On this week's episode, I'm excited as Chris Redmond, the founder and the CEO of RedHolt, is back on the show for the third time.In Q4 2019, he came into my office in East London; we recorded in person together and he claimed that he wanted to be a digital nomad.They’d just got rid of their office, cancelled the lease and were going completely remote.This was a pre-pandemic world and I'll be honest, I thought it was a bit mad. Six months later, the world went into lockdown. Fast-forward nine months and he came back on my daily show, the RAG Report, and talked quite openly about how the systems he'd put in place pre-pandemic meant that he had no real disruption at all. In 2023, Chris lives in Dubai, and he's still got a team in the UK that operate mainly in the media and broadcasting space. They are retained headhunters with a forensic process driven way of working.Chris has built an amazing lifestyle business which has consistently been running at about 60% profit - this is madness in our industry! He's now got the challenge of building a business that can be sold.He wants an exit plan, but how does he navigate that?Chris also lost 35 kg in 2023, and he looks incredible! How did he find the motivation and drive to make this lifestyle change? In this episode, we talk about his professional plan, plus his personal life. And, as Chris does not hold back, we get into as much detail as ever! You don't want to miss it.__________________________________________Hoxo MessageReady to find 25+ warm leads within 7 days on LinkedIn?As a recruiter, most of the working day is spent chasing people via cold outreach on LinkedIn.This method is super time-consuming and most people don’t reply because they simply don’t know or trust you.But it can be different...If you follow the process in this document you will hack the LinkedIn Algorithm in just 15 minutes per day and drive warm leads whenever you want them.A warm lead is a person who you can 100% guarantee knows who you are, and what you do and has shown interest in you and/or your services in the past 48 hours.Over 5000 recruiters around the globe are following this process daily and the results have been amazing!You can have this too!Access the Hoxo 20:10:5 guide here: https://bit.ly/3PLjaJYIf you’d prefer to consume this information directly from our Co-Founder & CEO Sean Anderson (The creator of 20:10:5), you can join our free training course now!Get access to:4 bite-sized training videos that can immediately help you boost business on LinkedInExclusive access to Hoxo 20:10:5 warm leads tracking templateFree support from the Hoxo team to help you implement the process and get the resultsThis course is part of the hugely successful Personal Brand Bootcamp which has seen over 5000 recruiters graduate and drive millions of warm leads and £££ in revenue as a result!Get free access to the course once you’ve downloaded our guide.__________________________________________Episode Sponsor: VincereVincere’s portals are a quick-win solution for agencies in need of a no-code candidate and client portal.
