Episode Synopsis

In this episode of the LMScast podcast, Brad Touesnard of Delicious Brains shares his story of founding several products for WordPress developers. Brad has also created a mastermind ski retreat called Big Snow Tiny Conf, and he shares the genesis of that and some great tips for how you could start a mastermind program to connect with others in your space.

Working online can be isolating, especially if you’re located remotely where there are not a lot of people working from home in your local area. In heavily populated areas there are often WordPress tech meetups and networking events that you can check out. But if you’re located remotely, there are some alternatives to look into. A remote online mastermind can be a great way to connect, and a yearly retreat is another great tool to consider.

Chris and Brad dive into Brad’s four main products built for WordPress developers at Delicious Brains. This is a high-level breakdown of what the products can do for you:
WP Migrate DB Pro: copy your WordPress website database over to another website.
WP Offload Media: host your media files (images, PDFs, etc.) on a service such as Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage and embed it on your website to improve website speed.
WP Offload SES: easily send emails through your site via Amazon SES.
SpinupWP: cloud-based server control panel that allows you to create websites without manually installing WordPress and going through the entire setup.

Big Snow Tiny Conf is a mastermind event Brad created where he gets together with other business owners to snowboard, network, and share ideas about business with one another. He breaks down how he put that event together in this episode.

You can find out more about Brad and the developments he has going on at DeliciousBrains.com and BigSnowTinyConf.com. We also discussed Brian Casel who has been featured on the LMScast, so be sure to find that along with the interview with Ken Wallace of MastermindJam. Thanks for joining us!
