64. From Hiring to Handoff: Meet the Team Behind Pivot Ball Change
Meet the team behind Pivot Ball Change. In this episode, I sit down with my two editors, Becca and Paige, for a behind-the-scenes look at how they each got into podcast editing, what it’s really like working inside the business, and how this role fits into their lives as busy moms. We talk candidly about their different hiring experiences, what it takes to build trust on a small team, and how I stay connected to clients while remaining hands-off in the day-to-day. If you’ve ever been curious about outsourcing your podcast or breaking into the editing world yourself, this conversation offers both transparency and practical insight.
