Episode Details

Thinking about hiring a studio assistant but not sure where to start? In part one of this conversation, Ryan & Becca break down how to identify bottlenecks in your studio, when better systems might be the real solution, and how to decide if it’s time to bring someone on.

We also talk through how to find the right person, what to prioritize when hiring, and how to delegate and train in a way that genuinely frees up your time.
