63: Val Geisler on Communicating with your Audience

This week we diverge from our typical technical focus to talk about communication.

Many of you are developing a product. Whether that be an open source library, course material on your favorite framework, or your skills a freelance developer — you are selling something.

Selling requires more than great technical skills. It requires strong communication.

Today we sit with Val Geisler — founder of Fix My Churn. We talk about communication thru email,
Why it’s critical for building and branding your business,
And how we get started.

I believe it has the potential to change your career.
