This week I sit down with Melissa Mellor, the CEO at Hey U Human, a mental health and human wellness company. We dig in to the power of emotional intelligence and how mental health for you and your team can set you up for incredible success personally and professionally.

About:

Melissa Mellor is the CEO of Hey U Human globally recognized mental health and human wellness company. They serve corporations and individuals in over 80 countries around the world and within over 15 different applications. Hey U Human truly does business differently – in every aspect of the meaning. From hiring + pay to how they sell and lead their team and support their human development in a vastly different way. Most notably, Melissa + the Hey U Human Founder, Sara Longoria, recently walked away from a business model that acted like a ‘cash machine’ and did a massive pivot in how they conducted business. One day, they realized how their marketing efforts hijacked people's dopamine and created a “FOMO” and lack addiction that forces them to spend money. They were communicating only to people who had the luxury of disposable income and wanted their work to get into the hands of the masses. So they launched Hey U Human and changed everything about how they do business.

When you think of the ‘workplace of the future’ Hey U Human is the epitome of it. Through Hey U Human, Melissa is revolutionizing leadership and how businesses conduct work and lead their staff. Melissa is passionate about igniting humanity, waking humans up, and helping infrastructures and institutions understand mental health and human wellness through a completely different lens. A lens through which the company is no longer reacting to mental health issues and pandering to personnel complaints. One that proactively engages the whole human to create an unstoppable workforce. If you are a human with emotions, or you interact with other humans with emotions, you will want to tune into this podcast.

Embark with us on a riveting entrepreneurial odyssey as David Nilssen, CEO of Doxa Talent, traces his path from teenage Subway franchise manager to real estate maven, and then to the vanguard of remote hiring innovation. David's candid tales of founding Guidant Financial and later Doxa Talent offer an insider's view of the entrepreneurial spirit, coupled with a dash of audacity and a keen eye for opportunities amidst challenges. Our conversation digs into the birth of Doxa Talent, a company that's breaking new ground by connecting small to medium-sized businesses with the rich vein of offshore talent in the Philippines, reshaping the hiring landscape.
Shifting gears, we probe into the contemporary workforce's evolving psyche and the burgeoning trend towards embracing offshore staffing, a testament to the world's ever-tightening interconnectedness. As a host who has benefitted from such global collaborations, I can confirm the myths of offshore labor are just that—myths. Our discussion illuminates the Philippines' unique work culture, attuned to U.S. business rhythms, and the broader implications of remote hiring, from English fluency improvements worldwide to dispelling the scarcity of skilled labor. David and I dissect the intimate dance of work-life balance and productivity in this new, decentralized business world.
In our final narrative stretch, we project our gaze onto the horizon, contemplating the future landscape of remote work and outsourcing, with COVID-19 as the unexpected catalyst. This segment unveils how businesses can flourish in remote or hybrid models by fostering a culture of purpose, leadership, and community. We delve into the exciting role AI and emerging technologies like AR and VR are playing in redefining the remote work environment. Through David's insights, we glean lessons on equality in remote workplaces and the pivotal shift in management from oversight to outcome focus—key strategies for anyone charting a course through the evolving seas of remote work. Join us for a dialogue brimming with actionable wisdom for entrepreneurs and business leaders steering their ships in the 21st-century workforce.
