Leveraging Fractional Professionals and Adapting to Future Business Trends With Joseph Frost
Q: And tell me, how do you, what's like the value proposition, or what's the pitch to other CMOs to join up with your CMO, for you to like place them out?
The value proposition is that CMOs can go out on their own but not alone; we provide a franchise-style support system, ready-made processes, and a path to build a sellable fractional business, with coordinators and infrastructure that make it feasible to scale the practice.
Revolutionizing Team Management Through AI-Powered Behavioral Data With Jason P. Carroll
Q: What sparked your shift from traditional assessments to an AI-driven approach?

Crafting a Bold, Unmistakable Brand Voice in the AI Age With Justin Blackman
Q: How do you handle AI in the development of brand voice, especially with everyday writers or marketing teams?
AI is used as a structured thinking partner; I provide voice codes, patterns, and math-based processes so AI can deliver content that stays on brand. I still prefer writing by hand when creating core materials, and AI is best for quick drafts or transitions, not for the core, emotionally resonant pieces.
