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.Also covered: the ego traps in CTO sales fractional DevOps as both emergency patch and long-term solution why advisory work is about being the outside voice — not the fixer the invisible buyer: why HR, COO, and CFOs might be better entry points than CTOs📅 Recorded June 2, 2025🎙️ Hosted by David RaistrickJoin a future session | Explore the For Fractionals community
