Episode 97: Find Your Why, Build the Structure, and Get It Done Now

Most people are not failing because they lack potential. They are failing because they lack structure, clarity, and consistent action. In this episode of the Versa Business Tips Podcast, host Shaheen Mazloom sits down with JB Glossinger, founder of MorningCoach, to talk about purpose, discipline, routine, business growth, and what it really takes to keep going when entrepreneurship gets hard. JB shares his incredible journey from aerospace and corporate leadership to building one of the early self-help podcasts in the world. He opens up about failure, starting over, building a paid podcast before it was common, and why most entrepreneurs get stuck in a cycle of excitement, frustration, and distraction. In this episode, we cover: * Why most people never get clear on their real why * The importance of mission, vision, values, goals, projects, and tasks * Why structure and routine matter more than hype and motivation * How entrepreneurs get trapped in the failure loop * Why authenticity beats trying to look successful * How to stay in the game long enough to actually win * The power of enjoying the price instead of just paying it * Why business success comes from consistent action, not wishful thinking JB also talks about his new book, Get It Done Now, his MorningCoach systems, the role of faith and perseverance in his journey, and how he has built a business around helping people create clarity, structure, and momentum in their lives. If you are an entrepreneur, founder, executive, or anyone trying to build something meaningful, this episode is packed with real wisdom and practical perspective.

Episode 90: Why Smart Companies Are Hiring Nearshore Talent in Latin America

Hiring overseas isn’t just about saving money—it’s about hiring smarter. In Episode 90 of the Versa Business Tips Podcast, host Shaheen Mazloom, Founder & CEO of Versa Business Systems, sits down with Brian Sampson, Founder & CEO of Plug Technologies, to explain why nearshore hiring in Latin America is becoming a go-to strategy for US companies looking to scale. Brian shares his decade-long experience living and building companies in Latin America and breaks down what “nearshore” actually means, how it differs from offshore hiring, and why LATAM talent often outperforms expectations—especially in fast-moving, high-pressure business environments. The conversation covers real-world hiring insights, cultural advantages, English fluency, time-zone alignment, loyalty, and resilience—and why many of the fears around international hiring are based on myths, not reality. They also dive into the practical side of nearshore hiring, including:  • When DIY platforms like Fiverr or Upwork make sense  • When working with a nearshore staffing agency is the better move  • How compliance, payroll, benefits, and local labor laws are handled  • Why same–time zone collaboration changes productivity  • How companies reduce hiring risk with no upfront fees If you’re a US-based business owner exploring ways to build stronger teams without the cost and friction of local hiring, this episode gives you a clear, honest framework for hiring nearshore the right way. ⸻ 👤 About the Guest: Brian Sampson Brian Sampson is the Founder & CEO of Plug Technologies, a nearshore staffing company that helps US businesses hire vetted, senior-level talent across Latin America—without retainers, upfront fees, or compliance headaches. 🔗 LinkedIn:   / briansamson  [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbGJLYTVMbzFSRWdmVjlHZzdSS05IRWowSy0zUXxBQ3Jtc0trWWU3Y2RYcUhsdDcycVFmS1Z3ckh4YWRZbzl2NzJxRWdhYlE3Q08ybXlES3pEOEptQkVOMEtscVBxN2JNTlBBa01kOGJOejBVY25mWXhVT2Uta1FsajJsTzdzSC1Pa08yR2JtTlNTRGZmSEE0NVpuaw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fbriansamson&v=NeC991EiNlI] 🌐 Website: https://plugg.tech/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbEI1NUFHU3RNd3dtUWFScG92UUhmelJEdlFmUXxBQ3Jtc0trM3gtZDF2ZnlZSXVfcTNsb3M0Z1VJb1dzQVR0TWhMMTJEc2MzeEdaZEtCRjhvLTdiQ1ZNOXFQNXpJRE1UUFVHdm9BSl9fNF9OLVVMWWdLUm11X3BQM1ItV0RGZnhZMmlDbDY4eDQzNXNLVVhRUTBfRQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fplugg.tech%2F&v=NeC991EiNlI] ⸻ 🎁 No-Risk Hiring with Plug Technologies • No retainer • No upfront cost • You only pay if you hire 👉 Learn more at https://plugg.tech/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqblVuSGxCcUFmd3NGdUJVa1FCWnpQOENFOFZud3xBQ3Jtc0tsVmdZSFVLbmREbmgxZlctYXc4UlVaRm9Hb2FWNmlFTjFTdU16eUFZNTJld2txVHZYWGtYd1VTLVlFcGJkekUwRUk3cUtLRmlIWlJWQS1jeVJkanZ4b3R0TEVHNWpfOVpOcWZqdlltVFk2VFE3X1g0RQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fplugg.tech%2F&v=NeC991EiNlI] #NearshoreHiring [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/nearshorehiring] #LATAMTalent [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/latamtalent] #RemoteHiring [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/remotehiring] #BusinessPodcast [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/businesspodcast] #Episode89 [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/episode89]
