What’s in this episode:
If your days are eaten alive by email, calendar chaos, and never-ending “little things,” this episode will change the way you run your business. Michael and Courtney sit down with coach and consultant Drew Griggs and his executive assistant Tiana Adams to talk about the one hire that buys you freedom—and why waiting too long costs you more than money.

From the mindset shift of hiring before you feel “ready,” to the tools, processes, and boundaries that make delegation work, this conversation is a tactical roadmap for buying back your time without losing control. Whether you’re drowning in admin work or just want to reclaim hours for sales, family, or golf, you’ll leave with a clear action plan to make your first (or next) assistant hire count.
