Send us a text Kasim Aslam, founder of Solutions 8 and expert in hiring remote top 1% talent, reveals how entrepreneurs can build extraordinary teams by treating people as "miracles" rather than commodities. He shares his counterintuitive approach to finding and empowering exceptional talent while leveraging AI as a tool that makes human uniqueness more valuable than ever. • Entrepreneurs are "broken people" who experience dopamine during pursuit rather than achievement of goals • Most business books treat employees as interchangeable commodities, leading to mediocre results • The Pareto principle shows that 20% of people produce 80% of results – fight this natural distribution at your peril • US employers struggle to hire top talent locally as they compete with tech giants and entrepreneurship • International hiring creates win-win situations where your US company becomes an aspirational employer • Pay 10% above the high watermark (not median) to access talent that performs 10-100x better • Use paid trial projects instead of resumes and interviews to identify exceptional candidates • AI replaces tasks rather than jobs, making mediocre employees dangerous while making exceptional ones more valuable • Delegate projects not tasks, and focus on outputs rather than time spent • Virtual work requires intentional connection through small teams, shared interests, and occasional in-person gatherings Start building your dream team today by identifying what miracle workers you need and creating the conditions for them to thrive.

Send us a text Chris Anderson welcomes Jeremy Hill, a seasoned entrepreneur with 25 years of experience in private markets who has facilitated over $2 billion in deals through JB Capital. Their conversation offers profound insights on entrepreneurship, faith, family values, and maintaining character in business. • Private markets defined as everything beyond traditional stocks and bonds - from private equity to small businesses to alternative investments • When seeking investors, look beyond money for partners who bring additional value through connections, experience, or industry knowledge • The best business partnerships accelerate growth through resources beyond just financial capital • Jeremy initially pursued becoming a doctor not for medicine but for the lifestyle and respect it commanded • Traditional values like dressing well, speaking properly, and maintaining manners still matter in business • Throw out the concept of "work-life balance" and focus instead on harmony and consistent quality time with family • Marriage during entrepreneurship requires choosing each other repeatedly despite career uncertainties • Faith provides essential alignment and foundation for leadership in business and family • A resurgence of traditional values and appreciation for small business is emerging among younger generations • Growth requires struggle - wear your challenges as a badge of honor rather than avoiding discomfort Connect with Jeremy on social media @JeremyBHill or through JB Capital's website to learn more about his work in private markets and men's leadership groups.
