Welcome to The Nearshore Cafe Podcast, hosted by Brian Samson and sponsored by 💻 Plugg Technologies (plugg.tech), a nearshore talent partner connecting U.S. companies with English-speaking software engineers and digital talent across Latin America.
In this episode, Brian sits down with longtime entrepreneur Joe Helleny, Founder & CEO of CourtMoney, to discuss how U.S. companies can successfully build a 24/7 nearshore call center in Central America.
Joe shares his journey from fourth-generation entrepreneurship in Southern Illinois to building ATMs, launching online government payment systems, and expanding into full-scale municipal software development. The conversation explores how and when founders know it’s time to outsource support — and how nearshoring became a strategic advantage.
Together, they break down:
• When founders should step out of day-to-day support
• Building a 24-hour call center operation
• Lessons from U.S.-based call center partnerships
• Transitioning to Central America nearshore teams
• English proficiency and professionalism concerns
• Handling sensitive financial transactions offshore
• Time zone vs. quality tradeoffs
• AI, automation, and the future of SaaS in payments
Joe explains how his Nicaragua-based team became more than just a cost solution they became a long-term operational partner.
🎧 If you’re a founder, SaaS operator, or business owner exploring nearshoring, customer support outsourcing, or Central America call center solutions, this episode delivers real-world insight.
