In this very impromptu video, I will go through the pros and cons of living in the Philippines and hiring Filipinos for your company. This video was done at the Nomad Summit in Chiang Mai, Thailand. We discuss why the Philippines is the best place to go to for growing your business at the early stages when you are still bootstrapping your business.
