I love the description of a startup above and agree wholeheartedly with Eston’s views on why titles actually do not matter.
This is a similar approach to what we have at WooThemes, where we’ve never been overly fussed about titles and specific job descriptions. And the only reason why I didn’t write such an article, is because I’m not nearly as eloquent as Eston, who manages to write an extremely intellectual article on the matter. :)
So following up on this tweet about my upcoming international travels, I have to say that there’s only two words to describe my current emotion: surreal & blessed.
At the beginning of the year I set myself the goal of speaking at, at least 3 international conferences. Up until now I’ve spoken at:
I will however soon add the following conferences to this list:
Couple that with the fact that I’ll also be visiting Corfu (Greece), London, Barcelona, Madrid & Lisbon on honeymoon with Jeanne in October and you’ve got yourself a jet setting line-up there.
So I’m being paid to see some amazing cities across the globe and I’ve far exceeded my goal of 3 international conferences, which really is a surreal experience (considering that there are awesome people that want to pay me to hear me speaking). Consider this as a thanks to all of you that have in any way made this possible! :)
I haven’t been doing a lot of writing lately (it’s kinda obvious when looking at my archives), but I’m happy to say that my book is finally complete and except a few formatting / designs things will be going to print soon. So hopefully I’ll get back to some regular posting soon, even though I’m still undecided about how I will be approaching my publishing next.
I had to have a bit of a chuckle at this.
We recently worked with the super-talented Jon Hicks to create these new bad boys for WooThemes. Read about our training of the new WooNinja’s here.
