I sit down with Cody Schneider, growth engineer and co-founder of Graph, for a live, hands-on crash course in GTM (go-to-market) engineering powered by Claude Code. Cody walks through how he runs multiple AI agents simultaneously to handle everything from bulk Facebook ad creation and LinkedIn outreach to cold email campaigns and live data analysis — tasks that used to require a team of dozens. By the end of the episode, you'll have a full understanding of how to set up your own agent workflow, the specific tools involved, and why domain expertise paired with AI is the real competitive advantage right now. Cody's GTM Toolkit: AI/Agent Tools: Claude Code, Perplexity API, OpenAI Codex Marketing & Outreach: Instantly AI (cold email), Phantom Buster (LinkedIn scraping/automation), Apollo API (data enrichment), Million Verifier (email verification), Raphonic (podcast host scraping): Advertising: Facebook Ads API, Facebook Ads Library (competitor research), Nano Banana Pro (AI image generation), Kai AI (bulk image generation), HeyGen API (UGC/video generation) Infrastructure & Deployment: Railway.com (servers, on-the-fly databases/Postgres), Vercel (deployment) Data & Analytics: Graphed / Graphed MCP (data warehouse, live data feeds), Google Analytics 4 CRM & Communication: Salesforce (mentioned as comparison), Intercom, SendGrid API, Slack, Cal.com API Productivity & Design: Notion, Super Whisper (voice transcription), Claude Code front-end design skill, HTML to Canvas (for converting React components to PNGs) Timestamps 00:00 – Intro 02:02 – What Is GTM Engineering? 05:12 – Setting Up Your Agent Workspace & Environment File 07:54 – Live Demo: LinkedIn Auto-Responder 09:56 – Live Demo: Bulk Facebook Ad Generator 12:31 – Live Demo: Cold Email Campaign Automation (Raphonic + Instantly) 14:47 – Live Demo: Creating Notion Documents via Claude Code 16:46 – Live Demo: Bulk Ad Creative Generator 26:05 – Live Demo: LinkedIn Engagement Scraper to Cold Email Pipeline 28:16 – Context Switching Across Tasks 29:19 – Live Demo: Bulk Ad Generator 31:41 – Live Demo: Data Analysis: Turning Off Low-Performing Ads 35:28 – Summary of GTM Engineering Workflow 37:48 – Deploying Agents and On-the-Fly Databases with Railway for Data Analysis 41:28 – The Dream of Autonomous Marketing 48:50 – Building API-First Products and Agent-Native Infrastructure Key Points GTM engineering has evolved from Clay-style data enrichment workflows into full-stack agent orchestration — where one person running multiple Claude Code agents can replace the output of a large team. The practical setup starts with a single folder containing your environment file (API keys for every tool in your stack), transcription software like Super Whisper, and Claude Code. Cody demonstrates running seven or more agents simultaneously across LinkedIn outreach, Facebook ad creation, cold email campaigns, Notion document generation, and live data dashboards. Code-generated ad creative (React components exported as PNGs) costs nearly nothing to produce at scale and allows rapid testing of messaging variations before investing in polished visuals. Deploying proven workflows to Railway turns one-off agent tasks into always-on, autonomous processes that run 24/7. Domain expertise is the real multiplier — the vocabulary you bring from your field determines the quality of output you can extract from these tools.

Story Transcript:He: במדרכות האבן הצרות של צפת, ספוגות ברוח החורף הקריר, הסתובבו הדמויות המסתוריות והצבעוניות של פורים.En: On the narrow stone sidewalks of Tzfat, soaked with the cool winter breeze, the mysterious and colorful figures of Purim wandered.He: הרחובות היו מלאים בצלילים של שירים צוהלים וצחוק מתגלגל.En: The streets were filled with sounds of joyful songs and rolling laughter.He: יונתן עמד ליד פינת הכניסה לגלריה הקטנה שבה הציג את אומנותו.En: Yonatan stood by the entrance corner of the small gallery where he displayed his art.He: הגלריה הזו הייתה המקום היחיד בו הרגיש שהוא יכול לשלב בין מסורת האבות לאהבתו לאומנות.En: This gallery was the only place where he felt he could combine the traditions of his ancestors with his love for art.He: יונתן הביט לכיוון הרחובות, חושב על האתגר שניצב בפניו.En: Yonatan looked towards the streets, thinking about the challenge before him.He: המשפחה שלו הרגישה שהגיע הזמן שיצעד בנתיב המסורתי, אך ליבו נמשך לאמנות.En: His family felt it was time for him to step onto the traditional path, but his heart was drawn to art.He: בשנים האחרונות קיווה לשלב בין שני העולמות, אך הרגיש שנקרע בין רצונותיו לשמר את המורשת ולהיות אמן עצמאי.En: In recent years, he hoped to merge the two worlds, but felt torn between his desires to preserve heritage and to be an independent artist.He: בלב התמהיל הזה, אחותו הקטנה, אביבה, הופיעה מולו, צחקה ושיחקה כמו ילדה.En: In the midst of this blend, his younger sister, Aviva, appeared before him, laughing and playing like a child.He: ״פורים שמח, יונתן!En: "Happy Purim, Yonatan!"He: ״ היא קראה.En: she called out.He: האנרגיה שלה הדביקה את סביבתה, והיא הייתה חדורה במטרה לחבר בין כל בני המשפחה שהגיעו לאירוע.En: Her energy was infectious, and she was determined to connect all the family members who had come to the event.He: מאחור התקרבה שירה, ילדותו ממנה הוא נפרד לפני שנים.En: Behind her approached Shira, from his childhood, whom he parted ways with years ago.He: היא הייתה מחופשת למלכה מהאגדות, ומהבגד שלה הבריקו פנינים וסטנים.En: She was dressed as a fairy-tale queen, with pearls and satins shining from her costume.He: כשהיא התקרבה, יונתן חש ברטט בלב.En: As she approached, Yonatan felt a flutter in his heart.He: הוא היה זהיר מאוד, כי ידע שלשירה יש רגשות כלפיו עליהם מעולם לא דיברו.En: He was very cautious, knowing that Shira had feelings for him that they never spoke about.He: היא הביטה בו, עיניים מלאות חום ואמרה, ״יונתן, גלריה שלך מוצלחת מאוד.En: She looked at him, eyes full of warmth, and said, "Yonatan, your gallery is very impressive.He: אני בטוחה שהיום הכול ישתנה לטובה.En: I am sure today everything will change for the better."He: ״ היא חייכה חיוך קטן, כמו ממגנט את כל תשומת לבו.En: She gave a small smile, as if magnetizing all his attention.He: במהלך הפסטיבל, עטוף בריח המאפים ובקולות השוק, יונתן קיבל את ההודעה הלא צפויה: היצירה האהובה שלו הופיעה במרכז הבמה של האירוע המרכזי.En: During the festival, enveloped in the smell of pastries and the sounds of the market, Yonatan received an unexpected message: his favorite artwork was featured at the centerpiece of the main event.He: זה היה רגע שבו הכל התנקז והתחבר, והקהל עמד סביבו והביט ביצירה.En: It was a moment where everything converged and connected, with the crowd standing around him gazing at the artwork.He: הבחירה עמדה מולו ברורה יותר מתמיד.En: The choice stood before him clearer than ever.He: וההבנה, שבצפת ניתן לשמר את המורשת דרך אמצעים מודרניים – דרך אומנותו.En: And the understanding that in Tzfat, it is possible to preserve heritage through modern means—through his art.He: יונתן ידע שכאן הוא יכול לפעול וליצור במסגרת משפחתו והעיר האהובה עליו, בלי לוותר על חלומו.En: Yonatan knew that here he could act and create within the framework of his family and the city he loves, without giving up his dream.He: הוא ניגש אל בימת התצוגה, לוקח נשימה עמוקה, והכריז בקול יציב: ״אני נשאר בצפת.En: He approached the display stage, took a deep breath, and announced in a steady voice, "I am staying in Tzfat.He: האומנות והמשפחה – שתיהן חשובות לי.En: Both art and family are important to me.He: ואני אמצא דרך לשלב ביניהן.En: And I will find a way to combine them."He: ״בעוד הקהל מוחא כפיים ואביבה מחבקת אותו חזק, שירה עמדה לצד ונראה היה שרגשותיה קיבלו כיוון חדש, כזה שהוביל לחיבור אישי יותר בין החברים מאז היותם ילדים.En: As the crowd applauded and Aviva hugged him tightly, Shira stood aside, and it seemed her feelings took a new direction, one that led to a more personal connection between the friends since childhood.He: כך, באותו חורף קר בצפת, הבין יונתן שאפשר לשמור על המורשת המשפחתית דרך האומנות שלו, ולמצוא באושר את הסינתזה בין המסורת התמידית לחלום האישי.En: Thus, in that cold winter in Tzfat, Yonatan realized that it is possible to preserve the family heritage through his art, and to happily find the synthesis between eternal tradition and personal dream.He: זה היה הרגע בו חייו שינו את מסלולם החדש והוא הבין שהוא יכול להיות יונתן, בן המשפחה ואמן בו זמנית.En: It was the moment when his life changed its course, and he understood that he could be Yonatan, both a family member and an artist simultaneously.

Transcript:Nl: De koude wind blies zachtjes door het besneeuwde bos.En: The cold wind gently blew through the snowy forest.Nl: De Tranquil Temple lag stil te midden van hoge, kale bomen.En: The

Recorded on the fly during art fair week, live at NADA, this conversation with Dan Attoe moves from metal-kid origin stories to Zen meditation, daily practice, tattooing, landscape painting, and the unexpected turn toward writing a horror novel. Duncan opens with a personal note: a Dan Attoe painting has been hanging in his home for 22 years, a wedding gift that quietly embedded itself into the fabric of his life, which frames the conversation, and traces Attoe's arc from rural Idaho and northern Minnesota outsider to one of the most recognizable painters of his generation. Attoe talks about the seven-year run of making a painting every weekday, a discipline that functioned less as a productivity hack and more as a survival strategy. What began as wild, sex-and-drugs-and-rowdy-party imagery rooted in imagined social worlds gradually shifted toward the meditative landscapes he's now known for. These aren't observed sites but constructed psychic spaces, built from memory, attention, and what he calls a process of "composting" experience. Zen practice, daily drawing, and tattooing form a three-part studio structure that keeps the work in motion. Learning to tattoo on his own body sharpened his attention to contrast, permanence, and empathy, feeding directly back into the paintings. Along the way we get patches, skate culture, Methodist guilt, Barry McGee installations, Walker Art Center bookstore theory dives, and the long road from being told to abandon heavy-metal imagery to fully embracing it as the engine of a mature practice. The conversation closes on writing: how Stephen King, the Iowa Writers' Workshop, and decades of accumulated art-world experience led Attoe to channel theory, narrative, and lived history into a horror novel. It's a talk about attention, energy, and letting the work tell you what it needs to become.

Professional pickleball and professional banking aren't all that different, if you ask Chad Shane. The CEO of Canvas Credit Union builds culture like a coach would: leveraging a team's strengths and weaknesses, stressing collaboration, and finding the balance between cutting-edge technology and good old-fashioned hard work. Amid the rise in artificial intelligence, Shane is proud of the way Canvas has stuck to its values, prioritizing customer experience, a tight-knit staff and a close relationship with the broader community. On this episode of the Voices of Experience podcast, he reflects on his rise to the top position at Canvas, the skills he's had to develop and the approach he's taken to implement change.

Then the recently released Drupal CMS 2.0 could be just what you need. Module name/project name: Drupal CMS Brief history 2.0 release was created by phenaproxima less than a week ago, and requires Drupal 11.3 Maintainership Actively maintained Security coverage Test coverage Documentation guide linked in the show notes 145 issues on the development project, 24 of which are bugs Usage stats: No direct way to track, but drupal_cms_helper was added as a dependency late in the Drupal CMS 1.x cycle, so the fact that it has been installed 3,780 times likely indicates that Drupal CMS has been installed several thousand times at a minimum Module features and usage The biggest change in Drupal CMS 2 is the addition of Canvas for creating and managing layouts. We talked about Drupal Canvas in depth back in episode #518 so I won't go into too much detail here, but having it set up for you as an out-of-the-box feature is a big benefit Drupal CMS 1.0 included a carefully curated content architecture, including some optional recipes for additional capabilities. With version 2, the intent is for site templates to be the source of the content architecture. I'm sure we'll be hearing a lot more about site templates, including a marketplace where people can find them, in the coming and in particular with DrupalCon Chicago fast approaching Drupal CMS 2.0 also ships with much more sophisticated AI capabilities. There's a dedicated Canvas AI that can be used to generate and populate entire layouts, as well as generating code components, based on a user's prompt. And listeners may remember the demo in the Vienna Driesnote of using the Context Control Center to automatically create drafts of content updates when marketing information changes And of course, starting with Drupal core 11.3 means you'll get all the performance and other improvements in the latest version

Armin Molavi spent 20 years working in agencies before transitioning to client-side marketing at Hilton, then building a successful fractional CMO practice serving private equity-backed companies. Currently, he's the CMO at Instructure, which makes the ubiquitous learning management system Canvas."25 years of B2C, and this is my very first B2B gig, so I've been learning a lot," Armin says. "What's the saying? Like drinking from a fire hydrant?"But at a fundamental level, he explains, B2B is not so different from what he's spent most of his career doing."At the end of the day, I have to convince people that if they give up their budget for what I have to sell, it's going to make their life better at work," he adds. "That's what marketing is."Today on Building Better CMOs, Armin and Greg Stuart discuss what marketers should know about working with private equity firms, why agencies and clients both need to be better partners to each other, and the life-changing career advice he received from Kellyn Kenny. They also discuss why marketers need to drop the jargon and start connecting their work to enterprise value if they want a seat at the table.

There's an NPM library for that Module name/project name: Drupal Canvas CLI Brief history How old: created in July 2025 (as xb-cli originally) by Bálint Kléri (balintbrews) of Acquia Versions available: 0.6.2, and really only useful with Drupal Canvas, which works with Drupal core 11.2 Maintainership Actively maintained Number of open issues: 8 open issues, 2 of which are bugs, but one of which was marked fixed in the past week Usage stats: 128 weekly downloads according to npmjs.com Module features and usage With the Drupal Canvas CLI installed, you'll have a command line tool that allows you to download (export) components from Canvas into your local filesystem. There are options to download just the components, just the global css, or everything, and more. If no flags are provided, the tool will interactively prompt you for which options you want to use. There is also an upload command with a similar set of options. It's worth noting that the upload will also automatically run the build and validate commands, ensuring that the uploaded components will work smoothly with Drupal Canvas I thought this would be relevant to our topic today because with this tool you can create a React component with the aid of the AI integration available for Canvas and then sync that, either to a headless front end built in something like Next.js or Astro or a tool like Storybook; or you could use an AI-enhanced tool like Cursor IDE to build a component locally and then sync that into a Drupal site using Canvas There is a blog post Balint published that includes a demo, if you want to see this tool in action
Counted-canvas needlepoint is this week's technique and we got to talk about it with Kathy Rees, one of the best designers in that world. Kathy earned a business degree, got tired of the corporate world, worked with her parents in their needlework shop, then owned her own shop.

The numbers tell the story. For the 2023-24 school year, school districts accessed an average of 2,739 distinct edtech tools annually, an increase of 8% from the previous school year. This episode looks back at how educators navigated the flood of AI tools in classrooms in 2025—and looks ahead to what 2026 demands. We explore the rise of Agentic AI, from early chatbots to autonomous systems reshaping recruitment, communication, and curriculum at places like Arizona State University and companies such as Bloomz. We also confront hard questions about academic integrity raised by tools like Perplexity Comet and examine how efforts from Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and ISTE aim to restore rigor, trust, and AI literacy.

This is the first of a new needlepoint series we're calling Fiber Talk Canvas. The purpose of this video series (there will be a new video on the third Wednesday of each month) is to help people have success with needlepoint. To accomplish this, our focus will be on counted-canvas needlepoint. In our first show we talk about what we hope to accomplish with the series, stretcher bars and getting a canvas ready for stitching, and the projects we are working on as part of the series. All of the projects we are doing are available for free or can be purchased through some retail outlet, i.e., you don't need to take a class to do them. We hope you'll find this series informative and that it will prompt you to give needlepoint a try. Please let us know in the comment section if you have questions, suggestions for future shows, and/or ideas for topics you want covered.—Beth, Cindy, and Gary Links to items discussed in this show: Debbie Rowley's website, DebBee's Designs: https://debbeesdesigns.com/ American Needlepoint Guild: https://www.needlepoint.org/default.aspx CyberPointers: https://www.cyberpointers.org/ Anasazi Spirit (Gary's project): https://stitchplay.com/anasazi-spirit/ Poppers (Beth's project): https://needledelights.com/product/poppers/ Jeweled Valentine (Cindy's project): https://www.rainbowgallery.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Jeweled-Valentine.pdf Inchies (Beth's project back project): https://needledelights.com/product/inchies/ EverTite stretcher bars, Frame Lock corner devices, and tacks: http://www.needlestack.com/WebStore/Accessories/StretcherBars.html Adjust-A-Frame stretcher bars: Send email to adjustaframesales@gmail.com for price list.

Blue Canary Canvas is a needlepoint product and canvas design company, focused on innovating stitchable products for needlepointers, carrying exclusive canvases, and offering unique accessories. Home of theNDLPThat™ and theNDLPTbag™, Blue Canary offers a stitcher the ability to start a needlepoint project with a beautiful end product, and let the stitching make it one of a kind. What started as a brand new account on Instagram in October 2023 with zero social media presence, became in two years a headquarters for stitchable products and innovative self finishing ideas with 16,000 followers and over a million views. A self-described impatient needlepointer, owner and designer Sheila Salvitti couldn't understand why people were willing to wait 6, 9, even 12 months for a project to come back from a finisher, so she created her own finished products, but made them stitchable and easily accessible for stitchers of all levels.Support the show
