Michael and Damashe talk about how they are actually using AI to get work done, not just write blog posts. They also dig into first impressions of the Zoom P4 Next, an accessible portable recorder and USB interface.

In this episode, they cover:

• Using GitHub Copilot and Gemini 3 in VS Code for real projects.
• Letting AI help plan features for the Builder tool and solve scheduling headaches like an 8 hour Friendsgiving event.
• When AI is helpful for planning, routes, and admin work, and when it still gets in the way.
• Privacy concerns around feeding financial data and messy spreadsheets into online tools.
• What the Zoom P4 Next is like in the hand, how it compares to the original P4 and Vocaster, and what Mac users should know about routing and Loopback.

In this episode of Technically Working, we sit down with Amanda J. Heal — author, former government lawyer, speaker, coach, and all-around awesome human. This episode is packed with stories about tech, purpose, accessibility, audio production, and the wild evolution of tools blind people used then… and now.

• Amanda’s background, including:

• Growing up totally blind in Australia

• Her 17-year government legal career
• How accessibility tools evolved from cassette tapes and scanners to the tech we use today
• The journey from being laid off to finding her life’s purpose
• Why she wrote her book “Seeing by Vision, Not by Sight”
• Her upcoming audiobook, the recording process, and the decision to hire a narrator

• How blind authors, creators, and coaches build workflows using:

• Ulysses

• Mantis
• Vocaster 2
• Reaper
• Ecamm Live
• Loopback
• The importance of knowing when to stop DIY-ing everything and let someone help
• Video setup tips, lighting, and building a background that tells your story
• Editing challenges and the joy of remembering phantom power exists
• Building online courses, checklists, and systems that keep content creation accessible and stress-free

Title: Seeing by Vision, Not by Sight Tagline: How to discover your life's purpose and put it into action.

Amanda shares the process she used to move from fear and uncertainty to clarity and purpose — and teaches you how to do the same. It’s filled with exercises, reflections, and real client stories.

Available on:

• Amazon
• Apple Books
• Kindle

Audiobook is currently in production.

Amanda is challenging herself to help as many people as possible uncover their purpose — for $25 AUD. (Which is even less in USD.) If you’ve been feeling stuck, curious, or wanting clarity, this is an easy way to get started.
