    POD 47 - Surfing the AI Tsunami - with Michael Wells

    In this episode, I sit down with Michael Wells, founder of Sygnal Technologies. We get into reverse proxies, code components, Webflow Cloud, AppGen and where the platform is heading. But the conversation goes further than that. Michael has been watching AI bots outnumber human visitors on his sites for over a year now, and he has a lot to say about what that means for the web.

    POD 45 - This Might Be the Best Way to Land a Job at Webflow - with Matthew P Munger

    In this episode, I sit down with Matthew Munger, Senior Release Operations Manager at Webflow. Matthew's road to Webflow was anything but straight. He went from graphic design and film production to freelancing in Lesotho with 0.3 megabit internet, before becoming a forum moderator, a beta tester, and eventually a Webflow employee. We talk about his multiple roles inside Webflow, what it actually takes to get hired there, the chaos behind the Webflow Conf keynote demos, and what the future of the platform looks like from the inside.

    POD 43 - Building and Scaling a Webflow Agency - with Uros Mikic

    I sat down with Uros Mikic, CEO and founder of Flow Ninja, to talk about what it really takes to build and scale a Webflow agency. We cover sales without shortcuts, why positioning still matters, how Flow Ninja grew from small freelance projects to enterprise clients, and why founders do not need to stay on sales calls forever. We also get into branding in the age of AI, value based pricing, enterprise Webflow projects, and what actually differentiates agencies today. A practical conversation for anyone building or growing an agency on Webflow.
