What hosting should feel like...nothing! https://pressable.com/wpminute This episode of The WP Minute is a conversation with Raquel about why PressConf EU is coming to Europe — and why she thinks the WordPress community needs it right now. Raquel talks about the lack of spaces where European WordPress professionals can openly discuss money, business, and the challenges facing the industry. Matt and Raquel also dig into the growing pressure around WordPress, the temptation to play it safe, and why making a deliberate choice about the future of your business matters. PressConf EU is about putting those conversations on the table — honestly, openly, and without everything being recorded.
