    How Is AI Changing the Security Arms Race? (with Aaron Campbell)

    AI has made the security arms race move faster than ever. Jesse Friedman sits down with Aaron Campbell, VP of Product at Monarx, to discuss how bad actors now use the same tools as the people defending against them. They explain how AI compresses the time between a vulnerability being disclosed and being exploited in the real world. The conversation covers why layered security remains the gold standard. Aaron shares how Monarx blocked 8.7 trillion attacks last year, with more than half caught at the runtime layer based on behavior rather than known signatures. This matters because AI systems are finding brand new vulnerabilities and exploiting them immediately. Jesse and Aaron also talk about WordCamp US in Phoenix and why it still delivers real value for agencies and hosting companies. From building connections to solving hard problems, they make the case for why sharing knowledge in the WordPress community continues to pay off. This episode is a practical look at security, AI, and the future of hosting.

    How Can Hosts Communicate Security Risks Without Creating Fear? (with Aaron Campbell)

    Security should be a beneficial add-on, not an assumed part of every hosting plan. That is one of the central ideas Aaron Campbell, VP of Product at Monarx, brings to this conversation with Jesse Friedman. Aaron spent 15 years in the hosting world before moving to a company that helps hosts fight malware and bad actors, and he draws a clear line between what a host should secure and what falls to the site owner. Jesse and Aaron work through the metaphor of hosting as a neighborhood. The host keeps the streets clean and the infrastructure secure, but there is only so much they can do when a site owner uses a weak password or hands out admin access without thinking. They talk about how the low barrier to entry in WordPress created millions of users who never learned the basics of staying safe online. The two also look at how AI could help close that education gap. Aaron shares how Monarx uses language models to turn technical breach data into plain words that regular people can act on. Anyone running a hosting company or building WordPress products will find useful ideas here about positioning security, building customer trust, and meeting users where they are.

It is one of the few places where you can talk directly to the people building the future of the web.

Megan and Carol describe how a single hotel lobby conversation last year turned into a daily working relationship. That kind of story captures what makes this community different.

    What Does It Actually Take to Pull Off WordCamp US? (with the WordCamp US Team)

    WordCamp US keeps ticket prices low on purpose, and this episode explains why. Jesse Friedman sits down with organizers Caroline Harrison, Megan Marcel, and Carol Stambaugh to talk about accessibility, community, and the work that goes into a great event. Megan Marcel describes the sponsor support that lets the team focus on getting people in the door rather than turning a profit, along with perks like daily lunches, a happiness bar for one-on-one WordPress help, and speakers you can meet in the coffee line. Caroline Harrison talks about the volunteer experience and the friendships that form on the organizing team. Carol Stambaugh shares a story from WordCamp Phoenix about an attendee who found more value here than at a conference costing two thousand dollars. There is also a candid section for hosting companies. Carol, an agency owner herself, explains what she looks for in a host, including watchdog tools, easy access to logs, and the freedom to move on and off a platform. She offers a smart approach to networking on the floor by asking customers about both their horror stories and their success stories. It's a valuable episode for hosting professionals and event-goers alike. RadiateHUEWordCamp US 2026WordCamp Phoenix Click here to watch a video of this episode.

    What's Driving the Agency Delivery Problem in WordPress? (with Vito Peleg)

    Roughly 75 percent of agencies say they've already lost work to AI, according to a recent industry survey. Jesse Friedman and Vito Peleg of Atarim use that reality as a starting point for a candid conversation about where agencies stand today and how they can respond instead of falling behind. Vito shares his background, from building websites on GeoCities and touring Europe as a musician to founding Atarim, which now serves more than 50,000 agencies. He was one of the first people to access GPT-2 through the API and built one of the earliest AI tools for WordPress in 2020. That long view gives him a grounded perspective on what AI can and can't do for creative teams. Listeners will hear practical thinking on the delivery problem, automated reviews, and how to frame AI as a team you manage rather than a replacement for your talent. Jesse and Vito close on a clear point for anyone in the hosting and agency space. If work is moving to AI, the smart move is to bring it in-house and hold it to your own standard.

    Can AI Help Us Bring Back the Fun, Weird Web?

    The web lost its sense of fun somewhere along the way, and Nick Hamze wants it back. In this episode of Impressive Hosting, he and Jesse Friedman trade ideas about a future where websites are an expression of both the creator and the visitor, not a sea of beige and sans-serif sameness. They riff on RSS, semantic content, and the idea of layering your own design over any page you visit. Imagine stripping away ads, keeping the content, and viewing the entire web through a lens you built yourself. They even revisit Microsoft Bob and picture a reader that presents blog posts like cable access television. Underneath the playfulness is a serious point about the cost of universal solutions: the same theme, the same textbook, and the same website for everyone strips away value. This is a forward-looking conversation for anyone thinking about what WordPress, hosting, and the open web could become.
