What if your Virtual Assistant wasn’t just someone you handed tasks to—but a true business growth partner who helped you scale, innovate, and stay in your zone of genius?

In this episode of The Power of Two, Danny Bermant sits down with professional organizer and personal stylist Kathi Burns to explore how treating your VA as a partner—not a subordinate—can transform the way you run your business.

Kathi shares how she’s cultivated long-term relationships with her VAs—some lasting over 18 years—and why success depends on trust, clear communication, and empowering them to own their role.

Catch these highlights from our discussion:

>> Why your VA should be seen as a partner in business, not just a task-taker

>> The role of SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) in helping VAs work independently

>> How delegating “below your pay grade” frees you to focus on your highest-value work

…and much more!
