Picking locks and attending talks - #PressPause mini podcast series

Mika has been involved with WordPress for about two years. Prior to that she was teaching small business owners how to build their websites. This led her to start attending WordPress meetups and WordCamps; she’s been to three WordCamps thus far. Today she tells us her story about a time at WordCamp Phoenix this year. She found the Wordfence stall where they were getting people to pick locks. Having done this before, she felt that this would be easy, but it wasn’t (on the first day). She failed to pick any, but came back the next day to have another go and did it really fast. But WordCamps are not all about picking locks, and Mika has other memories about talks that she’s attended which inspired her. The talks were about freelancing and blogging as well as distributed working and how to do this without feeling isolated. This is an important message. You don’t need feel alone if you’re a WordPresser. You can go to WordCamps and get yourself into the community, to get some support, to hang around with people just like you.
