Emily shares her story with us – how she got involved with WordPress, and how that led to interviewing and managing developers.

We talked about starting a paid members-only podcast, as well as how to stay consistence, and what I think it means to respect podcasting:

Did you know that you can use Gravity Forms in WordPress as more than just a form builder? Gravity Forms is one of the most popular form builders on the market, but its full functionality for developers is sometimes underappreciated.

I’m excited to be giving my first talk of the year: Building Your Own Platform as a Creator

As a creator, there are TONS of options out there for you to build and launch your own course, membership, eCommerce store, or community. But what SHOULD you use, and when should you use someone else’s platform instead of building your own.

I had the pleasure of writing a guest piece for Equalize Digital about the importance of having podcast transcripts. And I got to open with a Harry Potter reference:

One of the most frustrating things about the Harry Potter movie series is something that you wouldn’t really know is frustrating if you read the books: the movies do a terrible job at explaining what Horcruxes are, and Tom Riddle’s backstory in general.
