Send us Fan Mail We are excited to present a fascinating new episode to kick off the year strong with some remote wisdom . This time, we sat down with Tony Jamous, CEO and co-founder of Oyster - a pioneering global employment platform. Joining our host Kaleem Clarkson for this insightful conversation is guest co-host, Jeff Frick . Together, they explore Tony's purpose-driven journey and how it shapes his approach to entrepreneurship, sustainable leadership, and remote work culture. Tony’s entrepreneurial story began with the founding of Nexmo , a communications platform whose rapid growth eventually led to its acquisition first by Vonage and then by Ericsson for $6.5 billion. This experience, while financially rewarding, led Tony to reassess his priorities after seeing the toll intense work demands were taking on his health and well-being. This period of introspection inspired him to take a sabbatical and rethink his career goals. Determined to pursue a more meaningful path, Tony envisioned a platform that would enable economic freedom and allow individuals to access global employment while staying in their home communities.
