#32: Bryan Miles - CEO and Co-Founder of BELAY

Bryan Miles is an entrepreneur, husband, father, backpacker, mountain climber, mentor, and writer. In addition, he’s the CEO and Co-Founder of BELAY, a premium staffing company serving businesses all over the U.S.I’ve come to know Bryan over the last few years and have watched BELAY (Formerly EAHelp) continue to grow. A couple of my good friends have a BELAY Virtual Assistant and they can’t stop singing their praises, so I wanted to bring Bryan on to the podcast to learn more about what they’re up to.We talk about artificial intelligence and the future of assistants, delegating results–not tasks, why executives need an assistant, how to work with a VA, tips for interviewing an assistant, showing up for a video interview, tips on building your resume, what to look for in an assistant, and how to grow a connected and thriving culture – with a team that is 100% remote.We also talk about how the role of an assistant is NOT a dead end job, but instead, one of the best roles for getting experience in how to run a business and lead others.Bryan and his wife Shannon (Co-Founder and Co-CEO of BELAY) took out their life savings to start their business. Bryan shares a bit about how they survived and even thrived coming out of the recession.I trust you’ll enjoy my conversation with Bryan, as well as take home some practical tips for your workplace.Show notes at leaderassistant.com/32Subscribe at podcast.leaderassistant.comJoin the community at slack.leaderassistant.com or facebook.leaderassistant.com--It’s the last day of the offsite and it was exactly what the team needed.
