WP Elevation Podcast: Building an Online Community

WP Elevation Podcast host Kristina Romero and I were both speakers at the 2017 WordCamp Baltimore event, and in between talks, we sat down to record an episode for WP Elevation.

Hallway Chats Podcast Interview

I met Liam Dempsey and Tara Claeys at different times and different WordCamps. Both are active volunteers in the WordPress community and a connector of people. So it was no surprise to find out they had teamed up to do a WordPress-focused podcast known as Hallway Chats. Liam and Tara were kind enough to have me on as a guest.

WordCamp Baltimore (2017) Talk: Building Traffic And Community With WordPress

WordCamp Baltimore is one of my favorite WordCamps. This year, I spoke on setting up a WordPress site and building traffic through integrating social, email and community to reach your intended audience. Here's the video of my talk.

The Entrepreneurial Musician Podcast with Andrew Hitz

Long before Andrew Hitz reached out to me asking if I would be a guest on his podcast, I was a subscriber. I’ve enjoyed many episodes, so it was an honor for me to be a part of this.

MusicPreneur Podcast with James Newcomb

MusicPreneur is a six-month-old podcast, hosted by James Newcomb. James recently asked me to chat with him for episode #66.

Building an Audience with Stickers

Sticker Mule is one of my favorite companies, in large part because I'm a huge sticker nerd. They interviewed me for this case study on how No Treble used stickers to generate buzz online.

Contrabass Conversations Interview with Jason Heath

Jason Heath has done something impressive. Since 2007, he’s produced a podcast devoted to bass – Contrabass Conversations. I recently had the honor of chatting with Jason for an episode in this long-running series, which has seen more than 1.5 million downloads to date… and counting.

Musical Connections: Michael League, David Crosby… and No Treble

We’ve been long-time fans of bassist Michael League and his band Snarky Puppy at No Treble HQ. Yesterday, I stumbled upon a Rolling Stone feature on David Crosby. We already knew Michael produced it, but I was shocked to see that No Treble was part of the story – and connection.

When the Universe is Aligning…

It’s funny how a major event can make you exhale, especially when you didn’t even realize you were holding your breath. When we announced Hubpages acquired Squidoo back in August, that’s exactly what I did. Thanks to Seth Godin, I met Mitch Joel, and the No Treble podcast was born.

105 Months Later…

Squidoo began for me the day I met Seth Godin – Father’s Day, 2005 to be exact. By the end of the summer, Seth asked me to join and said “Let’s give it three months and see how it goes.” 105 months later, Squidoo is being acquired by Hubpages.

WPR Interview: All About the Bass

I did an interview with Central Time on Wisconsin Public Radio on July 30th. The segment’s title was “Great Bass Lines And The Science That Makes Us Love Them” and kicked off with Laurel Trainor, a professor of psychology, neuroscience and behaviour at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada.
