WPCoffeeTalk

Taylor Waldon is a gifted content marketer. Besides her work at Impress.org, she runs writing courses, is a poet, a ghost writer, and a fierce warrior for people with disabilities.

Sam Smith is one of the kindest, gentlest, funniest firefighter turned web developers I know. (He's also the only one.) I also get to work with him at GiveWP (you can all be jealous). It's always fun to talk to him, and this episode is proof of that.

In this episode Chrissie Pollock turns the tables and interviews ME!

I'm excited to be your podcast barista at WPCoffeeTalk. This is my heart's work and my love letter to the WordPress Community. Facilitating the stories of amazing people in WordPress is my honor and my pleasure, and I'm eternally grateful for my amazing guests!

Rahul Sarker is the CEO of Peergrowth Technologies, providing WordPress Development & Consultation services. Rahul says that for him, the WordPress Community is like family, which he enjoys meeting at WordCamps. Meet Rahul!

Alison Knott is a fun, zany, lay-it-all-out-there designer and marketer who really knows her stuff and loves to help others. She is also the founder of WordCamp Halifax and an inspired WordCamp speaker. You can't help but be enchanted by her!

If you want to meet someone who goes out of his way to help others in the WordPress space, look no further than Kyle Maurer. Kyle is well-entrenched in everything WordPress from his full-time job, to speaking at WordCamps, to hosting podcasts. He's also a really gracious gentleman, and a total comedian at the same time. Say hello to Kyle!

Dan Maby saw a need and decided to build toward a solution. The result is WP&UP, an organization that helps the WordPress community have access to mental health counselors, as well as information and help with physical and business health. It takes a special person to care that much about a whole community. Dan is that person.

Carole Olinger is what I call a real go-getter. This year she joined WP&UP to be the Crew Chief for headto.org, a huge undertaking where she and anyone else who wants to join will bicycle from Germany to Portugal for #WCEU 2020! Spending time with Carole was inspirational. I know you'll agree!

Paul Oyler was one of the first friendly faces I knew in the WordPress community outside of New York. A staunch supporter of the WordPress community, and a supporter of mental health for WordPress users, Paul can frequently be found at WordCamps in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and beyond. Say hello to Pappy Oyler here on WPCoffeeTalk!

Ben Townsend appeared in my Twitter feed one day, and from there a beautiful friendship (or several hundred?) were born. Ben blogs about all things WordPress - plugins, themes, core, the community - and in his day job is a Marketing Manager. Say hello to Ben on Twitter, and you may end up with several hundred more followers, too!
