In the developing world, you have traffic North Americans couldn't comprehend unless they'd been there. Very few people that we employ have the means to live within a close vicinity of an office. If you are at a $5 to $8 an hour type salary, you're living out a long way away. And your journey to the office is typically two to three hours each way. The commute is a complete waste of time. And so when you have and you give people the right infrastructure to be able to work from home, it gives them four to six hours a day, or sometimes eight to 10 hours a day, depending on where people were coming from, of their life back. My name is Adam Pisko. I'm one of the co-founders of Bruntwork.co.
This is Code Story. A podcast bringing you interviews with tech visionaries. Who share what it takes to change an industry. Who built the teams that have their back.
Keeping scalability top of mind.
All that infrastructure was a pain. Yes, we've been fighting it as we grow. Total waste of time. The stories you don't read in the headlines. It's not an easy thing to achieve, Mike. Took off the shelf and dusted it off and tried it again. To ride the ups and downs of the startup life. You need to really want it. It's not just about technology. All this and more on CodeStory. I'm your host, Noah Labpart. And today, how Adam Pisk is enabling you to outsource anything, making it easy for you to distribute your workforce. This episode is sponsored by Speakeasy.

Adam Pisk lives in Sydney, Australia, and just turned 45. He has five-year-old twins, and at the time of this recording, had just taken them on a trip to explore theme parks. He enjoys good wine, good steak, and good people, and the best place you can get a steak? In his backyard on his pit. But outside of this, as he puts it, he is unfortunately one of those people that really enjoys their work, i.e. considers it a hobby. Adam started his outsourcing journey in 2001, specifically in the manufacturing industry. He couldn't get the engineers he needed and built an offshore engineering team. And once he got that working, he wondered what else he could outsource. Eventually, he offshored operations for a different company and noticed all metrics improved. Again, realizing there's something to this. This is the creation story of Brunt Work.
We're an outsourcing company. What that means is that we have staff in six countries around the world, predominantly Colombia and the Philippines, but in other locations as well. North American companies, European companies, Australian companies generally will engage us and we then find the best global talent for them. And we then engage with that talent, with those staff, and they work directly then for those other companies. In simple terms, what it means is a company from the US goes, I need someone to do this job rather than looking for someone in the surrounding five mile radius who can come to an office every day and you're limited to the depth of talent.
