In this episode, we talk with Robby McCullough about Gutenberg and how it’s affecting Beaver Builder’s products.

Dan Cameron joins John and Phil to discuss the daily life of a solo founder and the challenges that come along with it. At the time of this recording, all three of us are the only founders and developers of each of our companies with no full-time employees or contractors. We talk about managing our time and schedules, battling burn out, and making the effort to meet with real people on a regular basis.

Dan is the founder of Sprout Apps, a suite of WordPress plugins including Sprout Invoices and Help Scout Desk.

Phil and John are joined by Brian Hogg to talk all about building community, regularly networking with people virtually and in-person, tips for introverts, and more. Brian is the creator of several plugins and courses, hosts a couple podcasts, runs a local WordPress meetup, and much more.

In our first recording of the Hooked on Products podcast, John and Phil interview James Laws all about getting started with podcasting (since that’s exactly what we’re doing here).

James is the co-founder of Ninja Forms, a popular form builder WordPress plugin. He’s also the creator and co-host of Mastermind.fm and Adventures in Businessing.
