VAs After Dark with LeAnn Erimli
Sometimes the best Virtual Assistant isn't the person who knows all the answers.
It's the person who genuinely enjoys figuring them out.
In this episode of VAs After Dark, Rachael sits down with tech VA and problem-solver extraordinaire, LeAnn Erimli, to talk about her nearly three decades in the virtual assistance industry, how she built a business around helping clients untangle technology challenges, and why she still loves learning something new every day.
LeAnn shares how becoming a VA began as a way to create flexibility while raising her special-needs twins, long before "virtual assistant" was even a recognized profession. From receiving handwritten presentations by fax machine to today's complex technology integrations, she's seen the online business world evolve from the very beginning.
If you've ever wished for someone who could make all your technology "talk to each other" without the stress, panic, or judgment, you're going to enjoy getting to know LeAnn.
