What if you locked yourself in a room and threw away the key to work on your business?



Stop the Slacking, the doom scrolling, but forced to focus on the agenda of improving...everything. 



That's exactly what Kim Coleman, co-founder Paid Memberships Pro & Sitewide Sales, did to re-focus the Sitewide Sales business. Running a business of 2 core products, 14+ employees, and with her husband...it was time to "get away."

The WP Minute+: Syed Balkhi interview

Been a while right?!

I’m back with an update to what’s going on with Matt Report, and a potential new direction I’ll be taking the content through the new year. While I love all of the deep conversations I’ve had about WordPress, the new home for that is The WP Minute.

That’s where I’ve been focusing all of my WP energy these days, with lots more fun stuff to come.

I also wanted to take an opportunity to share one of my favorite episodes ever, with Jose Caballer. It’s over a decade old but it’s SO worth listening to again. While some of the websites and links he’s mentioning no longer exist, the content of providing great web services is still very relevant in today’s world.

I hope you enjoy it (again) and thank you for being a loyal listener of the show!

Updates + My favorite episode ever

Heading to a major WordCamp event can be an overwhelming experience for the brand new 'camper. 



Having hundred if not thousands of WordPress-loving peers under one roof might have you stuck in your tracks, no pun intended. How do you meet new people? How do you get noticed? How do you recharge if you're an introvert? 



Thanks to Gina, we'll learn about all of that and more! If you enjoy today's episode, please share it on social media, especially if you're headed to WordCamp US 2022 this week!

Before heading to WordCamp...

Before heading to WordCamp…

Web accessibility was something I was afraid to discuss with clients, when I ran my agency. 



I didn't know much about it, where to begin, or how much time it would it take to implement the various practices. That fear steered me away from presenting it as part of a web design project. 



I'm not in the agency space anymore, but I know there's some of you out there faced with the same dilemma. Lucky for us, folks like Anne Bovelett advocate for both sides of the cause.
