    2025/12/18
    In episode #72, I explain why hiring remote talent in Latin America is no longer a trend, it's a proven scaling strategy for US service businesses. From law firms and accounting firms to marketing agencies, more companies are using nearshoring to access specialized talent, grow faster, and stay profitable. We break down the real numbers behind US hiring vs. LATAM hiring, why cash flow (not competition) is what shuts businesses down, and how hiring globally allows you to scale without sacrificing quality. Takeaways: A shift towards remote work is essential for service businesses. Cash flow management is crucial for business sustainability. Global hiring can provide a strategic advantage for scaling. The trifecta of scaling includes systems, leverage, and people. Hiring globally is not about being cheap but strategic. Successful businesses scale fast by leveraging global talent. Quality of work can improve with global hiring. Business owners should focus on hiring smart to scale effectively.

  • The Truth About What Makes a High Performance Boss

    The Truth About What Makes a High Performance Boss
    2025/12/16
    In this new episode #71, I want to share the real difference between fear-based leadership and trust-based leadership, and why this one shift can completely transform the performance of your remote team. After digging into the research on what truly makes a great boss, I break down the actual behaviors that create fear… versus the ones that unlock psychological safety, innovation, and high performance. Trust-based leadership isn't about being "nice." It's tactical, measurable, and something any leader can build, especially in a world where employees are hiding their use of AI and company cultures feel more fragile than ever. Takeaways: Being a good boss is tactical, not abstract. Trust in leadership leads to higher performance. Fear-based leadership stifles innovation and collaboration. Flexibility in goals is crucial for effective leadership. Dependability builds trust among team members. Optimizing for team needs enhances collaboration. Leadership skills can be developed and improved. Reflecting on one's leadership style is essential for growth. Chapters: 00:00 Understanding Leadership: Fear vs. Trust 07:01 The Impact of Leadership Styles on Company Culture 15:16 Key Lessons for Effective Leadership 18:49 Conclusion: The Path to Becoming a Better Leader If you're ready to level up your leadership, build a team that performs without supervision, and adopt a truly trust-based, high-performance culture, this episode is for you.

  • The Hiring Strategy That Powers Strong Companies

    The Hiring Strategy That Powers Strong Companies
    2025/12/04
    Episode #68 dives into the truth behind remote work, the talent shortage hitting U.S. businesses, and why companies hiring in LATAM are about to scale faster than ever. Hunter Miranda breaks down the data no one is talking about, including why a "4% drop" in remote postings is not a bearish signal but the strongest proof yet that global hiring is exploding. If you're a business owner, agency, law firm, accounting firm, or hiring manager… this episode will change how you think about growth, talent, and the future of work. Takeaways: The data that looks bearish about remote work is actually bullish. Remote job postings are down due to increased competition, not a lack of demand. The job market has permanently shifted, with on-site jobs losing market share. By 2030, there will be a significant talent shortage if skilled roles are not filled. Workers are increasingly demanding remote work options. Top companies are hiring globally to secure talent. The talent crisis will soon become a major news topic. The market is maturing, prioritizing skills and outcomes over proximity. Chapters: 00:00 The Bullish Signal Behind Remote Work 06:08 Understanding the Talent Shortage 11:53 The Future of Remote Work 17:56 Navigating the New Normal This isn't theory. This is what's happening behind the scenes, and the companies that take action today will dominate their market in 2025–2030. Watch the full episode and get ahead of the talent wave.
