Listen "Work from anywhere… but what about borders? - with John Lee"

Episode Synopsis

We’ve seen a dramatic rise in people working from home through the pandemic, but what about our digital nomads and remote workers, and others who wish to explore our world while they work. For organizations that wish to draw from a global talent pool and benefit from the diversity that it inherently brings, you’ll want to stay on the right side of the the law…especially as they are evolving.Joining me today is the co-founder of Work From Anywhere and remote work compliance specialist, John Lee. Having already launched a startup related to cultural understanding, John now focuses on assisting organizations and individuals in assessing risk and ensuring compliance around remote work. Tune in as John shares what individuals and organization must consider when it come to remote work, the demographic shifts that will influence our future - such as the confluence of remote work with global migration and AI - and learn how you can get a quick answer to complex questions about managing risk.Co-Founder and CEO, John Lee speaks 6 languages and has travelled to 60+ countries. Over the last 20 years he has lived in Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands and Thailand. His previous start-up, CultureMee, an intercultural communication platform, won “Best Travel Technology Product” at the Global Youth Travel Awards in 2018. Prior to CultureMee, John held senior finance roles in FTSE listed CRH Plc. There, he travelled to over 150+ locations over a 10 year period and got to see first hand the challenges of dealing with complex corporate tax, individual tax and employment law across multiple jurisdictions.CHAPTERS00:00:00 Intro00:05:02 How John came up with the idea for Work From Anywhere 00:09:50 The evolution of remote work00:10:50 Digital nomad versus remote worker00:19:00 Elevated skill set 00:23:15 Balancing tax rates to attract both organizations and employees00:28:30 Demographic changes and global migration00:32:00 Whom does "Work From Anywhere" serve?LinksCRHVox Article "The Return to the Office Won't Save the Office"Laila VonWorld Economic Forum article “The next billion workers”Running Remote CommunityInternational Remote Work: Global Talent Impact, Taxes to LivesIMAGE CREDITS (see images on Youtube video)Cascais - credit Elements EnvatoWork from Anywhere logo - credit websiteDeloitte logo - Wiki CommonsCRH logo - credit websiteWorld map - credit Elements EnvatoRibbon Cutting - credit Elements EnvatoDigital Nomad- credit ElementsMap and Passports - credit Elements EnvatoSon huggin father - credit CanvaRemote work - credit CanvaAmerican Airlines image - Wiki CommonsFuturist Map - credit Elements EnvatoNick Bloom headshot - credit LinkedInReturn to office - credit Elements EnvatoKids and dad - credit Elements EnvatoJohn and family - credit John LeeLearn more about and follow guest(s):Facebook
