Kasim Aslam, founder of Solutions 8 and expert in hiring remote top 1% talent, reveals how entrepreneurs can build extraordinary teams by treating people as "miracles" rather than commodities. He shares his counterintuitive approach to finding and empowering exceptional talent while leveraging AI as a tool that makes human uniqueness more valuable than ever.

• Entrepreneurs are "broken people" who experience dopamine during pursuit rather than achievement of goals
• Most business books treat employees as interchangeable commodities, leading to mediocre results
• The Pareto principle shows that 20% of people produce 80% of results – fight this natural distribution at your peril
• US employers struggle to hire top talent locally as they compete with tech giants and entrepreneurship
• International hiring creates win-win situations where your US company becomes an aspirational employer
• Pay 10% above the high watermark (not median) to access talent that performs 10-100x better
• Use paid trial projects instead of resumes and interviews to identify exceptional candidates
• AI replaces tasks rather than jobs, making mediocre employees dangerous while making exceptional ones more valuable
• Delegate projects not tasks, and focus on outputs rather than time spent
• Virtual work requires intentional connection through small teams, shared interests, and occasional in-person gatherings

Start building your dream team today by identifying what miracle workers you need and creating the conditions for them to thrive.
