WordCamp Europe Live interview with Robby McCullough from Beaver Builder

Ep. 12
•

This is the second of our live WordCamp Europe 2019 interviews.


It’s with Robby McCullough from the popular Beaver Builder Page Builder plugin.


As is the case with all the WordCamp interviews they are are off the cuff, non-scripted discussions in which the conversation flows freely and there’s no specific objective. I really like this format and I hope that you do too.


We get into quite a few topic with Robby; we discuss the purpose of WordCamps for product owners. Are events like this approached with a ‘show up and see’ mentality, or is there a more organised and methodical list of tasks to accomplish whilst in attendance?


We also get into whether or not Page Builders have a future in the era of Gutenberg. Robby addresses the fact that Page Builders and Beaver Builder in particular offer a host of features not currently in (or ever wanted in) the default WordPress editor. In short, Robby is bullish about Page Builders in the future of WordPress.


We chat about the social side of WordPress. How you can make real and meaningful friendships from events like WordCamp.


Finally, we talk about Robby’s decision last year to make travel a real focus of his life. He’s working with a distributed team and so he thought that it would be fun to explore the flexibility that this offered him. He’s been hopping all over the globe for a year and, as you’ll hear, thinks it’s one of the best decisions that he’s ever made. He knows that it’s remarkable that this is possible and that it’s all down to the possibilities that WordPress creates.


I hope that you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it!

    Today we’re speaking Wendie Huis in ‘t Veld.This is such a lovely and open discussion, I’m sure that you’re going to enjoy it!We cover quite a bit of ground, but the main focus is around autism. You see Wendie is autistic and it shapes many aspects of her life.We begin with a brief chat about her relationship with WordPress and her interest in attending WordCamps and WordPress meetups.We then get into the main discussion about how Wendie became aware that she is autistic. At what point did she think that she wanted to be tested and how such tests are carried out.We move on to talk about how Wendie’s life is shaped by her autism and how she uses routines and systems to keep things running smoothly.There is so much in here that I did not know and Wendie describes it all with such charm and good humour.If you’ve been impacted by any of the issues raised in this podcast, please reach out to us by using the chat on the wpandup.org website.Interviewed by Nathan Wrigley.We hope you enjoy the show, please do subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. We’re always looking for feedback, if you have any thoughts or comments, please do reach out.And remember… Together we can #PressForward
