FLAME with Brad Hook
Entrepreneurship in the Time of Remote Work
Le-an Lai Lacaba's company 2xYou has one mission: turning entrepreneurs who own a job into entrepreneurs who own a business — with remote executive assistants as the lever.
Le-an built her company remote-first from the Philippines, which gives her advice a practicality most delegation content lacks: she has trained the assistants, built the systems and watched exactly where founders fail to let go. The bottleneck is rarely the assistant — it's the owner's relationship with control.
We cover the journey from solo operator to real business, building connection and growth culture in a remote team, and the delegation practices that actually stick. Compact and useful for anyone whose business still lives entirely in their own head.
