I love changing my mind. It means someone produced a piece of data or such a compelling argument that I've taken a new position. In other words, I learned something new. Before this interview, I was pretty deadset in my opinion on working remotely. I believed something was lost when humans are not in the same building. I know. It's old school. And times are changing. But that's why my guest was the perfect person to chat with about a distributed workforce. Jason's agency is born and bred out of a distributed environment almost ten years ago. He has employees all over the world. And no, he's not from the future. I asked him. He's just ahead of the curve, where he's embraced this evolving structure from a logical perspective. You see, it's not about cost or saving money. That's the wrong way to look at it. It's about your ability to deliver more to your clients. To Jason, this model has created a sum greater than it's parts. His agency is profitable and productive. And it's attracted stronger talent, developing a more diverse, experienced workforce. So you have to ask yourself: Do you want more diversity? Do you want stronger talent? Do you want a more productive workforce that works from home? Who the hell wouldn't? This episode is for you, especially now that most of the world is forced to work from home. Listen to our chat with Jason, where we talk about how to create and manage a distributed digital agency, profit sharing, onboarding team members, Pearl Jam and a whole hell of a lot more.

Sometimes you meet couples that compliment each other in every way. Sometimes they marry. And sometimes they decide to run a business together.  This kind of teamwork isn't ordinary. And I mean real teamwork. And when it starts at the top and trickles through your business down to the newest employees, you have a solid culture. And when you have a solid culture, anything is achievable.  I had the honor to interview Nikole & Mike Rose, the two people I'm attempting to describe here. The company they've built embodies the inbound marketing agency many ascribe to have. They're a HubSpot Diamond Partner. They embrace Open Book Management (OBM). They follow the EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System). To many others, these are just popular buzzwords, and in many cases, expensive distractions.  To Nikole & Mike, these aren't just fads. These are systems and methods they worked hard to implement and are now reaping rewards. But they would be too humble to credit themselves for this, and rightfully so. They would credit the culture and their team.  (And as quick aside, here's an example of Mike's humility. When I asked if he wanted to promote anything, he took that time to promote our next Digital Mastermind Summit, which takes place in December. What a guy!) So if you want to grow your agency, are thinking about acquiring other companies, have questions on culture, then this show is for you. Join us for episode seven where we talked about everything from acquisitions to TopGun, the definition of "likeability,' how to avoid culture clashes and more.  Be sure to subscribe! And share your thoughts. I'd love to hear from you. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Show Notes: Mike Rose's Book - ROWE ► Return on Energy - https://amzn.to/31YqUhv Mojo Media Labs ► https://www.mojomedialabs.com/ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Join Digital Mastermind: Website ► https://www.digitalmastermind.com ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Connect w/Digital Mastermind Group Facebook ► https://www.facebook.com/digmastermindgroup Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/digitalmastermindgroup/ LinkedIn ► https://www.linkedin.com/company/digital-mastermind-group/ Twitter ► https://twitter.com/dig_mastermind ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Connect with Jon Tsourakis: Facebook ► https://www.facebook.com/jon.tsourakis/ Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/jontsourakis/ LinkedIn ► https://www.linkedin.com/in/jontsourakis/ Twitter ► https://twitter.com/jontsourakis ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
