This week on Tech Tools for Teachers podcast (Episode 207), we're shining the spotlight on SchoolAI.com, a helpful AI platform that's quickly becoming a new favorite at all grade levels! It's also a helpful tool to save you some time as we head into the end of the year chaos!

When Rep. Bryan Cohn decided to challenge an incumbent in 2024, he executed a plan that was based on old school politics combined with new tech tools.  By the time election night rolled in, he knew he was in an excellent position to win the seat.  The Oxford Democrat also talks about the uniqueness of his swing district, including a violent civil rights history documented in the book/movie Blood Done Sign My Name.    Skye and Brian also break down Governor Stein's State of the State Address, the Speaker's response, action on key bills in the General Assembly, #TOTW, and more. The Do Politics Better podcast is sponsored by New Frame, the NC Travel Industry Association, the NC Beer & Wine Wholesalers Association, the NC Pork Council, and the NC Healthcare Association.

What if I told you there's a way to make consistent cash flow from the stock market without spending all day glued to your computer screen? Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, it's not — and in this week's Happy Hustle Podcast episode, we're diving deep into exactly how you can do it!I had the pleasure of bringing back one of our guest gurus from The Happy Hustle Club, with Jeremy Newsome. Jeremy is a life hacker, entrepreneur, endurance athlete, and a total rockstar in the stock market space. His specialty? Teaching everyday people (like you and me) how to generate consistent cash flow through covered calls and smart stock market strategies. And trust me — this episode is PACKED with gold.So if you've ever thought, “Man, I wish I could make my money work for me,” this episode is for YOU.Jeremy dropped a major truth bomb in our conversation: Most people think the stock market is just for long-term investing, but very few understand how to generate consistent cash flow from it. This is where the game changes, my friends.The strategy Jeremy talked about is called covered calls — a way to get paid every single week just for owning a stock. Imagine making $500, $1,000, or even $5,000 per month in passive income from your stocks. Sounds like a Happy Hustler's dream, right?One of the most powerful things Jeremy said was this: “The skill of trading is something that, once you learn it, you have it forever.”Think about it. If you spent 50-100 hours learning how to make $500-$5,000 a month through covered calls, that's a skill you can monetize for LIFE.It's like learning how to ride a bike or start a business. Once you've got it down, it's yours to keep.And if you're thinking, “I don't have time to learn all that,” let me remind you — you're already investing your time in social media, Netflix, and endless scrolling. Why not spend some of that time learning a high-income skill that could change your financial future?Jeremy has personally helped countless people build six- and seven-figure portfolios, and his strategies are ridiculously simple when you break them down.The stock market doesn't have to be scary. It doesn't have to be a rollercoaster of emotions. With the right education and strategy, you can create consistent cash flow that supports your dream life.And if you're ready to dive deeper, I highly recommend checking out the full episode. This dude is the real deal and breaks down the stock market in a way that anyone can understand.It's time to take control of your financial future. Learn the skill. Build the cash flow. And go live that freedom lifestyle you've been dreaming about.Connect with Jerremyhttps://www.instagram.com/jerremynewsome/https://www.facebook.com/jerremyalexandernewsome/https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerremynewsomehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPPNysg5PvYuJjkp8q7RxOQhttps://twitter.com/newsomenuggetsFind Jerremy on his website: jerremynewsome.com reallifetrading.comConnect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featuredGet a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Course https://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventure https://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsor: Magnesium Breakthrough from BiOptimizers https://bioptimizers.com/happyIf you've been on a restricted diet lately or maybe even taken some meds to shed those pounds for the summer, I gotta warn ya—be careful!

Which task management and marketing strategy tools should you use? Spoiler alert—it's not as simple as picking the most popular software. Susan and Lany dive into the importance of discernment when selecting tools, sharing real-world experiences of software frustration, integration challenges, and team buy-in struggles. They emphasize the need to evaluate your team's workflow, test software with real scenarios, and demand proper support before making a costly commitment. They explore why businesses often waste time and money on tools that don't fit—and how you can avoid making the same mistake. If you've ever been frustrated with tools you chose in a rush, including ClickUp, Asana, Monday, or any other platform, this episode is for you. And tell us—what software works for you, and how did you decide? Maybe we'll feature your success story in a future episode! BIG TAKEAWAY - the best tools are the ones your team will actually use. Your Tech Tool Selection Checklist ✅ Assess Your Needs First Identify the specific problems you're trying to solve. List the must-have and nice-to-have features. Consider how many people will use the tool and their technical comfort level. ✅ Understand Your Workflow Map out your team's daily tasks and processes before selecting a tool. Identify which departments or roles will need access. Determine if you'll need client access or external collaboration features. ✅ Check for Scalability Will this tool grow with your business? Does it support additional users, automations, and integrations as you scale? Does it work across devices (desktop, mobile, tablet)? ✅ Demo and Test Before Committing Sign up for free trials and load real projects into the system. Get feedback from your team on usability. Request a live demo from the company and ask tough questions about features and limitations. ✅ Read Reviews & Compare Support Check user reviews on G2, Capterra, or Trustpilot for pros/cons. Look for YouTube tutorials and real-world use cases. Investigate customer support availability—do they offer live chat, phone support, or only email? Find out if you'll have to pay for support separately. ✅ Evaluate Integration & Compatibility Ensure the tool integrates with your existing software stack (CRM, email marketing, accounting, etc.). Check Zapier, Make, or native API capabilities if integration is needed. Ask: Will this create extra manual work or streamline processes? ✅ Plan for Onboarding & Training Will your team actually use it, or will they resist? Look for built-in tutorials and learning resources from the software provider. Create internal training videos & SOPs to ease adoption. ✅ Budget Beyond Subscription Costs Factor in costs for setup, training, integrations, and ongoing support. Beware of hidden fees (e.g., per-user pricing, premium support, add-ons). If switching from another tool, budget for migration costs and downtime. ✅ Make a Decision—Then Reevaluate Choose the best-fit option based on functionality, ease of use, and ROI. Reevaluate in 3-6 months to ensure adoption and effectiveness. Be willing to pivot if the tool isn't delivering as expected.
