Episode Transcript
Tara:Welcome to Hallway Chats. I’m Tara Clays.
Liam: And I’m Liam Dempsey. Today, we’re joined by Chris and Jude Warden, who are the co-creators of the Success With WordPress series of online courses. Hi Chris, hi Jude.
Jude: Hello.
Chris: Hi there.
Tara: Hello, welcome. We’re so excited to be talking to you guys today. Would you guys introduce yourselves and tell us a little bit about who you are and what you do?
Chris: Who, me first?
Jude: You go first.
Chris: Okay. I’m Chris, so I’m the male voice. I started off as a designer, a long time ago, about 15 years ago and I’ve grown as a designer, I’ve managed studios and all that kind of stuff and I got into WordPress about 10 years ago and I’ve been using it for our clients in our web business, for the last seven years and I’ve also developed a bunch of commercial WordPress themes as well and our latest endeavor is selling online courses for WordPress.
Jude: And I’m Jude and I have a completely different background. My background is in use work and training and development but when I had our first son, and when I say our Chris and I are a married couple. When I had our first son, I decided not to go back to work afterwards, it just wasn’t going to fit in, and so I joined Chris running the web design and development business that he had started up while I was pregnant and then we sort of took it from there really.
So, I’ve been doing the business and finance and admin side of stuff of the business, and then got a little bit involved in the WordPress themes side of the business, planning out some of the themes for Chris to design and develop and then with my training background, this is really our sort of first joint endeavor that we’ve done together with the online courses, with Chris bringing all the real knowledge and me structuring the courses and making sure that we are meeting the learning requirements and we’ve got a real kind of clear guidance on where we are going with our courses.
Liam: That is a fantastic coming together, I love that. Thank you for sharing that and it’s clear you’re very aware of training. Chris, I love it, “I’m the male voice.” [crosstalk 00:02:23].
