Briefing In
Picture this: You're seated at home in your cozy little work-from-home space, and it’s serene and quiet. Too quiet, in fact, that you start to miss chitchatting with co-workers at the office.
Introducing "Briefing In," the ultimate podcast for VAs by VAs. Join our laid-back chats on everything from starting a Virtual Assistant journey to navigating the struggles of work-life balance with remote work.
So join us every other Tuesday, whether you're working or simply unwinding, and let Briefing In feel like home.
