From Foster Care to CEO, Adkins Inspires Entrepreneurs Nationwide with Affordable Virtual Assistant Services and Motivational Business Podcast

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA / ACCESS Newswire / August 15, 2025 / Demario Adkins, a Virginia-based entrepreneur, CEO, and podcast host, is turning his life story into a national mission to help other business owners succeed. As the founder of VirtuAssist, a rapidly growing virtual assistant staffing agency, and host of The Demario Adkins Podcast, Adkins is combining cost-effective business solutions with powerful personal storytelling to inspire and empower entrepreneurs nationwide.

VirtuAssist offers affordable virtual assistants to small and medium-sized businesses across the U.S., providing real human support for administrative tasks, customer service, sales outreach, bookkeeping, marketing, and more. With hourly rates as low as $8-$10, business owners can cut costs, increase productivity, and scale without the expense of hiring full-time, in-house staff.

"Business owners waste countless hours on tasks that don't drive revenue," says Adkins. "With VirtuAssist, you get a skilled, vetted, real person-not AI-to take that work off your plate, so you can focus on growth."

Alongside VirtuAssist, The Demario Adkins Podcast delivers actionable business growth strategies, entrepreneur success stories, and candid conversations about overcoming obstacles. Drawing from his own journey - from growing up in foster care and poverty to running multiple companies - Adkins shares lessons in leadership, resilience, and smart business operations.

"I know what it's like to be broke, in debt, and overlooked," Adkins says. "I built systems and found people who could help me win. VirtuAssist gives business owners those same tools, and my podcast gives them the belief they can use them."

With a proven track record that includes being featured on CBS6 for his innovative crisis services program, Adkins has built three thriving companies: Behavioral Health Services of Virginia, Autism Services of Virginia, and VirtuAssist. His ventures collectively impact thousands of individuals and businesses nationwide.
