I met Trent Lapinski from CyberChimps at Pressnomics in 2013 and I was very impressed by his commitment to his customers and his passion for his startup company. In between speakers at Pressnomics, Trent was designing themes on his MacBook and it was clear that he just loves what he does. We spoke a lot about where WordPress is headed and the challenges theme companies face (support, support and support). Trent is a very ambitious entrepreneur who is kicking some serious goals in the WordPress space and he is very open and transparent about his journey. We are so lucky to be a part of the WordPress business community because you don’t get this type of open communication in other industries.
Trent is giving away a pro copy of the Responsive theme from CyberChimps valued at $40 so watch the interview for details on how to enter.
The highlights of this episode include
You can reach out and thank Trent on Twitter. Go on, he’s a really nice guy.
Trent suggested I interview somebody outside the WordPress space and mentioned perhaps somebody from Pressnomics 2013 and I remember being inspired by Maria Ogneva, community gal at Salesforce . Maria, keep your eyes on your inbox.

I love the Cyberchimps site. If they could release a theme that includes most if not all the custom styling (as possible options), it would be tremendous!
As a self-taught-but-nowhere-near-an-expert coder, that studies other sites for inspiration, that would be my only suggestion, because Cyberchimps themes AND support are great!
Another awesome interview. This has become my weekly WP inspiration / learn from others podcast. Thanks Trent for sharing your experience and wisdom!
Thanks Yael – I’m glad you find the podcast useful.
Can I ask a favour? I’d love it if you could give us an honest review on iTunes:

Thanks for your support. I really appreciate it.
Sure thing, just submitted a review (may be under my US name instead of my Israeli name but submitted review none the less 🙂
Real WYSIWG in the Dashboard. So a style sheet for TinyMCE that is automatically updated when headers and fonts in the theme are changed
