The Leap of Faith in Remote Hiring

Hiring your first remote team member can feel like stepping off a cliff. But what if that leap of faith is the key to time freedom and sustainable growth for your Pilates studio?   

In the final episode of the Remote Teams for Pilates Studio series, host David Gunther speaks with John Jonas, founder of OnlineJobs.ph, about the realities of hiring and managing remote staff.  

Together, they explore why trust, retention, and open conversations are more valuable than “quick fixes,” and how small businesses can create loyal teams that free owners to focus on growth. If you’re hesitating to outsource, this conversation will help you see what’s possible when you take the leap.
