I sincerely hope all the drama at @automattic is resolved soon so agencies can just get on with using WordPress to serve clients.

I worked for three productive hours today. I also did a workout. And now I’m at swimming with my 6 year old son. #dadhustle 🤣

@LaraVP @SourceElements I can't get SC Standard to work on my M1 Macbook pro with Monterey. I've lost all hope.

@SourceElements The Source Connect Standard download for Monterey does not work. I have a session Monday morning. What do you recommend? I'm on Monterey with an M1 chip. And I'm frustrated.

@aaroncampbell Whoa. I can’t imagine.

Current status: safe, no power, awaiting daylight to assess the damage. The third one got big and came close, then acted like it was going to spin up another and hit us again but didn't (or might have but it wasn't severe). I think we're finally through it.

Tornadoes have us sheltering for the second time this week - roof repair folks haven't even made it out to assess the damage from two nights ago. I'm ready for some *relaxing* evenings.

@mrpritchett We have a mastermind group where most of the agencies use WP as their main tool for websites, but I wouldn’t call it a WP mastermind as such, more a business growth mastermind.

Do folks still do master mind groups in the WordPress space? It felt like those were huge 4-5 years ago but I don’t hear about them as much anymore.

“You can’t put the fire out while you’re pouring petrol on it. But Liberal and Labor want to open 114 new coal & gas mines.” – @AdamBandt It's now or never. Vote Greens.

Where’s The Greens candidate in this debate about the environment? #qanda

Poor Ron Mizen from the @FinancialReview just got schooled by @AdamBandt at the Press Club. Welcome to the jungle. Game on.

Great to see @AdamBandt fight back against inflammatory, immature questions from AFR journalists at The Press Club. Outstanding leadership. "Google it mate" 🤣

@Adam_McLaughlin @daveshrein @natmiletic @Kyler_Nixon @kylepdotco @jonathan_carone @MrAndyKirk I do it face to face or over Zoom. Then we issue a statement of work once they agree.

@troydean @daveshrein @natmiletic @Kyler_Nixon @kylepdotco @jonathan_carone @MrAndyKirk Tell me more about that, Troy. How do you present a price to the client without a quote or proposal?

OK, #freelancer and #webdesign friends: Do you send Good/Better/Best options for a custom website quote or just a single option? Bonus points for why.

@Adam_McLaughlin @daveshrein @natmiletic @Kyler_Nixon @kylepdotco @jonathan_carone @MrAndyKirk I don’t advocate the use of quotes or proposals these days so I’m likely no use to this conversation sorry.

Would love to hear your feedback @troydean @daveshrein @natmiletic @Kyler_Nixon @kylepdotco @jonathan_carone @MrAndyKirk

@kirkhamilton stellar effort on recreating the drums on “ No One Knows”. 👍

@adilmahmooddev @justmissmills appreciate the reference but this implies that you designed our website, which you did not.

@justmissmills check this out

Basil Zempilas is one of the Wiggles right? 🤣

@matt_barrie Correct. It’s irresponsible journalism.

“Our cash cow business Domain wants to sell more houses”.

Do I know any indigenous agency owners or marketers?

@jamesgiroux @carlhancock @welcometoinput I know a few and would love to come chat 😉

I am on the hunt for a few people with #WordPress agency experience who would be willing to join me on @welcometoinput for a conversation. I’d especially love to connect with people from underrepresented groups on the topics of serving clients and growing revenue. DMs welcome.

@cdils @leftlane @chrislema Excuse the cheesy pic and affiliate links but here’s mine: kit.co/troydean/troy-… Hope some of it’s useful.

@leftlane Do you still have a gear list published of your recording equipment? Or maybe I'm thinking of @chrislema?
