Beyond the Business Card with Adam Michael Toctan: Entrepreneurship, Growth & the MCG Talent Story
from Beyond the Business Card · host Beyond the Business Card
In this episode of Beyond the Business Card, Justin McGuire—entrepreneur, founder of MCG Talent, and creator of 7-Figure Recruitment—sits down with Adam Toctan, co-founder of MCG Talent and the driving force behind its expansion into Asia. Adam grew up as an only child, watching his parents work tirelessly to build a better future. Their work ethic shaped his own, pushing him through private school, grammar school, and eventually into studying design. After landing a job with a product design company, he was let go just six months in—an unexpected turn that led him into recruitment. He quickly realised his love for sales and spent the next decade in creative recruitment before taking on his biggest challenge yet: launching MCG Talent’s Asia operations. 💡 In This Episode, You’ll Discover: • How growing up in a hardworking family shaped Adam’s work ethic. • The lessons he learned from being let go six months into his first job. • The real challenges of moving to Hong Kong and building a business from scratch. • His honest approach to recruitment and why it gets results. • How expanding into Asia saved MCG Talent during a major downturn in the Middle East. • The highs and lows of expat life, from rapid career growth to cultural adjustments. • Why most people don’t actually make the most of their time abroad—and how to avoid that mistake. This episode is packed with raw insights, candid lessons, and plenty of laughs from Justin and Adam’s years of working together. If you’ve ever thought about taking your career global, this is one you don’t want to miss. 🔔 Subscribe to Beyond the Business Card for more inspiring stories from entrepreneurs and industry leaders. 📲 Follow Justin McGuire: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jussiemcg/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jumcguire 📲 Follow 7-Figure Recruitment: Website: https://7figurerecruitment.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/7-figure-recruitment-scaling-systems/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/7figuresrec/ 📲 Stay Connected with MCG Talent: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mcg_talent/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/mcgtalent/ 📲 Connect with Adam Toctan LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adammichaeltoctan/
