11. Bryan Miles - The Way We Work Doesn’t Work Anymore

“If I’m going to make a dent in this world, I have only a certain amount of time… So rather than watch that time be wasted away, I’d rather be intentional with it.”

Along with his wife Shannon, Bryan Miles is committed to rewriting the workplace mindset.

Driven by his manifesto that “the way we work doesn’t work anymore”, Bryan inspires businesses to liberate their employees and transform their culture with remote working.

Far from losing control over staff, Bryan argues home-based workers are happier and more productive.

With more autonomy over their day, working from home allows people to contribute more to their family life - as well as someone else’s place of work. As a result, they’re more motivated to do their best work for their employer.

This is something Bryan has experienced first-hand.

With over 600 remote-working employees, Bryan believes working for his company - BELAY Solutions - ruins staff for anyone else! When people experience a culture of trust, autonomy, and freedom, they don’t want to settle for anything less.

“When I pray I don’t just beg for wisdom. I beg for the courage to act when I get that wisdom.” 

One of the reasons Bryan has been able to build such a successful virtual culture for so many people is because he’s a master of organization.

Intentional with his time and committed to be the best steward possible in all his roles, Bryan is able to achieve success in both his personal and professional life.

I was filled with gratitude after interviewing Bryan. He crushed my belief that big companies need an office and left me with a stack of insights that will help JavaPresse grow. He’s also inspired me to be a better man with some simple, yet smart organizational strategies.

I’m certain Bryan will inspire you to leverage the benefits that more order can bring for your life too.

“Organization makes me happy. Happiness for me is having things in order.”
