Ready to hire your first virtual assistant but not sure where to start? Elena's question hits on something every growing freelancer faces: you have a million different tasks that need doing, but how do you find the right person to handle them all? In this episode, Preston teams up with Austin Church (founder of Freelance Cake Community) to break down the hiring process from character evaluation to smart delegation strategies. Austin shares real insights from his 4+ year relationship with his VA, including why he prioritizes character over skills and his brilliant low-stakes/high-frequency framework for deciding what to delegate first.
