About this episode
Katie Peterman discusses the importance of fractional executives and how to effectively bring in outside support for growing businesses.

She reveals why so many businesses get burnt by agencies, how to set clear expectations and KPIs even when you lack the expertise yourself, and the right way to vet and onboard talent that actually delivers. You’ll learn exactly when your “fire” is dimming and it’s time to hand off the tasks draining your joy, why fractional executives often beat full-time hires for growing companies, and how FRX carefully selects battle-tested operators who have sat in real C-suite seats managing seven-figure budgets.
