Have questions about WordPress, Online Courses, or Public Speaking?
What do I do?
The short answer is write code, develop courses, and podcast.
The slightly more elaborate answer is make WordPress themes and plugins, develop online courses, create instructional videos, edit videos, and record podcasts. Below, you can see a good sample of things I've created.
