Why does Band of Misfits® exist?
The most experienced professionals didn’t step away. They stepped out.
Into fractional roles. Independent work. Portfolio careers.
Band of Misfits is for those building what comes next.
Independent experts: on their own terms.
Hello, Misfit. I’m Stephen.
If you’re here, something in your career is probably shifting. Maybe you’ve gone independent. Maybe you’re thinking about it. Or maybe you just know the traditional path no longer fits.
After decades working in marketing, strategy, and growth, I kept seeing the same pattern: the most capable people weren’t slowing down. They were stepping out on their own and building work around their expertise.
Band of Misfits exists for people navigating that transition together.
Welcome. You’re in the right room.
