Podcast appearances and mentions of scott buscemi

In episode 2 of the Betapixels Podcast, I'm joined by the one and only Scott Buscemi, photographer and videographer extraordinaire. We start out nice and easy with the ever important "Gear Talk" and quickly fall into the Zeiss ZX1 -- the wonderfully overpriced camera that tries oh so hard and yet comes up oh so short. And of course, there's a healthy amount of loosely related but ultimately side quest chatter too. Strap in and enjoy!

This week, on WP-Tonic EP118, we're joined by Scott Buscemi, founder of Luminary Web Strategies, a WordPress agency that specializes in WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads integrations. Scott shares some of his extensive personal insights about what makes a great e-commerce site, and growing an e-commerce centered agency.
