## **Podcast Summary**

In this episode of the *Building a Business That Lasts* podcast, GMVA CEO & Founder Beth Lachance sits down with host Jay Owen to share the remarkable journey of Global Medical Virtual Assistants—from a modest $46,000 in revenue in 2019 to over $16 million in 2024, and what’s next as the company continues to scale.

### From Startup to Scale

Beth opens up about the whirlwind of building a high-growth company, why she credits DoorDash for fueling her early hustle, and the powerful lessons she’s learned about scaling sustainably. With over 1,300+ medical virtual assistants placed and counting, Beth reveals what it really takes to grow a company while staying laser-focused on culture, leadership, and purpose.

### Highlights from the Conversation:

- **Imposter Syndrome & Leadership Growth**: How self-doubt helped Beth stay curious, grounded, and focused on learning from both great and flawed leaders.
- **Thinking 10X**: Why setting a “glass ceiling” of 1,000 MVAs limited her vision—and how she shattered it to aim for 2,500+.
- **Building Remote Culture**: The systems GMVA uses to keep over 1,300 remote team members aligned through *core values* and *team cohesion*—and what happens when someone no longer fits.
- **Why the Medical Niche Matters**: Beth’s decades of experience in healthcare revealed a major gap—and how COVID-19 forced the medical industry to finally embrace remote staffing.
- **The Power of Process**: How monthly surveys, skip-level meetings, and HR strategies help GMVA stay ahead of internal challenges with grace and accountability.
- **Purpose-Driven Work-Life Balance**: Why Beth sees work as a source of joy, and how she teaches her children the value of hard work while staying present for what matters most.
