Welcome to WPCoffeeTalk, where we talk to all kinds of people in the WordPress community!
One of the best ways to get to know someone is to sit down over coffee and “shoot the breeze.” Here at WPCoffeeTalk, we do just that.
Find out what’s in their cup, what they do with WordPress, how they got started, some of their favorite things, what they’ve learned along the way, and more.
You never know what might happen over coffee.

Tom Fanelli is a visionary when it comes to WordPress hosting. He’s also fun to talk to, and a great community contributor!
Meg Phillips is a brilliant problem solver, and I love that she uses WordPress to solve so many problems. From creating a charter boat booking plugin to helping school teachers with online management, Meg’s goals are always helping others.
Sabrina Zeidan is a ray of sunshine! And she’s relentless about site speed. And helping others have faster sites, too.
Joe Simpson has an amazing WordPress story. How he discovered the community – and how his near-death experience formed all of his future involvements is a testimony to both the WordPress community and Joe’s dedication to giving back to it. I always count myself fortunate when our paths cross.
Megan Rose exemplifies what it is to be a community-minded WordPresser. She’s been an organizer for WordCamp Kent, WordCamp Northeast Ohio, WordCamp US, and Big Orange Heart’s WordFest. Her helpfulness extends to all she meets, and her cheerfulness is contagious.
If you’ve thought about creating online courses, chances are you’ve come across Chris Badgett. Passionate about education and learning, Chris is the CEO and co-founder of LifterLMS, a learning management system that works really well on WordPress. In this episode we talk about WordPress, online learning, and much more.
Zack Katz is the CEO at GravityView, a plugin that makes displaying the information collected from your Gravity Forms displayable (and searchable) on your website. If that wasn’t enough to make you like him, he also collects gifs and videos to make a bad day better, shares music to make you happy, and always finds…
The first time I met Andrea was at WCUS 2016 to talk about making the Rochester meetup “official.” I mentioned doing a WordCamp “someday.” She said, “why not this year?” And the rest is history. So happy to have her as a colleague and friend.
You know that Matt Mullenweg is the co-founder of WordPress, and the Founder and CEO at Automattic (and partial to jazz and barbecue), but did you know he plays several instruments, credits his music teachers for much of his success, and geeks out over setting up home networks? He’s also a genuine, gracious, and a…
Malcolm Peralty is the Co-Founder of PressTitan, a Managed WordPress Hosting/Maintenance company and founder of Capeless Heroes, a site dedicated to sharing the stories of people doing good. We think he’s doing a lot of good, too, and we’re happy to have interviewed him for WPCoffeeTalk!
Some people really are rare finds, and priceless in who they are – in other words, unicorns. Such is Rachel Di Martino. So fun. So creative. So down-to-earth. Meeting her for this interview made my face hurt from smiling so much.
Sometimes you meet a person and your paths begin to cross again and again. Such it is with me and Thomas. I’ve repped Weglot, done webinars together, and crossed paths digitally many times, and still never stood in the same room. He’s delightful to talk to, and his love for his cat and his community…
On Ajit Bohra’s WordPress profile he wrote “I didn’t choose the WordPress, the WordPress chose me.” Well I’m glad it did! He’s a strong supporter of the WordPress community globally, and in India specifically, and a really great guy all around. It was a pleasure to interview him for WPCoffeeTalk.
David Johnson combines wit with know-how, and turns it into gold. Kind of a modern-day alchemist, his brand of business and personality shows how much having solid business acumen and a good sense of humor can do for you.
