Back in January, I said automation would be the word of the year. Not just as an idea or a buzzword – but as a requirement. If you’re a creator, indie hacker or lone wolf trying to build something great in 2025, you have to move faster, smarter, and with less overhead. That’s why I…
How disciplined developers ship faster, adapt smarter, and lead with code You don’t need permission. You don’t need a bloated roadmap or a management playbook. You need clarity, decisiveness, and the ability to turn ideas into working software … fast. Extreme Programming (XP) is a software development methodology built around exactly that. Originally created to…
Over recent days, there’s been a lot of noise around my exchange with Kevin Geary, from the WP Townhall Debate on YouTube, to the public knowledge I gathered about his history of hate and racism and shared on social media. Predictably, most of the heat hasn’t been about what was actually said – it’s been…
There’s a lie that’s been passed around in every business Slack channel, every “educational” YouTube video, every founder AMA: Do more to get ahead. ✅ More features.✅ More tasks.✅ More tools.✅ More outreach.✅ More content.✅ More hustle. And it’s killing the people who actually build. Because what this advice really breeds isn’t output. It’s overhead.…
In a world drowning in bloat and broken systems, leadership needs more than charisma. It needs a code. A compass. A creed that doesn’t just sound good in a keynote, but works when it’s 2AM and the product still isn’t finished. When your community is tired. When you’re tired. That’s what LEAP is. Originally introduced…
Let’s be real – managing a WordPress® site is a full-time job, and I’m not even talking about page speed optimization, server maintenance, security audits, etc. Writing content? Takes forever. SEO? A god damn maze. Images? Either expensive as hell or generic stock garbage. Audio? Don’t even get me started 😭 That’s where IntelliPress comes…
The last time I was this excited to announce a new baby, it was my son 😂 Today I’d like to formally introduce you to IntelliPress, an AI WordPress plugin that integrates with the OpenAI API. It’s built to help you write content faster, optimize it for search engines, generate featured images from Pexels, and…
It’s been nearly 7 years since I first released WP Dispensary 😲 On November 26th, 2015 I published this article announcing to the world that I built the first cannabis menu plugin for WordPress. Needless to say, it was met with both good and bad responses 🤷♂️ Some people knew where the industry was heading…
On this day last year I went all in with WP Dispensary, leaving behind 10+ years of full time freelancing. It was one of the most exciting times in my life, both professionally and personally. I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders when I was able to stop freelancing and focus full time…
It is now less than 2 weeks until I release version 2.0 of WP Dispensary. And if you’re not looking at a calendar, yes, the release date is 4/20 ? After working on this release, I took a step back and realized that it’s been a hell of a journey to get here. From it’s…
Over the last two years, the WP Dispensary WordPress plugin has changed my entire life. In these last two years, WP Dispensary has gone from being just a “thing” I built to a thing that powers hundreds of websites for cannabis businesses around the world. It’s also become my full time job, giving me the…
I recently built and released a new plugin on WP Dispensary that works 100% without WP Dispensary. “But didn’t you just jump in full time to build WP Dispensary? Why create something that doesn’t work with it?” I know, right?
