EP22. In this AQB episode, hosts Dave and James "DAARTARR" Sharples tackle subscription fatigue, email management, and (most importantly) James's rant about the modern pronunciation of "data" as "daartarr."Subscription Overload 💸We dive into the reality of subscription creep. Inspired by a viral video where people couldn't accurately list their own subscriptions, James shares his journey of discovery, including the moment he realised he was paying for THREE separate Netflix accounts (Yes, really.)DIY Financial Cleanup 🧹Rather than paying for a subscription management app, we advocate for the old-fashioned approach: spending 10 minutes checking your bank account's direct debits. It's free, it's satisfying, and it might save you hundreds of pounds a year.Email Management Matters 📧The conversation extends to the often-overlooked world of email management. Just like subscriptions, our inboxes can spiral out of control without regular maintenance. We share tips on decluttering and the surprising delight that comes from deleting hundreds of unnecessary emails.The Great 'Data' Debate 🎙️Finally, James launches into a hilariously heated take on how "data" has somehow evolved into "daartarr" in everyday conversation. If you've ever cringed at hearing someone say "daartarr," you're not alone, and you'll love this segment.Finally... we tee up a future episode to explore email marketing and outreach strategies, so make sure to subscribe!Enjoy, with your Quick Brew------
