Leveraging AI and Offshore Talent to Scale Your Company With Brad Stevens","description":" In this episode, I sit down with Brad Stevens, a serial entrepreneur and founder of Outsource Access, to break down how business owners can actually scale using AI, systems, and offshore talent\u2014and why most entrepreneurs are doing it completely wrong. Brad shares his journey from launching businesses at a young age to building and scaling multiple companies across 18 countries, including growing Outsource Access to hundreds of team members in just a few years. We talk about why 2026 is the year of execution when it comes to AI, how offshore teams are changing the game for small to mid-sized businesses, and what it really takes to build a scalable operation without burning out. We also dive into the real story behind how Outsource Access was built\u2014starting from a major business setback that forced Brad to rethink everything. From product failures and cash flow pressure to discovering the power of global talent, he breaks down how adversity led to one of the most impactful business pivots of his career. Brad shares how top operators are leveraging offshore teams not just to save money\u2014but to increase efficiency, improve operations, and create true leverage inside their business. He also unpacks the biggest mistakes business owners make when hiring virtual teams, and how to actually build a high-performing remote workforce that drives growth. Toward the end of the conversation, we get into leadership, delegation, and why most entrepreneurs stay stuck doing everything themselves. Brad explains how to identify what you should not be doing, how to buy back your time, and how to build a business that isn\u2019t dependent on you for every decision. If you\u2019re a contractor or business owner looking to scale smarter, leverage AI and global talent, and build a business that can grow without you being the bottleneck, this episode will give you a clear framework to start building real leverage in your company.   ","author_name":"The Start Build Grow Show: A Roofing Contractor Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/startbuildgrowshow.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
