About this listen
Ever wonder why so many business owners hire in the Philippines—even when they’ve never been there? 🤔 Most people think “third world country” and picture instability, low skills, and chaos. But that’s not what I’ve seen over the last 18+ years of working with Filipinos. The truth is, the Philippines is nothing like what most outsiders assume.
It’s an emerging economy with millions of educated, talented workers who want stable, long-term jobs. The government is backing outsourcing, the middle class is growing fast, and for entrepreneurs like you, it’s one of the easiest ways to build a real team without breaking the bank.
Here’s what you’ll take away from this episode:
📊 Why “third world” doesn’t describe the Philippines anymore — and what the country actually looks like today.
🎓 How their school system builds serious talent (most workers you’ll meet have degrees).
💵 The real numbers behind Filipino wages — and why those rates work for everyone.
🌴 How outsourcing supports entire families who’d otherwise have to leave home just to find work.
📈 Why all of this makes hiring here one of the easiest ways to grow your business fast.
The Philippines isn’t just “cheap help.” It’s a country where you can find loyal, educated, long-term team members who make your business (and your life) way easier. If you’ve been holding back because of old stereotypes, you might be holding your business back, too.
▶️ Hit play and see why the Philippines might be the best hiring decision you’ll ever make.
