  • Love this podcast!!!

    I just started listening to this podcast and immediately started binge listening! Right now I act as my own Executive Assistant, but hope to hire one for my business “when I grow up”. Jess is so knowledgeable and shares such great and insightful information. I love how she sprinkles in stories about her own life and experiences throughout each episode. She is smart and engaging. I definitely recommend this podcast to EAs and to anyone who works (or wants to work) with an EA!
