This week’s Hot Take comes from Niche member Megan, who’s debating a big agency growth move: bring on independent contractors or hire employees? Jennifer and Robin discuss the different aspects of both options starting from clarifying your long-term vision and navigating the legal/financial fine print to tackling the very real emotional side of building a team. You’ll hear strategies for protecting your brand, lightening your workload, and scaling smart (with some bonus insights from Agency Expansion Academy). Tune in to get the clarity you need for making the best decision for your business!
