Customer Support Representative

Ever since uni, I wanted to build my own "thing", fortunately, I was given the best piece of advice I'd ever been given, period.

I'm always wary of advice given by others but this guy happened to be the CEO of America's 1st publicly traded furniture company so my ears pricked up.

He said, "Son, your missing 3 key components:

1. You've got no experience
2. You've got no money and
3.  You've got no business losses in the game"

I was DJ'ing at the timing working 12-hour weeks making $1,500, but honestly, he was right I had no clue what "work" was.

He said, "Go work for a start-up, where you control a large majority of the output. Make mistakes on their dime, get your reps. Once you've learned all that, then start your own journey."

And that's exactly what I did. For 2.5 years I worked for a clothing brand as the in-house marketing manager. In that time frame, I made countless mistakes, with countless all-nighters and stacked the chips in my favour. In the end, we took that brand from $503k to $10.8 million in 2.5 years.

From my experience working brand-side, we saw a complete breakdown of the advertising agencies. Their king of spin sales teams, promising the world and delivering sweet FA.

That left a sour taste in my mouth. With my love of brand, building solidified, I wanted the ability to partner with brand builders. People who defied conventionality and saw the "commercial agency" the same way I did broken and unable to provide the experience of a team tailored for their brand's growth.

That is the reason I co-founded thatsgood+ STUDIO and I now get to work with some of the most unique brands in Australia.

We ran all sides of paid marketing. We're a small team and always will be to keep impact high and 1-1 collaboration at the core of TGS.

These are just some of what brands have had to say so far:

“Working closely with the team at Thats Good Studio for over a 2 years has been a dream...Creating an omnichannel paid strategy, helping scale Merchants and implementing creative tech solutions. It’s a relationship that goes way beyond business; we’re glad they’re the team by our side.”

"We've been able to grow from 6 figures to 8 figures, with Laura and Sabian's help and guidance far beyond driving and scaling our ads...”

“We’ve worked with agencies in the past, they didn’t get our brand or the results we needed. TGS has decreased our CAC 5.8x from $162.28 to $27.98. Whilst showing us how to grow our brand for the long-term- guns.”

Transforming Visions into AI MVPs & Products | Founder @Duty Ventures | Ex {Google, Apple and Amazon}

Hi, I’m Cosmin, the Founder and Lead Engineer of Duty Ventures. 

After some experience as a software developer in companies such as Google, Apple, and Amazon, I decided to launch my project.

With several former colleagues and college friends, we launched our own startup specializing in software development for entrepreneurs and customers needing software development services. 

Duty Ventures is all about developing software products from start to finish, thanks to the experiences we have all acquired in the past years.

One of our most successful services is aimed at entrepreneurs and early-stage founders, for whom we provide an MVP-builder service getting their product from 0 to 1 within weeks!

However, our services are not limited to that. The teams we create do much more than just create MVPs and are able to adapt to the different technologies requested, all of this in an agile way.

Our most recurrent services are the following:
- MVP creation
- Custom Software Development
- Blockchain Development
- Mobile Development
- Checkout pages
- E-Commerce

And our most used technologies are:
- Ruby on Rails
- React
- React Native
- Java
- NodeJS

Engineering Teams for Ambitious Founders | Founder @Duty Ventures | Ex {Google, Apple and Amazon}

Perhaps my biggest lesson from working more than 5 years providing Software Development Services is: don’t burn bridges. It’s hard to do it. At some point, you might not deliver as well as you used to. There are peaks, and they are valleys. We need to be able to cross both, since we only have a North Star. What’s important is the process, not the outcome. If you focus on the process, the right outcomes will naturally come.

Now back to my idea: no matter what happens with a relationship, it’s best to end it on good terms. Make sure both sides are happy after moving in completely different directions. Why? Because really, that leaves the door open for future opportunities. This happened to me! Not once, not twice, but many times. Your current project might end, but the founder will have another side project they want to pursue, or they will move to a high-growth startup that could use your expertise.

It’s easier and better to invest in current and previous relationships than to build new ones. But one needs to do both for the best outcomes.

Remote work sounds simple. Hire from anywhere. Get talent everywhere.

But here’s what nobody tells you - compliance is a minefield.

Every country has its own labor laws, tax codes, regulations. What’s fine in the US might get you flagged in Germany or India.

I’ve worked with startups scaling global teams and seen founders blindsided by fines, audits, or even payroll freezes. Usually because they tried to copy-paste a US process onto the world.

Here’s what I tell anyone building a remote team:
- Never assume the rules are the same. Research each country before you hire.
- Don’t rely on guesswork. Use proper global payroll and compliance platforms.
- If you’re unsure, talk to a local expert. A quick check can save you months of trouble.
- Pay attention to IP and confidentiality laws. These differences can bite you later.

Bottom line: remote work makes geography irrelevant for talent, but not for compliance.

Get this wrong, and small mistakes become big distractions. Get it right, and your team can focus on what matters.

Ran into compliance surprises building your team? I’d love to hear what happened and what you learned.
