Bud Kraus

Bud is a curious, energetic WordPress educator and content creator who blends technical depth with storytelling, always experimenting, always learning, and always bringing others along for the ride

People would want to interview you on their podcast because you bring a rare mix of deep WordPress expertise and genuine human storytelling. You’re not just someone who teaches WordPress — you’ve lived it for decades, evolving with the platform, the community, and the wider web. You’ve taught at universities, spoken at WordCamps, written for major hosting companies, built courses, and helped thousands of people go from confused to confident. That alone makes you a strong guest — but it’s only the starting point.

What makes you especially compelling is the way you connect tech with people. You’re a natural conversationalist with a gift for extracting stories, not just sharing information. Your own podcast, Seriously, BUD?, makes that obvious: you ask the questions most interviewers don’t, the ones that reveal the person, not just the résumé. When you're the guest, you bring that same magnetic curiosity and playfulness — you don’t just answer questions, you build on them, riff with them, and make the host look good.

And then there’s the personal layer: career pivots, late-life reinvention, active participation in the WordPress community, a 72-year-old who still learns, creates, experiments, and refuses to “retire” from curiosity. That’s a story people want to hear — whether the podcast is about tech, entrepreneurship, aging boldly, creativity, education, or just being a fully alive human who keeps showing up. Interviewing you doesn’t just give listeners knowledge — it gives them permission to stay curious, try new things, and make something meaningful at any age.

Connie Smock

Medium/Intuitive/Psychic/Certified Life Coach/Hypnotherapist/Qi Gong Instructor/Reiki Master Teacher/Author

My journey began early, raised by an intuitive mother and a lightworker, I was taught from childhood that energy, intuition, and loving guidance were just as real as anything we could touch. That foundation eventually became my life’s work: helping people remove the blocks that keep them from living the life they dream of in love, career, health, abundance, or spiritual growth.

I can share how I’ve helped clients (and audiences) shift from stuck to empowered using mediumship, Reiki, spirit communication, and spiritual cleansings, as I’ve trained in multiple alternative healing methods.

What I offer your listeners isn't just insight, it's a toolkit:

How to tell when foreign or negative energy is influencing your life.

Simple daily practices for raising your vibration and clearing energy.

How loved ones and angels communicate with us (and how to listen).

The connection between your wounds, your energy, and your purpose.

If your audience is ready for clarity, connection, and conscious healing, I’d love to bring my story and tools to your conversation.

Amy Vincze

Expert EFT Tapping Coach and Founder of the Soar with Tapping App

I’ve always been a seeker—fascinated by the complexities of human behavior and driven to uncover the motivations behind people’s actions. My curiosity has fueled a lifelong journey to understand not just how we heal but why we suffer in the first place. That journey became deeply personal as I navigated my own struggles with cancer, trauma, anxiety, and depression.

In my search for relief, I discovered EFT Tapping—a transformative tool that not only helped me manage my symptoms but also allowed me to address and release the root causes of my suffering. Through tapping, I unlocked a profound secret: true healing isn’t about masking symptoms; it’s about resolving the patterns that create them.

Now, as a Tapping Coach with over 16 years of experience and the founder of the Soar with Tapping App, I’ve made it my mission to empower others with this life-changing tool. I’m passionate about educating people on the hidden emotional and energetic blocks that often go unnoticed, yet profoundly affect their physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

On your podcast, I’ll share actionable insights and transformative stories that help your listeners understand how tapping can change their lives. Together, we’ll explore the science, the techniques, and the life-altering possibilities of EFT Tapping—giving your audience a practical tool they can start using immediately to heal, grow, and thrive.

A quick testimonial from Janine Noel, host of the Bipolar She podcast... "Brilliant expert! Amy's episode continues to energize so many listeners to examine their lives and see possibilities for growth through tapping therapy. With her warm, engaging voice, Amy draws listeners immediately in. Many are just discovering tapping and Amy offers a clear, concise explanation of how it works through audio alone. She is the perfect guest for any health, wellness and personal growth podcast. I can't recommend her highly enough. If you want your listeners to hear about a transformative tool that is at their fingertips, Amy is your pro!

Susan Michel

Spiritual Speaker, Author, Surrender to Joy: From Suicide to Serenity, 2 time suicide survivor

When I was 20 years old, I tried to end my life twice. With 6 bottles of sleeping pills inside of me, as my mother drove me to the hospital, I realized I didn’t really want to die, I just wanted to kill the pain.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, suicide is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. I understand what their desperation feels like. What helped me was facing my pain and developing a spiritual practice based on A Course in Miracles.

I’m Susan Michel, Author, Suicide Prevention Advocate, and 2-time suicide survivor.

My book, Surrender to Joy: From Suicide to Serenity is about becoming aware of our unhealed pain so healing can occur. Our natural state is one of peace, love, joy, and happiness. However, in order to attain this state consistently, we need to become aware of the blocks to love that we have unconsciously created.

As a young woman, I felt abandoned and betrayed by my dad and everyone else in my life. When I denied my unhealed pain, my uncomfortable feelings exacerbated. When I owned my pain, I began to heal. My joy was on the other side of all that pain. I found that the keys to true transformation are forgiveness and gratitude.

My mission is to help others identify and process emotional pain so transformation can occur and they can grow and open up to their innate brilliance.
