Hey Divi Nation, we’re back this week with a first! Er, a second? A first second? It’s the first time that we’ve had one person as a guest on the show twice! And if you’ve read the title, then you know it’s SJ James. The last time SJ was on the show the podcast looked very different. It was just episode four and each episode consisted of about four segments. Since then we learned that our Divi Quick Tips were popular enough to be daily content. So now we have daily Divi blog posts. And earlier today, we brought back the segment This Week in WordPress as it’s own weekly post (soon to be accompanied by live discussion). But the change is far from one-sided. SJ’s world has dramatically changed since that conversation too. He’s still doing what he loves: working with Divi and creating third party tools and resources, but the client side work is gone. His business, the one he was just building up last time we spoke, has merged with Divi businesses. And SJ’s role is no longer at the helm, but doing what he’s best at: developing products. Join us today to hear the whole story and learn what it meant for one member of our community to put the life he really wanted first. Choose You & Your Life with SJ James – The Divi Nation Podcast, Episode 55 In this episode I interview SJ James. SJ is the founder of Divi Space (a wildly popular creator of third party Divi plugins, child themes, and layouts), He’s an incredibly active community member, and I believe the first person to be a guest on this podcast twice. I invited SJ back because so much has changed in his life and with his Divi based business since we last spoke on the air. I wanted to give him a platform to share more of his personal and professional journey with us as well as the hard earned lessons he’s learned along the way. All that and more in today’s episode of Divi Nation. Subscribe To Our Youtube Channel All Subscription Options: YouTube Facebook iTunes Subscribe via RSS See You Next Week! Well that’s all for this week’s episode. Thanks again to SJ for making the time to be on the show. I hope you enjoyed our chat as much as I did.

Hey Divi Nation we’re back with an interview I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Randy Brown has been a staple on the Elegant Themes blog (and other Divi blogs in the community now too!) and as such he’s someone who keeps his finger on the pulse of all things Divi. He’s also an incredibly productive writer. Something many people struggle with. In today’s episode we learn more about him and some of his best tips for creating content for your brand. Check it out! Creating Effective Content For Your Brand with Randy Brown – The Divi Nation Podcast, Episode 54 In this episode I interview Randy Brown, a longtime contributor to the Elegant Themes blog, a content service provider to the Divi Community, and avid user/tester/and reviewer of not only Elegant Themes products but the whole burgeoning Divi market. In the course of our conversation we learn Randy’s story, learn about how he approaches creating the truly monumental amount of written content he produces, and he and I both share some tips for those looking to be more consistent and effective when creating content for their own brand.

Welcome back everyone to this week’s episode of Divi Nation. We’ve got a great conversation to share with you this time around with web designer Meg Long. Meg’s a fairly new face in the Divi community but I wouldn’t be surprised if she becomes a mainstay. Not only is she easy to get along with (which always makes the community side of things easy) but she’s got a lot of talent and experience to share. Check it out! Understanding Your Client’s Perspective with Meg Long – The Divi Nation Podcast, Episode 53 In this episode I interview Meg Long of Meg Long Creative her one woman web design shop based out of Los Angeles, California. Meg is one of those guests I have get on the show from time to time who I have never met before, but the community has nominated because they respect the work they’re seeing. After getting to know her a little and see that work first hand, it’s no mystery to me that she was nominated to be on the show. Meg seems to be one of those web designers who really gets communication. It’s obvious looking at her website and her work that she’s able to put herself in a client’s shoes, find out what problems of theirs that she can solve, and then bring in a lot of other really valuable skills and insights along the way.
