What do you know about remote work?
Yep. Us too. We all know pretty much everything there is to know about remote work. Nothing more to learn here.
But here's another question: What do you know about being a military spouse?
Our guest on the podcast today is Liza Rodewald, CEO of Instant Teams. Liza is a military spouse who moved frequently with her family. She's also an accomplished software engineer who ran her own business for over a decade building custom enterprise applications for government and commercial clients. Liza and her cofounder realized there were millions of military spouses around the world just like them who were highly skilled and well qualified to work on distributed teams. And when they learned there were thousands of businesses that needed help scaling remote teams for customer support and operations, they realized they were onto something big.
Liza shares her journey as an "accidental entrepreneur," and explains how she went from running her own technology consulting business to launching a venture-backed tech company. Liza shares her perspective on building a fully remote business, learning to manage a growing team, and raising venture capital. You can learn all about how Liza and her team are helping military spouses the world over find fulfilling work at www.instantteams.com, and you can follow them on Twitter @Instant_Teams.
