Brian Samson, one of the Co-founders of Nearshore Systems, a software development and recruitment services company founded in San Francisco joins Enterprise Radio.

Listen to interview with host Eric Dye & guest Brian Samson discuss the following:

* It’s really unusual to see a company with 3 different service lines like yours. Can you talk us through what led you there and some of the types of projects you work on?

* It’s not common to have someone with a recruiting background leading an engineering services company. Can you talk a little bit about the transition? What made it difficult and what was easy about it?

* Nearly 80% of your team is in Argentina, can you talk about what led you there?

* Since you have such a strong belief in recruiting, can you tell us a little more about how you’ve hired the team at Nearshore?

* For entrepreneurs listening in today, what advice do you have for them if they were to look at nearshoring? Either setting up their own office or working with a nearshore service provider?

Nearshore Systems is a services company, with 3 core services to help technology companies grow. The services are: engineering, recruiting, and SEO.

Brian Samson is one of the cofounders of Nearshore Systems, where he oversees all of the business functions, including sales, marketing, finance, and HR for the company.

Brian started his career in recruiting and believes that the most important piece to building a successful company is the team.

Jonathan Citrin, a top keynote speaker on human behavior and behavioral finance, author, and financial advisor again joins Enterprise Radio to discuss why we want control and how it hurts growth.

Listen to interview with host Eric Dye & guest Jonathan Citrin discuss the following:

* It is good to have you back. I would like to start by briefly getting an update on what you have been up to the past months – where have you been spending your time and energy?

* You mentioned you have been very busy talking a lot about “control.” But, what do you mean by “control” and why are you so fixed on this topic?

* So, a desire for control is deeply seeded in all of us. Can you tell us how this impacts businesses and entrepreneurs?

* That is really something we do not hear about elsewhere. Can you give a few insights for businesses and entrepreneurs that will help them improve and overcome their need for control?

* This has applications to business and entrepreneurs, but can we even apply it beyond that level – say, for example, in our personal lives?

Jonathan Citrin is a top keynote speaker on human behavior and behavioral finance, author, and financial advisor.

Citrin has been a speaker since 2004, giving lectures, keynotes, and presentations to audiences that include multinational conferences, business and financial professionals, students, and private groups.

John Crestani, an internationally-renowned expert in affiliate marketing joins Enterprise Radio for a series of interviews. On this episode, John will cover the importance of virtual reality and how to effectively use it as a tool for your business.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest John Crestani discuss the following:

* What is the importance of virtual reality, and why do you believe it is an important part of the future? I cant imagine a future where everyone is walking around with those clunky black boxes strapped to their heads.

* What is your involvement with virtual reality?

* What types of businesses are currently using VR, and what types of business do you see using VR in the future?

* Is VR feasible to use for the average consumer? If not, when will it be usable?

* If someone is interested in getting into VR, what is the best device to buy?

* If people want to get to know more about you, where should they go?

Born in 1987, John Crestani has accomplished a lot in his twenty-nine years. Cretstani had his first taste of financial & mobility independence in 2006; as he and his first car sped off to college. Fast forward to 2009 and Crestani, 21, traveled to Thailand to figure out his direction in life and “find” himself. During this time he read a number of spiritual works, such as The Alchemist, that would later influence his life.

But his saving grace turned out to be a business book: The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss, the now-classic manual for breaking free of the nine-to-five desk job by building an online business. John Crestani was sitting on a beach in Thailand, poor and lost in his life when he opened a book that helped transform him to becoming a motivated and successful internet entrepreneur.

After a number of years of trial-and-error of building his internet business, Crestani finally managed to create a multi-million dollar business, met his wife, and travel the world. In 2016, he had his first child while growing the company. He went from deep in debt, to having a successful, cashflow-positive business, that supports his life.

As of late he’s gone on to build an empire in education. And now he’s taken it upon himself to teach a handful of aspiring entrepreneurs how they too can transition to the new entrepreneurial economy, and be the boss of themselves. Currently Crestani is preparing for the release of his new platform; a dramatic new business model focused on helping others gain control of their time.

Crestani hopes to share his unparalleled insight and experience and wants others to become part of a community of people who share similar aspirations. “Now is the only time to start living life on your own terms,” exclaims Crestani, adding “I hope to help people in any way I can.”

Prema Lee Gurreri, the author of Your Sacred Wealth Code: Unlock Your Soul Blueprint for Purpose & Prosperity joins Enterprise Radio. Prema empowers leaders, entrepreneurs, visionaries, and change agents to take inspired action and unlock their Sacred Wealth Code®.

This episode of Enterprise Radio is working in conjunction with the Author Channel.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Prema Lee Gurreri discuss the following:

* What is the Sacred Wealth Code?

* Why do you think everyone should know their Sacred Wealth Code?

* How did you come up with the concept for the Sacred Wealth Code?

* Vedic Astrology and business development … Sounds like an odd pairing! Why did you choose to approach your business and nancial teachings in this way?

* How might someone’s Wealth Code show up in his or her daily life?

* What are three things everyone should know about their Sacred Wealth Code?

* What is the biggest success story you have for someone working with their Sacred Wealth Code?

* What is the biggest mistake someone can make when changing careers or opening a business (as it relates to their Sacred Wealth Code)?

* If you could share just one “big truth” with every entrepreneur in the world, what would it be?

* Who specifically do you work with in your coaching and business development practice?

For more than 25 years, I’ve used my expertise to help transform lives from the inside out. I love potent language that liberates, gets things moving into balance, and manifests highest aspirations. I created the Soul Success Map™ and Sacred Wealth Code™ from my insight as a certified Vedic Astrologer, and I offer this “Science of Light” as a pathway of understanding one’s own divine gifts and talents, soul purpose, wiring for wealth, and illuminating soul choices.

Being an entrepreneur is part of my divine encoding, and I have built businesses for each phase of my life. Being an entrepreneur is a spiritual journey, and I serve others best with the culmination of all of my divine gifts.

In my last life, I founded a spiritual and wellness center, Yoga and Beyond, with a strong desire to create a community in Bainbridge Island and Seattle, Washington. I carried a host of clients through private guidance/coaching and conducted a full registry of classes and workshops. I also trained beginning to advanced teachers in my own methods. The center became home to a dynamic group of healing practitioners who worked in collaboration with me and was even the setting for my six-episode yoga TV series “The Yoga of Life” (available on DVD).

In my personal life, every place I live becomes a garden of food and flower in a Findhorn-like way. With a great love of music, I study the art of sacred sound and enjoy playing the harmonium, the ukulele, and chanting. My references to journeys are figurative and literal: my travels, including blue water sailing aboard a 38-foot yacht that I called home for several years in Mexico, the San Juan Islands, and British Columbia. These provide me with experiences that help me guide others. The blessing of growing up with horses has given me valuable lessons in intuitive connection and self-trust.

I have the honor of being a mom to my two amazing children who are now in their twenties. I live just outside of Seattle near the water with my beloved and Bella, the standard poodle. When I’m not working, you can find me in the garden, hiking to the beach, or star gazing.
