Episode notes

In this episode of the Perpetual Growth Podcast, I chat with Carmen Williams, founder of Global Teams, about her unexpected journey from fetal lung research to leading a global VA company. In this episode, we cover: ️Carmen’s wild leap from healthcare project manager to entrepreneur (with two kids and a mortgage) ️The real reason most people fail at hiring VAs (and how to avoid it) ️Why your first VA shouldn’t be a unicorn - and what to look for instead ️How to scale with support instead of stress ️The power of discomfort, vertical growth, and choosing challenge over comfort ️What not to do when building your team (Carmen’s learned it all firsthand) Carmen brings humor, honesty, and a wealth of hard-earned wisdom to this conversation - and if you’re building anything right now (a business, a team, a new phase of life), this one is a must-watch. Listen in, and you’ll walk away rethinking how you hire, lead, and grow.
