Here’s what has been happening since the last podcast episode:
I started as a Customer Success Manager at WooCommerce
WordCamp US happened in Sept 2024
The community exploded with the WPEngine situation, how it was handled etc.
Spent a week in Tulum Mexico with the WooCommerce Division
Immediately afterwards took a 3-month sabbatical from Oct 14 – Jan 14
During my time off, spent time on house projects, traveled to Florida for Thanksgiving, 52 Christmas shows and coached basketball
Also completely relaunched FunctionalMedicineCE.com) with blocks and using LifterLMS. Jetpack page speed went from a D to a high A (on desktop)
