Linda Abraham has been a leader in the admissions consulting field since 1994. She founded Accepted to empower applicants to tell their unique stories through their college, graduate school, business school, law school, and medical school applications. Linda’s passion for sharing information about admissions and empowering applicants to achieve their goals led her to start the Admissions Straight Talk podcast in 2012.
At Don’t Panic Management, we’ve been able to work with Linda on the Admissions Straight Talk podcast throughout their production process, along with daily standard administrative procedures. In this episode, Linda shares her perspective on the evolution of the podcast and why building a solid team, including virtual assistants, helps small businesses scale and reach new audiences.
Key Takeaways:
- Hiring virtual assistants for podcast production and management can help alleviate business stresses and production time turnaround.

- Flexibility is crucial when working in virtual environments.
