Building high-converting, well-designed professional websites is still at the core of most web designer studios and agencies but the landscape is evolving now to where, in my experience, clients are relying on web designers to help make sense of the scattered online world and to help them drive traffic, leads and customers to their website. This means an...

Hi Josh just wanted to take a moment to leave you an honest review. One of my new year's resolutions for 2022 was to listen to more podcasts, and ever since the beginning of 2022, I have been listening to your podcast consistently. It is quite difficult finding another person who is well versed in both the Divi theme and the business side of website design. Although I've been a self employed WordPress website developer and designer (who specializes in the Divi theme), I'm always open to how I can make my business better. I have gained so many useful insights from listening to your episodes. It's about a 20 - 30 minute commute from my home to my coworking space, and if I get stuck in traffic or something, this creates the perfect opportunity to tune in to your latest episode. Before 2022 ends, I'll be making some adjustments to my overall online business thanks to the beneficial audio content you've put out. Keep doing what you're doing!
Brilliant info ✌
I want to say thank you to Josh, primarily for putting the content out that he does on this Podcast. It's helped me maintain excitement for the future in this industry, when it's likely I could have let that fizzle out. Not only has he helped me stay excited and engaged, but I've taken away a lot of awesome nuggets from this show, so again, thank you.
I've been on the fence about making a major change in the way I track data. Like all major changes, I needed to learn more before making my decision. Josh just released a podcast...and BOOM!... the information I had been looking for to help make my decision was right there! Thanks for keeping your tribe informed - you do us all a great service!
