21 Aug | 2024

Over the past few years, we have received this question over and over:

“What is the right order to hire people for my school? Who should I hire first?”

Don’t know why we waited so long… but we finally did it!

And – the discussion between Nate and Daniel about this will help you to not only understand the WHAT of the hiring order… but also the WHY…

So that you can make a good decision about the correct hiring order for your studio or school!

By the way, even if you have a small studio and don’t plan to scale up to 100’s of students…

There’s something here for you.

I talk about the role players you need for a small studio so you aren’t doing the jobs of 15 different people.

This is yet another practical episode.

And – while it might seem like this is an episode about hiring… it’s more about scaling, strategy, and growth.

We’re really proud of this one!
