Interview with Staffing Entrepreneur Erik Reid:
As home-based entrepreneurs, we often have to become guerilla fighters in our businesses. This leads to adopting innovative ways to succeed in business.
One innovative way is to "flip the model" in the industry you want to break in to. Flip that model and break the chains that hold you back from succeeding in your targeted market.
A Case in point is Erik Reid, one of the two brains behind the company Virtustant (Virtustant.com). Erik Reid, along with his partner Kevin Wright, run Virtustant, a company that's connecting businesses with top remote talent in regions like Latin America. What's most intriguing is how they're flipping traditional hiring models to launch and grow Virtustant.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
