Virtual Business
The future of business is virtual teams. Business leaders who harness the power of remote work can scale faster, with lower overhead, better talent, all while remaining more agile. Tools like Slack, Zoom, Asana, & Trello (to name a few) mean it's never been more attainable to run a serious business with a virtual team. However, with this newfound freedom comes new challenges of creating a real team that advances the company mission, and not just a bunch of people texting each other from their couches. Find out how we do it...Hosts Deacon Bradley (VP), Angela Ponsford (VP), and Ralph Burns (CEO & Founder) share the keys which enabled them to grow from one guy with a virtual assistant, to a thriving team across 5 continents, 14 countries, and counting.Find the show notes and resources for every episode (and more) at https://deaconbradley.com/
