We had the good fortune of connecting with Misha Ford and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Misha, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Our company started as a virtual assistance company 12 years ago. At that time, I was still also working in a corporate role,” recalls Misha. In 2017, she decided to devote most of her attention to 3TG Staffing Solutions and took on the role of CEO there full­time. At that time, there were only three part-time employees and a few active contracts, and it was just time for her to be a full-time CEO. Today, 3T Consulting provides professional consulting and 3TG Staffing Solutions is a branch of3T Consulting that focuses on providing the government and Fortune 500 companies with optimal business solutions by aligning people, processes, and executing orders across all industry verticals. Its laser focus and equitable approach to organizational cultures ensure effective programmatic strategy, efficient planning, and on-time execution. The company offers well­seasoned comprehensive solutions with over a decade of experience in business operations, including process improvement to reduce time and cost.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
We are proud to focus on cutting-edge staffing, recruiting, training HR platforms, and provide multi-prong AI/ML while bring the workforce biases to the forefront.

A small business is no small feat, and it has been the journey of my life. You must be resilient, dedicated and build a infrastructure that makes a profit and stands the test of time. It can be a challenge to always think one step ahead when you are focused on day-to-day operations. Ultimately, our brand framework brings innovations to our talent and underserved community.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
First get car service for a few nights. Take them to Atlantic Station, from there…..Ponce City rooftop, Rowdy Tigers, and Breakfast at Barney’s, Toast in Lenox, Chateau Elan.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
When asked to share her source of motivation, Misha says that her grandmother had the most significant impact on her life. She was a self-made businesswoman who had nurtured nine children and more than 20 grandchildren while also owning a physical store. She (grandmother) taught her (Misha) so many approaches to culture and about variety in all its forms. Her principles surrounded her and still guide her every day.
