Fresh off a trip to the Philippines and days before the 2026 tax season opens, Katherine Studley is breaking down two things you need to hear: why outsourcing isn't evil, and what you need to do right now to survive tax season.

Kat shares what happened when she flew to Cebu to meet her newly hired Filipino virtual assistants in person, eating balut, attending Sinulog festival, and learning about the real economics behind international hiring. She tackles the "is outsourcing ethical?" question head-on, discussing fair wages, competitive job markets, and why the disrespect Filipino call center workers face is completely unnecessary.

Then she pivots to what matters most for dancers, OnlyFans creators, and sugar babies right now: how to organize your income, what to do if you haven't received your 1099s yet (spoiler: strip clubs won't send them), how to set up IRS payment plans, and what working with Prisma Tax looks like this season.

Whether you're curious about building an international team, need a tax season wake-up call, or just want to hear what duck embryo tastes like..this episode covers it all.
