How do you keep remote staff accountable without falling into the trap of micromanagement? In this episode of The Pilates Business Podcast, host David Gunther and Onlinejobs.ph founder, John Jonas take you inside the practice playbook for managing Filipino virtual assistants and remote teams.
Building on last week’s conversation about trust and long-term loyalty, this episode moves from philosophy into practice, showing you exactly how to balance freedom with accountability in your Pilates business.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why judging staff by productivity, not attendance, transforms remote work.
- The “daily three-question report” that keeps everyone aligned.
- When SOPs are useful, and when they actually slow you down.
- How to design an interview lead-up process that reveals true fit, without scaring away great candidates.
- Why cultural awareness is key to long-term success with Filipino virtual staff.
Today, we translate that trust into action with systems that keep your team on track without suffocating them.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
