Most small businesses collect more customer data than they realize and many don't think about privacy until something goes wrong.

In this episode, we sit down with privacy attorney and Termageddon founder Donata Stroink-Skillrud to talk about what business owners actually need to know about data privacy, why privacy policies matter, and how building trust with customers can be a competitive advantage.

Whether you're running a local business or a fast-growing startup, this conversation breaks down privacy in plain English and shares practical steps you can take today.

In this episode of Fractional Frequency, we sit down with speaker, author, leadership coach, and culture strategist Khalilah Lyons to explore the transformative journey of uncovering and prioritizing purpose.

Drawing from her book Prioritize Your Purpose, Khalilah shares powerful insights on identity, resilience, imposter syndrome, and what it means to move through life with clarity and intention. Together, we discuss the emotional cost of “B-List living,” the difference between hoping for change versus preparing for victory, and how purpose can serve as an anchor during seasons of growth and uncertainty.

This conversation offers practical wisdom and reflective takeaways for anyone seeking greater alignment, confidence, and authenticity in their personal or professional life.

AI is changing the workforce faster than most companies are willing to admit. In this episode of Fractional Frequency, Kirk Havens joins us to unpack the economic, operational, and security shifts already reshaping corporate America.

From Special Forces to leading cybersecurity at scale, Kirk brings a grounded perspective on where AI is creating real advantage, where companies are exposing themselves to risk, and why the future workforce may be smaller, faster, and fundamentally different than leaders expect.

This conversation cuts through the hype to explore power, productivity, accountability, and the hard realities emerging beneath the AI boom.

Healthcare, finance, education, hiring. AI is reshaping every system we touch. But according to Kim-Elisha Proctor, the real risk isn’t the technology itself. It’s what happens when leaders adopt it without reflection, intention, or humanity.

In this episode of Fractional Frequency, we explore Conscious AI Adaptation: a framework challenging organizations to think beyond speed, automation, and efficiency and instead ask harder questions about identity, leadership, empathy, and the future of human work.

From the hidden parallels between AI and the early social media era to the rise of new workplace hierarchies, this conversation sits at the intersection of philosophy and operational reality. We unpack what it means to “guard your humanness” in a world increasingly optimized for output and why HR leaders may be the most important voices in shaping what comes next.

This is not a conversation about fear. It’s a conversation about responsibility.

AI is fundamentally changing how companies are discovered online and Jon Mest is building at the center of that shift.

In this episode, we sit down with Jon Mest, Founder and CEO of ChatRank, an AI-driven platform helping companies improve how they appear in AI-powered search results. A former Wall Street investment banker turned operator and entrepreneur, Jon brings a grounded, practical perspective to one of the biggest transformations happening in marketing and search today.

We talk about Jon’s leap from finance into entrepreneurship, the decision to bootstrap ChatRank while raising a growing family, and why building the product first for internal use shaped the company’s rapid growth trajectory. Jon also shares his philosophy on sustainable growth, long-term value creation, and why he believes the future of marketing will require a more human-led approach even in an increasingly agentic AI world.

From AI search disruption to founder conviction and modern brand strategy, this conversation explores what it really takes to build thoughtfully in a landscape changing faster than ever.

Healthcare isn’t broken, it’s just built for the wrong outcome. It’s optimized for treatment, not health.

Dr Olusegun Ishmael saw that up close as a physician and instead of working around it, he decided to rebuild it.

In this episode, we get into the real shift: from reactive, episodic care to continuous, AI-driven engagement. Not theory, actual behavior change, real patient patterns, and what it takes to keep people healthy before they hit the system.

We talk about where AI actually works in healthcare (and where it doesn’t), why patient behavior is the hardest problem in the room and what it looks like to design care that’s always on—not just when something goes wrong.

Because the future of healthcare isn’t more treatment. It’s fewer reasons to need it.

AI is everywhere.
Execution isn’t.

We sat down with Myles Harrison to talk about what works and why most companies are lighting money on fire pretending they “have an AI strategy.”

We get into:

• Why bad AI consulting feels like getting your watch stolen then sold back to you
• What has to be true before AI does anything useful
• How to build workflows that actually perform (not just look good in a deck)

And also… serious question: Has Mark Zuckerberg replaced himself with a very calm, very consistent AI agent?

If your AI isn’t driving outcomes, it’s not strategy. It’s cosplay.

NY Times featured Cara Laban sits down with us to share what it really looks like to build something from nothing and to do it on your own terms.

In this episode, we talk to Cara, a solopreneur and the founder of Travelreddi.com, a platform designed to take the stress out of international travel by curating personalized prep tasks and actions for travelers. But this isn’t just a founder story, it’s a story of evolution.

From aspiring actress to waitress, entertainer and now early-stage tech founder and author, Cara’s path is anything but linear. That’s exactly what makes it compelling. We love her and we know you will too.

In this follow-up with Mike Reading, we get real about his build journey since we last talked. Mike's now part of a founder lab, working to refine his approach to scaling {RDT} DevAI, and operating inside the pressure of building something that matters.

In this conversation we dive a little deeper and break down the art of critical thinking, why it’s a muscle, why it’s at risk and why leaders who stop training it will fall behind fast.

Because better tools don’t make better decisions. Better thinking does.

The future of talent won’t be hired. It will be built.

In this episode, we explore how TalentSquare is redefining talent acquisition, moving beyond jobs, beyond pipelines, and toward a connected ecosystem designed for speed, quality, and scale.

Brano Vargic shares the origin story, the technology behind the platform, and the leadership principles required to disrupt an industry that’s long overdue for change.

This is a conversation for operators who care about impact over effort when scaling hiring.
