A proposito di questo titolo

The corporate game is rigged against executives over 40. Unrigged is how you get out.


I'm Kirk Coburn. I created the Fractional CMO category 15+ years ago and built a firm that's placed 2,000+ executives. Now I teach the system — so you can own the playbook, keep 100%, and stop asking permission from HR departments that already decided you don't fit.


This show is for corporate refugees ready to stop playing a losing game:

• The data on why traditional job searching is broken

• The fractional executive bypass (how to talk to founders, not HR)

• Process, not motivation — the stuff that actually works

• Real numbers, real stories, no corporate theater


New episodes weekly.

  • 001: You're Not Getting Another Corporate Job (The Data & The Bypass)
    Jan 27 2026

    60% of executives over 50 experience age discrimination in hiring. The system is rigged — but there's a bypass.

    HR filters you out. Founders don't. That's the whole game.

    In this episode:

    • The LinkedIn/AARP data on age discrimination (it's worse than you think)

    • Why HR is incentivized to filter you out — and it's not personal

    • The fractional executive bypass: Talk to founders, not recruiters

    • "Qualify hard, close soft" — the framework that actually works

    • The David story: What founders really need (hint: it's not dashboards)

    • Your first move this week — 3 companies, 3 problems, 0 applications

    Key insight: HR filters you out. Founders don't.

    Your experience isn't a liability. It's the product.
