My guest today is Shawn Lemon, founder of The Digital Organizer, which helps individuals and businesses master their technology. A teacher at heart, Shawn has seen that the biggest reason people struggle with tech is a lack of understanding—something that's easy to fall into with constantly evolving tools. Shawn and I go way back! We met ten years ago when I joined my first mastermind group. Every Monday morning, four of us gathered for breakfast to brainstorm and tackle each other's new online business challenges. Since then, I've spent a decade hosting this podcast, while Shawn has grown his Digital Organizer business, allowing him to travel with his family and help clients organize their businesses.

So, what does this have to do with making records, you might ask? Well, just as we focus on creating great records in the studio, Shawn can help us focus on how to organize our document records, streamline studio workflows, and discover new ways to stay organized in our music-making process.

A special thank you to John Meese for making our original introduction.

0:35.4	So in Google Chrome, I've got tons of shortcuts.
0:38.2	And so one of the things that I like to do is I don't actually name half the bookmarks that
0:43.6	are in my bookmarks bar because I know what those icons mean.
0:47.1	I know that that's pinnacle.
0:48.4	I know that that's membership.io.
0:50.4	That's quickbooks and whatever.
0:51.9	So why should I have the name?
0:53.9	That means I can fit more on my bookmarks bar. And then I can dedicate more space to things that I actually need to name, which would be different Google Drive folders that I access frequently. Okay. So this is good. Sorry to interrupt. I get excited. So if I have one that says chat GPT and it's the logo and the name, and it's on my bookmarks bar, all I need is the logo.
1:15.3	Right, right click, rename it and delete that name.
