Two companies that specialize in Philippine virtual assistants. Podcast time, Minisode Episode 48 Let's do it. The last episode I told you it has some shorter links seem to find these interviews that I was a guest on. So you can go to www.adoctorsperspective.net/herhealth , or www.adoctorsperspective.net/podcastinsider one word or www.adoctorsperspective.net/getpublished one word our www.adoctorsperspective.net/podcouch . So if you just go to the www.adoctorsperspective.net/asheardon what I just said her health podcast insider get published podcast you'll go directly to their shows page to listen. So like I said in the previous episode, the side hustle show is what we're talking about today hiring a virtual assistant, a VA.
