In today’s solo episode, Kendall is pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to hire and manage a team on the farm.

With Jess deep in the final stretch of launching her Geodome project, Kendall jumps on the mic alone to tackle one of the most-requested topics from listeners: how do you know when it’s time to hire—and what do you need in place before you do?

From her first hires (spoiler: they were her step-kids) to growing a team of 11 at Central Park Farms, Kendall walks through the lessons, mistakes, systems, and safety requirements that come with building a team in agriculture.

She talks about:

• Why hiring doesn’t magically make things easier (and often makes things harder first)
• How much revenue you really need to generate before bringing someone on
• VAs vs. in-house help—and why Kendall's a self-declared terrible VA client
• The key systems to set up before you ever post a job
• WorkSafeBC rules you probably don’t know kick in at 11+ employees
• Why an employee handbook isn’t just paperwork—it’s protection
• How Kendall builds a workplace culture her staff want to be part of

Whether you’re about to hire your first part-time helper or you’ve got a team and are trying to get more organized, this episode is packed with the hard-won insights Kendall wishes she had when she started out.
