EPISODE 08 / BRIAN PETRO
When Experience Stops Getting Hired
Brian Petro does business development for consultants and fractional executives. Every week he talks to experienced people, many of them Gen X, who were reorganised out of a job, hear nothing back from a broken hiring system and have to learn to sell themselves.
The panel weighed networking against applications, building your own business with AI as the leverage, and the abundance mindset that makes the rejections bearable. Stephen floated an AI-run fractional firm that wins work for displaced executives.

THE INTEGRATED INTELLIGENCE SHOW / BUMPER
Same shape every week. A different problem every time.
Bring the problem
A guest brings a real problem they've been told can't be solved.
Work it live
The founders ask the questions, the audience adds ideas, and the thinking stays visible.
Make it concrete
The session lands on something you can see: a working demo, a three-minute video, or a clear next step.
Problems are opportunities in work clothes. Business is problems. The best companies are just efficient problem-solving machines.
What are you stuck on?
Tell us what you're trying to do, what you've already tried, and why somebody told you it can't be done. We'll read every submission.
Five founders. One shared problem-solving room.
