Here we are, part two of the biggest conversation we've ever shared here at Being Boss.

In the last episode, I shared the first part of an interview conducted by Michelle Corey, my friend and CEO of frequency media,

as she interviewed Kathleen and me about the path that has led us to a full transition of partnership that leaves me, Emily here, the sole owner of

being boss.

To get you caught up, we left off the last episode by sharing the moments when Kathleen

came to me with the offer to transfer a full ownership of

being Boss just a few months after a transition of 50-50 partnership to 1815 it took place.

It is my pleasure to introduce you today to our newest sponsor, Gusto, a company we've

unofficially wrapped before because we use them, we love

them, and they certainly fit in the criteria of helping you the boss.

In every gathering of bosses I've ever had the pleasure of being a part of, the topic of hiring

employees always comes up.

From hiring your first to your 50th employee, it's a milestone for the creative business

owner, and it's one that feels daunting enough

Gusto is an easy online payroll and benefits service built for modern small businesses.

In other words, it's a people platform, one place to pay and take care of your hardworking

team. Get three months free when you run your first payroll by going to gusto.com slash
