But before we do that, let's go to Robert, who has the longest bio. 16 00:04:30.228 --> 00:04:56.056 Robert, I'll tell you what. I'll read the first paragraph. Let's go with that. This is Robert Jacoby. There he is. Robert Jacoby ran 3.5% of the internet once upon a time. Today, as the Chief Experience Officer or CXO for Blackwall, Robert connects Blackwall's security message and solutions with partners, customers, investors, as well as the greater security open source. And online industries. So we'll leave it there if that's all right. 17 00:04:56.116 --> 00:05:44.496 Yeah, that's lovely. If you want to join us in the comments, please do. It drives this show forward. It's really, really nice. The best way you're going to do that is to head to our WP Builds live page. Cami is sporting it there. WPbuilds.com. See, it's so easy. .com forward slash live. Go there and check it out. If you hate Google, you can't use the comments because they're YouTube comments. But you can click the little button inside the video player and you can use that because it's the platform. And, you know, use that if you prefer. WPbuilds.com forward slash live. And thank you to everybody who's made a comment. What I'm going to do, because Robert's time is short, I'd normally share a bunch of those, but because Robert's time is short, I'm just going to crack straight on. 18 00:05:45.255 --> 00:05:48.655 I've <00:05:45.575>already <00:05:45.835>tweeted <00:05:46.235>that, <00:05:46.615>you <00:05:46.715>know, <00:05:46.835>if <00:05:46.895>I <00:05:46.975>like <00:05:47.175>this <00:05:47.355>too <00:05:47.495>much, <00:05:47.755>I'll <00:05:47.835>just <00:05:47.975>miss <00:05:48.175>my <00:05:48.335>flight. 19 00:05:48.915 --> 00:05:53.955 Oh, <00:05:50.195>yay! <00:05:51.515>He's <00:05:51.835>getting <00:05:52.035>his <00:05:52.375>flight, <00:05:52.835>just <00:05:53.315>so <00:05:53.495>that <00:05:53.615>you <00:05:53.755>know. 20 00:05:54.935 --> 00:06:18.835 Okay, <00:05:55.335>in <00:05:55.435>which <00:05:55.575>case,

Basically, most of the WordPress deals end up on here. So it's at wpbuilds.com forward slash black. If you fancy going at the top here and putting your company near the top, you can do that by clicking on one of these buttons. Also, here is our list of recent podcast episodes that we did. 487 was particularly good. 34 00:09:12.883 --> 00:09:39.663 Really, just a fabulous guess, you know, just so good. So that was with Leslie talking about Eventcoy, as I just said. But last week we had John Turner talking about WP Vibe. He's in the enviable position in a few months after launching his plugin. He's already eclipsed 100,000 installs. AI is all the rage is all we can say about that. I'm dying to try it because I've been playing with SpaceFest. 35 00:09:39.763 --> 00:09:41.443 I'm <00:09:39.883>curious <00:09:40.183>how <00:09:40.443>the <00:09:40.943>vibe... 36 00:09:41.443 --> 00:09:53.129 Yeah. <00:09:42.163>Sort of... <00:09:43.669>It <00:09:44.169>seems <00:09:44.809>to <00:09:44.989>be <00:09:45.109>one <00:09:45.289>of <00:09:45.389>the <00:09:45.469>ones <00:09:45.669>that's <00:09:45.929>getting <00:09:46.109>all <00:09:46.349>the <00:09:46.749>press <00:09:47.689>attention, <00:09:48.069>if <00:09:48.309>you <00:09:48.389>know <00:09:48.509>what <00:09:48.629>I <00:09:48.689>mean. <00:09:48.889>I <00:09:48.949>don't <00:09:49.209>quite <00:09:49.369>know <00:09:49.549>why. <00:09:50.089>I'm <00:09:50.149>not <00:09:50.269>sure <00:09:50.429>why <00:09:50.649>that <00:09:50.829>one <00:09:50.969>has <00:09:51.129>got <00:09:51.269>so <00:09:51.449>much <00:09:51.649>attention, <00:09:52.189>but <00:09:52.249>it <00:09:52.369>definitely <00:09:52.689>has <00:09:52.949>done. 37 00:09:54.029 --> 00:10:27.309 Anyway, so that's another recent episode.

But in general, for eco-financial, just ease of, you know, attending a conference reasons, I prefer to have as little or no swag as possible. 88 00:27:52.470 --> 00:28:21.210 So, <00:27:53.590>Aaron, <00:27:54.030>hello, <00:27:54.310>Aaron. <00:27:54.750>He <00:27:54.870>says, <00:27:55.390>no, <00:27:56.390>he <00:27:56.410>doesn't. <00:27:56.790>That's <00:27:56.990>not <00:27:57.130>Aaron. <00:27:57.630>Well, <00:27:57.770>it <00:27:57.870>is <00:27:58.050>Aaron, <00:27:58.370>but <00:27:58.430>he <00:27:58.550>said, <00:27:58.890>throw. <00:27:59.190>That <00:27:59.250>wasn't <00:27:59.550>the <00:27:59.670>comment <00:27:59.930>I <00:28:00.090>was <00:28:00.250>looking <00:28:00.450>for. <00:28:01.150>Nor <00:28:01.370>was <00:28:01.590>it <00:28:01.710>that <00:28:01.890>one. <00:28:02.270>I <00:28:02.350>don't <00:28:02.450>know. <00:28:02.570>What's <00:28:02.770>the <00:28:02.830>matter <00:28:02.970>with <00:28:03.090>me? <00:28:03.290>As <00:28:03.610>I <00:28:03.750>go <00:28:03.910>to <00:28:04.070>click <00:28:04.310>them, <00:28:04.570>another <00:28:04.770>one <00:28:04.970>slides <00:28:05.390>in <00:28:05.570>at <00:28:05.650>the <00:28:05.730>bottom <00:28:05.950>and <00:28:06.090>the <00:28:06.190>UI <00:28:06.450>gets <00:28:06.690>pushed <00:28:06.950>up. <00:28:07.170>That's <00:28:07.310>my <00:28:07.430>problem. <00:28:09.170>ATZ, <00:28:09.870>we <00:28:10.110>say, <00:28:10.510>22, <00:28:10.790>says, <00:28:11.590>I <00:28:11.650>live <00:28:11.890>for <00:28:12.050>WordCamp <00:28:12.510>swag. <00:28:15.290>And <00:28:15.650>then <00:28:15.930>Aaron

Hi, hi, hi. Nice to have you with us. We're talking about random things and swag. Okay, so that was interesting and let's move on. Go to the next one which is this one here. Oh, so this is, I like this one because obviously I, you know, I put out newsletters and things like that and I follow WordPress events. So this might be of more interest to me than to you lot, but this is the idea of the fact that flagship WordCamp events often get a great deal of their traffic and ticket sales directly through the WordPress.org news channel. 95 00:30:21.120 --> 00:31:02.070 So I'll just read it here. One of the key drivers of the unique visits to the 2026 WordCamp US website was WordCamp. Wordpress.org. It's banners and news posts, also generated email newsletters, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You'd kind of think, I don't know, that somehow people figure out that they want to attend these events by osmosis. Well, they don't. These WordPress flagship events in particular. It turns out WordPress.org is a big driver. But it's been scattered on a little bit over the last few years. And each event does things differently. So this post, we won't dwell on it for long. This post is basically saying, why don't all the flagship events just do the exact same thing? 96 00:31:02.070 --> 00:31:31.310 So <00:31:02.770>it <00:31:02.930>points <00:31:03.310>at <00:31:03.510>WordCamp <00:31:03.990>Asia. <00:31:04.610>They <00:31:04.730>did <00:31:04.910>things <00:31:05.190>11 <00:31:05.450>weeks <00:31:05.830>before, <00:31:06.410>one <00:31:06.550>week <00:31:06.790>before, <00:31:07.090>and <00:31:07.250>two <00:31:07.490>days <00:31:07.790>before. <00:31:08.190>These <00:31:08.290>are <00:31:08.410>like <00:31:08.570>blog <00:31:08.790>posts <00:31:09.170>and <00:31:09.290>things <00:31:09.470>like

And so that's what this is about. Here's a template, if you like, an SOP for what a flagship WordPress event would look like on.org. So it starts 51 weeks out. So as soon as one event finishes, the next one gets begun. Halfway through the year, more stuff starts to happen for four months and then two months and so on and so on. Bye. And I think that's totally true. I got a feeling this time around for WordCamp US that because the event itself was kind of, we weren't sure if it was going to happen. It felt like everything happened in a massive avalanche with a few weeks to go. Can't have been great for ticket sales. And so if this template was followed, maybe that would fix that problem. 98 00:32:15.830 --> 00:32:45.470 I <00:32:15.970>mean, <00:32:16.110>it's <00:32:16.250>not <00:32:16.350>an <00:32:16.490>answer <00:32:16.750>to <00:32:16.930>all <00:32:17.110>problems <00:32:17.570>and <00:32:17.750>it's <00:32:17.910>not <00:32:18.010>an <00:32:18.170>answer <00:32:18.430>to, <00:32:18.670>you <00:32:18.850>know, <00:32:19.150>declining <00:32:19.570>ticket <00:32:20.210>sales <00:32:20.650>en <00:32:20.990>masse, <00:32:21.330>but <00:32:21.510>at <00:32:22.270>least <00:32:22.430>it <00:32:22.570>would <00:32:22.670>be <00:32:22.770>another <00:32:23.010>string <00:32:23.510>in <00:32:23.890>that <00:32:24.110>bow. <00:32:24.670>If <00:32:24.790>anybody's <00:32:25.370>got <00:32:25.490>any <00:32:25.650>thoughts, <00:32:26.150>let <00:32:26.250>me <00:32:26.370>know. <00:32:26.710>I'm <00:32:27.030>on <00:32:27.130>the <00:32:27.210>sponsors <00:32:27.610>team <00:32:27.850>for <00:32:28.050>WordCamp <00:32:28.470>Europe <00:32:28.650>this <00:32:28.930>year. <00:32:29.310>And, <00:32:30.010>you <00:32:30.090>know, <00:32:30.190>we've <00:32:30.470>been <00:32:30.570>going <00:32:30.750>full <00:32:30.990>speed <00:32:31.230>ahead <00:32:31.490>already <00:32:31.990>for <00:32:32.290>almost <00:32:33.410>eight <00:32:33.650>weeks. <00:32:34.430>So, <00:32:34.870>I <00:32:36.350>mean, <00:32:37.450>the <00:32:38.010>entire <00:32:38.430>team <00:32:40.130>from <00:32:40.430>leadership <00:32:40.790>all <00:32:41.030>the <00:32:41.090>way <00:32:41.190>down <00:32:41.490>for <00:32:41.710>WordCamp <00:32:42.190>Europe, <00:32:42.750>you <00:32:43.110>know, <00:32:43.450>we're <00:32:43.730>already <00:32:43.950>sort <00:32:44.350>of <00:32:44.430>10 <00:32:44.610>months <00:32:44.850>ahead <00:32:45.030>of <00:32:45.190>schedule. 99 00:32:45.470 --> 00:32:57.330 Do <00:32:46.050>you <00:32:46.110>get <00:32:46.210>the <00:32:46.310>feeling <00:32:46.510>that <00:32:46.670>WordCamp <00:32:47.110>Europe <00:32:47.310>operates <00:32:47.930>in <00:32:48.290>a, <00:32:48.550>like, <00:32:49.290>in <00:32:49.350>a <00:32:49.470>more <00:32:49.850>efficient <00:32:50.190>way, <00:32:50.590>let's <00:32:50.770>say, <00:32:51.010>than <00:32:51.130>some <00:32:51.450>of <00:32:51.550>the <00:32:51.630>other <00:32:51.730>ones? <00:32:52.590>Absolutely. <00:32:53.470>Really? <00:32:53.930>Okay. <00:32:54.490>It's <00:32:54.670>not <00:32:54.770>even <00:32:54.930>close. <00:32:56.030>WordCamp <00:32:56.290>Europe <00:32:56.410>is <00:32:56.630>the <00:32:56.730>most <00:32:56.890>organized. 100 00:32:59.530 --> 00:33:09.350 I mean, I think it's technically the longest. I think WordCamp Europe actually happened before WordCamp U.S. I wish Remkes was here, if you tell me correctly. 101 00:33:14.390 --> 00:33:39.390 That's right. No, no, no. I meant in general. I think the first flagship WordCamp ever was a WordCamp Europe. Yes, yeah. I think so. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Remkes was a co-worker of that, co-founder, or official founder, I don't know. But, I mean, this team just has its ducks in a row. I mean, there's already a group that's looking at 28. 102 00:33:40.410 --> 00:34:07.770 Wow. Already? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's taken very seriously, and it's a huge team. Maybe they've just got a really good handoff and things like that. You know, from a media part, so I'm often a media partner at that event, and from a media partner point of view, they just do it so well. Like, the communication is brilliant at WordCamp Europe. The provision in terms of the room and, like, figuring out who's having the room at this point in time, and it's all just taken care of by somebody. 103 00:34:07.770 --> 00:34:32.790 So they... On the organizing team, they just sort of take that burden, run with it, and then inform you when everything, all the ducks are in a row. It's really well organized. And it feels like the handoff is brilliant. I would have all

the flagships look at how Europe does it. I mean, hands down. I mean, just so ahead of the game compared. I mean, Asia and India is brand new for all intents and purposes, so I don't know how that'll look like. 104 00:34:32.790 --> 00:34:56.330 It <00:34:33.310>takes <00:34:33.450>a <00:34:33.610>while, <00:34:33.850>but <00:34:34.090>yeah, <00:34:34.410>definitely <00:34:34.710>could <00:34:34.950>learn <00:34:35.250>from <00:34:35.470>that <00:34:35.650>playbook. <00:34:36.410>And <00:34:36.790>there's <00:34:37.030>Taco. <00:34:37.850>Taco's <00:34:38.290>gone <00:34:38.430>from <00:34:38.610>YouTube <00:34:38.930>comments <00:34:39.310>over <00:34:39.530>to <00:34:39.670>the <00:34:39.770>other <00:34:39.890>comments, <00:34:40.250>just <00:34:40.590>in <00:34:41.050>case <00:34:41.250>you <00:34:41.410>were <00:34:41.530>interested, <00:34:42.090>which <00:34:42.310>you <00:34:42.450>probably <00:34:42.790>weren't. <00:34:43.170>He <00:34:43.530>says, <00:34:43.930>correct, <00:34:44.370>WordCamp <00:34:44.710>Europe <00:34:44.910>started <00:34:45.230>in <00:34:45.390>2013, <00:34:46.090>WordCamp <00:34:46.710>US <00:34:46.930>in <00:34:47.110>2015. <00:34:47.930>There <00:34:48.370>you <00:34:48.450>go. <00:34:48.970>Now <00:34:49.190>we <00:34:49.350>know. <00:34:49.490>I <00:34:49.590>know <00:34:49.750>a <00:34:49.850>thing <00:34:49.990>or <00:34:50.110>two. <00:34:50.570>You <00:34:50.870>do <00:34:51.050>know <00:34:51.310>a <00:34:51.490>thing <00:34:51.610>or <00:34:51.750>two. <00:34:52.170>Yeah, <00:34:52.710>we <00:34:52.790>should <00:34:52.930>all <00:34:53.130>ask. <00:34:53.630>Let's <00:34:54.070>ask <00:34:54.430>Robert <00:34:55.030>a <00:34:55.250>random <00:34:55.650>question. 105 00:34:58.130 --> 00:35:35.960 I <00:34:58.610>managed <00:34:59.090>to <00:34:59.330>smuggle <00:35:00.090>that <00:35:00.330>in. <00:35:01.570>Okay, <00:35:02.410>right. <00:35:02.770>Maybe <00:35:03.170>this <00:35:03.350>will <00:35:03.430>be <00:35:03.510>the <00:35:03.610>last <00:35:03.810>one <00:35:03.950>that <00:35:04.090>gets <00:35:04.250>covered <00:35:04.530>before <00:35:04.850>Robert <00:35:05.190>has <00:35:05.390>to <00:35:05.510>depart. <00:35:05.850>Let's <00:35:06.010>have <00:35:06.130>a <00:35:06.210>little <00:35:06.330>look. <00:35:07.450>I <00:35:07.930>obviously <00:35:08.290>don't <00:35:08.550>live <00:35:08.690>in <00:35:08.810>the <00:35:08.910>US, <00:35:09.150>but <00:35:09.530>it <00:35:09.690>was <00:35:09.930>made <00:35:10.290>clear <00:35:10.830>to <00:35:11.030>me <00:35:11.210>by <00:35:11.530>the <00:35:11.950>tidal <00:35:12.550>wave <00:35:12.830>of <00:35:13.030>news <00:35:13.410>that <00:35:13.710>the <00:35:14.210>world <00:35:14.590>can't <00:35:14.870>seem <00:35:15.030>to <00:35:15.190>avoid <00:35:15.470>that <00:35:15.650>there <00:35:15.790>were <00:35:15.930>elections <00:35:16.370>last <00:35:16.770>week <00:35:17.030>in <00:35:17.230>the <00:35:17.330>US. <00:35:17.690>Turns <00:35:18.970>out <00:35:19.210>quite <00:35:19.410>a <00:35:19.550>lot <00:35:19.650>of <00:35:19.790>the <00:35:20.190>the <00:35:20.750>channels <00:35:21.250>that <00:35:21.730>cover <00:35:22.470>that. <00:35:23.200>Be <00:35:23.660>that <00:35:23.840>news <00:35:24.200>organizations <00:35:24.880>or <00:35:25.240>maybe <00:35:25.620>even, <00:35:26.180>you <00:35:26.320>know, <00:35:26.480>some <00:35:26.620>of <00:35:26.720>the <00:35:26.820>political <00:35:27.360>parties <00:35:27.800>themselves, <00:35:28.360>I <00:35:28.420>don't <00:35:28.600>know, <00:35:28.960>are <00:35:29.740>using <00:35:30.060>WordPress <00:35:30.420>for <00:35:30.760>their <00:35:30.920>websites <00:35:31.420>and <00:35:32.080>many <00:35:32.740>of <00:35:32.860>those, <00:35:33.340>for <00:35:33.420>obvious <00:35:33.720>reasons, <00:35:34.200>will <00:35:34.320>be <00:35:34.480>on <00:35:34.600>the <00:35:34.700>VIP <00:35:35.140>infrastructure. 106 00:35:36.360 --> 00:36:03.480 And this was just a little post from VIP called, They Carried the News on Election Night, WordPress VIP Carried Them, and just some little stats which I just thought was interesting.

I mean, basically the same point that Marcus made a minute ago. So, yeah. And then I use the events calendar in that bundle only. I do not need the rest. No sense to pay for it all. That's Anne-Marie. 132 00:47:30.500 --> 00:47:58.780 And then, here we go, WebDUK, they're probably trying to make up for the drop in revenue from their slow plug-in sales in the current climate, but this sounds like it might be counterproductive. Bingo. Okay. I kind of agree with what Courtney was saying, just reading Ray's article and kind of seeing what she's quoted from Jack Kettering about basically trying to, let's see what the quote is. 133 00:47:58.780 --> 00:48:39.395 Bingo. There's a quote from Jack right at the bottom, isn't there? Yeah, a whole bunch. So it says like, every plug-in that has to be consistently updated is an engineer's time where they have to keep it in line with WordPress core requirements, blah, blah, blah. Nexus was now supporting a little over 60 versions. They expect the number to fall below 10 once all customers had moved. Blah, blah, blah. That frees up a huge amount of resources for building new features and functionality. I think that's kind of the key. That frees up a huge

amount of resources and AI, basically. So I think it just seems like they're cost-cutting and trying to move those resources. 134 00:48:39.395 --> 00:49:12.055 I <00:48:39.955>mean, <00:48:40.155>I <00:48:40.215>can <00:48:40.355>totally <00:48:40.535>see <00:48:40.775>it <00:48:40.895>from <00:48:41.055>a <00:48:41.155>business <00:48:41.415>point <00:48:41.655>of <00:48:41.775>view. <00:48:42.075>That <00:48:42.395>all <00:48:42.835>stacks <00:48:43.235>up, <00:48:43.595>doesn't <00:48:43.735>it? <00:48:43.975>But <00:48:44.115>I <00:48:44.455>guess, <00:48:44.915>you <00:48:45.095>know, <00:48:45.295>if <00:48:45.415>you <00:48:45.615>annoy <00:48:45.935>your <00:48:46.135>user <00:48:46.375>base <00:48:46.735>whilst <00:48:47.515>trying <00:48:47.755>to <00:48:47.915>grow <00:48:48.115>your <00:48:48.255>business, <00:48:48.835>then <00:48:49.055>let's <00:48:50.915>see <00:48:51.035>how <00:48:51.175>that <00:48:51.335>works <00:48:51.615>out. <00:48:51.935>So <00:48:52.035>anyway, <00:48:52.575>you <00:48:52.815>know, <00:48:53.015>I'm <00:48:53.235>not <00:48:53.375>trying <00:48:53.615>to <00:48:53.835>put <00:48:54.695>them <00:48:54.795>out <00:48:54.935>of <00:48:55.015>business <00:48:55.275>or <00:48:55.575>be <00:48:55.735>horrible, <00:48:56.055>but <00:48:56.335>it <00:48:56.455>does <00:48:56.635>seem <00:48:56.895>very <00:48:57.315>strangely <00:48:58.595>communicated <00:48:59.335>and <00:48:59.635>Cami's <00:49:00.575>experience <00:49:01.495>there <00:49:01.755>would <00:49:01.955>seem <00:49:02.135>to <00:49:02.315>bear <00:49:02.595>that <00:49:02.875>out. <00:49:03.135>But <00:49:03.455>you <00:49:03.875>can <00:49:03.975>go <00:49:04.055>check <00:49:04.275>it <00:49:04.375>out <00:49:04.435>for <00:49:04.575>yourself. <00:49:04.995>It's <00:49:05.115>on <00:49:05.355>Ray's <00:49:05.995>repository. <00:49:07.795>And <00:49:08.275>this <00:49:08.515>article <00:49:08.855>was <00:49:09.095>yesterday. <00:49:09.795>No, <00:49:10.075>not <00:49:10.215>yesterday. <00:49:10.715>5th <00:49:10.975>of <00:49:11.115>May. <00:49:11.615>November. 135 00:49:13.655 --> 00:49:44.385 I can barely speak.

Quick hat tip to Mr. Westgard. We spoke about him earlier. Mark Westgard, he's put a... I wanted to keep the theme of random going. Yeah. So he dropped this, a random text detection system.

But the message itself is obviously written by an AI because it's following this. You know, I've got a plug-in, it does this, da-da-da-da-da, and on it goes. And you can tell that no human's been in touch with that email at any point. So that then leads me to this one, which is right at the end, but I'll loop it in now. This is the GoDaddy CEO who's saying that he won't read work that is written by an AI. And I am starting to have the same intuition. If I detect that something has been written by an AI, so these contact forms are a perfect point in case. 187 01:07:13.985 --> 01:08:02.190 They have legitimate links, they go to legitimate plug-ins by legitimate people who legitimately want to fill out the form, but they've got an AI to write the email. And I just think, you know, that's almost you basically saying, I can't be bothered, but you should be. So, I'm going to take one second to write an email that it's going to take you three minutes to read, and I think there's something a bit skewed and a bit messed up about that transactional nature in the head of the person thinking, yeah, that's a reasonable thing to do. I don't think it is, and I think, increasingly, I'm going to take the opinion that if I detect it's written by an AI, it's just going to go in the bin without a reply. 188 01:08:03.530 --> 01:08:06.550 Leslie's <01:08:03.930>nodding. <01:08:04.550>Yeah? <01:08:04.850>Similar? <01:08:05.390>You <01:08:05.490>got <01:08:05.630>the <01:08:05.750>same <01:08:05.950>intuitions? 189 01:08:07.330 --> 01:08:27.930 No, <01:08:07.810>I <01:08:07.910>just <01:08:08.070>like <01:08:08.270>how <01:08:08.670>you <01:08:09.430>thought <01:08:09.630>about <01:08:09.850>it. <01:08:11.250>Yeah, <01:08:11.770>in <01:08:11.910>terms <01:08:12.190>of <01:08:12.350>the <01:08:12.470>amount <01:08:12.670>of <01:08:12.790>time <01:08:13.010>it <01:08:13.190>takes, <01:08:13.650>right? <01:08:14.610>Yeah, <01:08:15.150>yeah. <01:08:15.430>It's <01:08:15.550>like, <01:08:16.130>they <01:08:16.270>want <01:08:17.010>something <01:08:17.310>from <01:08:17.530>you, <01:08:17.850>but <01:08:17.910>they <01:08:18.050>spent <01:08:18.370>five <01:08:18.970>seconds <01:08:19.410>asking <01:08:19.950>AI <01:08:20.330>to <01:08:20.530>write <01:08:20.730>a <01:08:21.270>crappy <01:08:21.610>email, <01:08:22.230>but <01:08:22.570>then <01:08:22.690>they <01:08:22.810>want <01:08:22.950>you <01:08:23.090>to <01:08:23.250>spend <01:08:23.450>the <01:08:23.650>one <01:08:23.810>hour <01:08:24.050>or <01:08:24.290>two <01:08:24.390>hours <01:08:24.870>to <01:08:25.550>do <01:08:25.850>whatever <01:08:26.230>it <01:08:26.450>is <01:08:26.550>that <01:08:26.690>they <01:08:26.830>want <01:08:26.970>you <01:08:27.090>to <01:08:27.190>do, <01:08:27.790>right? 190 01:08:27.930 --> 01:09:09.150 And here's the interesting intuition, sorry, the interesting information I also have. They basically drop simultaneously into the Tavern website. Bye. And WP Builds website. So they've obviously been written. WP Tavern, WP Builds have got on an email list somewhere, which has been, you know, lots of plug-in people are using. Drops into both of them within like 10 seconds or 15 seconds, something like that. It drops into them both and, you know, and you just sort of think, gosh, you know, you probably get a lot further just by reaching out and actually having a conversation than by dropping some generic boilerplate. 191 01:09:09.150 --> 01:09:34.490 And <01:09:09.490>if
