• "It's not about hiding and it's not about not showing your full potential. It's about actually talking to people that have the problems that you understand."
• "People are hiring fractionals because they are specialists with experience that are able to come on board and quickly get outcomes that are needed."
• "If you don't niche down, the reality is that your message becomes incredibly muddy. And instead of talking to one person about one problem, you end up talking to nobody."
