Renée Giroux-Nix spent the first 15 years of her career as a pediatric nurse, and most of her creative energy on a multitude of other artistic outlets. On a serendipitous journey she was encouraged to "follow her passion," and discovered her 1st passion was books. Renée founded Ijustfinished.com with a leap of faith and excitement. The learning curve took her through the process of building and rebuilding Ijustfinished.com. She became immersed in learning the ins and outs of the publishing world, web design, web development, social media, small business, networking, and all things book marketing. She now leads a team of marketing, writing, and web professionals who are just as passionate about books and helping authors navigate the book world at Stimulating Conversation, as well as helping business owners with websites, social media, and technology at StimCo.biz. She can often be found speaking at seminars and workshops, guest blogging, and Tweeting her way around the social media world. She still considers herself an author groupie, and often thinks she is very lucky to meet and befriend authors.

Creating his own website business, Robert needed extra cash flow. So he taught classes in web design, where Renee first met him . She had a vision (IJF); he told her she wasn’t ready yet. Two weeks later she contacted him and said, “Hey, I started my website and…I need your help!” Robert signed on with I Just Finished/Stimulating Conversation as a result. To support authors’ success in the writing arena, Robert builds and supports all the websites and web activities based on client needs. He is able to take a concept or vision and translate it in to computer languages exceptionally well. He also develops the process so novices and new computer users are comfortable using it. He tests and re-tests to remove any bugs, making the process easier for all our clients. Robert began developing sites at age 15. He has been programming for eight years and has extensive knowledge in PHP, MySQL, AJAX, HTML, Python, CSS, Standard Javascript and jQuery. His expertise also extends to SEO (search engine optimization). He is an example of a highly motivated person, reaching a high level of success in a highly competitive field.
