How do you celebrate a dozen episodes of Genesis Office Hours? Why, you just have Brian Gardner on! Brian Gardner is the founder of StudioPress and arguably the man who started the custom theme market. He’s a writer, designer, runner, coder, and all-around man of internet interest.
As usual, we opened up the chat room and great questions came forth. Eighty live viewers had the opportunity to ask Brian questions about StudioPress, Copyblogger, New Rainmaker, and even Starbucks – and he answered all!
Below are the questions we covered and some links mentioned during the show. In case you missed the announcement last week, Genesis Office Hours is now available on iTunes and Soundcloud.
