I am proud to announce that Aaron Martin is the first graduate of the Fractional Executive Certification Program and is now officially a Certified Fractional Executive. As a member of our founding cohort, Aaron brought thoughtful questions, extensive executive experience, and a genuine commitment to strengthening his fractional practice. Aaron is the Founder of Glass River Technologies and a Technology Clarity Advisor for growing nonprofits. He helps nonprofit leaders better understand: • What technology they currently have • Where risks and gaps may exist • Which issues deserve attention first • How technology investments can better support the organization’s mission With more than 25 years of experience as a CIO, CTO, and CISO, Aaron brings the strategic perspective of an experienced technology executive without requiring an organization to hire a full-time executive. His work begins with assessment and clarity, rather than immediately recommending new systems or solutions. From there, he helps organizations strengthen governance, identify risks, reduce complexity, and develop a practical technology roadmap. Aaron, congratulations on becoming our first Certified Fractional Executive. It has been a privilege to watch you refine your positioning, offers, proposals, and plans throughout the program. I am excited to see what comes next for you and Glass River Technologies.

Sorry if I haven't made this clear, but I give anyone who is in my networking groups and who asks 2 free sessions (hours) of my time to use on BD coaching, growth strategy, or whatever else you want! ❤️ My mission is to empower the good ones out there, and if you feel like I can add value to your world, please schedule a Zoom with me! https://calendly.com/leahyurikoyoneda/50-min-discovery-call

I have a client who wants to be on the Today show. Anyone have that area of expertise or can recommend anyone who can help her? If interested, message me directly. Thank you.

At our next member's meeting, we’re going to explore “Building Your Own Community as a Source of Income.” 👉 Prep opportunity: If you’d like to present for approximately 5 minutes during the session, here’s your challenge: Select ONE major platform (e.g. Substack, Patreon, Circle, Mighty Networks, etc.) and come ready to share: A: Platform Mechanics: 1. Costs: What are the fees/costs associated with using the platform to host a group? 2. Monetization: What are the primary ways to make money on the platform? B: Success Example: 1. Example Group: Provide one example of a successful group running on that platform. 2. Niche & Success Factors: What niche does the group serve, and why do you think it's working so well? If interesting in presenting, please add the platform of your choice in the comments below. I will be going over Skool. See you next Thursday, November 20th.

On the last call, @Leah Yoneda suggested 1:1 introductions so we can learn more about each other and how we can team up like @Steve Vetter suggested in his presentation. I think both are phenomenal ideas, so here’s my calendar link. Comment with yours and we’ll get the conversations started! https://cal.glassrivertech.com
