Missionaries Not Mercenaries: Redefining Remote Work Culture with Luis Derechin

As entrepreneurs, we"re constantly seeking ways to scale our businesses without breaking the bank or compromising on quality. The challenge of finding top talent while managing costs is a familiar struggle for many of us.  Hiring shouldn"t feel like an impossible triangle—burning cash for top talent, settling for low-cost underperformance, or missing your growth moment altogether. In this episode of The Business Chop, we chop it up with Luis Derechin, CEO of Nir Yu, who introduces us to a smarter way forward: R.E.M.O.T.E. Intelligence. Luis breaks down his proven framework for building high-performance teams with Latin American talent—without sacrificing quality, speed, or company culture. We unpack the seven deadly sins of remote hiring, how to scale without the burnout, and why hiring missionaries (not mercenaries) will transform your business. From onboarding to performance metrics to pay transparency, Luis shows us how to rethink outsourcing—starting with a mindset shift. If you’re a solopreneur or startup leader struggling to scale smart, this conversation might be your game changer.
