In this Friday Conversation, we were joined by Garrett Blood, Founder & CEO of Kajae. In this conversation, Garrett discusses Kajae's mission of connecting talented individuals from 26 different countries with opportunities at a variety of companies. Garrett explains how Kajae finds highly skilled professionals, such as accountants, engineers, and developers, and ensures they receive good pay and benefits while working remotely for client companies.  

Garrett shares the story of starting Arctic Zero, an ice cream company he founded that became the number one pint of ice cream sold on Amazon. He discusses the challenges of creating a healthy ice cream and experimenting with different recipes. Garrett also talks about leveraging Amazon's shipping network to lower acquisition costs for customers. The conversation shifts to Garrett's experience serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Mexico where he witnessed high levels of poverty, which later inspired him to create opportunities for talented people around the world through Kajae.

Garrett explains Kajae's business model, where they make a small margin by connecting professionals to long term jobs while prioritizing the well-being of their employees. Garrett and the interviewer discuss movies from the 1980s that influenced Garrett. They talk about Garrett seeing Ronald Reagan at Disneyland on his 11th birthday and exchanging words with the former president. The conversation ranges from movies to music to Garrett's vision for Kajae in the future.

Tune in to hear from this great entrepreneur.
