Episode Transcript
Liam: This is Hallway Chats, where we talk with some of the unique people in and around WordPress.
Tara: Together, we meet and chat with folks you may not know about in our community.
Liam: With our guests, we’ll explore stories of living – and of making a living with WordPress.
Tara:Today’s show is brought to you in part by Liquid Web.
Liam: We sure know that there’s a lot of choice when it comes to hosting your WordPress site. Liquid Web is the Managed WordPress partner you’ve been waiting for. Whether you’re a business owner, an agency, or a freelancer, Liquid Web has you covered when it comes to performance, uptime, and ease of site management.
Tara: And one of the things we love most? When your content goes viral, Liquid Web doesn’t charge you more for huge spikes in traffic. Transparent pricing. No surcharges.
Liam: Liquid Web is offering Hallway Chats listeners 33% off for 3 months. Go to liquidweb.com and use the coupon code HALLWAYCHATS to sign up!
Tara: And now, the conversation begins. This is episode 6.
Liam: Welcome to Hallway Chats. I’m Liam Dempsey.
Tara: I’m Tara Claeys. We’re here today with Joe Howard. Joe is the head buff at WP Buffs. Joe is from Washington, D.C. He tells us that he drinks 9 cups of tea a day.
Liam: Joe? Welcome to the show. Thanks for joining us.
Joe: Howdy guys. Thanks for having me. I’m really excited to be here.
Liam: I bet you are if you are halfway through nine cups of tea!
Joe: Oh yeah! I’m on number four right now. I am drinking out of my NASA mug. So yeah. There’s a lot going on.
Liam: Awesome. Joe? Tell us a little about yourself; who you are and what you do. We know you’re from DC but fill in the gaps for us please.
Joe: Sure Liam. I am indeed from the nation’s capital Washington DC born and raised and now back in the district. Like Tara mentioned, I run a company called WP Buffs. We are the CTO for entrepreneurs and small businesses that run WordPress websites. We provide ongoing security performance review, maintenance, and any ongoing support issues that people need for a monthly subscription. That’s my role in the WordPress space.
Liam: That is awesome. So you said that you provide a CTO role. You work in a lot of a support. You kind of do whatever a client needs to be done within their WordPress builds. Tell me a little bit about (if you can) how you got into WordPress from the start. As your interest and involvement in WordPress grew, how did that eventually become what you doing today with WP Buffs?
Joe: So my origins in WordPress happened a long time ago. When I graduated college, I actually graduated with a major in mathematics and education. So I came back to DC (like I said I was born and raised here). I came back to DC and taught high school math for a couple years. Actually, nothing related to WordPress at all. After I finished two years teaching in DC public schools I decided to transition to something else.
