A Word From The Boss

The real power behind the yoga ball at TWiT is our CEO, Lisa Kentzell. She just posted a summary of what she did before she joined TWiT over on her blog at lisakentzell.com. I didn’t even know half this stuff.

She’s also been posting a bunch of great pictures on her Google+ page – it’s worth circling her.

Happy 8th Birthday, TWiT!

Today marks eight years since TWiT’s first netcast. Can you believe it?   What began as a one-off roundtable discussion between friends has grown into a network of 25 shows, producing over 30 hours of audio and video content each week. The technology has certainly evolved, and TWiT has too: Looking back at our years in the TWiT Cottage compared to the last two in the Brickhouse, it’s really amazing how far we’ve come!   Of course, we never would have made it this far without your support. Thank you for listening and watching all these years. We’re excited about the future, and hope you’ll continue with us on this journey.   Stay tuned!   Leo & Lisa
