Most small businesses collect more customer data than they realize and many don't think about privacy until something goes wrong.

In this episode, we sit down with privacy attorney and Termageddon founder Donata Stroink-Skillrud to talk about what business owners actually need to know about data privacy, why privacy policies matter, and how building trust with customers can be a competitive advantage.

Whether you're running a local business or a fast-growing startup, this conversation breaks down privacy in plain English and shares practical steps you can take today.

In this episode of Fractional Frequency, we sit down with speaker, author, leadership coach, and culture strategist Khalilah Lyons to explore the transformative journey of uncovering and prioritizing purpose.

Drawing from her book Prioritize Your Purpose, Khalilah shares powerful insights on identity, resilience, imposter syndrome, and what it means to move through life with clarity and intention. Together, we discuss the emotional cost of “B-List living,” the difference between hoping for change versus preparing for victory, and how purpose can serve as an anchor during seasons of growth and uncertainty.

This conversation offers practical wisdom and reflective takeaways for anyone seeking greater alignment, confidence, and authenticity in their personal or professional life.

AI is changing the workforce faster than most companies are willing to admit. In this episode of Fractional Frequency, Kirk Havens joins us to unpack the economic, operational, and security shifts already reshaping corporate America.

From Special Forces to leading cybersecurity at scale, Kirk brings a grounded perspective on where AI is creating real advantage, where companies are exposing themselves to risk, and why the future workforce may be smaller, faster, and fundamentally different than leaders expect.

This conversation cuts through the hype to explore power, productivity, accountability, and the hard realities emerging beneath the AI boom.

Healthcare, finance, education, hiring. AI is reshaping every system we touch. But according to Kim-Elisha Proctor, the real risk isn’t the technology itself. It’s what happens when leaders adopt it without reflection, intention, or humanity.

In this episode of Fractional Frequency, we explore Conscious AI Adaptation: a framework challenging organizations to think beyond speed, automation, and efficiency and instead ask harder questions about identity, leadership, empathy, and the future of human work.

From the hidden parallels between AI and the early social media era to the rise of new workplace hierarchies, this conversation sits at the intersection of philosophy and operational reality. We unpack what it means to “guard your humanness” in a world increasingly optimized for output and why HR leaders may be the most important voices in shaping what comes next.

This is not a conversation about fear. It’s a conversation about responsibility.

In this episode of Fractional Frequency, we’re joined by Megan Mirkes, Operations Manager of Kidz Kabaret, for a conversation on what the corporate world can learn from the arts.

Leading in creative and nonprofit environments requires a different lens. Megan shares how simple acts of gratitude, empathy, and truly understanding the experience of your team can shape stronger cultures and more resilient organizations. When resources are limited, leaders have to be intentional about how they show appreciation and create meaning in the work.

As businesses navigate tighter budgets, the nonprofit world offers an interesting blueprint. Megan talks about how organizations like Kidz Kabaret balance the books while still making people feel valued and connected to the mission. The takeaway may surprise some leaders — the things that make the biggest impact on teams aren’t always financial.

Wrapping up our month of strong female voices, we have HR leader, Erisa Ojimba.

In this episode, we sit down with Erisa and unpack the career moments, leadership influences and hard-earned lessons that shaped how she shows up today. We talk about the traps leaders fall into when they prioritize harmony over credibility and why chasing likeability can quietly limit impact and authority.

This is a candid conversation about building trust, earning respect, and leading with clarity, even when it means being uncomfortable. Because in leadership, being liked isn’t the goal. Being trusted is.

After leading HR at scale, Jenna Ferrua made a deliberate move away from the corporate model to join STRATIVIS as a Principal Consultant and Fractional CHRO.

In this episode, we unpack that decision. What she saw from inside large organizations, why she believes the future of HR is more agile and outcome-driven, and how she’s now ready to help companies solve real business challenges without the overhead.

A grounded, honest conversation on leadership, timing, and building where you can have the greatest impact.

Annual reviews, awkward conversations, delayed feedback. We’re calling it out. This episode tackles what’s wrong with performance reviews and how leaders can replace them with honest, timely conversations that actually move people forward.
