In this episode of The Girl Dad Show, Young Han talks with Brian Samson, founder of Plugg Technologies, about building repeatable businesses, the strategic advantages of nearshoring Latin American talent, and his family journey from fostering to adopting a baby girl. Brian has spent a decade focused on nearshoring, lived as an expat in Argentina, and grown three separate companies from $0 to $4M ARR each. He also served as VP of talent for multiple San Francisco tech companies through an IPO and an acquisition and holds an MBA from UCLA.
This conversation mixes tactical hiring and scaling advice with deeply personal reflections on parenting, adoption, and social impact. Expect practical takeaways on nearshore hiring, building systems that scale, and how family priorities shape leadership.
