In this episode, Lucy and Yasmine are asking the big question: Do I REALLY need to pay an agency to do that?!

From branding basics to paid media and everything in between, the girls share their experiences navigating the challenges of outsourcing versus doing it yourself. They dive into when it makes sense to work with agencies or freelancers, how to avoid getting burned, and why you should always understand the services you're hiring for.

Plus, they discuss their biggest lessons learned from building their own brands, the importance of a strong creative engine for ads, and why trusting your gut when hiring is key.

No guests today—just Lucy and Yasmine bringing you the ultimate real talk on how to grow your business without wasting time or money.
