In this excerpt, the speaker discusses the growing trend of CEOs employing fractional or outsourced leaders instead of hiring full‑time co‑founders for specialized expertise, such as finance. This model offers CEOs greater flexibility, allowing them to access high‑level skills on a part‑time basis without the long‑term commitment, extensive search, and stress associated with building a founding team. The conversation highlights how this shift changes the traditional hiring landscape for executive talent.

But what an interesting time, though. Like yourself, I also function as like an outsourced leadership for CEOs. CEOs have so much more flexibility now, whereas in the past they would have had to build their founding team if they wanted that financial expertise. Whereas now they can go out and find someone like yourself on not a full-time basis. They don't have to make this long-term commitment to you. Spend so much time going through the stress of looking for those co-founders.
