#571 WP-Tonic Show With Special Guest Paul Lacey
Paul is proud to have completed The Witcher 3 multiple times. In real life, He has a lovely wife and 2 awesome kids to play Fortnite with every day in lockdown. His little Cavapoo dog Ellie is his soulmate, and he has 3 cats and a chicken (sadly one of the chickens had to be put to sleep today so we're down to 1, but plan to get some fertilized bantam eggs for Mabel (surviving chicken) to hopefully get broody over (and hopefully not just eat). A design & UX expert, Paul has been working with WordPress for over 15 years but joined the community side of things in 2016 after attending his first WordPress meetup in Birmingham. Since then he's been involved in all sorts of things WordPress sharing insights on design, development in communities and videos, talking on Podcast interviews, on stage at agency events, WordPress meetups and more recently online summits - talking about WordPress development, UX and design. More recently Paul is probably better known for his talks in and around his journey through agency life and mental health struggles, and of course known as the co-host for THE WORLD'S MOST POPULAR WORDPRESS PANEL SHOW (apparently right?) This Week in WordPress. Paul has an unhealthy admiration of Matt Medieros. https://www.wpelevation.com/finding-success-and-maintaining-your-mental-health-with-paul-lacey/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgnEXOwF-uM
