This is a first – and a very special guest for the podcast because it’s an interview with one of my best web design clients!
Gary Sigrist, founder and CEO of Safeguard Risk Solutions hired me back in 2012 to do branding, graphic and web design for his new company. What he didn’t know at that time was that I was very green and new to the industry.
Fast forward to 2026, his company is STILL a client of my agency In ...

Imagine getting handed a project of sifting, sorting and organizing over 10,000 emails 😮
As a web design business owner, that probably sounds like a nightmare. But there are people in the world who actually enjoy this type of work. And for creatives, they are a DREAM to partner up with and hire.
This is the story of how Jess Lindgren began working with online-entrepreneur legend Pat Flynn.

I think there’s a misunderstanding of the term “solopreneuer” in that, when you think about that term, you probably think about being “alone.” At least I did.
Until this conversation.
I had a light bulb moment in this chat with Maggie Patterson, author of the book “Staying Solo” with this very idea that you can be a solopreneur while not being an alonepreneur.
Some of the happiest, most balanced and most...

I’m not gonna lie…I needed this chat. In an era where there’s so much emphasis on growth plans (like SEO, CRO, Email Marketing, Ads, Social, etc), it’s easy to second-guess yourself or just abandon web design completely if you prefer to just build awesome websites and support that work.
Well good news, just offering high-converting web design + hosting and maintenance plans is still a VERY VIABLE model in 2026 and beyond.

But getting there is the hard part.

The landscape of website builders has evolved so much since I got started in 2010 and you know what else has evolved? Web designers.
Building high-converting, well-designed professional websites is still at the core of most web designer studios and agencies but the landscape is evolving now to where, in my experience, clients are relying on web designers to help make sense of the scattered online world and to help them dr...

As a web designer, I’m sure you’ve had plenty of people ask “is AI going to take your job?”

To hear how copywriters are surviving, even thriving in an AI world, here’s copywriter for web designers Nikki Thompson ...

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
