This week, we continue the conversation about recruiting and remote work. Tamara talks to Karla Porter, Human Capital Advisor and Derek Cotton, Talent Acquisition Manager at Capital Group | American Funds. We covered a lot of ground–how remote work is opening up the talent pool for employers, how job seekers can find the job they want without moving across the country, and the ‘always available’ mentality that has permeated many workplaces. We also discussed the realities of inclusivity & diversity in the workplace (we’ll do a deeper dive in an upcoming episode) and what recruiters say about how to stand out when looking for work.

If one of your New Year’s resolutions is switching jobs, or finding the perfect team member for your new startup or established business, this episode is for you. In fact, our panel of experts had so much actionable, tangible advice that we decided to release it in two parts. In part one, Pavel talks with Maren Kate, serial entrepreneur, founding partner at AvraTalent.com, and author of “Going Remote,”  the ultimate guide to finding and landing a fully remote job that you'll love. Maren shares her insights on how to find the right candidate for the right job in the new landscape of remote recruiting as well as how to stand out if you are looking for work, right now or in the future. A true entrepreneur, Maren is so passionate about remote work, she wrote a book about it during lockdown.

If you are an artist or aspire to be one, this episode is required listening. Pavel talked to music industry pros, Ursula Sage from Patreon and Toolshed founder, Dick Huey about how Covid-19 has impacted the music industry and live performances, how artists are finding creative ways to diversify their revenue streams, and connect with fans, and why artists need to educate themselves on the business of music. Singer/Songwriter JustFrenchie talks to Tamara about how the Covid-19 pandemic and shutdown caused her to dig deep, embrace the hustle, and inspired her to create her latest EP, It’s All Love, available on Spotify, Tidal, Google Play, Apple Music, and basically everywhere. We cover everything from creativity and inspiration to how being an independent artist is more than a full time job. Frenchie talks about how she learned the business side of the music industry, turned herself into a brand and company, and became an expert marketer.

He has also provided digital licensing and consulting services or was an early advisor to Red Bull Music Radio, SoundExchange, Jaxsta, 8tracks, The Orchard, Digital Rights Agency, Red Mountain Ski Resort, and Tunecore.
