How to Manage Overseas Teams & Contractors

‍‍In this video, I break down how to hire, manage, and scale with overseas contractors—not just to save money, but to build a high-leverage, systems-driven team that actually gets results.

I explain why most founders struggle when hiring overseas, how to think about delegation through systems instead of roles, and the exact framework we used to build and manage large overseas teams at scale.

You’ll learn:

• What an overseas contractor actually is (and why they’re not “VAs”)
• How to structure teams for leverage (US employees vs overseas contractors)
• Why systems and playbooks matter more than effort
• How to manage contractors for output—not hours
• How to communicate, build trust, and avoid common failure points
• When hiring overseas doesn’t work—and how to prevent it
