“They would be able to see all my public events like any other calendar, any other person in my team would be able to see. And then because Polly, she's my EA, I'm going to share edit access with my calendar so she can drop things on my calendar or remove them or move them around.”

Transcript context
…Okay. And then another tip I've heard that I used was to create its own Gmail account, its own local account. Talk about that. Yeah. So it's definitely going to need its own local account on your computer. And honestly, to make it useful, it sounds scary. It's got to be an admin account. You got to let it run on your computer. So you would set it up at its own local admin account. And then going back to what I was using it for, personal assistant, executive assistant. And I have had as an executive, executive assistant, so I know how to onboard them. And you don't onboard your EA by giving the password to your email account. You don't do that.

And then because Polly, she's my EA, I'm going to share edit access with my calendar so she can drop things on my calendar or remove them or move them around. And so I do think if I had to onboard an employee to my business or if I had to onboard a household manager into my family, what would I give them? And it's not the password to your email address, is a really good mental model. And then the other thing that I think is really useful is you will be sharing, logging into things, sharing API keys. And so I find some way to get passwords onto that new computer in a secure way. I used one password, ended up just being an easy way to get things back and forth from my main laptop onto this Mac Mini. Talk about why you should not install this on your local computer, which is kind of what the site recommends, is just like, here, copy and paste, install it locally.…
