Hello Friends,

This Diva had not one but two unexpected tech “aha!” moments this week; proof that no matter how long we’ve been at it, there’s always something new to learn (and sometimes laugh about). Let’s just say they involved a scanner, a surprise icon, and a little help from a friend.

And speaking of fresh discoveries. This week’s Tech Diva Biz Talks podcast brings you insights from marketing strategist Kendra Corman, who shares how entrepreneurs can harness AI, email marketing, and podcasting to stay ahead of the curve.

Check out the full story inside, and then tell me: what new trick or tool have you discovered lately? Hit reply and let’s talk tech!

Tech and Marketing Tips "Lessons From a Scanner and a Camel"

WkBA3e1

You really can teach an old Diva new tricks! I just discovered that my printer’s scanner can detect and separate individual images when scanning. Before you jump on me with a “we already knew that” or “where have you been?”—let me explain. The truth is, this Diva hasn’t had to lay out a funeral program in a few years, especially one that called for a 3-page photo collage. I last designed my aunt’s in 2023, but this one was a whole new challenge. Let’s just say I’m feeling pretty “diva-proud” of myself right now. HAHAHA

And then came another aha moment. Out of nowhere, a fuchsia-colored camel icon popped up on my Google Drive toolbar. Scared the life out of me! First I restarted Chrome, then my entire computer and finally, it disappeared. Turns out, when you’re viewing a shared Google Doc, random animal icons show up on the toolbar to represent other people reviewing the file.

Did I figure that out on my own? Absolutely not. Shout-out to Stephen Giovanetto, who came to the rescue after I posted my SOS in the group. Thanks, Stephen!

Moral of the story: even seasoned tech divas can stumble into new discoveries. And sometimes the best tips come from asking for help.
