Building an International Business with Jason Quagliata

In this episode of Business Isn’t Hard, I sit down with Jason Quagliata, founder of Q Logistics Group, to unpack what it really takes to go from employee to entrepreneur. Jason’s journey started with years of international experience - living abroad, learning the industry from the inside out, and building authentic relationships that would later become the foundation of his business.

We talk about why working within an industry before launching your own venture gives you a real competitive edge, how to develop and actually execute a business plan, and the mindset required to spot opportunities others miss. Jason also shares insights on going solo versus having partners, how to build cross-functional experience early in your career, and what it takes to earn trust in international markets.

Whether you’re a college student, aspiring founder, or early-career professional, this episode is full of actionable takeaways for building something that lasts.
