About the Podcast

Dedicated to making you better at outsourcing. Tips, tricks, advice, and stories on how to get work off your plate and be more efficient.

I do things differently. I don’t hire “freelancers”. I don’t pay hourly.

Those are for the masses who are struggling to figure out how outsourcing works well.

Hundreds of thousands of employers have used what I do to find great outsourced workers and over 1.5 million Filipino resumes are in my database.
