In this episode, host Josh Elledge talks with Sid Jashnani, Founder of Rekruuto and certified EOS implementer, about how founders can reclaim their time, scale with confidence, and access high-performing global talent. Sid shares his personal leadership journey, his frameworks for effective delegation, and his expert perspective on hiring senior-level overseas professionals—revealing practical, repeatable systems founders can apply immediately.

Sid’s story begins on the golf course with his 14-year-old son during a period of serious illness—an experience that reshaped how he leads both at home and in business. Instead of defaulting to advice or correction, Sid embraced curiosity, asking open-ended questions that encouraged deeper connection. This same leadership principle applies directly to business: when founders listen more and prescribe less, teams become empowered, engaged, and more accountable.

Sid also challenges the common belief that overseas hiring should be limited to entry-level roles. Drawing from his experience in the Philippines, he explains why many mid- and senior-level professionals abroad bring global expertise, strong process orientation, and cultural adaptability—making them strong fits for operations, marketing, finance, and management roles within EOS-driven companies. With proper onboarding and context-sharing, these hires integrate seamlessly and provide exceptional value at a fraction of the cost.

To help founders free themselves from burnout and low-value tasks, Sid offers his four-quadrant time audit: a simple but powerful system for categorizing activities based on skill and enjoyment. By identifying tasks you are good at but dislike—or those you neither enjoy nor do well—leaders can delegate strategically, reinvesting their energy into high-impact work that drives revenue, growth, and clarity.

In this episode, host Josh Elledge talks with Rob Levin, Chairman and Co-Founder of WorkBetterNow, about how nearshore talent is transforming the way small and mid-sized businesses scale and strengthen their teams. Rob—also the host of the Great Talent Great Business podcast and author of the forthcoming New Talent Playbook—explains why nearshoring offers a competitive advantage and how companies can use it to build high-performing, culture-aligned teams.

Rob explains that U.S. companies continue to battle a persistent talent shortage, rising salaries, and intense competition for high-performing professionals. Nearshoring solves these challenges by giving leaders access to highly skilled, English-proficient team members across Latin America who work in real time, align culturally, and bring strong loyalty and work ethic.

He shares examples of how roles such as executive assistants, estimating support, inside sales, marketing, finance, and customer service can dramatically increase organizational capacity. When leaders delegate operational tasks to nearshore professionals, they free themselves to focus on strategy, revenue, and growth. WorkBetterNow further strengthens this advantage by training all talent in AI, boosting efficiency, accuracy, and innovation.

Rob also highlights how nearshoring simplifies HR for business owners. WorkBetterNow handles payroll, compliance, and all employment-related responsibilities, eliminating legal risk and administrative burden. Companies see the best results when they treat nearshore professionals as integrated team members—with clear expectations, cultural inclusion, and strong communication rhythms.
