Happy Lively Show Day!
I’d like to ask you a question about an idea I am considering.
A few people have been asking for more podcast episodes, so…
I’m thinking about making an audio version of the written posts on Tuesdays, too. Which means I’d still post the content in writing (like normal) and I’d read the Tuesday post aloud as a short podcast episode. Thursday’s longer interview episodes would remain unchanged.
This would be for those who prefer to listen to audio, or for those who want both written and audio options for blog posts that come out on Tuesdays.
Is this something you’d like?
I might give it a try in the upcoming weeks if the response is positive overall (so far, people have been really excited about it on Facebook and Instagram).
Thanks for your thoughts on this!
Now, it’s time to get on to today’s episode with Victoria Smith of SF Girl By Bay!
Though I’ve always admired Victoria’s wonderful (and very popular) design blog, after having her on the show, I adore her even more!
She is such a sweet and genuine person.
We are talking about blogging, making friends online, her upcoming book, TED Talks, and more.
Let’s go to the show!

Just subscribed to your podcast & downloaded older episodes as well. I love consuming content via audio, it’s so easy to do on the go. Hope you keep up the podcasting 🙂

I’m glad you enjoyed it, Christina. : )
Well put, Angela. I’m glad you connected with Victoria’s story and awesomeness. : )
Hi Jess,
I wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying this series. I listen to your podcasts while working in my studio and always learn something new. You do such a wonderful job with these interviews. I am sure they take a considerable amount of time to orchestrate with such rich content which I appreciate. I particularly loved this interview with Victoria and hearing her story as well as her thoughts on collaboration, blogging, pinterest and other social media outlets. Happy day to you! Laura 🙂
That is so wonderful to hear, Laura! I’m glad you like them (and yes, they do take a long time to make, so I appreciate the kind words!). : )
Would you be up for leaving a review on iTunes (if you haven’t already)? It would really mean a lot to me!
