Intro: Hey everybody, Joe Casabona here. Welcome to Episode 99 of How I Built It. Today I’m talking to Joe Howard of WP Buffs, and we talk about a whole bunch of things. How he built WP Buffs, how he builds company culture with a completely global and remote company, we talk a little bit about building his courses out and things like that.
He has a lot of good recommended reading for us. I enjoyed this conversation, and I think you will too. A couple of announcements before that. Next week is the 100th episode of How I Built It. I’m ecstatic about that. It seems like a big milestone, 100 episodes. I’m very happy to be able to do this, and I’ll talk about that a bit more, but next week’s episode will be a little bit different. It’ll be just me, and I’ll be talking about how I built How I Built It.
I haven’t recorded that episode yet, so if you’re listening and you have any questions, feel free to submit them on the contact form over at HowIBuilt.it or on Twitter @jcasabona.

It’s over at HowIBuilt.it/course, and I tell you everything you need to know.

Joe C: I’m happy to have you on the show. You’re taller, so you could be Joe number one, and I’ll be Joe number two.
Joe H: Things One and Thing 2.
Joe C: Exactly. Joe and I met at a WordCamp some time ago. We’re both in the relatively local area to each other, you’re in the DC area, and I’m in the Philadelphia area. We’ve connected a couple of times, and I’m excited to have you on the show talking about your company WP Buffs. Why don’t you tell us a little bit about who you are, and what you do?
Joe H: For sure. I’m Joe Howard, and I started a company called WP Buffs. We fully manage WordPress websites. We work with small businesses, entrepreneurs, people who run their own website have built their own website and then realize,
