    Maybe WordPress Needs To Re-Connect With “Why” Instead of “What”

    Reflections on a recent WP Product Talk episode, and my thoughts on what WordPress may have lost touch with over the years.

    Just scheduled an email to Siren’s email list about the two integrations that are coming next month. 🤫

    I had back to back meetings pretty much all day today. Talking with new Siren customers in 1:1 calls, had a call with my coach, and even recorded a podcast interview. My brain is so full right now!

    Whooooops. I messed up my Linux install while working on some adjustments to make more partition space. Guess it’s time to bust out the “emergency thumb drive” 🤣.

    Kate (My wife) said “Who could have seen THAT coming?”

    As-if this has ever happened before.

    I love just sitting here and then suddenly getting a message on Siren’s chat from someone “Whoa…this is REALLY cool!”

    So fun to be nearby when people see how powerful Siren Affiliates is! 💪

  • A Season Of Change

    A Season Of Change

    It’s been a heck of a week. I left my job, my wife started working on her art professionally, my kids started going to public school for the first time ever, I released a big Siren update, and I started picking up freelance work.

    Today I managed to sit down and refine some of the upcoming podcast content for Siren. The content strategy has been slow and laborious- really glad I’m starting to outsource some of that, and figuring out how to give that value more efficiently.

    The last 10 days have been intense. Definitely taking it easy this weekend to recover. Started this morning with a round of disc golf with my local buddies.

    Working on turning a client’s functional prototype into a WordPress plugin this morning. I helped them map out an upgrade path prior to this, but today I get to break ground on the code. Let’s do this!

    Today is all about Siren‘s content strategy. I’ve been a little behind with content because of the LifterLMS launch. Thankfully I have someone helping me, and I’m hoping to start batching the podcast so I can get that moving more-consistently. I’ve started taking on guests for the podcast, too, which WOW there have been some fantastic insights already.
