What It's REALLY Like To Be A Filipino E...

Andrew Faris
About this episode

When Gregg Carey hired Lara Guevara to lead operations and supply chain for his ecommerce brand, Section 119, it changed the trajectories of both of their careers.

That's because Lara is not only a killer ecom professional; it's also because she lives in the Philippines, and their partnership at Section 119 was a light bulb moment that led to the founding of More Staffing, a staffing agency that connects Filipino ecom talent like Lara with other ecom operators in the U.S. and elsewhere.

In fact, saying that this partnership changed their careers might be putting it lightly. Lara is now the CEO of More Staffing and credits her work as a remote employee with a U.S. based company as getting her and her family through her cancer diagnosis and treatments.

More Staffing is my current podcast sponsor, and this interview is sponsored. But don't let that stop you from listening: I only take sponsored interviews if I think the content can actually be good, and this did not disappoint.

We spent most of our time talking about what remote employment in the Philippines is like from the perspective of actual Filipinos. It was enlightening for me, and it will be for you too.
