What memory cards can you actually trust?
Let’s talk memory cards! The last thing you want is to take some pics, go to load them and realize that the whole card is corrupted. These are the only memory cards that I use and I’ve never had an issue.
Ya know… besides that time that I spilled water on a card.
Thankfully the images were already loaded! Even then, the water damage to the card corrupted one image. I don’t even know how that’s possible.
But at that point the memory card had to go. Good rule of thumb: if you see any corruption on your memory card EVER, throw it away. Don’t even put it back in your camera.
Here are the memory cards I trust…
2 memory card brands that I trust
Lexar Professional
Extreme Disk Pro
There are lots of different speeds of memory cards and if you’re recording video, you’re going to want to make sure that you get something that is fast.

Compact Flash memory cards
This is the type of card that my canon 5d mark iii uses.
Compact Flash — or CF cards — are made for your DSLR camera and it’s that bigger card you see floating around in bts youtube clips.
I like to buy fast memory cards with lots of storage so I’m linking those below (amazon affiliate link for the win btw) but on the page, you can select different storage.
Sandisk Extreme Pro 128GB — fast enough for rapid fire photography and video
Lexar Professional CF 128GB — ditto what I said before… fast enough
SD Memory Cards
This is the type of card that my canon 6d mark ii uses! The canon 5d mark iii also has a spot for one of these if you want to store your images to 2 cards. Super handy in case one card randomly started having trouble and you needed a backup.
Same thing on speed and storage with these cards! We want something fast and with a lot of storage… or at least I do.
Sandisk Extreme Pro SD (300 mb/s) 64 GB —
Lexar Professional SD 64GB — you don’t have to get 300 speed but maaaan that’s fast!
Huge thanks to Sammy over on instagram for asking about memory cards!

Learn the difference between content creation and content marketing, and see how a clear plan helps your small business content lead to real growth.
Working from home as an entrepreneur is two things at once: the freedom everyone pictures, and a quiet trap where work bleeds into every hour because nothing tells it to stop. The freedom is real. So is the trap. The difference is the structure you build around it.
Time management is about the hours: how many you have and what goes in each one. Energy management is about the fuel: how sharp, rested, or depleted you are inside those hours.
CRM stands for customer relationship management, which sounds bigger than it is. For a service business, a CRM is one place that holds every client and inquiry, where each one is in your process, and what happens next.

I know what it looks like on a Tuesday at 7pm when you realize you have not posted and don’t have anything scheduled for the week and now you are scrambling to come up with something that does not feel like a total reach.
We have all been there.
A pillar content strategy gives small business owners a repeatable way to plan content without staring at a blank calendar. Here is how to build yours.
Daily habits are the infrastructure of a good life. They reduce the number of decisions you have to make from scratch each day, which frees up mental energy for the things that actually require your full attention.
A goal without a clear framework tends to stay a wish. SMART goal strategies give you a way to take what you want and turn it into something you can actually work toward, track, and finish. Here is how it works.
Fall on Instagram is something I look forward to every year. The colors, the textures, the whole aesthetic of the season basically does the heavy lifting for you. But even the most gorgeous golden-hour leaf photo still needs a caption that feels like it connects.
Every social media tool has a "best time to post" feature. Most of them say somewhere between 9 and 11 AM on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
What I’ve learned through helping many businesses with their social media is that each business is different. Each audience has different behaviors.

Video is one of the most powerful tools a local business has.
It puts a face to your business, builds trust faster than almost any other format, and helps people feel like they already know you before they ever walk through your door or reach out.
Knowing how to make decisions in business when you are uncertain is one of those skills that nobody really teaches you. You figure out how to market, how to price, how to manage your time. But the mechanics of a hard decision, the kind that keeps you up at night, tend to get left out of most business education.
