In this inspiring What's Your Story episode of The Way We See It, Alex reconnects with longtime friend and teammate Rodney “Rocket” Burns, whose journey stretches from chasing Big Ten football dreams to finding purpose through faith, family, and calling. Rodney shares about growing up in poverty, his time playing football and singing with the group Uptown at Evangel University, and how God redirected his life toward both a successful career in engineering and more than 25 years of ministry as a volunteer youth pastor. He opens up about walking through his son's Type 1 diabetes diagnosis, how it shifted his career toward purpose-driven healthcare work, and the life lessons that continue to shape him today. With humility and wisdom, Rodney encourages the next generation to stay disciplined, cut out the noise, and commit fully to the plan God has for their lives. #TheWayWeSeeIt #WhatsYourStory #FaithInAction #BigTenDreams #UptownSingingGroup #EngineerForChrist #YouthPastorLife #FaithfulFatherhood #PurposeDrivenLife #ChristianPodcast Alex Bryant Ministries is focused on helping people be reconciled to God, then within one's own self, and finally being reconciled to our fellow man in order to become disciples.

What does it take to build a client-centric growth engine in an industry where marketing has long been seen as a support act? Harsha Chachadi shares how FM is rewriting the rules with ABM – one account at a time.

This episode zooms in on fatherhood and godly masculinity, drawing from Man Up, A Guide to Godly Masculinity. Using a Bill Maher monologue on “trad dads” as a cultural springboard, Pastor Alex makes the case for fathers who lead with love, clarity, and authority, parents first, friends second. He unpacks practical dad principles, why “because I said so” can be appropriate at times, how to cultivate teachability and resilience, and why kids must learn it is not all about them. A Steph Curry family story illustrates consequences and commitment at home before commitments on the court. A driveway coaching moment shows how sports develop mental toughness, paying dues, and earning leadership. The charge to dads is simple: show up, speak up, invest daily in your kids' “love tank,” meet them where they are, then bring them where you are in life and faith. Moms are encouraged to release grown kids with wisdom. The goal is to raise leaders, not whiners. Call to Action: Like, subscribe, and share.

En este episodio he compartido los cuatro modelos de crecimiento en B2B: producto, ventas, marketing y cliente. Producto: funciona en fases iniciales, cuando tu solución es tan innovadora que se vende sola. Ventas: el más común, pero cada vez más limitado porque los compradores apenas pasan un 17% del proceso hablando con vendedores. Marketing: inversión a medio plazo, imprescindible hoy para atraer y retener, aunque no da resultados inmediatos. Cliente: el más potente ahora mismo, porque pone la confianza y la experiencia en el centro y alinea marketing, ventas y equipo técnico para crecer de forma sostenible. La clave es identificar de dónde viene tu crecimiento real y si ese modelo sigue encajando con el contexto actual de tu mercado. Si notas que te cuesta captar clientes como antes, quizás ha llegado el momento de replantear tu estrategia.

In the closing episode of our Christian Businessman Series, Alex sits down with Tim Paulson, Co-CEO of Emery Sapp & Sons, one of the largest construction companies in the Midwest. From his humble start as a “Rodman” on a survey crew to leading a billion-dollar enterprise, Tim's journey is a testimony to faith, perseverance, and God's purpose in the marketplace. He shares about the importance of accountability, lessons learned from mentors at Evangel, the “Four C's” that shaped his career, and why caring like Christ is the ultimate differentiator in leadership. Tim's story reminds us that true success isn't just about building projects—it's about building people and reflecting Jesus in every sphere of influence.

In this episode, I'm joined by three exceptional members of our Healthtech Marketing Network - Mariana Small, Elena Putilina, and Amy Swanson - who spearheaded our first-ever AI Cohort project. Together, they surveyed over 100 healthtech marketing leaders to understand how our community is actually using AI in their day-to-day work, moving beyond the hype to examine practical applications and real challenges.The research revealed some fascinating insights about where we stand as an industry. While 93% of respondents are using AI in some capacity, very few organizations have successfully integrated AI into their core workflows or developed strategic roadmaps for implementation. Perhaps most telling, almost no one is measuring AI's impact beyond basic productivity metrics, creating a significant gap between leadership's enthusiasm and actual business value demonstration.While leadership teams are generally supportive and see potential value, they're looking for AI to drive demand generation and performance improvements - not just cost savings. However, marketers are struggling with workflow integration, tool selection overwhelm, and demonstrating clear ROI. The community has identified four key areas where they need help: AI-based search optimization, future skills development, creating repeatable workflows, and establishing governance frameworks.This research confirms we're still in the early stages of AI adoption in healthtech marketing, but it also provides a clear roadmap for moving from experimentation to strategic implementation. The findings show that while the enthusiasm is there, we need to focus on building proper foundations.Key Topics Covered"(00:00:00) Introduction""(00:01:00) Meet the AI Cohort Team""(00:05:00) State of AI Usage in Healthtech Marketing""(00:07:00) Most Popular AI Tools and Applications""(00:09:00) The Measurement Challenge""(00:12:00) Management Expectations vs. Reality""(00:16:00) Organizational Bottlenecks and Barriers""(00:18:00) The Need for AI Champions""(00:19:00) What the Community Wants Next""(00:22:00) Governance and Ethics Considerations""(00:23:00) Personas, Sales Enablement, and Search""(00:26:00) Strategic vs. Tactical AI Implementation""(00:30:00) Closing Advice from the Research Team""(00:33:00) Key Takeaways and Webinar Announcement"Join us for an in depth webinar covering the AI Cohort Research on October 8th at 1 pm ET.If you are interested in discussing this or any other topic, let's have a chat.  Reach out to me directly to schedule a no-obligation discussion.

In this episode of the Scaling Japan Podcast, we're joined by Kenneth Jeng, a Japan Startup Ecosystem Veteran and a long-time ecosystem builder who has worked across the U.S. and Japan.This is Part 1 of a two-part series recorded in November 2024 with Kenneth.Kenneth shares hard-hitting insights on what's really holding Japan's startup ecosystem back — from the cultural and structural roadblocks to limited business development capabilities and lingering visa barriers for foreign entrepreneurs.He offers a rare comparison between Japan and the U.S. startup environments, outlining why IPOs in Japan don't function like exits, how the country's high living standards may be dulling entrepreneurial hunger, and why so many promising startups stall before reaching scale.If you're a founder, investor, or policymaker interested in Japan's startup space, this is a must-listen for understanding where things stand and what's starting to change. Stay tuned for Part 2 where we go deeper into founder mindsets, investor culture, and the future of Japan's startup growth.AIM B2B – Integrated Marketing & PR in AsiaThis episode is sponsored by Custom Media, Tokyo's leading integrated marketing and PR agency since 2008, helping global brands expand across Japan and APAC.They can help you with:- Localized storytelling to build trust in Asian markets- Strategic performance marketing for measurable growth- Account‑based marketing (ABM), paid media, GEO, and SEO- HubSpot‑certified CRM & marketing automation- Data‑driven implementation with cultural expertiseLearn more about AIM B2B Show Notes:00:00 – Introduction02:55 – Differences in Ecosystems07:45– Current Narratives and Trends12:38 – IPO in Japan16:27 – Immigration and Visa for Startups in Japan18:57 – Living Standard in Japan for Entrepreneurs26:30 – Pros of Japan Startup Ecosystem31:20 – Venturing and Scaling41:42 – Comparing Growth Rate46:30 – Importance of Business Development & Team51:17 – Scaling in JapanLinks from Guest Appearance:

In this episode of The Way We See It, Alex has a rich and thought-provoking conversation with Jason Hurt, Founder and Principal Consultant at Hurt Consulting, an organization dedicated to guiding faith-based nonprofits and mission-driven organizations toward sustainable impact. Jason shares his bold journey of leaving corporate America—stepping away from power, performance, and a comfortable paycheck—to follow God's call into the nonprofit world. After briefly owning a business, he quickly realized that his deeper purpose wasn't in profit margins but in people and mission. Now, he helps leaders align vision with impact and navigate real transformation. Jason shares some of the key lessons he's learned along the way: Never trade influence for impact. Surround yourself with people who aren't impressed by you. And regularly audit your calendar to make sure your time reflects your values. With the release of his new book, Climbing Down the Ladder, Jason is a voice for men looking to exchange hustle for calling, and success for significance. #ChristianBusinessman #FaithAndLeadership #PurposeDrivenLife #ClimbingDownTheLadder #JasonHurt #HurtConsulting #FromSuccessToSignificance #NonprofitLeadership #KingdomImpact #MenOfFaith #TheWayWeSeeItPodcast #FaithInAction #AuthenticLeadership #AuditYourCalendar #LeadWithPurpose #ChristianMenWhoLead Alex Bryant Ministries is focused on helping people be reconciled to God, then within one's own self, and finally being reconciled to our fellow man in order to become disciples.

In this AI Quick Take episode, I take a look at one of the most fascinating yet misunderstood applications of AI in healthcare: digital twins. While this concept has been around in engineering and technology circles, I wanted to explore what it really means for us as healthcare marketers and why it could be a game-changer for our industry.A digital twin is essentially a virtual model of a real-world process, system, or even a person. Think of it as a digital replica that can simulate how real things behave. In healthcare, we're already seeing exciting applications, such as simulated patient flow through emergency departments, personalized treatment modeling for individual patients, and even simulations of medical devices like pacemakers or MRI machines. What makes these particularly powerful for marketers is that, unlike static personas, digital twins continuously ingest real-world data and evolve over time. I outlined three key marketing use cases that could transform how we work. Creating digital twins of our buyers - essentially persona modeling on steroids. Simulating the value of products before customers ever buy.Helping prospects experience outcomes before deployment.The bottom line is that digital twins could help us solve healthcare's notorious long sales cycles by moving from "trust us, our solution works" to "here's exactly how it'll work in your specific environment." I believe the vendors who master this capability over the next few years will have a significant competitive advantage, being able to prove value in weeks rather than months through immediate outcome simulation.Key Topics Covered“Introduction to Digital Twins (00:00:00)”“Healthcare Applications (00:02:00)”“Marketing Advantages (00:04:00)”“Buyer Digital Twins (00:05:00)”“Product Marketing Applications (00:07:00)”“Sales Enablement (00:08:00)”“Getting Started - Customer Data (00:10:00)”“Content Development Strategy (00:11:00)”“Demo Differentiation (00:11:00)”“Future Vision (00:13:00)”“Closing Advice (00:14:00)”If you are interested in discussing this or any other topic, let's have a chat.  Reach out to me directly to schedule a no-obligation discussion.

This episode of the OnBase Podcast delivers a masterclass in building modern go-to-market strategies with ABM at their heart. Host Paul Gibson talks with Robert Norum about why a focused, account-based approach is no longer optional for B2B organizations—it's essential. Robert breaks down the journey from traditional, volume-based marketing to a sophisticated, tiered ABM model that aligns the entire organization.The conversation uncovers the most common challenges businesses face when adopting ABM, from securing leadership buy-in to managing expectations and moving beyond outdated MQL metrics. Robert provides a clear roadmap for success, emphasizing that ABM is not just a marketing tactic but a company-wide directive that unites sales, marketing, and customer success into a single, powerful growth engine.Listen to the full episode to gain the confidence and clarity needed to make ABM your primary GTM strategy.Key TakeawaysABM is the Go-to-Market StrategyFor enterprise organizations, ABM should be the central GTM strategy, not just another marketing program.Focus is EverythingAn account-based approach forces you to concentrate your budget, resources, and people on the accounts that truly matter..Alignment is Non-NegotiableSuccess depends on creating a "SWAT team" across sales, marketing, and customer success, all working toward shared account goals.Pilots Can Be a TrapTreating ABM as a short-term pilot is a recipe for failure; it requires long-term investment and commitment from the top down.Measure What MattersMove beyond MQLs and vanity metrics. Focus on moving the dial within target accounts, expanding your footprint, and creating real pipeline opportunities..Quotes"ABM is the glue that has the potential to really connect organizations and break down silos across different teams"Best Moments (04:37) – The Evolution of ABM: Robert discusses how ABM grew from a one-to-one approach for large enterprises to a scalable, multi-tiered strategy.(09:05) – The Case for Focus: Why concentrating on high-value accounts is the most critical decision a B2B business can make today.(20:12) – The Biggest ABM Challenge: The most common mistake companies make is diving in without defining what ABM means for their organization and getting leadership buy-in.(24:17) – The End of Silos: How an account-based approach fosters an equal partnership between sales and marketing.(30:50) – Winning Over Leadership: Strategies for building a compelling business case for ABM and getting the C-suite excited.(42:40) – The Role of AI: How AI will accelerate ABM, but human intelligence remains essential to brief, interpret, and quality-check the output.Resource RecommendationsBooks:Account-Based Marketing: The Definitive Handbook for B2B Marketers by Bev Burgess.Shout-OutsJon Miller - MarTech entrepreneur,Co-founder at Marketo and EngagioMarta George - Head of EMEA AMB Programmes, Ping Identity.Lianne O'Connor - Global Field & ABM Marketing Director, Fluke Corporation.Andy Johnson - Founder and Director of Client Strategy, HUT 3.Charlotte Graham-Cumming - CEO, Ice Blue Sky Corporation.About the GuestRobert Norum is a B2B Marketer with over 30 years experience.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with John Lynn, founder of Healthcare IT Today and Swaay Health, and Brittany Quemby, who leads their marketing effort. We discussed the evolving landscape of healthcare technology buyers and the marketing strategies that are most effective in today's increasingly challenging environment.John provides insights into how the healthcare technology buyer is changing and how the committee-driven decision-making process has become even more complex. Buyers are only investing in solutions with clear ROI or AI connections. Without these elements, vendors find themselves in an education mode, preparing for when budgets eventually open up.We also discussed the three major pain points keeping healthcare leaders awake at night: security threats (the 3 AM breach call), AI strategy challenges (navigating the current "best of breed" landscape while waiting for all-in-one solutions), and EHR optimization (maximizing the massive investments already made).Key Topics:“(00:00:00) Introduction”“(00:01:00) - The Origin Story of Swaay Health”“(00:04:00) - The Evolving Healthcare Technology Buyer”“(00:07:00) - Major Pain Points for Healthcare Leaders”“(00:11:00) - Sources of Trust and Influence”“(00:17:00) - The Access Problem”“(00:19:00) - What's Working in Marketing”“(00:25:00) - Video Content Strategy at HIMSS”“(00:28:00) - Content Formats and Trends”“(00:33:00) - Future Marketing Trends”“(00:37:00) - Go-to-Market Strategy Recommendations”If you are interested in discussing this or any other topic, let's have a chat.  Reach out to me directly to schedule a no-obligation discussion.

He shares strategies for optimizing websites, tracking prompts, and maintaining your brand's visibility in both traditional and AI-powered search results.

Send us a textEveryone makes ABM about accounts - and better account targeting. But ABM is not really about accounts. It's about the buyers inside the accounts you want to land and expand. It's about improving the interactions you have with these buyers and the account experiences you deliver to them. In this episode, Andy Monahan at Yield Group joins Kristina Jaramillo and Eric Gruber to discuss what it means to be buyer-led and how ABM programs should be buyer-led. They also discuss:1. How GTM teams do not understand their buyers -- and what GTM teams are missing.2. How teams are not looking at buying group make-up fit, strategic fit, or future fit when defining the ICP. 3. How teams are not looking at the readiness of accounts.  4. How teams often miss the step of realigning their positioning, messaging, content, and even their pricing with the new ICP.  They are pushing out the old stuff to new accounts and hoping for a better result. But accounts are still going dark because they haven't changed the content, interactions, and experiences to align with the ICP and the buyers within those ICP accounts. 

Send us a textA couple of months ago, Gabe Rogl, the CEO of Demandbase, posted:BGM, or Buying Group Marketing, is the new ABM. Yes, ABM was named wrong in the first place. It should have been account-based go-to market, or account-based experience.  But it's because it's just not a marketing thing. And yes, it's still foundational for businesses that market complex solutions with long sales cycles, but there's been a clear evolution the last 15 years that's led us to the criticality of buying groups. It started around 2010, when the lead-based approach reached its endpoint. That led to the decade-plus evolution of ABM as a practice, as a job function, and as a technology. ABM was a huge step forward because it focused resources on accounts that led to the greatest LTV and made sales and marketing alignment a priority. But today, the best go-to markets are supercharging ABM by operationalizing buying groups as:1.  Not everyone in an account is relevant to the sales cycle.2. There are more people involved in a sales cycle than ever before. 3. Accounts can purchase multiple products, focusing on the account alone without using buyer groups as a data object. This makes it very difficult to prospect, sell, forecast multiple opportunities in the same account.4. Engaging buying groups de-risks every phase of revenue creation. Pipeline, win rates, renewal, expansion. 5. It is an absolute competitive differentiator right now, because few companies are doing it well.This is why he says BGM initiatives will drive the next wave of B2B growth. But on this episode, Jessica Fewless at Inverta joined Kristina Jaramillo and Eric Gruber to challenge Gabe's post and thoughts.  

In this AI Quick Take episode, I explore the critical concept of prompt engineering. This skill is fundamental in transforming how you use AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity in your professional work. Most people are using these robust AI systems like glorified search engines, but to unlock their full potential for marketing, sales enablement, and content creation, mastering prompt engineering is essential.AI systems are competent, but they need context, constraints, and clear objectives to deliver truly valuable results. In the episode, I will review the Five Layer Framework for crafting effective prompts: Define the role and contextSet specific objectivesClarify audience and use caseEstablish format and constraintsDefine success criteriaI also walk through practical examples in market research, campaign planning, and sales enablement, showing how this structured approach can save 20-30 hours of manual work while delivering superior results.Key Topics Covered:"(00:00:00) - Episode Introduction""(00:03:00) - What is Prompt Engineering?""(00:06:00) - Basic vs. Engineered Prompt Example""(00:07:00) - The Five Layer Framework""(00:11:00) - Using AI to Help Create Better Prompts""(00:12:00) - Market Research and Analysis Applications""(00:14:00) - Campaign Strategy and Planning""(00:15:00) - Sales Enablement Applications""(00:16:00) - Advanced Prompt Engineering Techniques""(00:20:00) - Common Mistakes to Avoid""(00:21:00) - Closing and Resources"For a detailed walkthrough of AI prompt engineering, ⁠check out our "How To" guide.⁠If you are interested in discussing this or any other topic, let's have a chat.  ⁠Reach out to me directly⁠ to schedule a no-obligation discussion.

Scalestack is revolutionizing go-to-market operations through intelligent automation, helping enterprise revenue teams eliminate what CEO Elio Narciso calls the "manual work tax" - the 72% of time sales reps spend on tedious data tasks instead of engaging with customers. With $3.1 million in funding and enterprise customers including MongoDB, Redis, and Astronomer, Scalestack has built an agentic orchestration platform that transforms how large organizations manage their revenue data. In this conversation, Narciso shares how his team discovered the massive ROI hidden in back-office automation and why the future belongs to companies that can seamlessly blend human strategy with machine execution. Topics Discussed: The concept of "manual work tax" and its impact on sales productivity  Why 95% of AI investments in enterprises are failing to produce results  Scalestack's evolution from automation platform to agentic workflow orchestration  The company's enterprise-first approach and deployment strategy with large customers  How Scalestack landed MongoDB as an early customer through targeted outbound  The role of podcasting as an ABM strategy for enterprise sales  Scalestack's vision to replace traditional CRMs with intelligent systems of action GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Target the back-office before the front-office: While many AI companies rush to automate customer-facing roles like SDRs, Narciso emphasizes that the real ROI lies in back-office automation. He cites an MIT study showing that 95% of AI investments fail when focused on last-mile customer interactions, while back-office process automation delivers measurable results. B2B founders should prioritize automating the tedious work that doesn't directly touch customers but enables better customer engagement. Enterprise customers require co-creation, not just deployment: Scalestack's success with MongoDB, Redis, and other large customers came through what Narciso calls "deployment engineers" - essentially building custom solutions collaboratively. He draws inspiration from Palantir's model of developing technology alongside customers. This approach requires significant upfront investment but creates defensible technology that can be productized for the broader market. B2B founders targeting enterprise should be prepared to invest in customer success resources that can handle complex, bespoke implementations. Use customer language to refine your messaging: Narciso completely redid Scalestack's website based on language extracted from hundreds of customer calls and podcast interviews. He emphasizes that "customers always have the best words" because they've lived the pain most deeply. Rather than relying on internal assumptions about positioning, B2B founders should systematically capture and analyze how customers describe their problems and desired outcomes. Cold email still works with enterprise buyers when done strategically: Scalestack's first major customer, MongoDB, came from a cold email to their SVP of Sales Ops. The key was targeting someone (employee #8 at MongoDB) who had an entrepreneurial mindset and curiosity about learning from vendors. Narciso's insight: enterprise operators often want to learn from startups tackling similar problems, whether to buy the solution or implement it internally. B2B founders should research target prospects' backgrounds and approach those with startup experience or operational curiosity. Podcasting as ABM for enterprise sales: Narciso uses his "Revenue Engine Masters" podcast strategically as an account-based marketing tool, targeting specific people at target companies rather than focusing on broad reach. After recording nearly 20 episodes, he's seeing inbound interest and using the content to extract messaging insights. The podcast also strengthens relationships with prospects and customers who participate. B2B founders should consider podcasting not as a mass-market strategy but as a high-touch relationship-building tool for their ideal customer profile.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

This episode features an interview with Thea Hayden, CMO at Cognizant, a  leading professional services company that brings deep technology and industry expertise together to help our clients transform and stay ahead. Thea discusses the importance of a strong partnership with IT, and the significance of multi-channel tactics. She also shares insights into experiential marketing tactics and her commitment to fostering a culture of experimentation and fun within her marketing team. Key Takeaways:We often discuss building strong relationships with the CFO, but investing in your relationship with your CIO is essential too, since the martech stack is so crucial to success. Overindexing on any strength will make it your weakness; nothing works in isolation and a multichannel approach is necessary. AI may be the death of spray and pray tactics and broad reach marketing, since personalization will be so much easier and more successful. Quote:  ”The tactic that may finally die because of AI is spray and pray, right? Because everything's going to be so personalized and so easy to personalize, and so much more effective because of that. And so I think even the days of just super broad reach maybe are dead altogether.”Episode Timestamps: *(03:00) The Trust Tree: Start with the end in mind*(16:48) The Playbook: Overindexing on strengths, makes them weaknesses*(33:30) The Dust Up: Build a strong relationship with IT*(34:26) Quick Hits: Thea's quick hits Sponsor:Pipeline Visionaries is brought to you by Qualified.com.

In this episode, I delve into a topic that's been personally frustrating me and affecting countless other LinkedIn users: the dramatic decline in organic reach and engagement on the platform. LinkedIn has been instrumental in building Health Launchpad's brand over the years, but like many others, I've noticed it's simply not working the way it used to.Richard Vander Blom's comprehensive LinkedIn Algorithm Report is an incredible resource that I reference in this episode.This reveals some stark statistics from February 2024 to February 2025:50% decline in reach (impressions) across the platform25% decline in engagement (likes, shares, comments)41% decline in follower growth rates95% of creators have experienced declining reachLinkedIn has fundamentally changed its algorithm to prioritize relevance over exposure. Where we once used LinkedIn for broad amplification, the platform now focuses on getting content in front of fewer but more relevant people. This LinkedIn decline, combined with decreasing SEO-driven traffic due to AI overviews, means two key pillars of inbound marketing are becoming less effective. Both Google and LinkedIn have changed in ways that make inbound marketing more challenging. This, in turn, increases the pressure to buy ads. This forces us as marketers to fundamentally rethink our inbound strategies.In this episode, I present my seven-point strategy for adapting to these changes. It's still possible to build meaningful connections and grow your business through LinkedIn. The key is to accept that the old playbook no longer works and to embrace these new realities.Key Topics“(00:00:00) Introduction”“(00:03:00) LinkedIn's importance to Health Launchpad and declining performance”“(00:05:00) Richard Vander Blom's LinkedIn Algorithm Report findings”“(00:08:00) LinkedIn's algorithm shift: relevance over exposure”“(00:17:00) Seven strategies introduction”“(00:19:00) Strategy 1: Niche focus and target audience sizing”“(00:21:00) Strategy 2: Engagement metrics over reach metrics”“(00:22:00) Strategy 3: Active engagement"“(00:24:00) Strategy 4: Mobile-first content creation and formats”“(00:27:00) Strategy 5: Building following through consistency”“(00:30:00) Strategy 6: Daily connection building (30-40 invites)”“(00:33:00) Strategy 7: LinkedIn newsletters as content format”“(00:35:00) Broader implications: SEO and LinkedIn both declining”“(00:37:00) Call to action for listener feedback and connection”Check out our full blog post for a deep dive into LinkedIn's algorithm changes.Here are the other posts I referenced:How to Master LinkedIn, Build Your Brand and WinCustomersMy Insane LinkedIn RoutineLatest LinkedIn Ads BestPractices for Healthtech MarketersInterested in exploring how to improve your LinkedIn strategy? ⁠Reach out to me directly⁠ to schedule a no-obligation discussion.

In this AI Quick Take, I do my best to demystify the confusing landscape of AI models that's been a little overwhelming. The AI world feels like the mid-'90s browser wars all on steroids, with multiple companies vying for dominance, each with its own approach and philosophy.I started by breaking down the major players. The big story isn't just about who has the smartest model - it's about trust, speed, and who controls the interface between you and AI. I also go into how our company went through the process of selecting OpenAI as our enterprise platform, and why GPT-5's consolidation approach and improved reasoning capabilities could make it compelling for health tech marketing applications.Most importantly, I explored what this means for us as healthcare marketers. With AI getting better at complex research and evaluation, our buyers are going to do even deeper analysis before they ever engage with vendors. This creates both a challenge - harder to reach prospects early - and an opportunity to feed the AI beast with more comprehensive content that influences those AI-powered research sessions.Key Topics Covered:“(00:00:00) Introduction and GPT-5 Overview”“(00:01:00) The Complexity Problem”“(00:04:00) The Major AI Players Breakdown”“(00:11:00) Company AI Platform Selection”“(00:13:00) GPT-5 Deep Dive”“(00:16:00) Implications for Health Tech Marketing”Interested in exploring how to improve your AI enablement strategy?

In this episode, we're joined by Sander van Gelderen, CMO at Effectory, an employee listening solution platform helping organizations measure and improve engagement, enablement, and productivity at scale, serving 700+ recurring customers across the Benelux, DACH, and now the Nordics. We spoke with Sander about how Effectory transformed from a project-based consultancy into a recurring revenue SaaS business and how his team is reshaping their go-to-market motion through Account-Based Experience (ABX). The goal? Closing the gap between marketing and sales, reducing waste, and targeting only the accounts truly in-market. Here are some of the key questions we address: What is ABX and how does it differ from ABM in practice? How do you unify marketing and sales targeting to remove friction? What were the warning signs that the traditional MQL model wasn't working? How do you implement ABX without losing velocity or your team's trust? What process and tech changes are required to make ABX work? How should marketing compensation evolve in an ABX world? What are the real trade-offs and pitfalls no one talks about?

The revelation that shattered systems thinking: Replacing every combustion car with electric vehicles improves urban efficiency by only 6%—revealing why isolated optimizations fail in complex ecosystems.Dr. Parfait Atchadé from MIT Media Lab discovered this through quantum-enhanced urban modeling in Boston's Kendall Square. His breakthrough: humanized AI agents with emotional architectures that "live" in virtual cities for decades of compressed time, then vote on configurations—exposing the systematic failure of single-variable optimization. Paradigm Shifts:→ The Single-Solution Trap: Complex systems require the vast majority of improvements from interconnected changes—individual optimizations create illusion of progress while missing systemic impact→ Quantum Superposition Planning: Test multiple city configurations simultaneously rather than sequential scenarios—compress 40 years of urban experience into months of simulation→ Agents with Feelings: AI agents embedded with emotional models (joy, fear, anger, sadness) provide qualitative experience data impossible to capture from human stakeholders→ Portfolio Voting Revolution: Beyond binary decisions—split voting percentages across options like investment portfolios, enabling nuanced collective optimization→ Traditional systems modeling: Sequential scenario testing vs. Quantum approach: Parallel reality simulation with dramatic efficiency gainsThe Innovation: Humanized Agent-Based Modeling (h-ABM) creates digital beings with memory, perception, and emotional responses that navigate virtual systems, accumulating experiences and providing stakeholder insights traditional analytics cannot capture.Strategic Application: Any complex ecosystem requiring multi-stakeholder optimization—from organizational transformation to supply chain design—can leverage quantum-enhanced modeling with emotionally-intelligent agents.Strategic Reframe: The most adaptive ecosystems will shift from asking "How do we optimize individual components?" to understanding: "How do we architect systems where quantum-enhanced agents can help us reveal the hidden interdependencies that single-solution approaches systematically miss?"#EcosystemicFutures #QuantumComputing #SystemsThinking #UrbanPlanning #MIT #ComplexSystems #AgentBasedModelingGuest: Dr. Parfait Atchadé, Research Affiliate, MIT Media Lab | Strategic Business Officer, Lighthouse DIGHost: Marco Annunziata, Co-founder, Annunziata & Desai AdvisorsSeries Hosts: Vikram Shyam, Lead Futurist, NASA Glenn Research Center Dyan Finkhousen, Founder & CEO, Shoshin WorksEcosystemic Futures is provided by NASA Convergent Aeronautics Solutions Project in collaboration with Shoshin Works.

In this AI Quick Takes episode, I review one of the most intriguing recent developments in AI - OpenAI's introduction of ChatGPT Agent. I break down what makes ChatGPT Agent fundamentally different from the ChatGPT we're all familiar with.I also explore how this could be applied in healthcare marketing. For example, whether you're launching a new RevCycle solution upgrade or running ABM campaigns, the agent could handle everything from competitive research to creating personalized messaging at scale. The possibilities are genuinely exciting, though I noted that even Sam Altman seemed cautious about what they're unleashing, which tells you something about the power of this technology.Key Topics Covered“(00:00:00) Introduction & ChatGPT Agent Overview”“(00:01:30) Core Capabilities Breakdown”“(00:03:00) Healthcare Use Case: Revenue Cycle Research”“(00:07:00) Marketing Applications”“(00:09:00) Why This Is Different & Personalization Possibilities”“(00:11:00) Closing Thoughts & Next Steps”Interested in exploring how to improve your AI enablement strategy?

When everyone's racing to launch big strategies, success takes more than smart tactics. It takes alignment, discipline, and deep cross-functional trust.That's how the heroes in Spidey and His Amazing Friends, the hit animated Marvel kids' show, defeat the villains. In this episode, we unpack marketing lessons from Spidey's universe with the help of our special guest Emily Ferdinando, CMO at Bugcrowd.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from nailing ABM execution, building content grounded in community feedback, and turning shared goals into real, coordinated action.About our guest, Emily FerdinandoEmily Ferdinando is a go-to-market leader with a focus on pipeline and revenue growth. She brings 15 years of GTM leadership experience, specializing in optimizing operational processes and data-driven strategy. With a background in sales and operations, Emily brings a unique approach to Marketing focused on down-funnel impact and top-line growth. Emily joins Bugcrowd from Veracode where she most recently led the Growth Marketing organization. Her background includes leadership roles across the GTM engine, including Global Business Development, GTM Enablement, and Operational Strategy. While there, she led the team through multiple events and two successful exits. Emily lives in New Hampshire with her husband and two young children. She enjoys the outdoors and stretching her creative muscles through painting, fiction writing and guitar.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Spidey and His Amazing Friends:Alignment over silos. In one episode, Spidey, Ghosty, and Miles all chase Rhino with their own plans, each using their powers, none working together. The mission falls apart. “We can say we have the same goal all day, but if we're not aligned on how we get there… that's what it's gonna look like,” Emily says. In marketing and in superhero teams, the difference between success and disaster isn't talent, it's coordination.One-size-fits-all content fits no one. Spidey's world works because it's made for everyone. Each with different powers, personalities, backgrounds, and their own story. That same inclusive mindset should guide your content. “Many people did not fit squarely into one piece,” Emily says. “If we ran our strategy that way, they were missing exposure to a lot of content that was really relevant to them.” Real impact comes from serving the overlaps, not the edges.Simple stories stick. Spidey and His Amazing Friends makes complex ideas—like teamwork, trust, and problem-solving—land through bright colors and clear stakes. For marketers, that's the goal too. “Making internal assumptions without pressure testing with the people who are going to be receiving the output of your team, it's a huge miss,” Emily says. Whether you're leading kids or customers, never assume they're on board. Ask, listen, and build with them.Quote“Spidey and His Amazing Friends, they really teach you what actual in practice, collaboration is supposed to look like and not look like. And it's really as simple as…you step back. We all know what we're supposed to do. It's just really hard in practice sometimes, and sometimes you can learn from the kids' shows. You just step back and go, we know what to do, we just need to do it.”Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Emily Ferdinando, CMO at Bugcrowd[01:00] Why Spidey and His Amazing Friends?[02:20] The Role of a CMO at Bugcrowd[03:00] Origins of Spidey and His Amazing Friends[19:38] B2B Marketing Takeaways from Spidey and His Amazing Friends[29:21] Bugcrowd's ABM Launch[33:30] Repackaging Content for Better Engagement[40:13] Bugcrowd's Content Strategy and Community Engagement[47:20] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Emily on LinkedInLearn more about BugcrowdAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Of all the areas AI is poised to overturn, marketing is at the top of the list. In truth, Silicon Valley has long held marketing is low esteem. Google CEO Eric Schmidt once sniffed that brand marketing is "the last bastion of unaccountable corporate spending." The mathification of marketing will go into hyperdrive, as AI is used to create some kind of agentic ecosystem of bots persuading bots. All of this is great scifi to Anonymous Brand Marketer, a Fortune 500 marketer who sees as much BS as promise in AI's application to marketing. ABM sees it both rationalizing and driving efficiencies in performance marketing while leading to a mini-resurgence in the kinds of brand marketing that connects to humans in ways that a Salesforce agent cannot.
