Today’s guest is the lovely and bubbly Michelle Frechette. Michelle does a little bit of everything: coaching, public speaking, website evaluation, writing, podcasting, and she is a WordPress expert. Her mission is to help people and she accomplishes this by working with non-profits around the world. 

In this episode, Matt talks with Michelle about the importance of building a community. They share stories and tips, including the launch and journey of Michelle’s podcast (“WP Coffee Talk”), different types of community engagement, and how to best use that engagement for the benefit of your listeners as well as yourself. They also talk about the role that James Lipton and Inside the Actors Studio played in Michelle’s podcast and how podcasting isn’t like Field of Dreams.
