Ep: 75 - Timeless Business Tools and Tech: From Cash Registers to AI-Driven Kitchens
from Mixing Family and Business Podcast · host Brian, Tom Hahn - Kim Chapman
On this week’s episode of Mixing Family and Business Podcast we chat about the old-school business habits and tools we just can’t quit, stuff like paper notebooks, showing up on time, and honestly, cash registers still do the job! There’s something about jotting down a list with pen and paper that keeps my day on track, even with all the tech out there. You’ll hear some funny throwbacks and real talk on why some habits just work, no matter how many gadgets hit the market. We also dive into the tech we didn’t trust at first but now can’t imagine living without, yep, I’m looking at you, QuickBooks and email portals. Plus, there’s a little advice for anyone who feels overwhelmed with all the new tools: just pick one or two and get comfortable, you don’t need to be a tech wizard overnight. I even share one of my “magic moments,” like printing a doc from my couch straight to the Dairy Queen office, seriously, how cool is that? So if you want practical tips, some relatable laughs, and a look at how business is changing (but still kinda the same), hit play and join the conversation with us!
