Hiring your first W-2 employee changes more than payroll. It changes how you lead.

In this episode, I'm joined by HR expert Tiffany Slater of HR TailorMade to talk about what actually shifts when you move from an all-contractor model to a hybrid team with employees.

We discuss expectations, accountability, performance conversations, and the infrastructure your firm needs as you step into real team leadership. If you currently have one employee, are about to hire your first, or feel like your hybrid structure is getting messy, this episode will help you understand what changes and how to lead through it with more clarity.
