Am I insane for thinking she was underpaid…? 💸
This is part 2 of 7 of Brett Trembly’s “Behind every legendary CEO is a badass Executive Assistant.” thread.
Since this is a longer thread, I’m breaking it up into a limited “Weekly EA Spotlight” sort of thing across the next few newsletters.
But if you’re impatient, you can click in now to read the full thing.

1 Tech Tip
Use “quotes” to Google something exactly
This week is a non-AI related tech tip that I’ve been using for as long as I can remember.
Sometimes you don’t want Google’s “best guess.” You want to search for an exact phrase, not words scattered across a page.
So, just wrap your search in quotes.
For example:
Searching Vimcal EA might return results with just “Vimcal” or just “EA.”
But searching "Vimcal EA" will only return pages that mention the full phrase, exactly as typed.
Give it a try!
For a refresher on past Tech Tips without digging through your emails, they’re all available in a single post right here.
Thank you for reading!
The CCing my EA Anniversary Survey closes this weekend, so please if fill it out if you get the chance!
I’ll see you next Thursday~
