Launch notes: Irresistible Podcasting Course by Adam Clark


Today's episode is a crossover episode with Adam Clark's The Gently Mad ep 33.

The next Build & Launch project

This week Justin is partnering up: this time with fellow-Canadian Carl Alexander. Carl lives in Montreal, and is really talented developer.

This week's product: a WordPress plugin that interfaces with Gumroad. We've talked about Gumroad before: they allow makers to sell digital products directly. This plugin will allow makers to sell membership sites, courses, etc... built on WordPress using Gumroad as the payment processor.
