One Person. Not Enough Hands. Here's What to Do.

When a fan messaged in with real frustration about being stretched too thin, Eric and Mike did what they do best: turned it into a conversation worth having. This one is all about the challenge of finding help when you're a marketing team of one, and why it is harder than it sounds. They dig into how to figure out what you actually need help with before you go looking, why handing everything to someone new on day one is a recipe for disappointment, and how to vet partners in a way that builds real trust over time. They also get into where to find the right people, from local creative communities to professional networks, and why investing in those relationships before you desperately need them is the right move.
