A few years ago (out of frustration) I formed STRATUSstaff.com for outsourcing. I got tired of using things like Freelancer and Guru and Task Rabbit and People Per Hour and Fiverr and......and........and.......

STRATUSstaff.com was built on the concept of PODS. Teams of three. A POD-Leader and POD-mates. The purpose a POD Leader is to form new PODS.  So 3 can become 9. And 9 can become 27. PODS: Professional, Dedicated, On-Demand Support.  PODS: Professional, Organized, Dedicated Support. {we flip-flop on that}.

STRATUSstaff was always a good idea, but I could never get it to take off. We could never get more than a few dozen PODS to form. But something happened in late 2025.

AI happened.

Every POD-mate has AI mastery. Zoom, Net2Phone, GPT, Claude, Gemini and more. So we have HubSpot Pros, BigCommerce Pros, you name it....... PROS.  But each 'Pro' is also well trained in all things AI.

Think of hiring a POD to run your online store, manage your project, lead your Customer Service team. But this team of 3 all have their own AI agents. So they can do it for you, do it with you, or teach you how to do it yourself. And 'it' can be just about anything.

I got a guy that worked for me for years. Left (for the right reasons, the right way) and now he is back. Gone for five years, now returned full of knowledge - including AI mastery. I made the decision to allow our STRATUSstaffers to own 49% of the company. I'll keep 51%. So, as PODS form new PODS, as the teams of 3 become 9 and become 27 and become (keep going) they not only make their hourly rate, but they are on a path to fractional ownership of the company. And, you can do this from anywhere in the world. From any time zone. Thanks to companies like AireSpring GLOBAL.

Oh, did I tell you that we are a Master Agent for AireSpring? You should hire an AireSpring POD today!
