This episode's heart beats the tale of Marcelo's voyage from engineer to entrepreneur—a journey fueled by a burning desire to connect global opportunities to talent, regardless of the miles in between. Adrian and Marcelo chart the territory of Remote [https://remote.sjv.io/c/2671262/1964842/16274]'s nascent days, the quest for the perfect domain, and the crafting of novel tools from the void—the kind you can't just find lying around; you have to build them. Navigating the digital age, Marcelo Lebre stands tall as the co-creator and driving force behind Remote—the trailblazing platform rewriting the rules of global employment, now basking in the glow of a $150 million valuation boost. This unicorn company sprouted from the vision of a boy from a quaint Portuguese village whose grand ambitions bloomed in the fertile soil of technology, an inheritance from a grandfather with a love for all things electronic. Since its inception in 2019, Remote has been tearing down geographic barriers, offering companies everywhere the power to hire and manage their international teams with unprecedented ease.
