In this reaction pod of TLO, we dive into the controversial world of workplace surveillance with special guest Cody Rogers, Chief Product Officer at Hubstaff. Are these tools about transparency and efficiency, or are they enabling a culture of micromanagement? Join us as we explore the fine line between monitoring and trust.
Today, we're discussing how we manage our team, including seven members from the Philippines who are crucial to our operations. We'll cover strategies for building a strong team culture, whether our team members work remotely or locally. Managing a virtual team requires continual adaptation and growth, which we've learned through hands-on and remote roles. We'll also talk about the ethical and economic aspects of hiring abroad versus locally. Our virtual team handles most tasks remotely, except for those that require physical presence. When hiring virtual assistants, we use platforms like Facebook groups for job listings, interviews, and trials. Training is crucial, with clear job descriptions, SOPs, and regular communication via tools like Slack. Meetings are essential for team unity, even online, where we discuss tasks and accomplishments. Tools like TimeDoctor or Hubstaff help track work hours and ensure accountability. Building a strong team culture involves regular communication through platforms like Slack or CRM systems. Daily “pulse meetings” (team meetings) are vital for keeping the team aligned and maintaining productivity and culture.
SHOW NOTES: On this show…we are looking for a little harmony in our hustle as we master work, life, and personal growth. Ever feel like you're juggling flaming swords while riding a unicycle? Why do some people appear to be killing it on the highwire of life while the rest of us feel like a low-budget sideshow act? Guess what? You would probably be shocked to learn that some see you as the put-together and confident ringmaster running it all with precision. Before you scoff, remember, that life isn't as it always appears. But hey, we're all in this circus together! It's all about finding that sweet spot where you're crushing your goals without losing yourself in the chaos. According to Hubstaff.com, 48% of workers call themselves “workaholics”, 66% skip one meal per day due to working hours, and 60% of US workers say they don't have boundaries between work responsibilities and life. Ouch. Let's flip the script on burnout and turn this balancing act into a dance. Chibs Okereke takes you From Work-Life Balance to Work-Life Harmony: A New Path for High-Achievers found on Linkedin On Clark Kegley's YouTube channel, I found 5 small HABITS that will change YOUR life forever Recognizing when your life is out of harmony between work and personal growth can help you get back on track. Here are some warning signs to watch out for: Constant Fatigue: Feeling perpetually exhausted, even after a full night's sleep, is a red flag that your balance might be off. Increased Irritability: If you're snapping at people or feeling unusually frustrated, it could be a sign that stress is taking over. Lack of Enthusiasm: Losing interest in activities you used to enjoy or feeling indifferent about work and personal projects can indicate burnout. Neglected Self-Care: Skipping meals, neglecting exercise, or ignoring mental health can be signs that you're too consumed by work. Declining Performance: Struggling to meet deadlines, making more mistakes, or experiencing a drop in productivity can signal that your balance is disrupted. Strained Relationships: If friends and family are noticing your absence or you're feeling disconnected from your loved ones, it's a strong indicator that work is overshadowing your personal life. Feeling Overwhelmed: A constant sense of being overwhelmed or unable to cope with your responsibilities is a clear sign of imbalance. CHALLENGE: Achieving harmony between life, work, and personal growth is your key to unlocking a life of joy and fulfillment. Embrace self-care, set clear priorities, and watch as you thrive both professionally and personally, creating a balanced and inspired life where anything is possible. I Know YOU Can Do It!

After years of obsessively working in SEO, I began feeling burnt out. As an ambitious perfectionist, I had let SEO take over too much of my life. So this year, I'm determined to achieve better work-life balance. In this video, I share my struggles with SEO overwork and some tactics I'm trying to find more balance, including setting stricter work hours, taking regular breaks, reading books unrelated to SEO, meditating, spending more time outside, and not overpacking my schedule with clients. I also discuss tools like Asana, Hubstaff, and Flow that help me work in focused "deep work" chunks and track how much time I actually spend working. While SEO will always be a passion of mine, I don't want it to be all-consuming. My hope is that by being more intentional about balance, I can boost my motivation, energy levels, and enjoyment of SEO in the long run. I'd love to hear from you in the comments about your own experiences finding work-life balance as an SEO! Do you have any other tips? Let me know if you have any other questions.

Alex Yarotsky got into tech as a little kid. In fact, he remembers watching the movie Toy Story, and wanting to learn how to build the tech that drove its creation. He got into University, but eventually, dropped out, and went the standard Eastern European software route, by joining a consultancy. Post that, he joined his first tech startup, and hasn't looked back since. Outside of tech, he is married with 2 fat cats. He and his wife enjoy MMA, and traveling.Twelve years ago, the founders of Alex's current venture noticed that the demand for freelancers was growing in the market. They also noticed that very few time tracking solutions existed, and they wanted to tackle this niche. Later, Alex joined the crew to take the product to the next level, as CTO.This is the creation story of Hubstaff.SponsorsCipherstashTreblleCAST AI FireflyTursoMemberstackLinksWebsite: https://hubstaff.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ayarotsky/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Sean: We go through all of these checks and I'm wondering, what are some checks that you have in place if you do have them, to make sure that people you have in the team are at the least bit have a standard level of reliability, and then that is where you measure them to what your actual idea of reliability is. So to give a more concrete example for that question a lot of companies might include it. We have time trackers installed. I use Hubstaff for my team. This is to know who's going to be the terrorist here, right? Who's going to just waste time, get paid, and not really do their part in work. Do you have those systems in place and how do you check if someone's reliable or not? Wouter: Look, a couple of things to comment on that. So one is you never really know upfront. It doesn't matter. Look, let me go back to your question from Mangtas Internal, but let's talk a little bit about our marketplace. What we deliver to our clients is reliability. The problem that they face today is if I need to find a business partner, a vendor, or an outsourcing partner on the other side of the world through Google, how do I trust that company? Of course, they're good at selling themselves, but how do I trust it? We solve that problem for our clients and we do that by a 13-step process and this and that and you know, nine out of ten times that works. But sometimes it still doesn't. Right. And then the proof is really in the pudding. Then it's really about giving people trial time and then making sure that you have a process that now you're on the job and having a system on that as well. Now that translates to us internally. We cannot deliver reliability without being reliable ourselves, and that's why we developed it down. We had all these different rules and no, no, no, very simple, but given me, I created a code of conduct. If you ask me, you know, off the top of my head, I would always miss a couple, right? No, no, no. Let's keep it very simple. Very simple. People do need to remember one thing. Am I reliable, reliable, and reliable? So in our hiring practices to begin with, depending on the role, obviously, it depends a little bit like do we look for referrals and we but ultimately we have conversations with them. We check, you know, the backgrounds and all that. That's one thing. There's a minimum there. But I think where we really, and what I really emphasize and what's really important to me is ultimately we give people chances. There are some minimum checks we do, but I don't want also prejudice too much. Like if you hit the minimum criteria, give us a go. Come work with us for a month and let's see how that goes. But let's be very, very clear. Your trial period ends within a month, and we're going to judge you on one thing only, which is reliability. And you know, black and white. We can stay friends this and that, but there are very clear objectives here. So I don't believe in time tracking. I don't care if you work one hour or 100 hours. It doesn't matter to me if you get the job done with the right quality, based on how you committed it, you're reliable. That's great. That means you're consistently delivering according to what you're supposed to create. You fit in perfectly. And that's why I'm saying the team evolves and changes. It's because we also give chances to a lot of people and ultimately assess them very clearly. We're very upfront about this. We are very decisive in moving forward, like the moment we see the great potential. We can invest a lot of time in that person and is proven to be reliable. Let's go. When the answer is no, we don't waste time, we move on. - - - Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/leadershipstack Join our community and ask questions here: from.sean.si/discord Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/leadershipstack Leadership Stack Merch: https://leadershipstack.com/shop/

If you feel dragged to a Zoom meeting in the middle of the night when most of your colleagues are fully awake because it's daytime where they're at, you are not alone. The lack of real-time communication is becoming increasingly prominent in the workplace. For this reason, asynchronous communication is becoming a preferred means of communication in the workplace - making it easier for employees to work remotely without fear that they're missing out on critical conversations happening at the office. Tyler Sellhorn, Head of Customer Experience at Yac, is your go-to man when it comes to this type of work communication.Tyler joins our hosts, Andrew Jernigan and Allen Koski, in this episode of The New Nomad as they talk about the evolution of communication at work. Since most companies opened their doors to working remotely, communication has to be adjusted as well. They discussed why both synchronous and asynchronous meetings are important and the benefits employees and businesses can get from them. It won't be surprising if companies adopt this shift as well. Truly an enlightening and timely conversation between our three nomads! [3:41] People are people long before they are workers[7:40] Success in the internet[12:04] Asynchronous meetings maintain remote team alignment[14:53] Synchronous: Bond, Asynchronous: Work[23:19] Transitioning to remote work is an individual's decision after all[25:20] Trust in remote work is vitalGUEST BIO:Tyler Sellhorn is the Head of Customer Experience at Yac. However, Tyler didn't begin his career as a “location-independent” advocate. Tyler actually has over 10-years of experience in secondary math education under his belt. However, after over a decade of educating young minds, Tyler pivoted sharply to a fully-remote role in B2B SaaS in 2019, working for Hubstaff. Not only was this an industry change, but also a career change as Tyler went from educator to Customer Success Manager and then shortly to Director of Customer Experience. Since then, Tyler's enthusiasm for remote and async-first work is clearly evident.In Tyler's short time in the remote and async landscape, he's talked up a storm – interviewing the best and brightest in async on his Remote Show podcast, amassed a tidy remote-centric following on LinkedIn and Twitter, and taken up the remote gauntlet at Yac.Tyler Sellhorn Links:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/tyler-sellhornTwitter: TSell89Website: tylersellhorn.tech/Follow Insured Nomads at:Instagram: @insurednomadswww.insurednomads.com

I got the inspiration for today's topic from a recent coaching call I had with my clients. When we're just starting out, we think we need to learn every little detail about the real estate business. When we spend too much time trying to be the best at everything, we lose opportunities, and we don't close deals. It's way more effective to build a network of experts and rely on them to help you with the pieces.Whether you need insurance, creative financing, or a title company, leaning on your network to figure things out allows you to solve problems in way less time. You don't have to be an expert on technology or get in the weeds with paperwork when you have an expert in your network. You could easily spend years trying to learn it all, but you'll leave deals on the table. To get ahead, just jump in, figure it out as you go, and focus on connecting with the right people who can help you.What's Inside:Why you should lean on your network instead of trying to do everything on your own.Key relationships to seek out to help you with the details of real estate transactions.How building a solid network helps you close more deals.Mentioned in this episode:Hubstaff.comREINetwork.com/downloads

Dave Nevogt- Founder and CEO of Hubstaff-Discusses what could be the new norm- Working from home.
THE 9-5 DAY IS ‘OUT OF THE QUESTION’: HERE’S WHAT GOING BACK TO WORK IN AN OFFICE WILL BE LIKE.Co-founder and the CEO of Hubstaff where he leads marketing and growth // founded several multi-million dollar businesses and writes about growing startups on the Hubstaff blog DAVE NEVOGTResearch from jobs website Totaljobs suggests that, in the U.K. at least, people are keen to get back to their workplaces, with 54% wanting to do so by the end of June. The survey of nearly 7,000 people was conducted online between May 12 to May 15. Masks have been mandated by some governments for people on public transport, but don’t expect to see people wearing them in the workplace long term, says Sean McEvoy, a director at interior fit-out contractor Portview. Businesses may run in shifts, or only have people come to their workplace three days a week. Perspex screens might divide desks and boardroom tables might make way for socially-distanced podiums, McEvoy suggested. The need for office space may reduce, but we’re not going to see flagship buildings turn residential any time soon, according to Patrick Plant, real estate partner at law firm Linklaters.

David Nevogt is a Co-founder of Hubstaff.com, a SaaS time tracking, project management, and employee development platform. David co-founded Hubstaff in 2012 out of a personal pain and a need to be free. He runs the day-to-day marketing, operations, and support for the company as there are over 34,000 companies that trust Hubstaff, including companies like Groupon. Instacart, Ring Doorbell, ClickFunnels, and many more. In this episode… You’d be hard-pressed to find an entrepreneur who wouldn’t wish for more hours in a day just so they can finish everything that they want to do in order to scale their business. But the problem isn’t in how much time they have but on how they spend their time. See, a lot of entrepreneurs don’t really know where their time goes, let alone that of their team members and this gray area is where the opportunity to focus on high-value activities that can help scale any business gets lost. David Nevogt knows firsthand how difficult it is to keep track of everything that’s going on in a business and it was this need that propelled him to create Hubstaff. And while he is the founder of several multi-million dollar companies, creating this SaaS product proved to be the most challenging one for him. But almost unsurprisingly, it’s also one that’s incredibly rewarding. In this episode of INspired INsider as Dr. Jeremy Weisz talks with David Nevogt of Hubstaff about his entrepreneurial journey, what pushed him to create Hubstaff, how they help businesses track their productivity and grow their business, why transparency is so important to their company culture, and more. Stay tuned.

Getting the Most Out of Your Remote Workforce Today we're going to talk about how to efficiently manage your remote workforce. You're all happy and home and hose that you've got everyone working from home and you've noticed that they aren't quite meeting their KPIs, or maybe they are, or maybe you didn't have KPIs in the first place. Whatever the case may be, we're going to go through some really handy ways that you can measure your staff's performance on a keyboard stroke, phone call, or whatever the KPI metric that you want to measure is. One of the first things you're going to want to put in place is a tool called RescueTime, or ManicTime, or Hubstaff, there's a whole bunch of others out there. But these tools will let you see your current staff's activity and their screenshots, the applications that they had open, and how well utilised they were. It can break down things and show you what your staff spent their time on, whether that'd be in your core applications or on the likes of social media, Facebook, YouTube, or just jumping around Google cat videos. Learn more about how to manage your remote workforce at dorksdelivered.com.au Get a Time Tracking Program Make sure that you have RescueTime put in place. You can get a free trial and check it out and see how it all goes for you. It's going to give you visibility and eyes on their PC and on their phone to see how long they're on the phone calls for and what it is that they're doing. I know this sounds like 1984 George Orwell, big brother and all that stuff. But know this, while you are looking at what they're doing, most of the time you're just looking at reports of what they have been doing and that can let you increase their efficiencies and find better ways to be able to manage and maintain the workflows that they're doing. It's not all about just looking at what they're doing, it's mostly about working out ways that you can make their work more efficient. Keep Up With Good Mental Health Now that you've got eyes in disguise on all of these PCs around the place and phones, the next step is to work out a way that you can continue good mental health in collaboration with your team. The best way to do that is by making sure you have regular check-ins with Zoom meetings. Have them informal. We do a friyeah meeting where we sit down with a beer or your beverage of choice, and just talk about the week. We talk about our favourite bit, we talk about our least favourite bit. Overall we just make sure that we know that each of us are there for each other. We talk about anything and everything that might be on our mind. These are things that really help build relationships and help build the ecosystem that you want into a fantastic thriving environment. The Final Word Between these two items, you're going to be well ahead. Lightning, lightning... well ahead and... Between these two helpful hints, you're going to be light years ahead of your competition.

Working remotely is something many companies have started doing in this time of crisis because of the pandemic sweeping the globe. So in today's Monday Morning Memo, Wilson and Samantha tackle the problems and benefits of working remotely. Making Remote Work Effective and Efficient Made Simple Remote work can be difficult for many people to adjust. However, it is a necessary thing to do in today's climate because many businesses will opt to go for remote work rather than fully closing their doors. So Wilson and Samantha both share their perspective and provide advice for remote working. Have a Dedicated Workspace According to Samantha, a great way to make remote work more effective is to make sure that you have a dedicated workspace. Separate it from the rest of the places in your home and only go there when you're about to work. A dedicated workspace lets you have the mindset of work while you're in that specific space. It doesn't have to be a full-blown office either. It can be a chair in the dining room that nobody uses or even the left side of your couch opposite the side where you watch your TV shows. Just make sure that you dedicate that space to work. Have a Dedicated Time To Decompress on Your Schedule Another thing that you should be doing is to make sure that you dedicate some time to decompress after work. Dedicating some time to decompress is one of the most important things to do, especially if you're not used to working remotely. Unwinding lets you mentally reset for the day and gets you ready for tomorrow's work. Make sure to have a schedule and a routine ready, so you can keep your work going despite working remotely. Use The Right Tools For The Job Wilson emphasized the need for the right tools when doing remote work. This is because, without some of these tools, it would be far more difficult to work remotely effectively. This includes landline tools like RingCentral and Zoom or staff monitoring software like Hubstaff that let you keep an eye on what your employees are doing. According to Wilson, it is also much easier to manage people remotely rather than in an office setting because you can see if work is being done rather than if someone is busy. Connect on a Human Level One of the things Wilson and Samantha touched on is how important it is to keep the personal and social connection with staff intact despite working remotely. It isn't easy to find out things that may be bothering your workers in a remote setting unless you set aside some time for them to share their inner thoughts and what could be bothering them. This is the hardest thing to do from a logistics standpoint Quotes: -The arguments are always "if my people work at home they won't work" and I can tell you from a control freak that is not the truth -it's easier for me to manage people with all of us in remote because you can see if work is getting done versus seeing somebody busy -We had a higher turnover rate, and we started extending out those meetings, and we saw our turnover almost go non-existent because everybody started getting those connections - I mean you're talking to a guy that owned a two-story office building where everybody came in you know for a decade or longer. I look at that now as a horrible utilization of assets -Just work and then life don't try to merge them, don't try work from in front of the TV. Try to keep it as separate as possible so that you don't turn in to work all the time or you aren't working at all

You're going to have better of cardiovascular health who are going to have no a BMI usually. So you would lose weight through doing distance running. It's also good for your, we have a lower incidence of stroke. We have a lower incidence of heart disease. We have a lower incidence. Even off came some when we flew out to marathons regularly. It slows down the aging process to some degree. In fact, one of the interesting statistics that came up and one of the studies that are made was that your telling me is I lengthened by on average and leaving the scene. Now you might be thinking, what the hell it's telling me is that I did a whole podcast on telling me is I've got a show called pushing the limits. I'll give you a small plug for that. Speaker 2: (01:57) And I had a world's leading experience on anti aging on podcasts who also happens to be an ultra marathon runner. That's how I know him Dr Bill Andrews and he is an expert in Telomeres which are the little caps at the end of your DNA. And as they replicate and the cells replicate themselves throughout life, these get shorter and shorter and shorter. And this is what dictates the length of our lives basically. And so ultra marathon runners t on average have 11% longer telomeres, which equates to around 16 years of lifespan on average. That's a massive, massive difference and a good reason to be doing ultra marathon running. Okay. So you're going to have long been telling me is going to have good cardiovascular health, you're going to have a lower incidence of stroke, lower incidents of cancer. And these are all based on studies. Speaker 2: (02:53) I won't cite all the studies here cause it would just be boring. But if you want to go out and do the research, you can find these studies as well. Now one of the other pros, just besides that, well, you also got to have the advantage of mental, more mental strength. So there's a couple of aspects. Look at this. From a running perspective, many, many ultra marathon Manas would tell you that ultra marathon running has saved them from depression, from mental health issues. That helps them overcome a whole lot of, certainly was a lifesaver for me. I dealt with depression for many, many years and ultra marathon running really pulled me out of it. Now why doesn't do that? Well, number one, being outside in nature hesitancy the spirits, it's good for the soul. It's helps you. We actually either, I think it's about an NC three that we were out in nature a whole lot boards. Speaker 2: (03:57) So when you're out doing ultra marathons and training for marathons who are naturally outside, you're getting your sunshine, vitamin D, you're giving up your endorphins as well the net whole times, and they're actually helping make the actually feel beat up. So for mental health, I think ultra marathon running is a really, really one of the, one of the big pros of that and helps us feel better physically and mentally and helps the, our hormones and so on. Now I will go over in the constitution, how will you do too much in the negative effects it can have on that. But when I'm doing all the parts, all right, it can also help you get into a flow state. So I read a really good book called stealing fire and it was all about how do you get yourself in the flow state, in your flow state and state. Speaker 2: (04:49) Stay with me. Occasionally get into when you're in a really creative space or when things are really rolling really well. And in the running world, this some site is called the violence tie. When you're actually floating here, we've gone through all the Hubstaff in a spice where it's just absolutely amazing, freezing along and just loving life. It's feeling powerful and strong and like one forever. Now that is low state and you can get into flow state when you're being creative assets, making jewelry. Like I do that also in money and this is a very hot and state. We you know, a lot of advances are highly recommend reading that book, stealing fire. We want to know a little bit about that and the runner's high all of that sort of good stuff. So you're gonna also have on average a lower BMI. You going to bet on your body. Speaker 2: (05:41) And this is a very good thing. I'll go into the negative sides, how it things muscle a little bit later and slowing down the aging that the telling me is, it also helps you have stronger bones. So contrary to popular belief, a lot of people come and to me, but you're going to Ricky joints running and I'm like, no, you're not going to join running. And lease you have a very, very poor running style. Yes, you could be doing some damage and great mostly. And if you've got, you know, something physically wrong, let's say we'll pose you or one foot longer than the other or those sorts of things, that's for the general average person. You're not going to Ricky points running ultra marathons. Ultra marathons are also usually done in a very sedate pace, not sprinting because for so long and so there's least impact. Speaker 2: (06:33) So high impact sports where you're changing direction and doing that sort of thing usually ends up with more Dwayne and breeds. Then ultra marathon moneymoon actually was going along nice and slowly. Now when you are doing the short chaps or the sports like netball or tennis for you ask, stop and start, you actually create stronger bones then runs through runners. If you take a cross section of the bones and nations for example, our action strong work and doing those spots that pop to things that for things like your knees, your hips, you're not actually going to do a heck of a lot of chem. It's some Jasper anything along in a very nice today pace. And so as an ultra marathon man and that if you're doing sprints in your or they'd run out and that can be a little bit different because you're putting a lot more load through the body, but generally you're going to have stronger bones. Speaker 2: (07:27) So the old method that you're going to wear your joints out and all that sort of thing is in my opinion, a myth. And I'll front I of a 70,000 case and sit by my knees and my, my hips and everything is good, touch wood. And basically my, my take on that is that no life's bad yet and you've been we're out or rushed out. So the Muslim we'd sell know you're gonna do it. And there are ways and what we do at running hot coaching is to try to spring from your body so that you don't have as much fear and tear so that you're running correctly, that you're having good planning technique and all of those sorts of parts because as well, now going back to the whole meeting side of it, ultra marathon runners tend to be very focused, very high achieving people, people with a type a personalities and sit themselves. Speaker 2: (08:15) Big goals. Now I don't know what comes first, the chicken or the belts marathon or having this type of thing, senility, but on average the marathon is a very focused, a high achieving people so that the tops, even one on one floor because they're going to be hitting job done. We're very good at gold seating. And we're very good at overcoming obstacles now, ultra marathon running. And to know it takes a long time. It takes massive amount of discipline. It requires sacrifice. It requires that you can push through pain, never sometimes you boredom, you have to go through all and you have to understand the whole risk of what I'm doing for. So there are lot of skills that you learn along the way as an ultra marathon runner that can really benefit every other aspect of your life. In fact, this is what my, my, what my bread and butter is, is going in talking to corporates and doing motivational speaking and talking about the benefits that you get when we push outside the comfort zone. Speaker 2: (09:23) You bring something like ultramarathons and it's not just there, but and how you can apply those lessons into dining life. Now if any of you know me know my story with my mum and if I had been an ultra marathon runner, I don't think I would have had, I know I wouldn't have had the skills to be able to fight through all the obstacles that we faced. The fear and bringing her back to full health again. And so I'm a real proponent on the power of all of those things that you learned while pushing the limits that will help you in life. And on that note, I've got mum's book, I've just finished writing mum's book. It's now at formatting stage and it will be being released in March, 2020. The book was called relentless and it's telling the story of what I did and how I want my mum back from being in the, not much over a vegetative state to being full back into life fully and the payment, driver's license, everything and the journey that we need bond, there's a lot of mindset stuff with a lot of personal development. Speaker 2: (10:29) There's a lot of toughness. It's always have lots of stories from the running because that sort of illustrates a lot of these points. So from a legal point of view, the students that you will learn and you're pushing the stuff that they wrote from their phones, I've gone to benefit for everything in your life, whether it's or you know, corporate job or whether it's new studying for something or you're just your editor or your business, you'll be able to push through barriers and keep going. You learn persistence, you learn discipline, you learn to overcome obstacles. You learn to think outside the square. You learned to deal with fear and keep moving anyway. You learn to work for massive fatigue and pain and keep going and just doing so many great things. And that fire, he liked that of going for an ultra marathon who stained you in really good state for everything in life. Speaker 2: (11:22) Now, on average, a ultra marathon runners also have less sick ties. So from an employer's perspective, these are the guys you want to be blind because they're going to have nice time off, especially as I get older this time off for my medical problems. And they States [inaudible] statistical fact from studies that have been done. So another good breeze. Now another one is confidence. The men, a confidence that you're going to get when you push yourself and you overcome obstacles to achieve an ultramarathon, then who are going to have a lot more confidence or anything that you're going to be facing a lot now doing ultra-marathons typically they are in places that are beautiful, amazing off the beaten track. I mean, I've had the privilege of running now raising prices around the world. I've done a 2000 cases to hire of the Moroccans to Howard's tossed the museum, the Arabian visit, the Olympian [inaudible], Jordan Gobi desert, fifth Valley and USA different paths in the Outback of Australia, the Indian Himalayas, hip laced Himalayas, you know, and build on the forest. Speaker 2: (12:31) So you know, these, these races typically run in some pretty out the special places where you get to experience different cultures and experience itself in these different functions, in a different environment and pushing your limits. So stuff that you learned there is also super, super valuable from an institutional point of view. I truly believe that we are born to run this. My good friend Chris McDougall's book born to onesies. We are born around this. This is what our ancestors have done throughout millennia is moved. Well, we'll run long distances every single day. And that's what keeps us healthy and strong. And we are very good at that. We back in the caveman days, we were doing consistent hunting when we would at run out pray. So this has a long, long history. It's not just Monday mean woman out the influence of marathons. This has history to it. Speaker 2: (13:32) Since what we've done. In fact, I've tried to get off the ground a TV series called run the planet. A friend of mine and we tried it. We ended up doing islet for the series and the Outback of Australia reenacting an Aboriginal median of the prime. And that was just one of the stories that we uncovered. We uncovered all these phones all around the world, different tribes that were proof that as humans, we've always done this long visit stuff. I mean, if you've read, born to run, if you haven't must go on, we bet book as well. That's more about the Tarahumara and the insulin non for their insurance Bates. So this really goes back to now and since from way of being and I think it's, you know, part of the reason why we, we do so well in the sport now the other exists, you don't have to be 20 years old, be successful in this sport. Speaker 2: (14:35) You don't, your life isn't over. It's 25. In fact, an ultra marathon running the average age is about 42 for ultra marathon manners. The average age of the first time ultrarunners is 30 sect. Your endurance apparently doesn't pick around, 48 and from there on it's only a very slow decline. So a 19 year old and a 64 year old are currently on the same Naval and there's lots of sets that I've come up with. These are from different studies, as I said. So it's the sort of thing Excel at later on life. And you also will find that the more experience that you have, the baby you will become. So it's not just about things, but physically it's very much about having experienced by some different situations and different difficulties from having the ability to overcome those affect, make seeds. Speaker 2: (15:34) So age doesn't have to be a barrier in ultra marathon money, which it is for most sports. Let's be honest. You can't be a professional rugby player at the age of the new can't, you know, I don't know the top of your game and netball, you know, later on in life you have to have done it early days. Certainly the things that gymnastics and so on, they'd say it's young person's fault, but this is really a sport. The people that sell in experience counts. Another great thing I think is that woman did particularly well and ultra marathon running because it's statistically Minnesota better than us over the other, the, you know, distances. But the longer the distance that, the closer that gets. And certainly in some of the biggest vices in the world, a woman has been on the top of the podium. Many fonts. Speaker 2: (16:24) So there's not that much difference. The plane, the sixes as there is most sports, Europe comes down to muscle, out of spring or all out speed because ultra marathoning is really more about what's up here and how come we have a, it's women. We have a I've read some studies that we have a beta ability to bring, set then advised on average. I don't know what the latest studies are on that, but it does seem in my experience of running all around the world and seeing Hogan and muse license we often would close to the top if not at the top. And I'm diff Valley for a couple of times, a woman's field top of the podium. And so it's quite exciting. Sort of labels out the the differences in the sixes and the different sense. And it also teaches you the overcome fears. Speaker 2: (17:20) I think this is one of the biggest advances in say we have fear every day in our lives and move by some difficult situations and huge amount of change and transformation that we're going through as a society. And learning to deal with Thea and function anyway isn't really good thing. And you do have fears when are doing out cause suspicion. If you're doing in bang like item fuck, I've done a lot of them. Or if you're running through the night in the middle of the mountain or somewhere on your own, same theory. You know, so you learn to function with that. It can also lower your anxiety if you're out wounding up cortisol and well it's not completely true. Do smell cortisol when you're actually training, but on average it no is more anxiety because we'd go outside and stuff. Okay. Speaker 2: (18:15) So those are all of the pros that I've come up with for ultra marathon money and four, there's a whole lot more. Another great thing is that you belong to a pretty expensive corporate people. You know, it's only like 0.0 is there. 0.1% of the population or whatever it is that actually does ultramarathons and certainly in the longer ultra-marathons. So you know, for the paddle and the social aspect because I'm so not to be underestimated, typically in not marathoning. It's not just about the winners and it's not just about winning, it's about overcoming the self and overcoming the obstacles and human nature. It's not all for most of us, it's not about being at the top of the podium. And that's not the number one thing that people cite when they were made set out to do marathon. And it isn't even worth that time. Speaker 2: (19:08) It's not like marathon running where it's all about what's fun to do, doing on the three hours, one to four hours or whatever you about Aaron. It's all very, you know, a measuring contest. It's not so much the same as we've certainly in trial visits. It's far more about finding out what you're made of in becoming stronger doing it. So it meets only out to some of the cons of it. This is bad. This is all running out marathons or the dangers of funny marathons. Socially, some of these are run very dangerous places. Like I said I had some pretty scary times and some of those pieces between the Sahara and Egypt and Niger, Jordan and places that were, you know, pretty dodgy. Not only from a nature to speak of but also from the people and going from bull zones and stuff like that. Speaker 2: (20:03) Okay. So whoever don't know phone, but we do put ourselves in dangerous situations. Sometimes we might be running for mountains in the middle of the night and what the alone. So there is an element of danger a lot on it as a, you know, the draw card of this, but it is possible just bonded. The next thing for disadvantages on say would be like sacrificing hell of a lot of time in the, in your life to do an ultra marathon. Even though like we money coaching and coaching can speak of and not high mileage poachers. So we try to keep the time commitment within reason to prepare for marathons. And we probably have spring training and Emma ability training and the nutrition and the mindset is part of all that echoed. However, it's still a relatively based in this sort of to prepare well for an ultra marathon. Speaker 2: (21:05) In this means sacrificing time with your loved ones, your children, your partner, your business, your life. You know, it goes on bold when you're appearing for something scary rights. And that followed back over my life. I probably asked a lot of of my, you know, my husband or my, my parents certainly and my friends to, you know, put up with the fact that I'm not really available for them cause I'm off funding some ridiculous thing every day. So there is a real big sacrifice and that's something that, you know, the last couple of years I couldn't do, I had to reborrow my life with mum being so ill and with business and you know, you can't always commit to that level of dedication that doesn't require it. Makes it difficult okay. So what are some of the other stuff right from a, from a health speak though? Speaker 2: (22:01) I'll tell you some of the, the, the health issues that I've come across. And these may or may not affect you. And I've done some pretty extreme things to my body. So, you know, take this with a grain of salt doing it. Okay. You're not going to have a lot of dates, but you can get problems with your kidneys. So rhabdomyolysis is a very common problem among salt marathon one. So this is where your body starts to break down. It's muscle proteins and if the crystals get pumped up into your kidneys, and this can cause kidney damage. Now this is usually temporary but rhabdomyolysis and something that needs to type seriously with new set to say like pockets and fluid and you're getting a little Tommy, you would normally wouldn't. And you're racing in. It could be that your kidneys are having a hard time keeping up with the breakdown of the muscles that's happening. Speaker 2: (22:58) So kidney damage is a, is a, it's a real problem, especially if you're also running dehydrated and they looked spray me hot climates. That's what I specialized in. And I had read the Milo's this dozens of times in my life and I have kidney problems. One of the reasons why I'm not doing anything don't really want to end up on dialysis and they're not near that yet. But if I want to have longevity, the net is something that has made two problems. Another problem that I ran into is burnout and adrenal exhaustion. So I have made the trouble with my HPA access to hyper cell on that three adrenal exes. My cortisol levels are got out from the amount of stress that I've put my body and my mind through the life. So not just ultra running, but we've had a big play crushing the absolute boundaries of time. Speaker 2: (24:00) And this is had other knock on effects for my house that can't hundred percent par light, but I believe it's contributed to a lot of the problems that I've got. So burnout is a real problem. Cortisol As a problem. Cortisol cortisol Titans, cortisol graph of, of what your cortisol is doing during the day. We can do this for we could save it. That's not good. And cortisol is the responsible for so many things in their life and their body. So we need our bodies on the streets for example. They, we are shutting down our immune system. We're not shutting it down, but we have definitely hindering our immune system. We are hindering out by distance systems so we can end up with just the problems and we could get sick and we're opening the door to lots of problems and possible diseases cause we are on the streets and since threes we either it comes in the form of maintenance freeze or from running marathons or from a emotional stress, from relationships and so on. Speaker 2: (25:10) All of these things, you have a stress bucket and if you're putting too much into it and ultra marathon training, aid running is a big part of that story slowed. So if you have a very bad express job and would have very hot and streets relationship and children and men, you've gone from marathon money on top of that, you can overload your bucket and you can in that major trap. Trouble. Health wise you can stress is the number one killer in the world. Okay, so in something that needs to be taken into consideration, exercise is a form of stress for your body. It's a form of stress that when we are not overloaded with other thoughts and sprays that we say good for us and causes us to adapt and change to get stronger. However, if you are overdoing it over, over committing more resources to the training thing, stress can be very, very big for meaningful to every health system in your body, from your hormones, for your adrenalin's, your cortisol, straighten your heart through United that it your budgets and system, your immune system. Speaker 2: (26:18) As I say, all of these affect us can be effective and that's one of the reasons why running hot coat thing, we had something called a wellness cheek, which is, it's a simple little spreadsheet that we liked to get our athletes to fill out every day to see where they're sitting. On a span of one to 10, how would your sleep, how was your experience with those? How were your injuries? And we have a homeless. The things that they go through and if they very low scores, they will pull them back on the train and if they have very high scores in, they can go for it. You can also do this with heart rate variability. If you've got a access to a monitors that will check your heart rate, your ability and we'll give you sort of similar feedback. So whether you use the analog or about thinking outage that doesn't something that we need to keep an eye on. Speaker 2: (27:06) The total stress. So don't get into overtraining. I mean, of course another negative effect is possible injuries, whether that's, you know, breaking language or fell over or twisting your ankle or hitting overused injuries. We'd have problems with amazement, MEPS in the back or these things. And a lot of this chain be mitigated, can't be rolled out obviously, but can be mitigated like doing run specific spring training and training. And that's what we're really big on the spring training for Latinas. It's not cross training, it is running frame. It's a part of running frame. Need to be doing a strength boot that needs strong hips, needs, strong core, we need strong alphabet needs, strong quads. And all of these things have a, a real one to one correlation with how many injuries you will face over your lifetime. So strength training is a really important aspect for that end, so as mobility, but it's strictly a straight thing. Speaker 2: (28:02) Your [inaudible] yoga, your myofacial release message, find Molly or those things don't complete those aspects. We were really big on those and making sure that you're doing those and don't run into these injury problems. And things like yoga can really calm the body down and get you into a parasympathetic state. So this means that you actually lowering the splits, lowering for the sole release and best for really benefit you as well. So it's about balancing them out. So meditation, deep breathing exercises, yoga or these things help balance out the running training. So running planning is a sympathetic activity, meaning it's texting the sympathetic nervous system. It's not parasympathetic, it's not meditation, it's not slowing income down. It's doing the opposite. So sometimes the need to balance that out with, with doing that mobility with doing things like meditation and the breathing and just lowering what's gained those crystals. Speaker 2: (29:11) And so overall street school one of the things that ultra marathon money or negative part of it is that it's a catabolic activity by nature, which means it is eating your muscles slowly and doing an ultra, a really long rope trust. They have the motto blot be earning a hell of a lot of Massimo's which is bad for your kidneys but also bad for your musculoskeletal system. And so we need to counteract that with spring training so that you don't end up losing muscle mass and see a lot of older runners especially who look like, you know, beef jerky for the one that I've been away. Very, very thin, very low B in mind, but also very low muscle nays and we don't, it is not good. It is better from a cardiovascular point of view and a B in my point of view. Speaker 2: (30:06) And it's not great from a muscle. We need muscles. We need strength. And we made these aspects to, to keep them strong. We don't want bowl, but we do want strong, you know, strong and muscles that can help us stay up white when we're running on times that helps out this out some of the other sorts of things. So that's, that's that side of it. The catabolic problems. You can also have some basic things happen to like problems with your eyes and you're always outside running and Bri wouldn't be fine. That's, I'm seeing quite a few iron injuries. Sleep deprivation and you're running through days doing outros and even in the training they sleep, trying to fit into your life plus training. So these are negative things. Sleep is just absolutely virtual. Obviously when you're doing an ultra marathon, you in the middle of a under model or a 200 K or what even moved on to have sleep deprivation and you're gonna be completely Gaga. Speaker 2: (31:07) But if in daily life at least can try and given an adequate amount of our slate. Another thing that we have more of is, is math on manners is upper respiratory ailments. So we are more like asthma, we're more likely to have exercise and boots. Asthma, we're likely to have hay fever and allergies cause we're using our lives a lot. We're breathing hard out and so we need to be aware of those and we're not the thing that it's since I've begged for, and I have this on advice from my midwife that it can be quite bad for the pelvic floor for women. And I don't know all the details of that, but we can have problems. So running super long distance, not great for the public form. We need to camp right fit once, gave with some strength exercises typically during outfits and also quite often face things like hitting the wall and nausea and vomiting and distant tree. Speaker 2: (32:09) It's a very glamorous sport. This one. And those are things that people typically passed pretty quickly, but very unpleasant in the moment. And Kim, we ruin your eyes. It's that bad. So I hope I've covered a lot of ground today. Talk flat stick that all the pros and the cons. And I've got two pages here that I've written notes of and I'll tell you what is twice as many pros as there is cons. So just remember that there is some, there, there is some things that you need to be aware of and mitigate. There's also massive amounts of things that are really, really beneficial. So if you've liked this a little sessions today, please give us Amin. I've left a five star rating on iTunes. These little things really help content producers like me, get our word out and get known for what, what you're teaching. Speaker 2: (33:03) So all of that help us. Really, really appreciate it guys.

Dave Nevogt is the co-founder of hubstaff.com which helps businesses easily manage virtual and remote teams through SaaS time tracking, project management, and employee development. He has founded several multi-million dollar internet businesses since the he was 22, and has been working on them since 2003. His start was in online golf instruction in 2003 which he grew to $1.5Million by 2005. He sold those businesses in 2009, and then purchased and ran a larger search engine optimization software company that focused on link building. While building and managing these companies he's managed over 100 virtual employees/contractors concurrently. He also writes a popular blog series that teaches what his team has done to grow Hubstaff to where it is today. Current Revenue streams Hubstaff has been generating enough money to pay out the founders, pay employees' salaries and sustain operations but it doesn't have one sole revenue stream. The business is currently generating $6 Million in annual revenues from selling its software through a SaaS subscription model. Starting out in business Worked for 18 months in a large pharmaceutical company in Chicago. After that he only worked on his own businesses. His first business was a golf instruction e-commerce platform which taught people how to swing a golf club better through videos, eBooks and training aids. Within a year, the business was generating $1.5 Million in revenues and had customers globally. The business taught him his first skills in running an online business. Scaling up the first business quickly Dave believes it was a right place, right time scenario because he picked the right business and the right market. The business was very unique because there were only a few people doing what he was doing. The business's quick growth was made possible by the high conversion rates the site was getting because he was using very cheap and unsaturated advertising channels like email marketing. Dave then sold off half of the business. Transition to the next business In the course of selling his business, Dave met one buyer in particular who used to buy underperforming ecommerce businesses, turn them around and sell them for a profit. Dave and the buyer bought a software related company together. With Dave managing its operations, the business started generating $2 Million in revenues from selling content. That gave him hands-on experience in running a software related company. They eventually sold off the business. He also started Hubstaff while still running the software company. He currently runs the marketing and operations side of Hubstaff while his partner runs the technical (development) side of the company with each of them working with a team of 10 and 12 employees respectively. The Hubstaff idea While running the golf business, Dave was in dire need of software that would help him manage his technical staff since he had no technical knowledge and therefore needed to make sure he was effectively tracking their performance to ensure projects were being done on time and in the expected way. That need gave Dave the initial idea of developing Hubstaff. He was also inspired by the need to develop a product that would give value to people, that they would use every day in their businesses. Hubstaff uses time tracking to enable business owners manage their virtual and remote employees by ensuring they are doing what they are expected to do at the right time. The software also acts like an activity tool. Once he came up with the idea for Hubstaff, Dave looked for a local co-founder. They both invested $26,000 each into the start-up and started the development of the first applications which cost about $40,000. They invested the remainder of the capital into advertising and building traffic for the app. They initially launched the app on free trial basis in order to test the market and once they discovered that it was a highly viable...
