What if client referrals could be a predictable way to grow a solopreneur business?
In this episode, Matt Haney sits down with Kirk Coburn, the pioneer who coined the fractional executive model and founded Chief Outsiders. Kirk shares how solopreneurs can build a referral engine, avoid the trap of culture debt, and make tough operational calls when facing burnout. If you are ready to scale your single-operator practice or break free from operational paralysis, tune in. In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why treating referrals as a science is the true engine for solopreneur growth
- How coining the fractional model led to founding Chief Outsiders in 2007
- How giving in to board pressure on a CTO hire created lasting culture debt
- Why traditional EOS tools fail solopreneurs without a custom system for one
- The blunt advice from Jason Lippman that breaks paralysis on hard decisions
