| 0:00.0 | All right, so here's the deal. I just came from our 25-person all-hands meeting with all my staff at Hampton. |
| 0:08.6 | About four of the 25 people there, they were people we found via a company called Oceans. |
| 0:15.3 | Offshoring, it gets a bad rap. And it gets a bad rap because a lot of people think that the people you hire via |
| 0:21.8 | offshoring firms are low-level talent and do low-level work, or they just do stuff that AI is |
| 0:28.0 | already replacing. That is not true at all. The people who we have, they help us with marketing, |
| 0:33.4 | they do operations, and we treat them as fully part of our team because they are. |
| 0:39.5 | And what's great about oceans is you can get top talent and finance marketing operations, |
| 0:44.0 | basically any role that you're hiring for, for only about $3,000, at least that's the starting |
| 0:48.9 | point. |
| 0:49.6 | And you can get amazing, talented people in like two weeks. |
| 0:52.9 | I think we've got one of these folks who work for us. I think we've got her in like five days and she's amazing. We've worked with her for like a year now. If you don't want to burn a lot of cash, but you still want the best high caliber people, you guys got to check them out. It's oceanstalent.com. And please tell them that Sam sent you and they're going to give you a little bit extra special |
| 1:11.5 | treatment. Again, oceanstalent.com. |
| 1:18.4 | Amber Lee was dead, literally dead. Her heart had stopped and it was defibrillators that brought |
| 1:22.9 | her back. And when she woke up, this was the first thing she said. Bring me my laptop. I'm launching this business and he's like, you're crazy. You're not working from the hospital. I'm like, yes, I am. For 20 years, Amber made millions for other people. But after a near-death experience, she realized it was time to bet on herself. That was five years ago, and the bet paid off. Last year, we each paid ourselves |
| 1:45.7 | almost a million dollars. But for Amber, it's not about the money. Her business is her freedom. |
| 1:52.6 | Amber's story is compelling as hell, and we'll get all the details. But what we also found |
| 1:56.3 | equally as fascinating when putting all this episode together is what she does. Her day-to-day is |
| 2:01.3 | matchmaking, specifically for high-net worth and high-profile people, and we're going to hear |
| 2:05.2 | all about it. I'm Harry Morton, and this is Moneywise, a podcast about what life looks like after |
| 2:11.2 | you've made it. It's made for the Hampton community, a founders doing at least three million |
| 2:15.1 | in annual revenue, so more on that later, or you can |
