Executive Assistant

Job Description My Right-Hand Person — Full-Time, Remote This Isn't a VA Job. It Might Be the Best Job You've Ever Had. I'm looking for one exceptional person. Not a task-follower. Not someone who waits to be told what to do. I'm looking for a true right-hand — someone who thinks ahead, takes ownership, and turns my intentions into reality. If you've ever been told you're "too much" for a VA role — that you care too deeply, overdeliver when no one asked, or ask too many questions — keep reading. This might be your thing. About Me My name is Nephi. I'm an entrepreneur, real estate investor, and software founder based in Utah — for now. My partner Fernanda is from Brazil, and we're building toward living abroad, probably Latin America. I work full-time as a Scrum Master — about 10-hour days. That's my primary income. My career went from mechanical engineering to manufacturing project management to where I am now, which shaped how I think: analytical, process-oriented, obsessed with continuous improvement. I'm a big fan of visual Kanban boards and dashboards — they create undeniable clarity in real time. The businesses are real and growing, but they haven't replaced my salary yet. I'm upfront about that because transparency is one of my core values. I taught myself Spanish and Portuguese. I'm a competitive powerlifter (recently broke 1,000 lbs total). I completed 75 Hard. I'm a member of GoBundance, an entrepreneur mastermind where I facilitate a local pod. I've traveled extensively — Africa, Japan, the Philippines, Italy, Taiwan, Costa Rica. I'm open-minded, growth-oriented, and always consuming books and podcasts. I have ADHD. I move fast, I have a million ideas, and I struggle with implementation — not because the ideas aren't good, but because executive dysfunction is real and my time is limited. The vision is there. What I need is someone who can take it and run.

What drives me:

impact, connection, and variety.

What I value most:

kindness, transparency, speed, and playfulness. I like to laugh — a lot. If you can make me laugh in your application or on our first call, that'll go a long way. The agile mindset from my Scrum Master work carries into everything — constant iteration, transparency, inspection, and adaptation. Nothing is ever "done" — it's always getting better. I'm looking for someone who feels less like an employee and more like a partner. Someone who cares personally and challenges directly. What I've Got Going On Porch Light (tech startup) — this is the one I care about most. Mission-driven, addressing the loneliness epidemic. We have an MVP, no revenue yet, and I believe this has more potential to make a meaningful difference than anything else I'm working on. A land flipping business (paused) — proven model. Paused due to costs and time. Could be revived with the right support. Airbnb properties — operationally heavy for what they return. I need strategic thinking, not just task management. Long-term rentals — a fourplex and other properties. Personal admin — a constant backlog of tasks that never get done because I work 10-hour days. Other ideas waiting for bandwidth — a podcast called Insight in Inmates , accessible Montessori-style education, and more. There's a detailed briefing section at the bottom of this listing with full context on each business, my challenges, and my daily schedule. That's what you'll use for your 90-day plan. What You'd Actually Do I'll give you everything you need to succeed — my vision, my intentions, and what "good" looks like. How you get there is up to you. Sometimes I'll call with something specific — "research apartments in Uruguay" or "schedule a Mexican passport appointment." But more often, I'll share where I want things to go, and you'll figure out the path. You know the Airbnb numbers need to improve, so you work through Karla (my co-host, who's great) to find solutions. You know Porch Light needs users, so you draft a growth strategy. You see a vendor isn't delivering, so you find a better one. You notice my calendar is a mess, so you fix it. Creativity and problem-solving — not just following instructions. You'll manage my calendar, triage email, and handle communications on OpenPhone and WhatsApp — often as my voice, which means you need to understand how I think. I use OpenClaw (an AI assistant on WhatsApp) and I expect you to learn it and actively find ways AI tools can improve our operations. After onboarding, I will not touch a keyboard for business operations. Everything goes through you. We'll connect by phone — twice a day at first, lunch and evening. What's In It for You You'll be paid well. Compensation reflects the caliber of person I'm looking for. Happy to discuss specifics with the right candidate. You'll get mentorship and training most EAs never get access to. You'll be plugged into GoBundance's Second-in-Command program — dedicated training alongside the right-hand people of successful entrepreneurs and millionaires. These are people running operations for 7- and 8-figure businesses, and you'll be learning right alongside them. This isn't a webinar you watch alone — it's a real community that will push you to grow. On top of that, you'll have direct access to me: a certified Scrum Master, competitive powerlifter, multilingual world traveler, and someone who's invested tens of thousands of dollars in personal development programs from Tony Robbins to GoBundance to land investing masterminds. I share everything I learn. You'll have real responsibility from day one. Deep access to my systems, real authority to make decisions, and increasing autonomy as we build trust. You won't be someone's inbox manager — as we grow together, you'll essentially be operating as my COO. Your work will directly impact the bottom line, and you'll see the results of your decisions in real time. No two days will look the same. Real estate, a tech startup addressing the loneliness epidemic, land investing, international relocation planning, personal admin, vendor management, and strategy. If you've ever been bored at a job, this is the opposite of that. You'll be part of something going somewhere. I'm relocating internationally. Porch Light is mission-driven and scalable. The businesses are evolving. You're not filling a seat that someone left — you're building a role that didn't exist before, alongside someone who will genuinely invest in your growth as a person, not just as an employee. Who You Are I care far less about your experience and far more about how your brain works. I'm not trying to hire someone less capable than me — I'm trying to do the opposite. I want someone sharper, more organized, and more detail-oriented than I am. I want to pay you well — genuinely above what your skills would typically command locally — because I'm not hiring for a task list. I'm hiring for a brain. You act first and report back. My biggest pet peeve is "what should I do?" at every step. I'd rather you decide and be wrong than wait and slow things down. There's a story I love: three people are asked to buy oranges for someone's wife. The first just grabs oranges. The second asks the clerk for the best quality and price. The third calls the wife directly, finds out her favorite variety, drives to a better store, and brings them back with a note. I want the third person. They didn't need step-by-step instructions — they understood the intention and figured out the best way to get there. That's what working with me should feel like. You're radically candid. Tell me when I'm wrong. Push back from kindness. Then execute once we've decided. You're tech-savvy and AI-literate. I built my startup with Claude. Non-negotiable. You're a personal development enthusiast. You'd have book and podcast recommendations for me, not just the other way around. You thrive in ambiguity. Shifting priorities, a dozen contexts in one week, no clear-cut instructions. If that excites you, keep reading. How to Apply 1. Resume — informal is fine. I care about what you did, not your titles. 2. Voice note (2-3 min max) — What stood out to you from this listing? Who are you as a person? What are you proud of outside of work? I want to hear your energy, not read a polished paragraph. 3. DISC profile — take a free online assessment. I'm a high D / high C. Tell me why we'd click. 4. Quick personal questions (I'll go first): I'm the oldest sibling. What's your birth order? My love languages are words of affirmation and quality time. What's yours? Tony Robbins' Six Human Needs — my top two are contribution and variety. What are yours, and why? What book, podcast, or idea changed how you think? 5. Your 90-day plan — the most important part. Read the Briefing below.

Then tell me:

how would you start, what access do you need, what value do you deliver out of the gate, and what would you advise me to do strategically? Every recommendation should serve two goals: reducing my cognitive load and improving the bottom line. Job Requirements The Basics Full-time, 40 hours/week Excellent written and spoken English Reliable internet, quiet workspace Comfortable with technology and AI tools The Briefing My Daily Reality Wake at 7. W-2 job 8-5. Gym 5:30-6:30. Time with Fernanda 7-10. I have 1-3 hours a day for my businesses but prefer to use evenings for personal time. Our calls happen while I'm walking — lunch and evening. After onboarding, everything flows through you. Porch Light (Tech Startup) — My Top Priority Remember when connecting with a friend was as simple as seeing their porch light on? Porch Light signals when you're available and lets you connect within minutes — reducing friction around quality conversations. An 8-10 minute call can significantly reduce loneliness. Built with Claude (AI) on React Native. We have an MVP but zero active users. I've been stuck perfecting instead of marketing. I've considered launching to my GoBundance community but I'm hesitant — missing features and my reputation is on the line. Land Business (Paused) Altura Land Services. Proven model — made real money with a partner before. Paused due to expensive mailers and the lowball-offer model conflicting with my win-win values.

Unexplored idea:

AI voice assistant to qualify inbound leads and filter for serious sellers. Airbnb (Short-Term Rentals) Several Utah properties on Hostaway. Overspent on furnishings, tough to cash flow — lots of management, not a lot of squeeze. Considering selling for cash, seller-financing, or optimizing.

Hard lessons learned:

a co-host who used the company card for personal expenses, then a 14-person VA team with zero accountability. Current co-host Karla is great — you'd work through her. She saves me time but the bottom line hasn't improved much. Long-Term Rentals Fourplex and additional properties. Straightforward — tenants, maintenance, documents. Personal Admin Always on my list but never gets done: Nomad Capitalist appointment, apartment research (Uruguay, Florida, Paraguay), Mexican passport, borrowing against silver/crypto, date planning, calendar, email, travel, expenses, relocation logistics. Other Ideas (Not Active Yet) Podcast Insight in Inmates (removing incarceration stigma), accessible Montessori education, and more. Factor these into your prioritization thinking.
