    Today we're joined by Kim Minnick, Fractional People Leader, FPP Community Lead, Founder at Code Traveler HR, and Podcast host at Journey Lines. 

    In this episode, which is part 2 of our collaboration with the Fractional People People Community, we dove into the whims and woes of social media and how to create and post online with effectiveness toward building a brand. 

    We also talked about building in public, the reality of failure, and finding connection when you're struggling. 

    As a wrapup, we asked Kim to define fractional, where it's headed, how it can be used, and where it fits in the freelancer and W2 world.

    Send us Fan Mail

    Today we're joined by a special guest, Arlen Byrd. Arlen is a longtime friend and former colleague of both Lance and Joshua. We worked together at XWP and Arlen's emphasis on people first has helped have a tremendous influence on how we think.
