What does it take to lead in one of the most complex, fast-evolving, and compliance-heavy industries around—while wearing multiple hats and still managing to stay grounded? In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and background screening veteran, Vince Pascarella. Vince isn’t just a compliance guru—he’s worn every hat in the business, from general counsel to sales leader to the brains behind custom-built risk mitigation tools. We cover it all: his early days at HR Plus, his journey through industry-defining mergers, and the big ideas that are pushing screening forward. But we also go deeper—into fatherhood, personal reinvention, and the lasting impact of integrity. Vince’s story is equal parts insightful and inspiring, packed with moments that will make you think—and make you laugh.
He had his bar results for an hour… and a business card by lunch. Trust me, this is one you’ll want to hear from start to finish.
