Default A Different Perspective..Perhaps? Interview with Winston Stewart
Winston Stewart, the very first male virtual assistant to be guest on A Virtual Perception and this month's VA Spotlight talks about his virtual assistant business, marketing strategies and the challenges he faces by being a male virtual assistant in an industry somewhat dominated by his female counterparts. A lively, fun and enlightening conversation with a Virtual Assistant that has a different perspective on things….or does he? Listen and find out!

I just wanted to quickly say thank you for VAF for allowing AVP to be posted on the forum. AND thank you for everyone that keeps listening.

Darlene

What a great interview with Winston, Darlene! I immensely enjoyed it! I particularly liked hearing about Winston's Press Release and how it came about that it got picked up by a major newspaper. Way cool!

Kudos for another podcast wonderfully well done!

Thank you for the podcast interview. It was certainly nice to hear that a man is basically having the same issues as the women VA's. I think everyone who has an online business has started to look into the social networks to promote their businesses.

I look forward to the next podcast and hope that your class went well.

I just wanted to stop by and say thank you for the comments everyone.

My class was everything I hoped it would be and more! It started out with the Professor hooking up a live control board and playing some Beatles music. That was before the class even started...so I knew it was going to be a great semester

We start recording acoustic guitars next week and I cannot wait. I audio recording.

I had a wonderful time as a guest on AVP with Darlene! From a business perspective, I think the ideals of both male and female VAs are very similar. However, the challenges may be somewhat different.

Thank you so much Darlene for this opportunity! I hope someone somewhere gained some insight!
