Ep. 46 | How to Delegate Without Hiring: Building an Intern Team to Step Into Your CEO Role (with Brittany Braswell)

I sit down with Brittany Braswell, creator of the Intern Accelerator, about helping solopreneurs scale sustainably by building teams of interns to delegate work without adding payroll and stepping into a CEO role before reaching a certain income level. Brittany shares how her internship background in dietetics shaped her approach, why entrepreneurs underestimate what they can offer interns, and how longer-term internships (minimum six months) enable training, systems adoption, and reliability. We discuss mindset blocks like feeling you must afford help first or questioning why someone would work unpaid, plus practical delegation examples such as content repurposing, newsletter setup, scheduling group calls, and inbox organization. Brittany explains onboarding, feedback, avoiding micromanagement, and recommends starting with an audit of repeatable tasks using her free Delegation Decoder, (linked below). 00:00 CEO Identity Shift00:26 Meet Brittany Braswell01:03 Show Intro and Mission02:18 Why Intern Teams Work03:20 From Overwhelm to Support04:27 Building Systems to Delegate07:32 Interns vs Traditional Hiring07:50 Intern Model Origin Story11:25 Mindset Blocks About Help15:48 Finding Aligned Interns20:11 Tasks to Delegate First22:56 Stop Micromanaging27:55 Delegation Audit Framework29:58 Free Resource and Links31:08 Where to Find Brittany31:58 Host Wrap and Next StepsBrittany's Links:Find Brittany on IGDelegation DecoderThe Intern Accelerator⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Activation MeditationSubconscious Success ScanInquire about 1:1 support by filling out this form.
