Jon Nastor's Hack the Entrepreneur

My guest today is a blogger, podcaster, voracious reader, and an entrepreneur.

My guest hasn’t always been running her own business and doing her own thing. In 2003, her husband passed away at 32 years old. Being widowed with a 2-year-old and 6-year-old drove my guest to find something she could do from home. She also wanted to set an example for her children and show they could pursue what made them happy and do what they loved for a living.

She founded WP Chick, a blog dedicated helping people use WordPress to grow their businesses. She has since expanded the brand into a podcast, multiple products, and a consulting business.
