Brian Samson knows a harsh truth about the current American economy: if you run a service business right now, the math is brutal. Labor is incredibly expensive, turnover is high, and finding reliable operators can feel like a full-time job.But Brian has a cheat code. After years of running talent acquisition for hyper-growth, VC-funded tech startups in Silicon Valley, Brian took his high-level recruiting playbook and applied it to a local locksmith and cleaning company in Hawaii. The result? He completely revolutionized his hiring process by tapping into the nearshore talent pool in Latin America. Today, Brian runs Plug Tech—a nearshore staffing agency pushing $8M in ARR—and he is pulling back the curtain on how small business owners can leverage global talent to generate massive ROI.If you are struggling to scale because you are drowning in admin work, scheduling, or operations, this episode will completely rewrite how you think about building your team.What You'll Learn in This Episode:The VA vs. EA Paradigm Shift: Why you should stop hiring Virtual Assistants to do simple "tasks" and start hiring nearshore Executive Assistants who anticipate problems and drive strategy.Latin America vs. Asia: The cultural and operational differences between offshoring to places like the Philippines (process-driven) versus nearshoring to LatAm (spontaneous and creative problem-solvers).The Price-to-Value Arbitrage: Why paying a top-tier nearshore employee $1,500/month or an AI engineer is actually a massive bargain that can generate seven figures of value for your company.The $100 Interview Test: Brian's foolproof, paid-test framework to filter out bad hires, test real-world skills, and guarantee you're bringing on an "A-Player."Tags: Hiring, Entrepreneurship, Business scaling, Service & ConsultingResources:Grow your business today: https://links.upflip.com/the-business-startup-and-growth-blueprint-podcastFollow Our Second Channel Here: https://next.upflip.com/spotify Connect with Brian: https://www.linkedin.com/in/briansamson

In this episode of the Tech M&A Podcast, we chat with Luis Landgrave, co-founder of Algebraix, an edtech and fintech company serving private schools across Latin America, with a primary focus on Mexico. Over nearly two decades, Luis helped build Algebraix into a school management platform with an integrated fintech arm that processes tuition and payments on behalf of schools — momentum that ultimately led to a successful sale through Corum after years of inbound interest from investors and acquirers. Luis shares how a Corum seminar in Mexico City planted the seed nearly a decade before he was ready to sell, and how an early deal that fell through made the second, advisor-led process far smoother. He offers candid advice on the demands of financial due diligence, the importance of getting your reporting in order before going to market, and the emotional discipline required when deal terms shift mid-negotiation. He also reflects on the realities of post-exit life — from deferred payments and multi-year earnouts to the reduced control and renegotiation that can come with a two-year transition. Takeaways Plant the seed early: A Corum seminar in Mexico City sparked the idea nearly a decade before Luis was ready to sell — selling was always the goal, never a legacy to pass down. The turning point can be a business-model shift: Adding payment processing around 2017–2018 accelerated revenue and made the company far more attractive to buyers. A first attempt that falls through still teaches you: A 2021 approach from a Brazilian acquirer didn't close, but it made the second, Corum-run process much smoother. A competitive process improves terms: Even with just one official offer, having other interested buyers in play tightened the LOI and held due diligence to a 90-day timeline. Due diligence is the heavy lift: For founders who are engineers rather than finance experts, producing the reports that PE-background buyers demanded was the most taxing part. Get your numbers in order first: The more prepared your reporting and financials, the less pressure and rework once offers start coming in. Align with your partner and stay centered: Selling is an emotional rollercoaster as terms move on and off the table — shared objectives keep you steady. Plan for the transition: A two-year earnout means deferred payments, reduced control, and even some renegotiation — know what you're signing up for.

From the North Capital Meridian Diplomacy Forum in Washington, D.C., Susana Sáenz speaks with Ryan Croft, Director for Latin America at Teamworks, and Advisory Council at the U.S.-Mexico Foundation, about one of the least discussed business opportunities surrounding the 2026 FIFA World Cup: the technological transformation of the sports industry. With more than 7,000 teams across dozens of countries using its platform — including 100% of the NFL, the Premier League, and the NHL — Teamworks recently surpassed a $1 billion valuation following a $235 million funding round. According to Croft, Mexico is poised to become one of the company's fastest-growing markets, driven by the influx of private capital, the professionalization of sports clubs, and the adoption of data- and AI-driven technologies. - Desde el North Capital Meridian Diplomacy Forum en Washington, DC, Susana Sáenz platica con Ryan Croft, Director para Latinoamérica de Teamworks, y Advisory Council de la U.S.-Mexico Foundation, sobre una de las oportunidades de negocio menos discutidas alrededor del Mundial 2026: la transformación tecnológica de la industria deportiva. Con más de 7,000 equipos en decenas de países que usan su plataforma —incluyendo el 100% de la NFL, la Premier League y la NHL—, Teamworks acaba de alcanzar una valuación superior a los $1,000 mdd tras levantar $235 mdd. Para Croft, México será uno de sus mercados de mayor crecimiento, impulsado por la llegada de capital privado, la profesionalización de clubes y la adopción de herramientas basadas en datos e inteligencia artificial.

The world's best showed they were ready to go the distance, with Carissas Moore and Leonardo Fioravanti overcoming the obstacles to claim wins at the Surf City El Salvador Pro Presented by Corona Cero. An unstoppable Carissa Moore now claims back-to-back CT wins in 2026 with a remarkable run through the Surf City El Salvador Pro, culminating in a win over fellow CT veteran and two-time World Champ Tyler Wright. This marks Moore's 30th-career CT victory and first in Central America. The five-time World Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist, Moore, continues to raise the bar for women's power and progression, putting everything into last-minute heroics and excellent showcases. Then the event's most consistent contender, Leonardo Fioravanti, completed his phenomenal surge all the way to a maiden CT victory over Italo Ferreira. Fioravanti's third-career CT Final yielded his long-awaited breakthrough win after posting some of the event's best performances from start to finish, including the event's best single-score of a 9.00 in today's Quarterfinals. Now, Moore moves to World No. 2, as Fioravanti jumps to World No. 3 heading to the VIVO Rio Pro with her family in full support. Plus, sensational runs at Punta Roca earned runner-up finishes for Wright and Ferreira. For Wright, this notes her first CT Final since her last win at Pipeline in 2025, and Ferreira now prepares to surge in home waters with the passion of their country backing him all the way after heroic performances.  The VIVO Rio Pro Presented by Corona Cero is ready to ignite and the world's best are set for the masses of fans on the beaches of Saquarema beginning June 19 through 27.

Cardano Foundation has partnered with the Brazilian Olympic Committee on a three-year roadmap focused on sports innovation, and this episode breaks down why that matters beyond the headline. Peter walks through the practical use cases being discussed, including digital identity, certification, fan engagement, equipment tracking, and on-chain governance.Rather than treating this as vague adoption theatre, the episode looks at where blockchain may genuinely fit within sporting institutions, especially when legacy systems are fragmented, paper-based, or difficult to audit. It is an early-stage pilot, but it offers a concrete example of how public blockchain infrastructure could be tested in a real-world national organisation.Key Takeaways:- The partnership is framed as a three-year roadmap between Cardano Foundation and the Brazilian Olympic Committee, not a one-off marketing announcement.- The four main areas discussed are identity and certification, fan engagement, equipment tracking, and on-chain governance.- Digital identity is one of the clearest use cases because therapists, facilitators, and staff could carry portable verified credentials across venues and events.- NFT-based fan engagement could enable ticketing, access control, collectibles, and direct on-chain rewards without relying on traditional account systems.- Supply-chain style tracking for sporting equipment could improve visibility, reduce loss, and make logistics easier across multiple locations.- The governance angle is still early, but transparent voting and funding decisions are a natural area for blockchain experimentation inside sporting bodies.- Peter's broader view is that blockchain is often easiest to introduce where processes are still inefficient or only partly digitised.Links & References:- x.com: https://link.learncardano.io/FI3qpg- https://link.learncardano.io/O4QES6- x.com: https://link.learncardano.io/hA8ejv- x.com: https://link.learncardano.io/cHnUwyWebsite: https://link.learncardano.io/bQ68RcX/Twitter: https://link.learncardano.io/3a1QtvDisclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only.

Welcome to the very first episode of the Rule the Roost World Cup Digest - your 15 minute morning wrap-up of the biggest talking points from across the tournament. On today's 15-minute briefing: Opening Day Reflections: Lovely opening ceremony—unapologetically LATAM and a massive spectacle to get us underway. It is just a shame the referee didn't get the carnival brief, marring the Mexico vs South Africa clash with a terrible performance and red cards aplenty. South Africa looked a bit sluggish, but it was a great moment for Raúl Jiménez - a feel good World Cup story. Poch is Cooking: Mauricio Pochettino has the USA absolutely balling out. In their match against Paraguay (who are absolutely no pushover), they looked exactly like peak 2016/17 Spurs. Well done. Canada's Spursy Vibe: Canada played some brilliant stuff that felt incredibly familiar. Plenty of style but perhaps lacking those killer final balls and ruthless finishers. However, that Cyle Larin goal was undeniably great. South Korea & Sonny: South Korea are playing some fantastic football, but is Son Heung-min starting to look a bit washed? Plus, I lament the fact that Lee Kang-in doesn't want to follow in Son's footsteps and make the move to N17. Brazil vs Morocco Preview: Looking ahead to tonight's massive matchup. After revisiting some classic matches from the 90s and 00s and seeing just how brilliant they were, it begs the question: have the broader tactical changes in modern football been the main reason for Brazil's struggles of late? Scotland's Late Night: It is a shame that the World Cup kick-off times are so late here in Europe, but we are wishing Scotland all the best as they get underway. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of the Cannabis Accounting Podcast, host Raymond Guns sits down with @marianalarrea.mlaw (Mariana Larrea), founder of MLA Legal and Consulting Boutique and STIGMA Hospitality Group, to map the global cannabis supply chain and explain why Mexico, with the most complete pharmaceutical-grade legal framework of any country, is still waiting for its market to move.Mariana has spent a decade at the intersection of international pharmaceutical law and cannabis regulation.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION I sat down with Lux, Chief Commercial Officer at OpenPayd, and this conversation genuinely surprised me. Lux started out as an FX trader at JP Morgan , the guy who once typed 'Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme' into a Bloomberg chat , and now he's helping build one of the most quietly impressive fintech infrastructure companies out there. We got into how OpenPayd has grown to over 1,200 institutional clients, processed over $200 billion in volume annually, stayed cash flow positive for five years, and never taken a single round of funding. We talked about why financial institutions are now OpenPayd's fastest growing vertical, what the stablecoin sandwich actually means for cross-border payments, and whether crypto is really dead or just maturing. Lux also shared his contrarian take on why the era of 150% Ethereum weeks is probably behind us , and why that's actually a good sign. If you're in fintech, payments, or crypto infrastructure, this one is worth your time. DISCLAIMERNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

Este domingo hay elecciones en Perú y el próximo 21 de junio en Colombia. En ambos comicios podría producirse un giro hacia la derecha, pero más allá del posible cambio político en ambos países, lo que se perfila en la región es un nuevo mapa de afinidades en torno a Estados Unidos, o más concretamente, una mayor sintonía con su presidente, Donald Trump.

Today I had a guest on who decided to remain anonymous, though through his stories you can learn a lot about who he is and what he believes. He produces incredible videos on tiktok of his travels: raw, honest, digestible. His TikTok is https://www.tiktok.com/@gcvvgcvvgcvv?_r=1&_t=ZP-96nVYBwioxi if you want to check it out. We had a pretty excellent conversation, speaking about religion, global politics/influence, and so many personal stories. From Africa, China, and the Stans, to declining Europe and the very livable Latam - we covered a lot of the world. I am really happy to have had the conversation today, and I hope you all enjoy.

Daniel Vidal, head chef of Baldío, LATAM's first zero-waste restaurant, joined Koen in the kitchen in Mexico City to talk about what it actually takes to make radical food accessible to the people it was always meant for. When Baldío won a Green Michelin Star, Daniel didn't think to take his mother there for her birthday as the restaurant back then could win over critics but not his own community.Daniel walks through how Baldío rebuilt its menu from the ground up shifting from a Nordic-inflected à la carte that impressed visiting chefs to a tasting menu grounded in tamales, tacos, and corn in every single dish. He explains why familiarity is the gateway drug for getting locals to try ant eggs, grasshoppers, and beef treated with koji to mimic the texture Mexicans already know from corn-fed imports. Daniel unpacks the 60-ingredient mole built almost entirely from kitchen waste — banana peel tart trimmings, English sauce offcuts, insect protein — as both a culinary feat and a zero-waste accounting exercise.This is the third episode of a three conversations series recorded on location at Baldío, in Mexico City: farm, fermentation lab, kitchen. More about this episode.Thoughts?

In this episode of the Finovate Podcast, host Greg Palmer sits down with Jensen Coonradt (CEO) and Simmi Sen (Chief Product Officer), the co-founders of Crebit, fresh off their Best of Show win at FinovateSpring 2026 in San Diego. Jensen and Simmi share their remarkable journey from high school friends meeting at a Bank of America scholarship program to leaving college to pursue Crebit full-time. Jensen brings his impressive background as a top 50 hacker globally and FX trading competition winner, while Simmi contributes her expertise in design and mobile app development, including an Apple WWDC award-winning app. Their complementary skills and shared passion for solving real-world financial problems have positioned Crebit as an innovative force in the cross-border payments space.Crebit is revolutionizing international money transfers by leveraging stablecoin technology to make sending money across borders as simple as sending a text message. The platform operates on a "stablecoin sandwich" method, allowing users to on-ramp funds using local payment methods (like PIX in Brazil, ACH in the US, or BRIBI in Colombia) to USDC stablecoin, which then settles to virtually any currency worldwide within 15 minutes. What sets Crebit apart is their behind-the-scenes approach—users experience seamless fiat-in, fiat-out transactions without needing to be crypto-native, while benefiting from up to 90% cost savings and dramatically faster settlement times compared to traditional cross-border payments. Additionally, Crebit offers innovative rate-locking features through forwards and options for emerging market currencies in LATAM, Africa, and Southeast Asia, where traditional banks struggle to provide such services due to illiquidity.The co-founders discuss their strategic focus on credit unions, a partnership opportunity that emerged from their attendance at FinovateFall 2025, where they connected with institutions like the University of Michigan Credit Union. They recognized that credit unions' member-focused philosophy aligns perfectly with Crebit's mission to serve international students and immigrants who need to convert currency for tuition payments and other expenses. With the recent passage of the Genius Act—the first federal law recognizing stablecoins as regulated money—Crebit is well-positioned to help credit unions and other financial institutions develop their stablecoin strategies. The company is currently piloting solutions with multiple credit unions and expanding their currency coverage while also maintaining their direct-to-consumer platform that originally helped international students with tuition and rent payments.More info:Crebit: https://www.crebitpay.com/; https://www.linkedin.com/company/crebit-pay/Jensen Coonradt: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jcoonradt/Simmi Sen: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simmi-sen/Greg Palmer: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregbpalmer/Finovate: https://www.finovate.com; https://www.linkedin.com/company/finovate-conference-series/FinovateSpring: https://informaconnect.com/finovatespring/#Finovate #FinovateSpring #Banking #banks #creditunions #FX #remittance #stablecoins #payments #cx #digitaladoption #podcast #fintechpodcast #financialservices #innovation #digitraltransformation #fintech #finserv #modernization

Mucha gente cree que llegar a Canadá o a Estados Unidos es solo para personas con mucho dinero o conexiones especiales. Pero la realidad es muy diferente. Existen programas diseñados específicamente para trabajadores, estudiantes y jóvenes que quieren una experiencia internacional — y muchos de ellos son más accesibles de lo que imaginas. Es cierto que Canadá necesita trabajadores jóvenes para sostener sus servicios de salud y sociales frente al envejecimiento de su población. Por eso existen estos programas, aunque no todos llevan a quedarse permanentemente — en 2023–2024 hubo un récord de inmigrantes y hoy hay límites en vigor. El primer paso es conocer los programas. Y para conocerlos, necesitas saber cómo se llaman en inglés. Hoy vas a aprender los programas más comunes: el TFW, la Working Holiday visa, el Au Pair, la oferta de trabajo de tiempo completo y los programas de estudio universitario. Después de esta lección, vas a poder hablar de estos temas con confianza. ¡Empecemos!
