\nAndrew Norcross<\/a><\/b> is speaking on Build Something Today<\/a><\/b> at WordCamp Minneapolis.<\/div>\n

What inspired or motivated you to give this talk at WordCamp?<\/h2>\n

Minneapolis has always been a city I’ve enjoyed visiting, and the people there have always supported the WordCamp events in Florida that I’ve been a part of. In addition, seeing the theme of this camp in particular caught my attention as it’s something new, and I wanted to be a part of it.<\/p>\n

How do you \u201ccreate intention\u201d in your job, career, or life?<\/h2>\n

By focusing on the things I truly care about, and letting the rest take a backseat. So many things fight for your time and attention, and without being a real gatekeeper to your own time you simply cannot dedicate yourself to anything.<\/p>\n

If you were a WordPress Plugin, what Plugin would you be and why?<\/h2>\n

Probably WordPress FAQ Manager, because I seem to have an endless amount of useless facts stored in my head.<\/p>\n

If you were not doing your current job, what profession would you be in and why?<\/h2>\n

LEGO Master Builder. Even if I wasn’t getting paid, I’d probably figure out a way to do that.<\/p>\n

What professional and\/or research resource(s) can’t you live without?<\/h2>\n

My network of friends. There’s simply so much information out there you can’t keep up if you tried, but having a close group of people you know and trust allows you to filter through it and find the things that are relevant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
