If you follow on me on Twitter you may have come across my announcement of the Business 5000 idea accelerator program. In today's episode, I'll dive a bit deeper into my thought process around the new venture. I recently uploaded this video to YouTube as well, covering some of these points. 



Here's the article I mention in the podcast, Marketing lessons learned over more than a decade growing startups.



I'm excited to jump into new areas of content creation through the rest of 2020 -- I hope you join me for the ride.

The WP Minute+: Syed Balkhi interview

Been a while right?! I’m back with an update to what’s going on with Matt Report, and a potential new direction I’ll be taking the content through the new year. While I love all of the deep conversations I’ve had about WordPress, the new home for that is The WP Minute.

 That’s where I’ve been focusing all of my WP energy these days, with lots more fun stuff to come. I also wanted to take an opportunity to share one of my favorite episodes ever, with Jose Caballer. It’s over a decade old but it’s SO worth listening to again. While some of the websites and links he’s mentioning no longer exist, the content of providing great web services is still very relevant in today’s world. I hope you enjoy it (again) and thank you for being a loyal listener of the show!

Before heading to WordCamp…

Web accessibility was something I was afraid to discuss with clients, when I ran my agency. 



I didn't know much about it, where to begin, or how much time it would it take to implement the various practices. That fear steered me away from presenting it as part of a web design project. 



I'm not in the agency space anymore, but I know there's some of you out there faced with the same dilemma. Lucky for us, folks like Anne Bovelett advocate for both sides of the cause.
