This is an Open Coffee for Fractionals session — part of my coaching practice.Chris Hilton brought in a live dilemma: when a founder friend wants you full-time but you’re only willing to engage fractionally, how do you make it work?We compared notes on retainers, boundaries, and the risks of equity-heavy compensation, while also detouring into business acquisitions, old cars, and the politics of refrigerants.We got into: Structuring retainers to balance client comfort and fractional freedom Why equity in exchange for comp is often a scam at the engineer level The realities of SBA loans and specialty financing in auto-related acquisitions Stories of Model Ts, VW buses, and EV charging frustrations Refrigerants, regulation, and the absurdity of industry transitions Insurance adjusters, home repairs, and the value of documentationNo slides. No pitches. No agenda. Just honest conversation.📅 Recorded September 8, 2025🎙️ Hosted by David RaistrickJoin a future sessionExplore the For Fractionals community
