Entrepreneurship Without Borders: Brian Samson's Nearshoring Revolution - Episode 77
Published 15 hours ago
Description
You know, many entrepreneurs start businesses because they’ve always dreamed of building a company. Others stumble into it almost by accident. But sometimes, the spark for entrepreneurship comes from something much simpler… curiosity about the world.
Imagine visiting another country, falling in love with the culture, the people, and the possibilities, and realizing there might be an entirely new way to build businesses across borders. That’s exactly what happened to today’s guest.
Brian Samson is the founder of Plugg Technologies, a company that helps U.S. businesses scale by connecting them with highly skilled tech talent across Latin America.
His entrepreneurial journey took an unexpected turn after traveling to Argentina, where he discovered both the energy of the region and a massive untapped pool of technical talent. That experience eventually led him to build a company focused on nearshore staffing and global teams.
Brian is also the host of The Nearshore Cafe Podcast, where he interviews founders, executives, and innovators about global hiring, remote teams, and the evolving tech ecosystem across the Americas.
Today we’ll talk about Brian’s journey from traveler to entrepreneur, what he learned building companies across borders, and why the future of entrepreneurship might be far more global than many founders realize.
