Indie-Fatigable is a term I use to describe the indefatigable mindset independent small business owners need during slower seasons. It’s is about staying steady, visible, and mentally engaged even when momentum feels muted. substack.com/home/post/p-... #marketingsky

Here's what separates academic entrepreneurs from everyone else:
They don't wait for someone else to translate their work into impact.
They don't need an intermediary to explain why their research matters.
They build the damn bridge themselves.

In this week's newsletter you can expect to see the following opportunities. These are companies looking to hire fractional professionals right now!
#FounderSky
Last week I discussed, in my newsletter, how adding fractional talent beyond the c-suite can be a huge benefit for your company.

If you’re a startup looking to hire, you can’t hire someone who doesn’t have experience at a startup.
It’s too big of a risk.

In my experience working with founders over the years there are three mistakes that are made far too often.

Anti-fragile businesses grow stronger by adapting to challenges, learning from failures, and seizing opportunities others avoid.

What do other founders do on Friday nights? I am cleaning the carpet in my living room and running the key messages for @marketprovenai.bsky.social through my head over and over. Long before I added #founder to my list of titles, I was (and am) a #storyteller. #FounderSky
Been to events like this here in Iowa and they are incredible for meeting new people and building relationships.
Any Detroiters in the #FounderSky community?
I promise you, telling founders what they "should" do is annoying and condescending.
Doing so assumes you know what the founder has already tried and what did and did not work.
Instead, ask questions. Be curious.
And remember, DON'T SHOULD ON ME!
