- The Power of Events: Will shares humbling stories from recent industry events (Mindshare and Therapy) where clients praised their VAs, validating their specialization in the PT/SLP space.
- New Recruiting Strategy: Introducing a new "School Group" intended to become a massive thought-leader community, acting as an internal candidate pool to cherry-pick the best VAs for future hires.

- Leading from Love and Authenticity: The realization that powerful leadership comes from being authentic and operating from a place of genuine care (like Hope's and Denise's shares).
