Ep31: Business Travel - Why Face to Face Beats Zoom Every Time

If you've ever looked at someone else's life on social media and thought they were just "lucky," this conversation might change your perspective. It is easy to see the highlights, but the reality involves a lot of action and a willingness to screw things up along the way. Richard and Lee are freshly back from a field test in the Philippines, where they took their entire family along for a work trip. They share why they decided to set up a company outside of Australia and the lessons they learned by physically being in the room with their new team. While Zoom is great for a quick follow-up, they look at why the real bonding happens over pre-meeting chitchat and shared meals. If you are a founder (or just someone with a dream you have been putting off), this episode is a gentle nudge to stop overthinking. You can learn how to move past the fear of the unknown and why inaction is actually the scariest thing of all. They take you through the value of old-school networking and why making the effort to meet face to face is an investment that saves you time and hassle in the long run. If you enjoy it, they'd love to hear from you! Drop a comment on the episode - or get in touch via Instagram: @RichlyToldPodcast This is a Podvan Media production.
