In this live Q&A episode, Casey answers real questions from people building fractional CMO practices—some just getting started, others already charging $30K/month. The group digs into team structure, niche selection, pricing, dealing with messy client situations, and what it actually takes to transition from implementation work to strategic leadership. This isn't theory. These are the tactical questions people ask when they're in the trenches: How do I find good talent? What if the client's team sucks? Can I really charge $10K without a CMO title? Casey brings the same direct, no-BS energy—fire people when you need to, stop giving away strategy, and become the person clients actually want.

Key Topics Covered:

-Clients pay for implementation teams exclusively

-Choose an industry niche you actually want to work in

-You don't need perfect credentials to start landing clients

-Implementation work is the kid's table with no upside

-Fire inadequate team members and build a skunk works

-Quality hiring requires making candidates jump through hoops

-Real relationships beat AI-powered outreach

-Agency owners can charge for strategy and implementation separately​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
