Notes from Chris
Episode 2042
Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone who’s story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. Last week, we heard from the co-founder of Happy Box, a service that offers unique care packages for all occasions. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from John Jonas, founder of OnlineJobs.PH. This is a very cool business that connects employers and entrepreneurs (even some side hustlers) with virtual assistants and other professionals in the Philippines, where English is widely spoken but the cost of labor is less. What’s happened since? Listen to today's episode to hear John's updates...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
