Hey there, I’m Derek Fredrickson, and I am thrilled to share some exciting news with you. I am launching my very own podcast. That’s right, the COO Solution Podcast. And I couldn’t be more excited and ready for this journey.
The mission of the COO Solution Podcast is pretty simple. It’s to help business owners and visionary entrepreneurs like you who might be listening to help you scale smarter, lead better, and create a business that you truly love.
So you might be asking why this podcast, Derek? Well, listen, over the last 16 years, I’ve worked as a fractional COO or a chief operating officer or second in command or an integrator partnering partnering with visionary founders and COOs to build trust, align their teams and transform their operations. And with this podcast, I’m bringing those strategies, systems and solutions directly to you.
Now you might wonder, Derek, what makes this podcast different? Well, that’s a great question.
when I was thinking about launching this podcast, I wanted it to be different. I wanted it to be real and hands on. That’s just the way that I am. It’s how I do what I do. And so I’m going to take you behind the scenes of scaling businesses from overcoming bottlenecks to building team accountability and creating systems that work. You’re going to hear some real world insights from my work with clients, the work that our team does with visionary clients.
Strategies that deliver results, real results, and tactical advice that you can immediately put into action.
So here’s how it’s going to work. Some days we’ll tackle team dynamics, how to align your team, create trust, and empower them to take ownership. On other days we’ll dive into the operational challenges that keep you stuck or explore proven strategies that help you scale your business.
Occasionally, I’ll share personal stories about being a trusted second in command and how the right support can lead and change everything for a business owner like you. We’ll talk about things like accountability and systems and structure and right person, right seat, breaking through the glass ceiling of complexity. Every episode will leave you with actionable takeaways to grow your business .create clarity and build momentum.
