Which tools and methods does James Hicks recommend for exploring business technology and fintech?

I focus on tools and methods that make technology practical for growing your digital presence, not just “cool gadgets.”

Here’s how I approach it:

• Start with learning platforms and newsletters to follow trends in business tech and fintech (for example, I publish THE Digital Collective Newsletter where I break down tools and strategies in plain language)
• Leverage creator‑friendly tools like Ecamm and similar platforms to experiment with live streaming, content, and automation around your business
• Use curated gear and app lists (like my published recommendations pages) so you are not guessing which mics, cameras, or software stacks to test

What part of business tech or fintech are you most interested in: content creation, automation, analytics, or something else?
