This week I’m joined by Julia Taylor of GeekPack to talk all about building community around your web design business!


Julia is a self-taught web developer, an advocate of location independence, women empowerer, and founder of GeekPack, a community that teaches highly valuable technological and business-building skills so that women & girls can have the confidence to believe that anything is possible to achieve.

“‘What do I wish that I’d had?’ And that’s the only way that I know how to teach.” - Julia Taylor


3 key ideas from my conversation with Julia:

  • Just getting started will help you realize that it’s not as hard as you thought it would be.
  • Having a strong “why” and the fulfillment in helping others discover it kept her going through impostor syndrome.
  • She built her courses on combining skills with community - what she wished she had when she started her journey.


“I love those, that ‘Aha!’ moment, that ‘It’s not as hard as I thought. It’s actually fun.’ Reading those comments, that’s what gets me up in the morning.” - Julia Taylor

We also talk about how Julia:

  • Started her journey in remote work before it was “normal” in order to travel in an RV.
  • Struggled with impostor syndrome and moments of doubt, but found the courage to keep going anyway.
  • Has a very exciting announcement you won’t want to miss!
