Outsourced teams have been around for some time, but COVID-19 has opened the eyes of more entrepreneurs to the benefits of working with virtual assistants. In this era of remote work, if you’re leading a virtual team and doing great, then it wouldn’t matter if your employees are from the US or the Philippines. In fact hiring teams from other countries can save you a lot of money because you’re taking advantage of the differences in pay rate.

Listen in as he makes the case for remote teams and shares his leadership philosophy on the show with Alicia Couri.
