Episode Summary Fractional roles seem to be growing in scope, including in Public Relations. Over the years, we have seen our fair share of creative titles, but does the Fractional title in Communication roles have longevity? In today's episode, we take an honest look at the fractional title, extract what's actually useful, and give solo PR practitioners a real framework for deciding whether fractional positioning is a fit for them, or whether it's a fashionable label with a new set of obligations attached. The hosts discuss the rate data for fractional roles and adoption projections for midsize companies.   Episode Highlights [00:18] Should I adopt the Fractional Title?: Michelle opens before the music: if she put fractional communications director on her website tomorrow, would she be sounding as senior as she actually is — or cosplaying a Silicon Valley CMO? Karen loves the question. It names exactly the tension the episode is built around: the fractional label is real and valuable in the right context, and it is also getting slapped on LinkedIn profiles by people who have changed nothing about how they actually work. Karen and Michelle are committed to examining both sides honestly. [02:52] The Rate Data: What Go Fractional's 2026 Benchmarks Actually Show: Go Fractional, a marketplace that publishes its own rate benchmarks by role, shows the fractional director of public relations averaging $203 an hour in 2026, with typical engagements running around 32 hours a week. Karen and Michelle both flag what 32 hours means in solo practice terms: that is essentially all of your billable time for one client. There would be no room for additional work. For broader fractional CMO engagements, monthly retainers commonly run $8,000 to $22,000, with day rates in the $1,500 to $3,500 range and hourly rates around $200 to $350. Karen's bottom line: most solo PR pros are already undercharging. The gap between what solos currently charge and what the fractional rate range represents is a real income conversation, not just a semantic one. [06:43] The Adoption Reality: Who Is Actually Buying This: Gartner projected that more than 30% of midsize enterprises will keep at least one fractional executive on retainer by 2027. Karen's honest read: 30% is a meaningful number, but it requires understanding which markets and industries you actually serve. She cautions against chasing the label without first asking whether your specific clients in your specific verticals are operating in the kinds of environments where fractional executive models are being adopted. She also notes an important structural difference: fractional engagements are typically time-bound, one to two years, sometimes as short as six months, while many solo PR practitioners maintain client relationships of five, ten, fifteen years or more. That shift in tenure expectations is not a footnote. It changes the business model. [09:44] Objection 1: This Is Just a Trendy Label for Freelancer: Karen names the objection directly: fractional is real. There are fractional CEOs, fractional CFOs, fractional CMOs and it emerged from a genuine market need. Companies wanted senior executive function without a permanent hire, particularly high-growth startups scaling toward a defined goal. The problem is that the label has been diluted by people applying it to what they were already doing. Karen's line: it has to be more than a label. It has to be a real change in how you scope work, structure your time, and price your value. If it's just a rebrand of what you're already doing, it will not hold up to a client's scrutiny. [11:08] Objection 2: I Don't Have C-Suite Adjacent Experience: Michelle raises the credibility question: what if you don't have 15-plus years or a director-level background? Can you credibly claim a fractional director title? Karen's answer is yes, with honesty about what you bring. She draws on the Dolly Parton example from a recent piece she'd read: when Barbara Walters made a condescending comment, Dolly didn't get defensive. She owned the narrative and redirected it. Karen's parallel for practitioners: if a client challenges your seniority, you don't deny the gap,  you own what you do bring and redirect toward the specific value that makes you the right person for this engagement. Karen also flags what the Solo PR Pro community data shows, many solos left corporate America holding director-level titles. The experience is often already there; the confidence to claim it is the gap. [13:28] Objection 3: Clients Will Expect Fixed Weekly Hours I Can't Sustain: This is the structural objection, and Karen says it's the most valid one. Fractional positioning is not a marketing decision; it's an organizational one. It assumes fewer clients getting more defined hours each, not the same scattered client load with a prettier name on top. That is a genuine shift in how you run your business. Karen's reframe: for practitioners who want built-in natural breaks, the project-based nature of fractional work is actually an opportunity. You do a high-value six-month engagement, step back, take time, then pick up the next one. But you have to be genuinely ready to operate that way, not just willing to say you will. [16:00] Objection 4: What If a Client Asks What Makes Me Different: The quiet objection: if a prospective client pushes back and asks what actually distinguishes you from any other consultant and you don't have a real answer beyond the title, you have a problem. Karen and Michelle are both direct: if you're going to name it, you have to be ready to back it up. Fractional is not a word that does the positioning work for you. You still have to know what you specifically bring, who specifically you serve, and what result you specifically deliver. The label focuses the conversation. You still have to win it. [17:09] The Three-Question Filter for Self-Assessment: Karen's three questions for any solo practitioner genuinely weighing this decision. One: can you honestly commit a defined chunk of weekly hours — ten, twenty, or even thirty-two — to a small number of clients rather than juggling many smaller ones? This is a capacity question, not an aspiration question. Two: have you operated at a senior strategic level where you own the outcomes rather than execute tasks someone else scoped? Be honest about what senior strategic responsibility has actually looked like in your experience. Three: does the pricing range work for the size of client you're actually targeting? The $8,000 to $22,000 monthly range requires clients with budgets to match. If you primarily serve small local businesses or early-stage startups on tighter budgets, fractional may be aspirational for a future client base rather than a realistic current pivot. [19:10] The Live Drill: Six Years of Healthcare Comms, Eighteen Months Solo: Michelle walks a hypothetical: a practitioner with six years running healthcare comms in-house, now eighteen months into solo practice, currently juggling five smaller retained clients at different rates. Karen runs the filter. On capacity: consolidating from five scattered clients to two or three larger, more defined engagements is a real structural shift, and the right question is whether the listener can genuinely commit to that model. On experience: six years running healthcare comms in-house is exactly the kind of background that supports a director-level fractional claim credibly. On pricing: if even two or three of those five current clients are midsize or larger organizations, there may be a direct pathway to repricing existing relationships at fractional rates. If the current client base skews toward small local clients on tight budgets, the fractional pivot is a longer play toward a different client type. [22:21] Why This Is a Positioning Decision, Not Just a Label Decision: Karen closes on the point the whole episode has been building toward: how you describe your own work shapes what you are allowed to charge for it. Most solo PR pros are already undercharging, not because the market won't bear higher rates, but out of habit and out of fear. The fractional conversation, done honestly, forces a real examination of capacity, value, and pricing that most solos avoid. Even for practitioners who ultimately decide the fractional model isn't the right fit, that conversation has value. Karen is transparent about herself: the corporateness of fractional work, the reporting structures, the Slack pings, the internal politics is not where she wants to be. That's also a real answer, and it's the kind of honest self-assessment the episode is asking every listener to do.

Send us Fan MailIn this epsode we will listen tot he one full length interview Bob Packwood gave reporter Barbara Walters about midway through the ordeal that would consume thirty-three months in total before it toppled his career. It is an in-depth interview an examination of the scandal and it does leave you with lingering questions about the entire ordeal that I think still echo through time all of these years later. The accusations were, in all but one case, decades old. the accusations about his diaries and him looking for jobs for his now ex-wife, all seems to be a little bit without merit. Was Bob Packwood about to pay the ultimate price to atone for the sins of the senate and powerful men for decades. Was the process fair?  Or was the case just that overwhelming. My own opinion is it was a little of both, but we will let you decide as you hear it all unfold over the next several episodes.  Questions or comments at  , Randalrgw1@aol.com ,  https://twitter.com/randal_wallace   , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Guest Name, Erin Saxton, Emmy-nominated TV producer and PR and Media expert of The Erin Network. She candidly shares how lifelong self-discovery, resilience, and curiosity have shaped her story, offering practical lessons on valuing yourself and finding purpose through life's challenges. In today's episode, we discuss: Audit the influences in your upbringing. Notice which family members shaped your habits and values, both the qualities you wanted to emulate and those you didn't. Use this pattern recognition to build intentional behaviors in your own life, learning from their successes and missteps so you can consciously choose what to pass on or set aside. Challenge limiting beliefs about self-worth. Recognize where early experiences, like being judged for your appearance, may have shaped your self-image. By bringing these narratives to the surface, you can break free from their grip and learn to value yourself beyond external validation, allowing for greater confidence in all facets of life. Transform challenges into motivation. When faced with setbacks or fears, treat them as personal dares to grow. This mindset reframes difficult experiences into purposeful action, inspiring resilience and driving you to break through barriers rather than remain stuck. Find the angle that makes your story stand out. If you want to get noticed—whether in business or life—don't just follow the crowd. Shift your perspective ever slightly to uncover what makes you unique. This "one degree" of difference is what creates opportunities, gets you seen, and ensures you're not lost in a sea of sameness. Keep moving forward, no matter what. Embrace resilience as a daily mantra: even on tough days, prioritize action over inertia. This practice maintains momentum, builds emotional strength, and models for others that persistence is often the key differentiator in long-term success.   Guest Bio: Erin Saxton is a four-time Emmy-nominated television producer, PR strategist, and founder of eleven Communications, The Erin Network, and Erin on Demand.

After proposing illegal schemes and learning the difference between Joan Rivers and Barbara Walters, we open our digital mouths and try to understand the psyche of the store with its loyalty programs, discounts and impulse buys before some truly disturbing Spilled Mail leaves us with spurting centers and orange scabs.   Episode 462: Dream Grocery Store Alex Mayyasi Planet Money: A Guide to Economic Forces that Shape Your Life Gastro Obscura Gastronomics podcast Planet Money Podcast The Curious Cult of Aldi on Bloomberg Matthew's Now but Wow! - Even the Good Girls Will Cry by Melissa Auf der Maur Support Spilled Milk Podcast!Molly's SubstackMatthew's Bands: Early to the Airport and Twilight DinersProducer Abby's WebsiteListen to our spinoff show Dire DesiresJoin our reddit Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This was one of our most listened-to conversations of the past year. If you missed it the first time, here's your second chance. She moderated the fly debate. She interviewed Stephen Hawking. She covered 12 presidential campaigns and sat down with the last 10 presidents. And she spent years inside Queen Elizabeth's extraordinary vantage point on American democracy — one that no American journalist could ever fully replicate. Two minutes. Real impact. Leave a review: lovethepodcast.com/politicsandreligion Susan Page, Washington Bureau Chief of USA TODAY, joins Corey to discuss her latest book, The Queen and Her Presidents: a sweeping account of Queen Elizabeth II's relationships with every American president from Truman to Biden. But this conversation goes well beyond the book. Susan reflects on a career that began in a converted car dealership on Long Island, the lessons she learned covering her first president (and how badly she blew it), what it really takes to develop sources across decades of political reporting, and why — from a Kansas girl's perspective — the people on both sides of our divide love America more than we give them credit for.

But the goal is to inform the conversation, not control it. The worst thing an interviewer can do, she says, is fail to listen to the answer. Great sourcing is built on respect and fairness, not on pulling punches. Rich Bond, the young Long Island operative she profiled in 1979, became a top Republican official and a reliable source for decades — not because she went easy on him, but because he trusted her to be fair. She would not have softened a story about him, and he knew it. Books and daily journalism use the same muscle, differently. The skills transfer directly — the sourcing, the curiosity, the nose for a good detail — but the bar is higher and the time horizon is longer. Writing a book means people are paying thirty dollars and spending real time. You owe them something they couldn't get from clicking a link. The best research rewards patience. Sifting through archival files at eight presidential libraries and the National Archives in Britain yielded moments that almost nobody else has read. The sarcastic cables British ambassadors sent back about LBJ as vice president confirmed everything LBJ already suspected they thought of him. They love America. Whether she's at a No Kings rally or a MAGA rally, Susan hears the same thing: people who care deeply, who revere the Constitution, who think they're fighting for the country. The polarization isn't about love of country — it's about a failure to extend basic respect across the divide. Queen Elizabeth perfected the art of getting people to talk. Her small talk strategy — chatter briefly, then turn the question back — was especially effective with men, who, as Susan notes diplomatically, tend to enjoy talking about themselves. Susan has consciously adopted the technique and credits it with making her better at navigating rooms full of strangers.

This week, the ladies break down the Summer House Reunion Part 3, and somehow we walked away from 12 hours of couch-sitting knowing… absolutely nothing: Amanda and West's chemistry-free, remorse-free press conference of a relationship, the lack of accountability that had Andy practically begging for a heartfelt moment, and Kyle's shocking redemption arc. Plus, is Amanda actually a blank slate? Why does Wes look like a five-year-old with dangly feet? And what was she on? We're also crowning Lindsay Hubbard the next host of WWHL, stanning Mia's Barbara Walters energy, theorizing about who's secretly hooking up next season, and unpacking the Sabrina single-white-female milkmaid dress conspiracy. And of course, the Jennifer Lawrence / Reddit / air conditioner mystery that cracked the case wide open.We have deals for YOU!Nutrafol: Got thinning hair?

The day has finally come. The Micropenis Episode is officially here. In what can only be described as groundbreaking investigative journalism, we're spreading MPA (Micropenis Awareness) one listener at a time. Move over Barbara Walters. Joining us is our caller, Micropenis Nate, who shares what life is really like living with a microphallus. And before anyone feels bad laughing… Nate would be disappointed if you didn't.

This week, Brett is back for a bonus episode and we are getting into "Famesick", Lena Dunham's new memoir about illness, ambition, Hollywood, and whether any of it was worth it. Brett isn't just any reader here — she worked closely with Lena during the Girls era at United Talent Agency, which means this conversation comes with some serious behind-the-scenes context that you are not going to get anywhere else.We break down what the book actually delivers versus what it promises: the health journey, the name dropping, the rise-to-fame years, the rehab chapters, the wildest dedication page we have ever read, and the moment with Barbara Walters that has been making the rounds for good reason. We also get into what the memoir conspicuously leaves out — her friendship with Taylor Swift, the wording of the November 17th statement — and why those omissions say just as much as what she chose to include.The big question we keep coming back to: is "Famesick" a genuine reckoning, or is it a very calculated, self-serving reframe of a career and a public image? If you loved Girls, hated Girls, or have ever had a complicated relationship with a woman who is clearly brilliant... but also kind of a lot — this episode is for you.Thank you so much for supporting the show!Xx, Alex Hosted on Acast.

Deshaun Watson being QB1 in Cleveland is starting to become the consensus opinion in the football streets. Aside from Victor Wembenyama and Shohei Ohtani, who are the biggest draws in sports? And we receive yet another bit of dating advice from Paul Pierce in Tell the Truth.

This week we have a true crime story for you. I don't want to give away too much here in the notes. But Dorothy Kilgallen was the Oprah or Barbara Walters of her time (the 40s, 50s & 60s)…and most of us have never heard of her. She was erased. Why? Dun-dun-dun… This story is wild!

Smith's siding with Trump's decision to strike Iran after Democrats have discussed what a threat Iran was for years; Scott Jennings calmly explaining to CNN's Jake Tapper how Democrats bringing hammer and sickle and Hamas flags to the No Kings protest is showing how far the Democratic Party has gone in a radical direction; JD Vance confirming to Benny Johnson that Ilhan Omar is being investigated for immigration fraud; "Shark Tank's" Kevin O'Leary telling the hosts of the "Iced Coffee Hour" how billionaires like Elon Musk would really respond to a billionaire wealth tax that punished his success; and much more.

This week's throwback guest is Cal Fussman. This was a very special interview for me, because Cal is one of the major reasons why I started podcasting in the first place.

He also traveled around the world for 10 years straight after booking a 1 way ticket to start a trip.

The former 'View' co-host of 10 years sits down with executive producer Brian Teta as she returns to guest co-host 'The View.' She shares why being back at the table “feels like a family visit” and reflects on how the show—and the world around it—has changed since her earlier years. Elisabeth talks about the friendships she still cherishes with Whoopi and Joy, and reflects on the headlines from her first few days at the table. She looks back on the moments that defined her time on 'The View' and opens up about why she loves debating with the women at the table. Elisabeth also revisits the surprising way she ended up on 'Survivor,' how the experience unexpectedly prepared her for daytime TV, and whether she's ever been asked to return to the series. Finally, she reflects on the impact Barbara Walters had on her career and how Barbara pushed her to be great. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In August 1989, José, 45, and Kitty Menendez, 47, were shot to death in their Beverly Hills home. Their sons, Lyle, 18, and Erik, 21, would later confess to the killings—setting off one of the most polarizing murder trials in American history. What initially looked like a mob-style hit unraveled into a story of family control, extreme dysfunction, and disturbing allegations of long-term sexual abuse. The trials exposed the private life of a wealthy, image-driven family and forced the public to confront uncomfortable questions about trauma, masculinity, and male child sexual abuse.Today's snack: Buc-ee's Ghost Pepper Salsa and Pecan Trio (thanks Alicia!)Listen to all three parts today on Patreon: https://patreon.com/LoveMarryKillSources:https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/722-N-Elm-Dr-Beverly-Hills-CA-90210/20519601_zpid/?
