Welcome back to another episode of A Nerd, A Teacher and a Hockey Player! Today, Paul, Kimber, and Jeff are joined by Kristen Selby, owner of Timely Executive Assistants, for an insightful (and pun-filled) conversation titled "Filling Your Cheese." The crew dives into how leaders and business owners can identify the "holes" in their skillsets—those tasks that drain their energy or fall outside their strengths—and strategically fill those gaps through delegation and outsourcing.

Kristen shares her expert framework for deciding when to tackle a skill yourself and when it's smarter to hand it off, using that creative "cheese" metaphor. Along the way, we get personal stories about music as a love language, the anxieties of learning to delegate, and tips for helping teams and individuals discover their own "zones of genius."

Packed with relatable business lessons and plenty of humor, this episode is all about working smarter, not harder—and remembering that the holes in your cheese are what make you, and your organization, unique. Settle in for inspiration and some seriously good advice on how to grow your business (and yourself) by letting go.
