How Real Fractional CMOs are Getting Rich Slowly
Fractional CMO Show
Public commitment attracts opportunities: Jessie's announcement
Casey shows how Jessie publicly declaring her fractional CMO work drew qualified leads and attention on LinkedIn.
In this episode of The Fractional CMO Show, Casey Stanton breaks down what it really looks like to "get rich slowly" as a fractional CMO—and why that's a far better goal than chasing quick wins or sprinting toward burnout.
Drawing from real stories inside the Accelerator, Casey shares how members like Lisa, Ben, Sean, and Jennifer are building long-term, stable income by focusing on the fundamentals: selling high-value strategy (not cheap implementation), staying committed to a niche, and showing up with consistency and leadership—especially on their worst days.
You'll hear how to move from overworked agency life to a calm, predictable business where one or two great clients can replace an entire salary. Casey unpacks what makes a "morally neutral or positive" business, how to price your work confidently, and why the right long-term contracts can eliminate money stress altogether.
Along the way, he reminds us that freedom doesn't come from adrenaline or chasing every shiny offer—it comes from depth, focus, and relationships that compound over time.
