🌴 223.Why I’m Team Apple (Sorry, Not Sorry)

Show Notes

On Friday night, I may have committed a dinner party faux pas… by turning into that person—the one who can’t believe you don’t use Apple products. Over bubbles and red wine with Kirsty Lewis, I launched into an enthusiastic defence of my entire Apple tech stack—why it makes me faster, more efficient, and friction-free in my work as a “media company,” not just a consulting business.

In this episode, I share exactly what Apple gear I use (from iPhone to AirTags), why I swapped my MacBook Pro for a lighter MacBook Air, and the little ecosystem touches—like AirDrop, Handoff, and QuickTime mirroring—that save me hours every week. If you’ve ever wondered how I stay so quick with content creation and client delivery, the secret’s in here.

What I cover:

The iPad-to-MacBook live drawing hack I used at my Project Management Institute workshop
Why tech speed and ease of use are part of my identity
My full Apple gear list (and the apps I can’t live without)
How I use AirPods, Apple Watch, and AirTags in real life—not just for show
Why I think the MacBook Air M1 is the best buy for most creators
My case for seeing yourself as a media company first, and a consultant second
