Today JoomStew Radio welcomes back Jen Kramer of Joomla4Web, and introduces our listeners to Justin Kerr of Prototaph.

One lives in the big city of Chicago and meets clients face to face all the time, and the other is out in the country of New England and almost never sits across the table from a client. Both freelancers are very successful and business is booming. All three JoomStew cohosts learned a lot, and we're sure that you will too!
