From poker player to product builder to founder of FractionalJobs.io, Taylor Crane has bet big on the future of work — and it’s not full-time.

In this episode, Nicole McNamara and Sam Tortora sit down with Taylor to unpack what fractional work really means, why startups are embracing it, and how professionals can build thriving portfolio careers on their own terms.

They dig into the flexibility, freedom, and real-world challenges behind the movement — from retainer-based pay to health insurance gaps — and why, as Taylor puts it, “fractional isn’t easier, it’s just smarter.”

If you’ve ever wondered how to break into fractional work or hire top talent without full-time overhead, this conversation is your playbook for the new labor economy.

• The difference between fractional and freelance

• The demand for expert-level, part-time roles
