In this episode of The Fractional CMO Show, Casey Stanton lays down a wake-up call for marketers entering 2026. He explores the biggest trends reshaping the industry—from the over-adoption of AI and reliance on “black box” tools, to the fast-fashion era of SaaS and the rise of fractional leadership. Casey warns against outsourcing your thinking to AI, chasing shortcuts, or splitting your focus between a job hunt and fractional work. Instead, he challenges you to commit, pick a niche, and start talking to strangers—because the money you want is in their pockets. You'll hear why Q4 is the most important time to build momentum, how to avoid undervaluing your expertise, and why the best fractional CMOs stop chasing “one trick” solutions and instead build real businesses through grit, clarity, and conviction.   Key Topics Covered: - The hidden dangers of over-adopting AI in marketing and strategy - Why “black box” tools can erode your fundamentals - The fast-fashion SaaS trend—and why most of it is “beautiful garbage” - The rise of fractional roles across the C-suite - Why consultants fade but fractional CMOs stick - What you must ignore in 2026: seasonality, job reports, and reputation-killing AI shortcuts -The power of niches and why they make you unforgettable - Why all the money you want is in strangers' pockets—and how to go get it

https://jo.my/0v1yui Heat Stress, Hydration & Working Outdoors: Recognizing Heat-Related Illnesses Working in high temperatures can be dangerous. Heat stress isn't just an outdoor problem. It can also happen inside a warehouse, especially when ventilation is poor or equipment generates excessive heat. Heat-related illnesses can escalate fast, so recognizing the signs and acting quickly is critical. One of the top priorities of a solid Safety Culture is keeping everyone healthy and alert in hot conditions. That starts with understanding what heat stress looks like and how to prevent it. Whether you're on the loading dock or deep inside storage areas, hydration and awareness can save lives. Here are a few tips to assist you with recognizing heat-related illnesses: Watch for Early Symptoms Dizziness, fatigue, and muscle cramps are often early signs of heat stress. If you notice these in yourself or someone else, act immediately. Know the Difference Between Heat Exhaustion and Heat Stroke Heat exhaustion often includes heavy sweating, nausea, and weakness. Heat stroke is far more severe. It can cause confusion, fainting, or seizures. Heat stroke is a medical emergency and needs immediate attention. Respond Quickly to Emergencies If someone shows signs of heatstroke, call emergency services immediately. Move them to a cool area. Remove extra clothing and use cool water or wet cloths to lower their body temperature. Monitor Yourself and Your Team Check in with coworkers throughout the shift. People often push through discomfort, which can be dangerous in the heat. A quick check can prevent a serious incident. Stay Ahead of Dehydration Drink water often, not just when you feel thirsty. Encourage others to do the same. Avoid energy drinks and soda, as they can increase the risk of dehydration. Heat-related illnesses don't happen instantly. They build up as the body struggles to regulate its temperature. That's why prevention and awareness are so important. Make it part of your routine to monitor facility temperatures, provide cool or shaded rest areas, and remind everyone to hydrate. By spotting the warning signs early and acting promptly, you can prevent minor problems from escalating into emergencies. Safety is a team effort, and that includes protecting one another from heat stress throughout the entire warehouse. Thank you for joining us for another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips. Until we meet next time - have a great week, and STAY SAFE! #Safety #SafetyFIRST #SafetyALWAYS #StaySafe #SafetyCulture #HeatStressPrevention #StayHydrated #WorkplaceSafety #HeatIllnessAwareness #SummerSafety

In this episode of The Fractional CMO Show, Casey Stanton tackles a topic many seasoned marketers quietly struggle with: ageism. If you've ever felt overlooked because of your experience—or the price tag that comes with it—this is your wake-up call. Casey pulls back the curtain on the harsh truth: hiring managers often favor younger, cheaper candidates, not because they're better—but because they're “good enough” for less. But instead of shrinking in the face of this reality, Casey lays out a bold alternative: go fractional, go premium, and leverage your decades of experience to deliver speed, confidence, and unmatched results. You'll learn why chasing full-time roles might be a losing game, how to enroll others into your mission, and how to position your expertise as a fast track to ROI. This isn't about proving your worth—it's about owning it. Whether you're feeling stuck, frustrated, or just ready to punch up, this episode will light a fire under you. The game is rigged—but you don't have to play it. Key Topics Covered: Why ageism in hiring is real—and what to do about it -The myth of “earning your way back in” vs. going fractional -Why companies will pay more for speed (and confidence) -The power of enrollment: how to get others onboard with your vision -How to confidently position yourself as the experienced shortcut -Why talking to strangers unlocks exponential opportunity -Simplifying your story and speaking in the language of ROI and EBITDA -Structuring deals with upside—including equity in the exit -The path from unemployed to unstoppable (and earning $10K+/month) -Building the life you actually want—on your terms

Table of Contents The Power of Community Connections Building a Creative Career: Lessons from “The Rock Father” Navigating the Toy Industry: Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities Balancing Digital and Physical Play for Kids Giving Back: Leveraging Your Platform for Community Good Celebrating Grayslake: Local Favorites and Family Life Actionable Takeaways for Listeners 1. The Power of Community Connections  Key Insight:   Even in a small town, it's easy to miss out on knowing everyone. But the magic of Grayslake lies in the connections you make—whether at the farmers market, a local restaurant, or through shared community projects. Actionable Advice: Attend Local Events:**     James and David both highlight the importance of participating in community events like the farmers market, holiday tree lighting, and pride parade. These gatherings are not just fun—they're opportunities to meet neighbors, support local businesses, and build lasting relationships. Join Local Organizations:**     Bill Mack's mention of the Grayslake Chamber of Commerce underscores the value of joining local groups. Membership offers networking, support, and a platform to amplify your business or cause. Support Local Businesses:**     Frequenting spots like Cinco Hermanos, Bake Share, Tony's Butcher Shop, and Andy's Records not only enriches your own experience but strengthens the local economy. Expert Tip:   If you're new to town or looking to expand your network, start by volunteering at community events or joining a committee. You'll quickly find your place in the fabric of Grayslake. 2. Building a Creative Career: Lessons from “The Rock Father”  Key Insight:   James's journey from a young writer in the Chicago suburbs to a leading voice in the toy industry is a testament to perseverance, adaptability, and the courage to take risks. Actionable Advice: Embrace Your Passions Early:**     James's first writing award in 1987 set the stage for a lifetime of storytelling. Don't underestimate the power of early interests—they can shape your career trajectory. Diversify Your Skills:**     From cable access TV in high school to interviewing major bands and working in retail, James's varied experiences gave him a broad skill set. Be open to learning in unexpected places. Take Calculated Risks:**     Leaving established companies to start his own platform was a leap of faith. While not every risk pays off, each one offers valuable lessons and new opportunities. Learn from Failure:**     James is candid about setbacks, emphasizing that failures are stepping stones to growth. Reflect on what didn't work, adjust your approach, and keep moving forward. Expert Tip:   Document your journey—whether through blogging, social media, or a personal journal. Not only does this help you track progress, but it can also inspire others and open doors to new collaborations. 3. Navigating the Toy Industry: Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities  Key Insight:   The toy industry is a microcosm of global trends—shaped by manufacturing shifts, tariffs, technological innovation, and changing play patterns. Actionable Advice: Understand the Manufacturing Landscape:**     Most iconic toys have always been made overseas (e.g., Barbie in Japan, G.I. Joe in Hong Kong/Vietnam, Hot Wheels in Malaysia).   Offshoring since the 1970s means U.S. manufacturing infrastructure is limited; reshoring requires massive investment and time. Monitor Tariff Impacts:**     Current tariffs on Chinese imports are around 30%, affecting prices for both businesses and consumers.   Small business owners often absorb these costs, but ultimately, higher prices reach the end user. Stay Ahead of Technology:**     AI and digital integration are reshaping toys (e.g., Mattel's partnership with OpenAI).   Not all tech-enabled toys succeed—2023 saw several underperforming launches, showing the need for thoughtful innovation. Engage with Industry Resources:**     Publications like The Toy Book (trade-focused) and The Toy Insider (consumer-focused) offer valuable insights, gift guides, and trend analysis. Expert Tip:   If you're a business owner or creative in the toy space, attend trade shows (like Toy Fair or Comic-Con) to network, spot trends, and build relationships with industry leaders. 4. Balancing Digital and Physical Play for Kids  Key Insight:   Children's play is evolving, with digital experiences increasingly competing with traditional toys. The challenge—and opportunity—is to find a healthy balance. Actionable Advice: Encourage Hybrid Play:**     Look for toys that merge physical and digital elements, such as those that interact with platforms like Roblox or offer augmented reality features. Be Mindful of Screen Time:**     James advocates for a measured approach—introduce technology thoughtfully and ensure kids have plenty of hands-on, imaginative play. Evaluate Play Value:**     When choosing toys, consider not just the initial excitement but the potential for long-term engagement and developmental benefits. Expert Tip:   Use resources like The Toy Insider's website to filter toys by play duration and developmental focus, helping you make informed choices for your family. 5. Giving Back: Leveraging Your Platform for Community Good  Key Insight:   True community spirit means using your resources and connections to lift others up—especially those in need. Actionable Advice: Partner with Local Organizations:**     James's work with Avon Township to provide holiday gifts for families in need is a model for impactful giving. Find local groups that align with your values and offer your support. Leverage Industry Connections:**     If you have access to products, services, or expertise, consider how you can channel these to benefit local schools, community centers, or families. Be Proactive:**     Don't wait for the holidays—needs exist year-round. Reach out to community leaders to identify ongoing opportunities to help. Expert Tip:   If you're in Grayslake and need toys or support for a community project, don't hesitate to contact James or similar local advocates. Building a network of helpers multiplies your impact. 6. Celebrating Grayslake: Local Favorites and Family Life  Key Insight:   Grayslake's charm lies in its blend of small-town warmth, diverse events, and family-friendly amenities. Actionable Advice: Explore Local Events:**     From the farmers market to Central Park concerts and the holiday tree lighting, there's always something happening. Make it a family tradition to attend together. Support Local Dining:**     Favorites like First Draft, Sammy's, Cinco Hermanos, and Bake Share offer not just great food but a sense of belonging. Get Involved in the Arts:**     With opportunities for kids in theater, dance, and music, Grayslake nurtures creativity at every age. Expert Tip:   If you're new to town, ask neighbors or local business owners for their favorite spots and events. You'll quickly feel at home. 7. Actionable Takeaways for Listeners  Network Locally:**     Attend events, join organizations, and support local businesses to build meaningful connections. Pursue Your Passions:**     Don't be afraid to take risks, diversify your skills, and learn from setbacks. Stay Informed:**     Use industry resources to keep up with trends, especially if you're in a fast-changing field like toys or media. Balance Technology:**     Encourage both digital and physical play for kids, and be mindful of screen time. Give Back:**     Use your platform, however big or small, to support those in need in your community. Celebrate Your Hometown:**     Embrace the unique events, businesses, and people that make your town special.
