What happens when your business takes a hit and you’re forced to rethink everything?

In this 65th episode of the Scale You Podcast, Le-an sits down with Faith Natividad, Founder of Digital Workforce Group, to talk about how she built a people-first outsourcing company and how she rebuilt it when AI started changing the game.

She leaned into it. 🔥

Instead of resisting AI, she learned it, taught it to her team, and turned it into part of their edge.
