About the Episode:
In today’s episode, we’re talking to Josh Strebel, the web developer turned WordPress hosting pioneer and CEO of Pagely, the first (and still one of the most popular) managed WordPress hosting platforms.

In college, Josh studied communications and visual design, then on the day after he graduated in 2003, he and his girlfriend got married. That next week, they decided to go into business together doing website design & development in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Over the years, they built their web development business together, and he dabbled in several side projects ranging from a podcast advertising network, to an automated website builder, a social media network, and eventually Pagely—what’s now become a $10 Million dollar company.
