Summary

Melissa is drowning in her own to-do list but terrified to bring on help—what if a new hire messes up a client deliverable or damages her brand? Preston and business lawyer Joey Vitale break down exactly where to start delegating without the risk, from running accountability calls to tracking key business metrics. They dig into how to build trust with a new teammate gradually, why emotional safety matters just as much as task lists, and how to know when you're ready to hand off bigger, client-facing work.
