🧭 What’s in the episode on hiring freelancers?
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.
📝 What I wrote when it aired
Adam Silver and I chat about how entrepreneurs and website builders can use Learn.WordPress.org when hiring freelancers. I’ve been a long-time listener of Kitchen Sink WP and always enjoy chatting with Adam. Take a listen.
🧪 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 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.
