deals & recommendations

Good Stuff

These are products, services, and apps that I use and that I think you’ll appreciate.

In some cases, I’m passing on an exclusive discount code that’s been generated for me by the founder or maker to share with you (hey, I love deals too!). In other cases, I’m linking to a referral program that’ll benefit both of us.

But what’s on this page are products that I regularly use and recommend — and hope you try them too!

The world’s best coffee delivered

MistoBox: $10 off your subscription

I’ve been a happy MistoBox subscriber since 2015. They’ve always provided a great quality selection of beans from around the world, perfectly prepared by the best roasters. Highly recommended!


Cleanshot X's Annotation Tools

The mac’s best screenshotting tool

Use code ‘HASHTAG’ to get 10% off Cleanshot Cloud Pro

CleanShot X has quickly become one of my most used ‘invisible' apps that just fits into my workflow. Whether I'm pointing out some sweet new app feature to a friend, sharing my a screenshot to social media, or capturing a GIF to report a bug, I'm using CleanShot in each of those cases!

get briefed on the most interesting trends before everyone else

As a future-surfer, Glimpse is one of the few emails for which I eagerly await its arrival. It’s packed with clear insights about trends you’re just not going to know about any other way — until everyone else knows about it too.

The best wireless plan for international travelers and families

Google Fi: Get a $20 Fi Credit

I couldn’t be happier leaving AT&T behind, especially once I started traveling extensively. With Google Fi, your plan stays the same, even when roaming internationally. And, my monthly spend is, on average, about $50 less than I was paying before.


I use Brex for my business

I teamed up with Brex to get your 25,000 points, $2,500 AWS Credits, Brex Premium, and 20,000 points with Brex Cash after you spend your first $1,000. I’m a satisfied customer!

Record audio and get instant transcriptions

Otter: Get a free one month premium pass

Otter has been a life saver. I use it to record voice memos, meetings, and almost any other audio content that I want to remember without having to take contemporaneous notes. It’s able to distinguish between different speakers, allows you to highlight key passages, and export text to a number of formats.

Cash back and solid deals

Rakuten: Get $10 after your first purchase

I’ve been a member since 1999, back when it was known as eBates. People complain about not getting paid for their data, but shopping with Rakuten is as close as it comes to that idea.

the Internet's best discount codes, automatically applied

Honey is a great alternative or companion to Rakuten. The internet is full of discount codes waiting to be redeemed, and Honey automates finding and applying them — at checkout. I’m a big fan.

How I prevent myself from starving every week

Sun Basket: $40 credit on your first order

What I love about Sun Basket over competitors like Blue Apron is that they do more of the prep for sauces and offer healthier and leaner options for cleaner eating. Click the button to get a $40 credit to try them out!


Going plant-based is delicious

I use Sun Basket for dinners and Thistle for lunch. I love how fresh, flavorful, and diverse the various lunch-sized salads are. Get $50 off to start your own plant-based journey (although, yes, they do offer meat selections as well!).

Learn about what makes you, you!

23andMe: Get 10% off your kit

According to my genetics, I’m 27.6% British & Irish, 21.5% French & German, and 18.5% Italian! I’d think that with an Italian last name I’d be more Italian than that — but not according to 23andMe. This is but one curious and interesting insight my DNA revealed.

The insiders club for founders

FoundersCard: 3 month complimentary membership

FoundersCard partners with a bunch of companies that I’m already a customer of, and has provided me with access and discounts with leading airlines, rental car programs, transportation services and innovative travel brands.
