In this episode of Call to the Bullpen, Clint Overton, Ted Stan and Jason Carvalho explore the growing role of fractional and interim executives in growth-stage companies. They discuss how experienced leaders can step in to execute strategic priorities, stabilize operations, and simultaneously develop internal talent to eventually assume leadership roles—without the long-term cost and rigidity of a full-time hire.

From over-promotion pitfalls to under-hiring misfires, the hosts unpack real-world examples—including a $120M company transformation—where the bullpen model delivered both near-term impact and long-term leadership development. They also explain how their model supports VC and PE-backed firms that don’t have a deep bench of operating partners on call.

Whether you're a founder scaling fast, a PE investor balancing costs, or a CEO rethinking your leadership team, this episode breaks down when—and why—fractional leadership becomes the winning move.

Episode 2: Built in the Bullpen – The Origin Story of BoardRoomBullpen.com

In this episode of Call to the Bullpen, hosts Jason Carvalho, Clint Overton, and Ted Stann pull back the curtain on the founding of BoardRoomBullpen.com—a platform built to connect growing businesses with elite fractional executives.

You’ll hear the personal journeys that led Clint and Ted from corporate leadership into the world of fractional work, why they saw a broken market full of “single-shingle consultants,” and how they’re building a rigorous, high-trust model that’s reshaping how businesses scale leadership.

We also explore:

• Why “Call to the Bullpen” perfectly captures today’s need for agile, high-impact talent
• The six key roles most essential to scaling a modern business
• Why not all fractionals are created equal—and how to avoid costly mistakes
• How offline and family-owned businesses can embrace strategic transformation without the overhead of full-time C-suite hires
• Why BoardRoomBullpen.com is not a placement firm or talent marketplace—and why that matters
