What if the fastest way to fill your practice isn’t chasing clients but building a community that pulls them to you?

In this episode, Cam sits down with Forrest Derr, known as “The Fractionator,” to explore how he built a full fractional COO practice in record time. Forrest shares his journey from EOS Integrator to launching his own business, and how a clear vision paired with a simple, focused offering helped him stand out in a crowded market. They unpack the power of community-led growth through local EOS groups, why leading with a help-first mindset creates exponential returns, and how positioning yourself to work yourself out of a job can actually accelerate trust and demand. Forrest also breaks down his approach to business development, including content pillars, storytelling, and staying top of mind without chasing every tactic.
