If my kids ever ask me what the 90s were like, I will just show them this video:

But compared to the alternative—stuff not getting done at all because I had to rush out the door—it’s a game-changer.
This is hands-down my favorite kind of automation: the “can’t forget” task. It takes the mental load off and makes sure nothing slips through the cracks.

In this video, I’ll show you how I used Zapier to connect YouTube and WordPress, so every time I post a new video, it automatically creates a new blog post with the embed already in place.

Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz’s betting charges are the latest in a long list of reasons (like death threats to players AND their families) why prop bets are bad for everyone.
