This is an Open Coffee for Fractionals session — part of my coaching practice.
Noel Putaansuu joined this session just before heading into a job interview. We compared buying a business versus getting a job, and dug into what it means to keep the lights on while still trying to build something bigger.
We talked about the lag on publishing Open Coffee episodes, batching content, and why LinkedIn Live isn’t worth the headache. Noel walked through his clean energy project, SAFE notes, and the search for a lead investor. We ended up in DevOps land: on-call culture, cowboy fixes, hero syndrome, and the strange red flags that show up in interviews.
We got into:
No slides. No pitches. No agenda. Just honest conversation.
