Hello, world, welcome to discover your talent, do what you love.

I'm your host, Don Hutchison.

Every Tuesday, I interview someone from around the world who's discovered their talents to do work they love to create a life of success, satisfaction, and freedom.

On Fridays, I interview an individual with many years of experience from one of the most popular or interesting occupations or professions who shares an insider's look at what it's really like to do what they do.

I'm delighted to bring you our featured guest, Barbara Turley. Welcome, Barbara.

Hi, Don. Thank you for having me on the show. It is our pleasure. Barbara, are you using your

talents doing work that you love? I am, yes. I am very much so now, and I have at various points in my career as well.

Also various points I haven't, but that's something we can explore, talk more about.

Exactly, exactly. Barbara is an investor, entrepreneur, and founder and CEO of the virtual hub,

a business she started by accident that exploded in the space of 12 months

to become one of the leading companies that recruits, trains, and manages virtual assistance

in the digital marketing and social media space for businesses who need to free up time and

energy so they can go to the next level. She's also mom to her gorgeous daughter Ruby,

wife to her best friend Eti, and an adventure lover with a passion for horses, skiing, tennis,

and time outs in nature. Well, that's a summary of your remarkable life, Barbara. Tell our

listeners around the world what you're engaged in right now that has you motivated and excited, if you would please. Sure. Look, you know, I think like many of us,

we always want to have some sort of impact in life. And I think when you make career choices

early on in life, you don't think so much about that. But when you get into your 30s and early

40s, you want to do something that impacts and influences

in a positive way, the world. And I think a lot of us spend a long time searching for that.

And I've been very lucky to accidentally find a path to that in a way that I didn't think

that I would. So, you know, for anyone listening, I always say, you know, when I say I ended up in an accidental business, it is very much that. But I ended up fulfilling the same sort of life vision, but through a different pathway than I originally thought. So today, I have the virtual hub, which is we have 100 employees now in the Philippines.
