Chris Redmond is back on The RAG for the third time and his story keeps getting better.When I first interviewed Chris in 2019, he'd just gone fully remote and was chasing a digital nomad lifestyle with no fixed office.

Chris lives in Dubai, has transformed his health (losing 35kg in six months), and is building towards something much bigger: a business that runs without him and can one day be sold.In this episode, we cover:His unique forensic recruitment modelWhat it takes to move from lifestyle business to scalable businessThe pressure of being the only BD engine in your companyWhy personal reinvention is key to professional growthAnd how social media is helping drive both brand and client retentionWatch the episode live on my LinkedIn this Wednesday at 12 pm or catch up afterwards wherever you get your podcasts.If you're a founder thinking about long-term value and lifestyle alignment, this one's not to be missed.Watch our ten-minute video on “The most profitable way to grow your recruitment agency in 2025” here: https://hubs.ly/Q03lBpYC0Apply to be on the next RAG season here: https://hubs.ly/Q03yjlLd0 Chapters00:00 Introduction to The Rag Podcast03:23 Chris Redmond's Journey and Business Evolution10:13 Red Hole's Unique Recruitment Methodology17:56 Scalability and Future Plans for Red Hole22:02 The Impact of Moving to Dubai29:06 Personal Transformation and Health Journey50:36 The Power of Social Media in Business01:04:30 Future Vision and Exit Strategy for Red Hole__________________________________________Episode Sponsor: AtlasYour memory isn't perfect.
