Ever wonder why outsourcing projects fail, and how to make sure yours doesn’t blow up in your face?
In this episode, Matt and Luigi sit down with serial entrepreneur Russell “Sean” Languedoc, founder of Outforce.ai. Sean pulls back the curtain on why most outsourced tech projects tank, how agency bait-and-switch happens, and why understanding cultural nuance is just as important as coding expertise. From building Uber-meets-oilfield startups to tackling the outsourced engineering black hole, Sean’s entrepreneurial story is raw, hilarious, and refreshingly unfiltered.
