This is an Open Coffee for Fractionals session — part of my coaching practice.
This one got deep into the business of being Fractional:
Stephen Lauck and Sam Taggart swapped war stories about Zoom chaos, Teams pain, and what tool sprawl does to delivery flow.
Adam White shared his path from full-time to fractional to full-time again — and back — plus the existential dread of pitching live to other CTOs.
Meena Narsinghani broke down the challenge of straddling product and engineering — and how AI agents are already reshaping backlog grooming and user story generation.
Karl Schmidt brought back a report from Vancouver's Web Summit: AI is the question everyone’s asking — even if no one has answers yet.
We talked about selling advisory vs delivery, and how most clients still don’t understand what fractional is — or how to engage us. The line between contractor and peer is blurry, and structuring these relationships takes real work.
