Digital Hoarders and Pedagogy– Podcast Editing Business Edition

When does your editing business invest in new equipment? Is it when productivity lags? Or is it merely a matter of budget? How do you know when it’s REALLY time to replace equipment? And then what determines how much you spend? We help Bryan decide whether to purchase a new Mac computer or stick with his old one. Plus, file storage, video editing, and impostor syndrome!

We support #PodcastersforJustice... and where to donate & what to do:
