to try it out, here’s a referral link for a free month: studioworks.app/join/chris

If you get an email from Google telling you your Google Workspace subscription is scheduled for cancellation, it’s a lie. They’re just trying to trick you into paying for their AI add-on, Gemini Business.

Indigo Girls at Red Rocks were great as always. Probably their best show in the last few years, and the place was packed with people singing along. We all needed that.
