Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, y'all, welcome to the very first episode of Solve
It with Tech. I'm your host, Lakisha Williams, and I'm
so excited to have you here. Whether you're a leader
of a nonprofit, a social enterprise, founder, or part of
a mission driven business, this podcast is all about simplifying
technology so you can amplify your impact. Now. I know
technology can feel overwhelming, even intimidating at times, but the
(00:24):
truth is, when used effectively, tech isn't just a tool.
It's a game changer. And my goal is to help
you see that and use it to your advantage, no
matter where you are in your journey. So what exactly
is Solve It with Tech? This podcast is your go
to resource for breaking down the complex world of technology
and to bite size actionable steps that are practical and
(00:47):
easy to implement. We'll cover things like how to streamline
your operations and save time using the right tools, real
world tech solutions that have transformed organizations like yours, and
strategies to provide workflows and reduce stress so you can
focus on what really matters making an impact. Each week,
we'll tackle a specific challenge, introduce solutions, and share insights
(01:11):
to help you work smarter, not harder. So why this podcast?
Why me? Who am I? And why am I doing this? Well,
let me tell you a little bit about me. As
a tech operations consultant, I've spent years helping nonprofits, social enterprises,
and mission driven businesses like yours streamline their operations through smart,
tailored tech solutions. I've seen firsthand how the right systems
(01:35):
can transform the way organizations operate, saving them time, money,
and of course energy. But what I've also seen is
how many people are held back by not knowing where
to start. If you're like most nonprofits, social enterprises, or
mission driven organizations, you've probably felt one or all of these.
(01:56):
You're drowning in repetitive tasks that eat up your time
and energy, leaving little room to focus on your mission.
You've tried implementing tech tools before, but they either didn't
work for the way, didn't work in the way that
you expected, or ended up creating more problems than solutions.
You know there is a better, more efficient way to
run your operations, but the sheer number of tools and
(02:18):
systems and advice out there is literally overwhelming. Sound familiar.
So here's the thing I get it. Technology can feel
like a double edged sword. It promises to make life easier,
but without the right guidance, it often does the complete opposite.
And that's where I come in. As a tech operations consultant,
I've spent years working alongside organizations just like yours. I've
(02:41):
seen the struggle firsthand, teams wasting time on manual task
systems that don't talk to each other, and leaders overwhelmed
by trying to do it all. But I've also seen
what happens when you get it right. When you choose
the right tools, set them up properly, and streamline your processes,
information is incredible. Suddenly your team has more time to
(03:04):
focus on the work that truly matters. Decisions get made
faster because the right data is at your fingertips. Stress
levels go down and productivity goes up. And here's the
best part, it doesn't have to be complicated. My mission
with Solved with Tech is to cut through the noise,
break down the overwhelm, and give you straightforward, actionable solutions
(03:24):
that work for your unique needs. I'm not here to
sell you on every new shiny tool. I'm here to
simply help you figure out what works for you and
your mission. So if you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or
unsure about how to make technology work for you, You're in
the right place. I've got the insights, the strategies, and
the real world experience to help you move forward, and
(03:46):
I can't wait to share them with you. So what
can you expect in future episodes? Step by step strategies
for tackling everyday operational challenges, tips for choosing and implementing
the right tech tool, real life case studies from organizations
that have made big changes with small tweaks, and of
course Q and A sessions where I'll answer your tech questions.
(04:10):
