No matter how simple a metric's name makes it sound, the details are often downright devilish. What is a website visit? What is revenue? What is a customer? Go one level deeper with a metric like customer acquisition cost (CAC) or customer lifetime value (CLV or LTV, depending on how you acronym), and things can get messy in a hurry. In some cases, there are multiple "right" definitions, depending on how the metric is being used. In some cases, there are incentive structures to thumb the definitional scale one way or another. In some cases, a hastily made choice becomes a well-established, yet misguided, norm. In some cases, public companies simply throw their hands up and stop reporting a key metric! Dan McCarthy, Associate Professor of Marketing at the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland, spends a lot of time and thought culling through public filings and disclosures therein trying to make sense of metric definitions, so he was a great guest to have to dig into the topic!

This week on GTM Live, Carolyn sits down with Nick Flamini, host of the Sales Architecture Podcast, to explore the real reasons most go-to-market teams are still struggling—despite all the headcount, tools, and budget. They dig into the myth of “more BDRs = more pipeline,” and why most organizations are missing the data, architecture, and cross-functional alignment required to scale efficiently.Carolyn explains why “go-to-market bloat” is a symptom of deeper system issues, not bad people.

Que cache le business du funéraire ?C'est ce que Clémentine Piazza nous dévoile cette semaine dans le podcast PAUSE. À 27 ans, elle était la plus jeune CMO du CAC 40.Mais, en 2016, elle décide de briser ses menottes dorées pour fonder InMemori avec le besoin urgent de redonner du sens, de l'humanité, de la beauté au deuil... Et elle découvre les coulisses d'un secteur opaque, rarement remis en question, où la douleur des familles est souvent exploitée à prix d'or.  Que dit notre rapport de nous, de notre société, de nos tabous ? Comment expliquer que la marge soit plus importante sur les cercueils que sur le luxe ? Et comment faire autrement selon elle ?Dans cet épisode, on parle de deuil, bien sûr. Mais aussi de communautés, de beauté, de spiritualité, de cette étrange capacité qu'a la mort à révéler ce qu'il y a de plus vivant en nous... et du business fructueux qui s'y cache. Hébergé par Ausha.

*This episode mentions suicide and may be triggering for some listeners. This week, we’re diving into something truly transformative—the power of love to change everything. First, we hear from Father Richard Rohr, who shares his lifetime of wisdom about how experiencing deep, unconditional love—not rules or fear—is what really brings about meaningful change. Then, Pastor Zach Meerkreebs takes us to Asbury University, where a truly extraordinary event happened in that faith community. He reminds us that following Jesus’ example of humility can open our lives up to amazing possibilities.

Struggling with creative burnout? You're not alone. Most DTC brands do. They cycle through the same ad concepts, watch their CAC climb, and wonder why scaling feels impossible. In this episode, I break down the three distinct creative pipelines that power our 3,000+ monthly ad machine – systems any founder can implement regardless of team size. You'll discover why traditional creative approaches fail at scale, how to build self-replenishing content streams, and the exact framework we use to generate high-converting creative without endless production costs. Whether you're hitting a growth ceiling or planning your next phase of expansion, these three pipelines will transform how you approach creative forever. Stop treating content as a cost center and start building your own creative factory.P.S. Have any questions?

Send us a textHelp me improve the podcast by answering a few questions here.In this episode of Live Long and Well, I'm joined by Dr. Anthony Pearson, a board-certified cardiologist known for his evidence-based yet refreshingly skeptical take on mainstream cardiac care. Together, we explore the nuanced science behind heart health and how you can make smarter decisions to protect your cardiovascular system—starting today.We open by recognizing that heart disease remains the leading cause of death for both men and women. While many of the six pillars of longevity—from exercise to stress reduction—play protective roles, today's episode zooms in on two powerful, sometimes polarizing topics: the role of diet in heart health and the value of coronary artery calcium (CAC) scans.Dr. Pearson shares how a personal brunch conversation with his wife challenged decades of low-fat dietary dogma, prompting his transformation into the "Skeptical Cardiologist." Here is a summary showing that dairy won't increase risk of cardiovascular disease. He recounts the We dive into the broader saturated fat debate, highlighting how different fat sources have varied effects on cholesterol and cardiovascular risk. While dairy fats may be benign or even beneficial, others—particularly those consumed in excess on paleo or keto diets—can raise LDL cholesterol substantially. Dr. Pearson discusses the Keto-CAD Study, which found that even lean, low-risk keto followers may build up arterial plaque if their LDL levels skyrocket.The conversation then shifts to the calcium heart or CAC scan, a non-invasive $100 screening test that quantifies calcified coronary artery plaque via CT imaging. While traditional risk calculators like the pooled cohort equations often fall short, CAC scoring offers a personalized look at actual plaque burden—critical since many heart attacks occur in people not flagged as high-risk. As Dr. Pearson explains, a high score doesn't mean you will need surgery. Instead, it's typically a cue for lifestyle and medication adjustments, not invasive procedures. He references the ISCHEMIA Trial, which found no benefit from stenting stable, asymptomatic patients over optimized medical therapy.We close with practical advice: talk to your doctor, especially if you have a family history or fall in that “borderline risk” zone where a CAC score might influence your care plan. And yes, it should be okay to keep enjoying that butter—as long as you're informed and mindful and don't overdue it.Takeaways: Full-fat dairy is not the enemy—it may even be heart-protective. If your LDL skyrockets on keto, that's a red flag worth addressing. CAC scans can personalize your prevention plan and offer peace of mind or a critical nudge toward action. Want more clarity on your own heart health journey? Talk with your doctor about whether a calcium scan makes sense for you and explore Dr. Pearson's writings on The Skeptical Cardiologist and MedPage Today.

The Power of a Fractional CMO: Strategic Growth Without Full-Time Overhead In this episode, Michael sits down with Angela, a seasoned fractional Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), to explore the advantages of bringing in high-level marketing expertise—without the commitment of a full-time hire. They discuss how fractional CMOs provide strategic direction, prevent costly marketing missteps, and help businesses focus on core growth instead of getting lost in daily execution. Michael highlights the value of fresh, external perspectives, while Angela explains how a fractional CMO can also train and equip internal teams for long-term success. How Team Interaction Can Elevate Work Quality Angela shares a real-world leadership challenge: addressing the decline in a long-serving team member's performance. By increasing direct engagement, setting clearer priorities, and managing workload effectively, she helped turn things around—leading to improved work quality and renewed enthusiasm from the team member. Michael emphasizes the importance of leaders actively supporting their teams, organizing tasks more effectively, and creating environments where employees can thrive. Marketing Success Starts with Strong Foundations Michael and Angela break down the core principles of successful marketing strategies. Angela stresses the need for intentional action—focusing on the right marketing channels rather than chasing trends. Michael reinforces this with a striking statistic: 52% of Fortune 500 companies from 25 years ago no longer exist, largely due to unclear marketing and business strategies. Together, they discuss the importance of messaging clarity, customer attraction, and ongoing adaptation to stay competitive.   Website:  https://www.growthdirective.com/ LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelabfrank/ About Companies like 23andMe, Lemonaid Health, Aeroflow Healthcare, and Total Body Experts prove that health and wellness is a growing industry.

Today's show: Jason, Lon, and Alex break down a loaded week in tech: Apple's 27% App Store “link-out” fee gets shut down by a judge—unlocking margin for startups and slashing CAC; AI bots on Reddit's r/ChangeMyView are now 6x more effective than humans at changing minds, signaling a seismic shift in online discourse; and Beehiiv CEO Tyler Denk joins to discuss building in public, rapid product iteration, and the irony of being critiqued like a market leader for innovating too fast.

Lex interviews Josh Reeves, co-founder of Gusto, a company specializing in payroll, HR, and benefits solutions for small businesses. Josh shares his journey from academia to entrepreneurship, highlighting the challenges and strategies involved in building Gusto. The discussion covers the evolution of technology from Web 2.0, the importance of understanding customer needs, and maintaining strong unit economics. Josh emphasizes Gusto's mission to simplify payroll and HR tasks for small businesses, aiming to improve their survival rates and overall efficiency. The episode underscores the significance of product quality and customer satisfaction in navigating industry competition. Notable discussion points: 1. Solving Payroll as a Massive, Underserved SMB Pain Point: Reeves highlighted how in 2011, 40% of small businesses were fined annually due to manual payroll errors. Gusto addressed this pain using cloud and mobile tech, making payroll fast, accurate, and accessible—especially for non-experts. 2. Product Sequencing and the Power of a Payroll-Centric Ecosystem: Starting with payroll, Gusto built a sticky, horizontal product with strong retention. From there, they expanded into benefits, time tracking, and more—adding products based on customer pull and reinforcing their ecosystem. 3. Organizational Evolution: From Founder-Led to Functional and Matrixed: Gusto grew from 3 co-founders to 2,600+ employees by evolving from a hands-on team to a matrix structure. Reeves emphasized hiring leaders suited to each stage and giving small, focused teams autonomy to drive new product development. MENTIONED IN THE CONVERSATION Topics: Fintech, Gusto, Payroll, HR, Zazzle, SMB, CAC, Customer, Scaling, Growth, Web2.0 ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT
