This month’s A Wee Dram is very deliberately in three parts.
Part one is me and Steve kicking things off with the news — people, planet, progress (and yes, the idea of cheese, if not the dairy itself). What’s shaping how we work, what’s changing, and what feels worth paying attention to right now.
Part two is the heart of the episode: a proper conversation with Sarah Greasley about moving into fractional life. Not the polished version — the honest one. Loss of structure. Fear. Learning. Purpose. What actually changes once the corporate noise fades.
Threaded between all three parts, and again at the end, is Anna Howie and her band, playing Start Again. Entirely unintentionally, it turned out to be the perfect reset button for a conversation about reinvention, portfolio lives, and starting again later than you planned.
Part three is me and Steve back at the bar, reflecting on what we’ve just heard — lessons learned, things we wish we’d known earlier, and a few hard truths about fractional life.
Yes, it’s stitched together.
Yes, I probably say “see you next month” more than once.
And yes — that’s kind of the point.
Careers aren’t linear anymore.
Good conversations don’t always arrive in a single arc.
If you’re working fractionally, thinking about it, or somewhere in between, there’s something in here for you.
