Gregg Carey felt overwhelmed by the number of things he had to do in his 7-figure ecommerce business. Anyone who has been in that phase knows the feeling: there's too much to do, not enough time to do it, and not enough money to hire help.
Except that last part isn't true: Gregg hired Lara Guevara to take over his supply chain from her home in the Philippines, and the result was growth, profit, time, more Filipino employees, and eventually, a Filipino staffing agency that the two co-founded so other DTC businesses could experience the same.
In this sponsored episode, I talk to Gregg and Lara both about their experience working together on Gregg's business (https://section119.com/) and why these relationships work so incredibly well when they're done right.
