🌍 Growth Capital Podcast — Episode 63 🌍

Remote work unlocked flexibility and global talent—but it also created a massive compliance gap that most companies and professionals aren’t prepared for.

In this episode of the Growth Capital Podcast, host Justin Dixon sits down with Maxwell Nee, Co-Founder of Flamingo, to unpack the overlooked tax, residency, and regulatory risks hiding inside today’s borderless work environment.

Maxwell shares how remote work, global mobility, and digital nomadism have outpaced the systems designed to track them—and why even sophisticated executives often discover their exposure only when audits, visa reviews, or penalties appear. Drawing on his experience living and working across multiple countries, he explains why compliance failures are rarely intentional but almost always infrastructural.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Why most professionals and companies don’t track global work accurately
  • How remote and distributed teams create silent tax and residency exposure
  • The difference between where you’re hired and where liability actually accrues
  • Why simplicity and privacy-first design matter in regulated markets
  • How global mobility is becoming a strategic issue for founders, operators, and investors
  • Whether you’re leading a PE-backed company, managing a distributed workforce, or investing in global growth, this conversation highlights a risk you can’t afford to ignore.
