Podcasts about CMO

In today's episode, I am speaking with my dear friend Amanda Goetz. Amanda is my favorite kind of person. She works her butt off, but she's also sensitive and introspective. Her perspective on ambition and how to marry it with family life is baked into her new book, called Toxic Grit, How to Have It All and Actually Love What You Have. Amanda is a two-time founder, four-time CMO, and single mom of three. She inspires over 150,000 people every week through her social insights and weekly newsletter Life's a Game.

Most podcasts about email are pretty basic. Build a list. Email often. Create a lead magnet people want. That kind of tired advice isn't very useful. So in this episode of The Copywriter Club Podcast, I talked with copywriter Jacob Suckow about the skills and expertise it takes to succeed in this industry. This is a masterclass in succeeding as a six-figure email copywriter. Don't miss it. Click the play button below, or scroll down for a full transcript.   Stuff to check out: The Copywriter Club Facebook Group The Copywriter Underground Research Mastery   Transcript: Rob Marsh: Most podcasts about email don't get into the nuts and bolts of how it really works. Until now. This is The Copywriter Club Podcast. When you hear a podcast host like me say we're talking about email on the podcast today, do your eyes glaze over? Do you think, here we go again… more advice about how you need to build your list, need to have a lead magnet, need to email regularly… or maybe you think of tired advice and adages like “the money is in the list” and “the more you hit send, the more you earn”. This is not that. This episode is not that. My guest on the podcast today is Jacob Suckow. This is Jacob's second appearance on the podcast. The first time was about four years ago. And the change in his expertise and business is substantial. He was just figuring things out in that first interview. Today he runs a six-figure email business helping his clients grow their sales with high-level strategy using regular emails and email sequences stacked on top. How do you go from writing emails and pitching products to landing mulit-year retainers taking on not just the writing duties, but also strategy and responsibility for increasing response rates and sales? We talked about exactly how to do that in this episode.  We also talked about exactly how much you could be earning doing email for clients… Jacob shares all three of his pricing tiers to give you an idea of what you could be earning… and using his pricing structure you could create a six-figure business with just 3-4 client retainers. And we talked about what it looks like to lever your experience with email strategy into a fractional CMO role and what that looks like too. Finally we talked about newletters and how this is probably the biggest opportunity for copywriters out there today… the opportunity to grow and own an audience, then partner with offer owners or create your own offers for the audience you own is huge and one that perhaps every copywriter should be chasing down… and I'm not talking about writing weekly emails to other copywriters. These are niche opportunities that can be very profitable for the copywriters willing to put in a little work. There's a lot of good stuff in this episode so stick around. Before we get to my discussion with Jacob, this episode is brought to you by Research Mastery. Research Mastery is the one-stop program or course that will change your writing for the better. Instead of just organizing words, you'll have the tools and strategies you need to truly understand your customer so they relate to your offer and buy more often.

Content generation is the most overhyped AI use case in marketing. Dave Steer, CMO at Webflow, argues that marketers are focusing too narrowly on AI as a content creation tool rather than exploring its broader strategic potential. He advocates for building agentic AI workflows that orchestrate customer experiences and automate complex marketing processes. Steer emphasizes creating sophisticated automation systems where marketers become editors of AI output rather than manual content creators.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You think you can do everything and because you don't know this is how things are done, you just figure it out in a different way. And I see some of these earlier in career marketers and what they are able to accomplish because they don't have the hangups of the rest of us. The, well, this is hard and this takes a long time and you need approvals. Here they are using AI to just pump out really incredible work. They are thinking in ways that I just, I wish I was 22 and was like thinking like that.

In this solo episode of the Gloria Chou PR Podcast, Gloria breaks down the three biggest myths about using AI—especially for small business owners, women of color, and entrepreneurs who don't consider themselves “techie.”After being bombarded by “AI bro-marketers” and overcomplicated advice, Gloria reveals how she uses tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Canva, and Fathom.ai to save 15 hours a week, triple her profits, and build a deeper connection with her audience—without losing her authentic voice.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by AI or unsure where to start, this episode is your permission slip to start using it, not overthinking it.3 AI Rules You Need to BreakForget the gatekeepers and gurus—Gloria exposes the biggest lies about AI that keep small business owners stuck:“You need to learn AI the right way before using it.” Nope. Just start asking questions conversationally. Treat AI like your intern, not your boss.“You need to buy expensive AI courses to unlock the secrets.” Wrong again. Most of the “secrets” are already free—you just need to start exploring and asking smarter questions.“You need to stay on top of every AI update.” Totally false.

Stick to what works and keep it simple.Gloria's Go-To AI Stack for Small Business OwnersHere's what Gloria uses every day to automate, create, and stay connected—without getting lost in tech overwhelm:ChatGPT: For brainstorming, writing pitches, and content creationPerplexity: As her new “Google” for real-time insights and trend researchCanva: For clean, shareable visualsFathom.ai: For auto-recording and transcribing meetings to train AI fasterClaude: Her personal writing and marketing CMO (replaces a $3K/month hire!)The Real ROI of Using AI AuthenticallyAI isn't replacing Gloria's human touch—it's amplifying it. By using AI to create more spaciousness and presence, Gloria connects more deeply with her audience and leads with energy, not exhaustion.She reminds listeners that knowledge isn't the most valuable asset anymore—time is.Final TakeawayYou don't need to be tech-savvy to make AI work for your business. You just need: ✅ Curiosity ✅ Simplicity ✅ The courage to start before you're readyWhen used right, AI doesn't replace your voice—it amplifies it. Let this episode show you how.

Shilpa Reddy, CMO of Down Under School of Yoga and former Marketing VP at Acorns, maps her journey from fintech to wellness and explains why the same principles drive both: make time-tested tools accessible, and build a community that keeps people engaged. She breaks down her three-stage marketing flywheel, and shows why marketers must dismantle the false divide between direct response and brand storytelling. The conversation moves from Acorns' spare-change investing to Down Under's community-driven yoga. She interrogates the role of podcasts as the new TV, the measurement gaps left by ATT, and how authenticity risks becoming uniform in an AI-saturated content world.Questions Shilpa answered in this episode:What drew Shilpa from Acorns to running a yoga business?How curiosity and human-centered marketing let her adapt across industriesWhat is the three-stage marketing flywheel, and how do you know when to move from one stage to the next?Why brand and performance are one continuum, not opposing forces?How LTV makes the case for brand investment with a CFOWhy podcasts function as the ‘new TV' for reach, trust, and ad effectiveness?How marketers should balance host-read storytelling with direct response calls to action?How AT&T's affected mobile marketing measurementWhy authenticity should mean varied storytelling, not uniform brand policingWhat advice Shilpa gives to early-stage wellness founders with no marketing budget?Timestamps:(0:00) – Intro; Shilpa's journey from Acorns to Down Under Yoga(2:00) – Growing up with yoga, curiosity, and career pivots across industries(3:50) – Acorns' mission and how it relates to yoga(8:00) – The three-stage marketing flywheel explained (fit, LTV, brand)(13:50) – Signs you're ready to move between stages (NPS, brand love, data)(15:15) – Making the CFO case for brand investments through LTV(17:00) – The orchestration problem: aligning funnel mechanics with brand reach(19:00) – Podcasts as the new TV: hours consumed, trust, and ad-to-content ratio(24:40) – ATT's impact: creativity up, measurement lagging(26:20) – Authenticity vs. uniformity: the danger of AI-generated generic content(29:30) – Advice to early-stage wellness founders: start with your most loyal clients(55:00) – Wrap-up: Down Under Yoga, on-demand classes, how to connectQuotes:(12:30) – “Stage one is finding who your product is loved by.

Cisco is well known for its data, networking, security, and collaboration products. On today's episode, Cisco's president and chief product officer, Jeetu Patel, joins Sam for a discussion about artificial intelligence, a “megatrend” Jeetu sees as perhaps more significant than the development of the internet or the automobile because of its ability to build on past technological advances. Jeetu and Sam discuss how to manage AI and how to staff for it — Jeetu argues that replacing less experienced or younger workers with technology deprives organizations of key perspectives and new ideas, and instead advocates for developing reverse-mentoring programs inside organizations. Read the episode transcript here. Guest bio: Jeetu Patel, Cisco's president and chief product officer, combines product design and development expertise, operational rigor, and market understanding to create high-growth businesses. He is tasked with building world-class products to solve customers' problems, and connect and protect every aspect of their organization in the AI era. Previously a general manager at Cisco, he led the strategy and development of its Security and Collaboration businesses.

A masterpiece doesn't have to be simple. Sometimes the most powerful stories emerge from complexity, cohesion, and staying power.That's the lesson of Picasso's Guernica, a chaotic painting that, when viewed as a whole, tells a timeless story. In this episode, we explore its marketing lessons with the help of our special guest Jerome Stewart, Chief Marketing Officer at Conviva.Together, we uncover what B2B marketers can learn from building campaigns with a unifying story, turning complexity into an advantage, and creating content designed to resonate long after launch.About our guest, Jerome StewartJerome Stewart is the Chief Marketing Officer at Conviva. He is a dynamic and people-driven marketing executive with a proven track record of building high-performing teams, elevating brand visibility, and driving revenue growth in early-stage and industry-leading technology companies. Jerome is an experienced global leader with six years of international business experience outside the USA, as well as an accomplished Amazon bestselling author.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Guernica:Campaigns need a unifying story. Guernica shows how fragmented, chaotic elements can form one powerful story. Jerome says, “Each one of those [individual pictures] stands out, but when you take a step back and you look at it in its entirety. Indeed, there is a cohesive story.” Marketing works the same way; every asset matters, but true impact comes when the pieces connect into a bigger, memorable narrative.Complexity can be an advantage. At first glance, Guernica looks disorganized and overwhelming. However, his chaotic canvas still communicates a clear message. Jerome points out, “Maybe some people look at a more modern artistic style… and you can say, ‘Hey, this just looks really messy.' But as I say, dig in a little bit deeper and you see there's a very rich story.” In marketing, don't be afraid of layered stories. Campaigns that invite discovery can spark deeper connection and longer attention.Strive for timeless content. Picasso's painting still sparks reflection nearly a century later. Jerome connects this to marketing: “We're trying to tell stories and we're trying to come up with stories that stand out and that maybe stand the test of time. That will resonate into the future.” Campaigns should be built with staying power, not just to make noise at launch but to linger and influence long after.Quote“A bar  to hold ourselves against is did we tell a story? Was it clear? And something else that Picasso did brilliantly well, he took something as complex as war, and he didn't simplify it in any way. He did something cohesive. [We have to]  challenge ourselves to do the best that we possibly can to tell those stories.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Jerome Stewart, Chief Marketing Officer at Conviva[01:34] Why Guernica?[06:57] Visiting Guernica and Its Impact[14:58] Role as CMO at Conviva[16:45] Understanding Guernica[28:08] B2B Marketing Takeaways from Guernica[35:31] Marketing Insights and Strategies[42:27] Advice for CMOs[44:53] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Jerome on LinkedInLearn more about ConvivaAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

This episode of Pipeline Visionaries features an interview with Rodrigo Maroni, Head of U.S. at Winnin, the cultural intelligence platform that reveals actionable insights to grow your brand's cultural relevance exponentially. Rodrigo shares why culture is the invisible hand guiding B2B consumer decisions, why chasing trends won't make brands relevant, and how predictive cultural data uncovers unexpected audience opportunities.Quotes We don't track things like share of voice. Really I believe that this is an outdated metric. You are only measuring your intent, not your outcome. So we use a metric we develop called share of attention. Share of attention is really a metric that takes into account, the output in there, the effect, the impact that you make in your audience.We are measuring the end game, not the starting game, so you get a real pulse on what's working.Key TakeawaysCulture drives growth. Every purchase decision is culturally influenced, even in B2B. Don't chase trends. Predict cultural moments and map “cultural categories” to get ahead.Hidden audiences = growth. Insights from behavioral data can reveal unexpected segments like sneakerheads for cleaning products.Measure what matters. Share of attention captures true cultural impact, unlike outdated share of voice metrics.Episode Timestamps(05:49) The Trust Tree: Collecting behavioral data(21:38) The Playbook: Developing cultural intelligence reports (30:19) Dust up: Navigating gaps in metrics (31:05) Quick hits: Rodrigo's Quick HitsSponsorPipeline Visionaries is brought to you by Qualified.com.

"Dissecting Compensation - A Primer on Understanding, Negotiating and Managing Pay"A CMO Confidential Interview with Richard Sanderson, the Marketing, Sales, and Communications Practice Leader at Spencer Stuart. Richard starts with the basics of salary, bonus and equity and branches out to compensation mix, the various types of equity, negotiating best practices, and the "other" elements of an offer. Key topics include: why the devil is in the details; when and how to discuss compensation; the difference between dumb luck and bad luck; and why everyone should do a "multi-year cash flow analysis." Tune in to hear why you should always read the proxy statement and the importance of being prepared to explain how you are using AI.In Part 2, host Mike Linton sits back down with Spencer Stuart Practice Leader Richard Sanderson to get tactical about comp negotiations, severance, equity, and managing your team through pay anxiety. If you're a CMO (or headed there), this episode is your field guide to securing a fair offer and stewarding compensation conversations with your org.Points of interest: • Your moment of maximum leverage: why the verbal offer is the prime time to align on comp—and how to use that window without damaging trust. • How different companies negotiate: spotting “full & fair” one-shot offers vs. multi-round negotiators—and how to work the process with your recruiter as a broker to keep heat and emotion out. • Beyond base and bonus: what's often negotiable (e.g., severance, sign-on/bridge, relocation, start date, work location, travel, even one-offs) and how to prioritize your asks. • Severance norms & timing: what policies typically look like (e.g., 6–12 months in many cases), when to ask, and why it's safest through the recruiter. • Feeling underpaid? Building a data-backed case with market signals, peer benchmarks, recruiter insight—and how proxy statements can ground internal conversations. • Underwater equity & team morale: acknowledging pain, reframing to a long-term vision, and understanding annual equity refresh dynamics (timing matters). • Do the 5-year cash-flow analysis: compare current state vs. new offer (vesting, cliffs, bridge needs) so you don't get surprised in Year 1–2. • Today's relocation reality: mortgage-rate math and why moves can be financially punitive—plan your package accordingly. • Offer etiquette & reputation risk: why turning down a written offer is a red flag on process—and why reneging after signing can follow you. • Be ready for the AI question: every senior marketing interview now probes AI use cases, impact, and CFO alignment—have crisp examples.Sponsored by QuadMarketing only works when everything works together.

In this episode of Scratch, Ariel Kelman, President & CMO of Salesforce, shows how a category leader can still think like a challenger through the power of education, not persuasion. Education beats persuasion when you make community the flywheel: by pairing product truth with peer proof through events like Dreamforce, Trailhead, and forums, so customers learn how to win with your product (not just why it's great). That mindset turns advocacy into momentum.But teaching only lands if the tech actually works in the flow of “work”, so Ariel's rule is being able to put data before demos. He emphasizes the need to harmonize and govern customer data in Data Cloud so AI agents have context, then deploy them where they matter. For example, a product Q&A agent spun up in weeks drove 700k+ customer chats, and their website/service agents have resolved 1.6M cases because they understand real customer history, permissions, and next best actions.Finally, as a brand, you need to be Customer Zero and balance quick wins with long bets. Dogfood your offerings first to iterate fast and convert internal proofs into external playbooks, then scale what works. Watch the video version of this podcast on YouTube ▶️: https://youtu.be/92Rfv19ypQE

AEC marketing and business development are changing fast. In this episode, Deirdre Booth talks with Scott Butcher of Stambaugh Ness about what is reshaping the work today and what leaders need next.

Scott makes the case for true marketing leadership at the table, not just a new title, and offers a six month playbook that focuses on three use cases for AI, stronger BD and marketing alignment, and a habit of testing and learning.
