Chuck Joiner talks to two more Macstock 2016 speakers in the next installment of The Road to Macstock on MacVoices!
On The Road to Macstock, Jodi Spangler and Melissa Davis talk about their team presentation that will focus on senior citizens and computing. Both are independent Apple consultants, but often go far beyond those boundaries. How being women affects what they do, their approach to servicing their clients, and some surprising favorite tools for being successful business people are all part of the conversation.

In addition to lunch on Saturday and Barry’s Midwest Mac BBQ Saturday night, when we added a second day this year, I wanted to put together a little continental breakfast for everyone on Sunday, but the feedback I’ve been getting tells me that most folks aren’t terribly interested in a continental breakfast, either because your hotels offer very similar breakfasts or you were looking for something a bit healthier than sweet cakes. Many of you were also worried you wouldn’t get to the conference center before the breakfast was over!
So with that in mind, I spoke with the great folks at MCC’s Luecht Conference Center and came up with a custom substitute that allows us to “pivot” a bit and switch over from a limited-serving-time continental breakfast to an all morning long “snack bar” instead! (more…)
