If you're a business owner, you know how tough it can be to find the right person to join your team. And with the rise of remote work and the digital nomad lifestyle, the talent pool just got a whole lot bigger. But how do you navigate the hiring process? In this episode, we're joined by an expert, Rebecca Nelson, who has successfully hired and onboarded for her own small business, as well as for many other digital nomads and small business owners.

At the end of the day, hiring for your business can be a game-changer. But it can also be a little intimidating if you're not sure where to start. That's why Rebecca's here to help! ------------------------------------------ Rebecca is a 23-year-old serial entrepreneur, nomad, and tennis fanatic who has created a lifestyle of time and income freedom by working with expert talent in the Philippines to help build and scale businesses. With a formal education in public health from one of London's leading universities and the opportunity to study her Master's in population health at Cambridge, she realized this isn't the path she wanted to take and pivoted into entrepreneurship. After struggling to find reliable, honest, and highly skilled talent on platforms like Upwork and Fiverr to help her in her business journey, she re-dedicated her time to building a company that ensures others could reliably find amazing people to help them.
