Never been to Minneapolis, so Minnesota will be another state for me to check off the list.<\/p>\n<h2>How do you \u201ccreate intention\u201d in your job, career, or life?<\/h2>\n<p>My Students. I drive them to follow what they want to do and what will make them earn a living at the same time. But they have to work for it. Part of that is attitude. Be honest with your clients and yourself. Your intent will show.<\/p>\n<h2>If you were a WordPress Plugin, what Plugin would you be and why?<\/h2>\n<p>Dare I say it&#8230;Jetpack. Hear me out&#8230;I&#8217;m not necessarily the right person for the job, but I can do a lot of stuff. I might give you the right idea for doing something, though it may not be the ideal way. I can certainly show you something that you probably haven&#8217;t seen before and if not me, I&#8217;ll probably be able to find you someone who does and specializes in what you&#8217;re looking for. I am the connector.<\/p>\n<h2>If you were not doing your current job, what profession would you be in and why?<\/h2>\n<p>Travel Photographer. No question. Everywhere I go, I carry a camera and I love to travel. As I write this, I&#8217;m actually in Mumbai and have already taken a few pictures. Some of the best I&#8217;ve taken have been over the last few years at WordCamps. I&#8217;ve been all over the world and only seen a fraction. But I&#8217;m not done yet&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2>What professional and\/or research resource(s) can&#8217;t you live without?<\/h2>\n<p>Slack\u2014I&#8217;ve always got it fired up and I&#8217;m always learning something. It&#8217;s also one of the few places that I&#8217;ll actually keep quiet most of the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shanta R.
