About Kirk Coburn

I'm not a guru. I'm a guy who left corporate twice and built successful businesses both times.

I co-founded Chief Outsiders (North America's largest fractional CMO firm), built the PGA TOUR Network on SiriusXM, led SURGE Ventures (60+ startup investments), and founded InspirePlay (golf lifestyle media).

I didn't succeed because of my network. I succeeded because I followed systematic processes in industries where I knew no one.

Process beats network. Every single time.

Now I'm building The ReTern to help corporate refugees (40-60) land their first fractional executive role in 90 daysβ€”then build that into a $180K-$500K+ portfolio career.
