Your Experience is Expiring

Are you actually worth what you're getting paid? It's a question most senior marketers never ask themselves honestly, and the answer is getting harder to dodge as the tools, the tactics, and the competition all shift beneath your feet. This episode opens with a provocation aimed squarely at the folks making $200K, $300K, $400K a year, and asks whether the experience behind that number is still current or quietly rotting on the shelf. What gets unpacked is the real pressure fractional CMOs are about to face from younger, faster competitors who have less experience but more agility, and why a broad resume is becoming a liability instead of an asset. The argument lands in an unexpected place: the path forward isn't learning more, it's learning less, better, and in a much tighter niche.
