POPULARITY
You can have the best product in the world, perfect messaging, and market timing on your side… but if you don't have elite people in your sales organization, none of it matters. Brad Scott has built sales teams at Snowflake, Veza, and now Glean – three of the most different growth trajectories in tech. In this conversation, he breaks down how to hire for the traits that actually predict success: intellectual curiosity, resilience, self-awareness. He also tackles the complexity of selling AI-native products in a market flooded with AI-bolted hype, and why the fundamentals of recruiting, onboarding, and process discipline are your only anchor when everything around you is changing every 90 days. Brad Scott is VP of Worldwide Sales at Glean, where he leads a 350-person sales organization through explosive growth. Before Glean, he built sales teams at Veza from an early stage and at Snowflake during its historic scale-up, giving him rare visibility into what it actually takes to build elite sales organizations across three radically different company sizes and growth phases. Brad also chairs the Work AI Institute at Glean, exploring what future organizational structures look like in an AI-driven world.

The curtain falls on one of the most difficult Essendon seasons in recent memory and it's time to examine exactly what went wrong, what changed and whether there are genuine reasons to believe the Bombers can move forward under Mark McVeigh. In our comprehensive 2026 Season Review, we discuss:
22 years. No finals wins. No premiership challenge. So how did Essendon get here? On September 4, 2004, Essendon defeated Melbourne by five points in an elimination final at the MCG. It remains the last time the Bombers have won a game in September. With Essendon now entering another rebuild under Mark McVeigh, this is an attempt to explain how the club went from the powerhouse of the 1990s to more than two decades of frustration — and, more importantly, what needs to change. There isn't one person to blame. There isn't one decision that explains everything. Across the past quarter of a century there have been poor decisions, missed opportunities, bad timing and plenty of bad luck. But there is one recurring theme: Impatience. Every time Essendon appeared to be getting back on its feet, the club seemed to make a decision designed to accelerate the process. Sometimes those decisions were understandable. Some even appeared to work initially. But time and again, the shortcuts ultimately pushed the Bombers backwards. We look at the major turning points across the past 25 years, including:
Is Essendon still on the right path, or has the club blinked at a critical moment in its rebuild? This week on Don The Stat, Ian is joined by Tommy Wolfe from Reading The Play (https://readingtheplay.wordpress.com/) for a deep dive into the Bombers' future following the shock departure of Brad Scott. Tommy discusses why he believes Essendon is still two strong drafts away from completing its talent base, where the Bombers sit compared to successful rebuilds such as Melbourne and Fremantle, and whether it's possible to sack a coach without abandoning a long-term vision. The conversation also explores:
