Nearshoring Explained: How to Build Remote Teams - Brian Samson

Nearshoring is reshaping how U.S. companies build teams — and Brian Samson, founder of Plug Technologies, has spent over a decade helping businesses do it right. In this episode of What's Your Deal, Brian joins Matt Uhler to break down why nearshoring has become a go-to strategy for outsourced talent.

 

Brian shares firsthand experience building an 80-person remote team from the ground up, the real cost breakdown between hiring domestically versus nearshoring, and how his company handles everything from sourcing and vetting to compliance and IP protection — while stepping back so clients build direct relationships with their hires.

 

Whether you're a small business owner considering your first remote hire or scaling a larger team, this conversation offers a practical, no-nonsense look at how nearshoring works — and whether it's the right move for your business.
