    Building a US Desk From Zero to $2M: Lessons From the Trenches with Fred Forrest

    28/09/2026 | 1h 1 mins.
    In this episode, I sit down with Fred Forrest, co-founder of Sourcechange. He left a comfortable seat at Pangea, got investment from day one, and built a US energy recruitment business from a box room in Aldgate East to past $2M in year three, with no clients and no track record in the market when he started.
    We get into the tactical mistakes that made year one even harder, how Fred turned a tiny opening into Sourcechange's biggest client, and why he believes AI is only half the bet without a ferocious sales culture behind it.

    150 Companies, 190 Placements: The Only Outsourcing Episode You'll Ever Need with Kyle Grainger

    14/09/2026 | 1h 11 mins.
    In this episode, I sit down with Kyle Grainger, founder of Untapped, who has placed close to 190 people into more than 150 recruitment companies across South Africa and the Philippines over the last three and a half years.
    We break down the real numbers behind delivery consultant pay and cost, the employment-of-record risks that can leave you legally liable for someone else's employee, and the hidden margin scam where agencies quietly charge clients double what they pay the person doing the work.
