In this episode we discuss collaboration and partnering with other developers and/or designers who are well-versed in Divi. Our guest is the infamous David Elster, he'll soon be launching his own project Explain Like I'm 5: Wordpress. If you are in the Divi FB groups you've probably been helped by him at one time or another (or scolded lol).
