Master Delegator Podcast
Are you a lazy entrepreneur who wants to work smarter, not harder? If so, you’re in the right place!
Hosted by Kristy Yoder, CEO of SmartVAs and Meet5starVAs, this podcast is all about leveraging delegation, automation, and virtual assistants to scale your business efficiently—without doing everything yourself.
Born and raised in Manila, Philippines, Kristy moved to the U.S. and grew her agency from a one-person operation to 70+ team members. Her business 10x’d within three months of hiring her first virtual assistant, and now she’s on a mission to help other overwhelmed entrepreneurs experience the same success.
Each episode dives into proven strategies for delegation, outsourcing, automation, and productivity, featuring expert insights and real-world success stories.
So, if you’re ready to achieve more by doing less, subscribe to Master Delegator and start building a business that runs without you doing it all!
