Dan Andrews on Remote Hiring, Podcasting, and Creating a Community of Entrepreneurs

The Digital Agency Growth Podcast

Working remotely, though common now, was not well received or often considered in the past decade or so. With the rise of remote work, hiring anyone from anywhere around the world is easier now. But what was the process like back when the idea started to emerge? Today, Dan Andrews is here to talk about all that and more. This week, episode 181 of The Digital Agency Growth Podcast is about remote hiring, podcasting, and creating a community of entrepreneurs!

In this episode of The Digital Agency Growth Podcast, Dan Andrews shares the importance of podcasting for agency owners and actionable steps you can take right now to find networking opportunities when abroad.
Dan Andrews started the Tropical MBA blog as a job advertisement for a paid intern to join him as he traveled the world building his business with his business partner, Ian Schoen. It has since evolved into a place that location-independent entrepreneurs and folks starting their own businesses turn to for frank disclosures on the inner workings of their own million-dollar eCommerce company, tips and hacks for ex-pat living and travel, and witty commentary on the realities of building your own business to create personal freedom and opportunities.
In this episode, Dan Andrews and Dan Englander discuss the following:

• What being a digital nomad entrepreneur was like circa 2016.
• The big trends Dan is seeing in remote hiring given the last few months.
• Comparing being an agency owner to being a track and field athlete.
• How AI and technological developments will shape life 10 years from now.
