If you’re running your business like a one-person army—doing the emails, the onboarding, the follow-ups, the hiring, the fires, the midnight “urgent” messages—you already know the truth:

You’re not running your business.
Your business is running you.

In this special Thanksgiving episode of Sip & Scale, I sat down with two of the people who keep Delegate running behind the scenes every single day: Jan Vega-Ramos (COO) and Vincent Dan Mijares (Recruitment Manager).

This isn’t just a conversation about hiring VAs.
It’s a conversation about the backbone of modern businesses, the Filipino talent that carries so much of the global workforce with heart, grit, and reliability that’s almost impossible to match.

We talk about the pain points that every founder goes through: the overwhelm, the broken processes, the “I’ll just do it myself” trap, the burnout, the fear of delegating, the endless hiring headaches, and how all of these start to disappear the moment you bring in the right Filipino VA.

Jan and Vincent also pull back the curtain on what really happens inside Delegate.co: how we recruit, how we match talent, how we build remote culture, and why so many founders fail at delegation simply because they hire the wrong way.

And since it’s Thanksgiving, we also talk about gratitude…what we’re thankful for, what we’ve learned, and why building a people-first business will always beat any piece of software or automation.

What You’ll Learn:

👉 Why Filipino VAs are unmatched when it comes to loyalty, initiative, and heart
👉 The mistakes founders make when hiring their first VA
👉 Why working 24/7 is not “hustle”, it’s a system failure
👉 How trust, culture, and communication shape every successful remote team
👉 What most foreign founders get wrong about Filipino talent
👉 Why the Philippines has become the global hub for world-class remote workers
👉 The truth behind talent matching and why hiring fast is the fastest way to fail
👉 The leadership habits that separate scalable companies from struggling ones

This episode is real, raw, and honestly… long overdue.

If you’re scaling, hiring, drowning in tasks, or thinking about bringing on your first VA, this conversation will open your eyes to what’s actually possible.

Filipino talent isn’t just support, it’s your competitive advantage.

Tune in and see why.
