Podcasts about virtual assistants

Welcome to our Polish Podcast. Hosts Roy and Anja discuss a series of "what if" scenarios — from the collapse of the EU, a third world war, rising pension numbers, human microchips and hidden cancer cures, to space tourism, internet control and home robots.   “Co jeśli” is the Polish way to ask “What if…?”—and in this bite-sized episode you'll say it like a native day-dreamer. First you hear the phrase at real speed, then slowed down so you can copy the soft “ć” and the gentle “jeśli.” We drop it into three imagination-ready sentences: – “Co jeśli zdam ten egzamin?” (What if I pass this exam?) – “Co jeśli się pomylę?” (What if I'm wrong?) – “Co jeśli to zadziała?” (What if it works?) Repeat-along track included—perfect while you stare out the window or plan your next big move. Challenge: DM us your boldest Polish “Co jeśli…” question and we'll answer it in next week's episode.

The healthcare industry is facing a quiet crisis: declining reimbursement rates, rising burnout, and a clinical model that hasn't evolved in 40 years. In this episode of the Will Power Podcast, Ben Barron sits down with Will Humphreys, founder of Virtual Rockstar, to pull back the curtain on the operational shifts happening inside successful medical practices.Will shares his journey from a catastrophic rock-climbing accident that broke 21 bones to becoming a physical therapy practice owner and, eventually, a leader in the offshore staffing space. They discuss why the "mirror fogging" method of hiring is killing clinics, why physical therapists struggle with the business of medicine, and how virtual assistants (VAs) are becoming the secret weapon for practices to reclaim their time and profitability.Key Takeaways:The "Profit vs. Purpose" Myth: Why financial success is actually the fuel that allows healthcare providers to fulfill their mission, not a "necessary evil."The Virtual Revolution: How clinics are using offshore talent for front-desk support, insurance verification, and billing to solve the turnover crisis.The Leadership Gap: Why technical competence as a clinician doesn't equal business acumen—and how to bridge that gap through coaching.The Future of Care: Moving away from the "2–3 times a week" linear treatment model to reach more patients without burning out staff.Recruiting in a Scarcity Market: Shifting from "hiring anyone with a pulse" to building a culture-first recruitment engine.Send us a textVirtual Rockstars specialize in helping support or replace all non-clinical roles.Learn how a Virtual Rockstar can help scale your physical therapy practice.Subscribe here to our completely free Stress-Free PT Newsletter for your weekly dose of joy.

Brittany Bettini is the Founder and CEO of I Need A VA, one of the fastest-growing virtual staffing agencies in the U.S., and the author of SheDelegates: A No-BS Guide for Women Who Refuse to Choose Between Success and Sanity (coming August 21, 2025). After years of believing she had to do everything herself—working 14-hour days, micromanaging every detail, and burning out—she discovered that delegation wasn't a luxury but a requirement for real success. That realization changed the trajectory of her business and her life. Today, Brittany is dedicated to helping female entrepreneurs stop drowning in tasks and start leading like CEOs. Through I Need A VA, she helps business owners scale faster by hiring top-tier virtual assistants, reclaim their time, and eliminate the overload that holds them back. Her no-BS approach teaches women how to delegate with confidence, focus on what matters, and finally break free from the "it's faster if I do it myself" trap. With a world-class team of VAs known for their accuracy, efficiency, and reliability, Brittany has made outsourcing simple, stress-free, and transformative. Her mission is clear: empower entrepreneurs to build their dream teams, grow their businesses without burnout, and stop trying to do it all alone. During the show we discuss: How virtual assistants help entrepreneurs reclaim time, increase revenue, and work fewer hours Which tasks business owners should delegate first to see the fastest ROI How I Need A VA matches businesses with the right VA through recruiting, vetting, and training The impact delegation has on burnout, work-life balance, and founder focus The speed and simplicity of onboarding, plus ongoing VA management and support Why outsourcing is often more cost-effective than hiring in-house staff The long-term transformation entrepreneurs experience by freeing up 10–20 hours per week Resources: https://ineedava.com/

We unpack what it means to be a “shock absorber” in relationships, why perfectionism is really anxiety in disguise, and how women can learn to set boundaries without guilt or apology. If you've ever been called “too much,” or felt like you were disappearing in your relationships or job, this episode is for you.

“Prace” means both “jobs” and “work,” and in this micro-lesson you'll say it like you're scanning the Polish classifieds. We play the word at real speed, slow it down, then slot it into three CV-ready sentences: – “Szukam nowych prac.” (I'm looking for new jobs.) – “Ta praca jest zdalna.” (This job is remote.) – “Roboty zabierają niektóre prace.” (Robots are taking some jobs.) Repeat-along track included—perfect while you update LinkedIn or queue for the unemployment office. Challenge: tweet your dream Polish job title with hashtag #mojaprace and tag us @learnpolishpodcast—we'll reply with the correct genitive form.  

Ever feel like you're drowning in intake calls while trying to actually run your practice? You're not alone. In this episode, Uriah sits down with Luci Carrillo, Productive Therapist's Director of Operations, to talk about how virtual assistant services can transform your intake process and give you your life back. Luci walks through the typical journey of a growing practice owner (spoiler: it involves a lot of stress and challenges) and explains how a dedicated intake specialist can handle everything in between the first contact and the first session. Whether you're a solo practitioner feeling the squeeze or running a 45-clinician practice that needs serious support, this conversation will help you figure out if a VA is the right move for you. If you're tired of checking emails at 9:30 PM and wondering if you missed another potential client, this episode is for you.

“Zwierzęta domowe” means “house animals,” and in this bite-sized episode you'll pronounce it like a vet from Warsaw. First you hear the phrase at full speed, then slowed down so you can master the sneaky “ę” and the soft “ź.” We drop it into three pet-proof sentences: – “Mam dwa zwierzęta domowe.” (I have two house pets.) – “Kocham mojego kota.” (I love my cat.) – “Proszę, nie wchodź na kanapę!” (Please, don't get on the couch) Repeat-along track included—perfect while you refill the water bowl or hunt for the laser pointer. Challenge: post a 5-second video of your pet with the Polish caption “To moje zwierzę domowe” and tag us @learnpolishpodcast—we'll share our favorites.

This week on the KORE Women podcast, Dr. Summer Watson, MHS, PhD does her one solo episode of the year. Her message:  How do stories change us when we let them land? Every year, I sit down and record a New Year's message for this podcast. It is the only solo podcast that I do each year. And every year, I have to get quiet first. When I started the KORE Women Podcast, I didn't know how to produce a show. I didn't know how to edit. What I did know was that women needed a safe place to talk honestly about their lives and their work. Eight years later, that's why I'm still here. I've had the honor of listening to women from all over the world- women who lead, teach, heal, build, question, and create. Women who have lived through hard seasons and kept going anyway. Every conversation has changed me. Every story has reminded me why listening matters. This New Year's episode isn't a highlight reel. It's a thank you. I share my gratitude for our guests, our listeners, and the community that continues to carry this work forward. I also reflect on the growth of KORE Women, LLC, and why moving humans forward in business, education, healthcare, and community matters now more than ever. This episode is personal. It's reflective. And it's an invitation to stay connected to the stories, to one another, and to the work of belonging as we step into 2026.

“Gry w kałamarnicę” is how Poles refer to the global hit “Squid Games,” and in this micro-lesson you'll pronounce it like you just stepped off the set. First you hear the phrase at full speed, then slowed down so you can master the twisty “ł” and the soft “nicę.” We drop it into three binge-ready sentences: – “Oglądałeś Gry w kałamarnicę?” (Have you watched Squid Games?) – “To jest tylko gra.” (It's only a game.) – “Nie umiem rysować tamtego symbolu.” (I can't draw that symbol.)

“Urodziny” means “birthday,” and in this micro-lesson you'll say it like you've been invited to the party since childhood.

Repeat-along track included—perfect to whisper while blowing out candles or typing “

This bite-sized episode is all about “pielęgnacja skóry” – skin care. First you'll hear the phrase at full speed, then slowed down so you can mimic the Polish melody.
