Quick one: I've finally opened Dough Sorter to everyone. It's the app I built that stops you having to do your receipts in a panic every end of financial year. There is a no credit card free 7-day trial. As a member here if you reach level 2 you can grab 50% off your first year. Level 2 only requires you to get 5 points by posting in the group and you can hit it with 5 minutes of work. Respond to a couple of posts, add your own, tell us what you are up to so we can respond to you to get you there. There is a classroom lesson containing the discount. And later this month I'm running Sort Your Dough, a free 5-day challenge to catch up on this financial year's receipts. More on that soon. doughsprter.app to check it out

Have jumped out of coffee hour to take a business call. Probs won't get back in again this hour.

I have recently, in the last few days, fallen down a bit of a rabbit hole with AI, looking to see how I can use the tool to help me as a producer. In testing a new AI tool, I thought, "Well, what's something I know that freelancers need?" and so I built a little invoicing tool. That actually came out really well, so I did some more development on it, and now it's actually a full-on app. You can track invoices and receipts. It's got automated reminders to follow up on invoices that are overdue, and you can automate a nudge for yourself to be reminded to actually process your receipts. There's a mini CRM in it so that you can keep your records, your clients, and your items that you charge for regularly. It also does gig connections, so you can assign an invoice to a specific gig and receipts and expenses to the same gig, so you can get a mini P&L overview for your gigs. So crazy how efficient and useful the AI tools are in building and stepping you through the process. There was so much to the backend setup of this that I had no idea about. That was just so enlightening. Anyway, if you want to check it out, this is the app. www.doughsorter.app

A few shots from my show Blackbeard's Treasure. We had someone illustrate a bunch of aspects of the show for projection and it's really come together so well. These simple hand-drawn images that are based on the actual physical items and clues that the characters find just create a real seamless connection between them. What are you producing right now?
