129: Building a $100 Million Company in 5 Years and Reducing Global Wealth Inequality by Making Remote Work Available to Everyone with Tony Jamous
Apr 13, 2021
Tony Jamous takes us on his journey growing up in Beirut during
the Lebanese civil war in the 1980s, being inspired to his
grandfather’s entrepreneurship, and eventually moving to France at
age 17 and starting his world travel journey. He reflects on his
top travel experiences, what travel means to him, and how he ended
up founding and scaling his first company to over $100
Million in under 5 years and selling it for $230 Million. Tony
breaks down some of the biggest leverage points that enabled him to
scale that fast and build an operational infrastructure with
internationally distributed staff in over 50 countries. He reflects
on his personal leadership style, what he feels makes a great CEO,
how to attract and hire top talent, and tips for managing an
internationally distributed team. Tony also reflects on how and why
remote teams can outperform in-office teams and gives tips on how
to effectively build company culture in fully remote businesses. He
then shares his personal productivity routines, stress management
techniques, and how he approaches business problems. Tony also
talks about his latest venture, Oyster, that he founded with the
vision of changing the world by making remote
work accessible to everyone. He explains how his talent-enablement
platform works to empower employees from anywhere in the world to
work for the best global companies
without leaving their home countries. He explains the mission and
values of Oyster and how his goal is to reduce global wealth
inequality and positively impact the environment by disrupting
and revolutionizing the way companies can hire the best staff
around the world remotely. He explains the service offering, the
customer experience, and how companies can start using the
Oyster platform today. FULL SHOW NOTES AVAILABLE AT:
