Ep 79 | Building Trust into the Product - Johan Castellanos
Manage episode 517516984 series 3567780
Jack sits down in Panama City with Johan Castellanos founder of Verifik, to unpack the hard lessons of building, pivoting, and staying honest with the numbers. They explore the realities of operating in LATAM—Panama’s tax advantages, payment-rail gaps, hiring where talent density lives—and why raising capital locally demands extra grit. The through-line is discipline over ego: treat entrepreneurship like a vocation, listen harder than you speak, and let the market set the brief. They dig into attention as the scarcest resource and how to design simpler, faster experiences that respect it. Trust tech and rigorous verification show up not as buzzwords, but as principles for reducing risk and earning compounding confidence from customers.
