Most creative agency owners manage contractors the wrong way — unclear scope, no structure, and paying for hours instead of outcomes. In this episode, Dustin Pead breaks down the three rules that change everything.

In this episode you'll learn:

• Why defining a "sandbox" (not a shipping box) before hiring saves you from scope creep and frustration
• How a simple weekly 15-30 minute check-in keeps contractors accountable without micromanaging
• Why paying for deliverable-based milestones instead of hours protects your budget and buys back your time
