This week in the Sensei’s corner, we welcome back Brian Dolan, CEO and founder of WorkReduce and a new guest and friend, Leo Faya, founder of Above Zero LLC. Above Zero, LLC is an Atlanta-based digital media operations and strategies company that works around helping build teams around helping brands and or agencies scale their digital operations. This week’s topic focuses on the globalization of programmatic talent, and we begin the conversation with the great resignation and how the recent talent crunch has pushed for companies like WorkReduce to start looking to the global marketplace for talent. We go in-depth on how to go about finding talent, and the investments into that proposed talent that are required. We touch on their standpoints on globalization and how it’s made an impact on their businesses, and how social media has positively impacted them. We wrapped up this week’s conversation with the discussion on if language is still considered a barrier of entry.
