# How can Learn WordPress help when you hire freelancers? Kitchen Sink WP 390

Can Learn WordPress help a business owner who hires freelancers, not just people learning to build? That was the thread of my interview with [Adam Silver](https://kitchensinkwp.com/about/)friendcolleague on Kitchen Sink WP, episode 390. In fact, I was the interview guest.

First, the show runs in segments. To begin, Adam opened with news: Newfold Digital acquiring Yoast SEO and Automattic investing 30 million dollars in Titan, a business email startup. Then my interview was segment two. Also, the show notes list the tools I named, Screenflow, Snagit and Slack, and point listeners to the Make WordPress site.

## 🧪 Why Learn WordPress matters when hiring freelancers

So if you hire a freelancer, a shared vocabulary helps you write a clearer brief and judge the work. [Learn WordPress](https://learn.wordpress.org/) offers free lessons and courses you can point a new team member or a client to before the project starts. That way, you and the freelancer start from the same words.

## 🗓️ Archival note

Kitchen Sink WP released this episode on August 16, 2021. Later, on November 9, 2026, I expanded this post from the publisher’s show notes and my original note. No transcript exists, and I haven’t relistened, so this summary stays with what the show notes and my note say.
