@jimcarroll how do you start to build the skills to be a great MC or moderator?

@duncanhart Call it 33 years of being on stage, hosting 4 radio shows, doing hundreds of TV interviews and things like that.

@jimcarroll what as your motivation for self hosting Ghost? I’m interested in how you approached the trade-off decision between hosted vs self-hosted.

@jimcarroll have you had any gotchas or snags running your own self hosted Ghost 👻 installation?

@duncanhart @jimcarroll

I am also running Ghost on Hetzner, but using FreeBSD. Ghost was pretty straightforward to get running from the install instructions.

I've spent much more time on email deliverability than Ghost admin.

@greggyb @duncanhart ya, the email setup sucks. a) would be great to have an alternative to Mailgun for subscriber mail and b) configuring admin email is just a pain (i.e. I'm using Amazon SES) (see a). It's not all well documented.

@jimcarroll out of curiosity…. What’s your daily, weekly workflow look like?

@jimcarroll what about prospecting for new clients or opportunities? Or networking in general? How do you factor these in?

@duncanhart I've got multiple speakers bureaus / agents worldwide who know of me and put me into proposals when relevant. A LOT of word of mouth. People finding me organically. I push out a lot of content...
