Hiring a VA? Here's What Actually Matters

Think you're ready to hire a VA... but have no idea where to start? You're not alone. Every growing freelancer hits that wall — a million tasks, not enough hours, and zero clue who to trust with the work. In this episode, Preston sits down with Austin Church (founder of Freelance Cake Community) to break it all down. Austin brings 4+ years of real VA experience and shares the one thing most freelancers get wrong when hiring — plus his dead-simple framework for knowing exactly what to hand off first. Character vs. skills. Freedom vs. burnout. This one might change how you run your business.
