Podcast Feature: Kristy Smith joins DFK ANZ’s Less Than 15 Podcast

Feeling the 30%? You’re not alone.

We’re excited to share that Kristy Smith, Founder and Director of Virtual Elves, recently joined the Less Than 15podcast hosted by DFK ANZ, a leading accounting and advisory association with 90+ member firms across Australia and New Zealand.

DFK ANZ members are trusted advisors to business leaders across industries, offering strategic insight, financial expertise, and a deep commitment to helping clients grow. Their Less Than 15 podcast is designed to deliver high-value insights in, you guessed it, under 15 minutes.

In this candid conversation with host Rob Shelton, Kristy dives into the real reason so many business owners feel overwhelmed: they’re carrying a hidden workload that doesn’t serve them or their goals.

What’s inside this episode:

  • The “30% burden” and how it impacts business owners
  • The SADD Method: Systemise, Automate, Delegate or Ditch
  • Why hiring a VA is less about letting go and more about gaining freedom
  • How virtual assistant teams can support internal staff, increase productivity, and drive revenue

Kristy also shares lessons from over 15 years of experience in the outsourcing space, including how ethical, strategic virtual assistant partnerships are reshaping the way Australian businesses operate.

This is a powerful listen for entrepreneurs, leaders, and even corporate teams looking for smart ways to reclaim time, reduce overwhelm, and scale sustainably – with support that actually works.
