Episode 404 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Ben Sesser, CEO & Co-Founder of BrightHire. Well this is a first… It's common to time my podcast interview around a milestone for a company like a funding announcement. But, this is the first time that in the span between my interview with the founder to the publishing date that the company announced its acquisition. Last week, BrightHire announced that the company has entered into an agreement to be acquired by Zoom. It certainly is a combination that makes a lot of sense. BrightHire is an interview intelligence platform. We saw its influence firsthand this past summer when VentureFizz hosted a series of AI job searching events. Talent acquisition leaders consistently mentioned BrightHire as the most-adopted application—a signal that immediately led me to reach out to Ben for this interview. As Ben shares, when they started, "interview intelligence" was a brand new category in hiring, and they faced plenty of doubters. But fast-forward to today, and much like the success of companies like Gong for sales teams, BrightHire's value is now obvious. But isn't that the case for all great companies in hindsight? BrightHire's investors include Flybridge, Index Ventures, 01 Advisors, Zoom Apps Fund, and others.

On this week's episode of Inklings we go over the talk by Gerrit W. Gong: No One Sits Alone
Ist Klang einfach nur Wellness oder kann über Vibration echte spirituelle Transformation geschehen? Was vielleicht als etwas esoterisch belächelt wird, ist auch in einem gut reformierten Gottesdienst vertreten: Die Klänge der Orgel berühren unsere Körper, das gemeinsame Singen lässt uns vibrieren. Beides ist eine Form von Vagusnerv-Aktivierung, des grössten Nervs vom parasympathischen Teil unseres Nervensystems – jenem Teil, der uns ausruhen und auf allen Ebenen verdauen lässt. Doch was, wenn über Klänge alte Verletzungen hochgespült werden? Soll man das einfach geschehen lassen oder braucht es sorgfältige Integrationspraktiken? Patrick und ich teilen persönliche Geschichten, Beobachtungen aus unserer Arbeit und die Unterschiede zwischen einem Rave und einem Klangbad.

An unwritten rule, at least until now, of the show is, if you show up with a theme song you can call it a segment. Greg's Addiction is kind of like Three For Thursday, except with only one artist. On our premiere episode… there's no other way to put it, Greg is hooked on Geese.Songs:Terje Rypdal - “Sunrise”Geese - “Mysterious Love (Live)”Geese - “2122 (Live)”Geese - “Taxes (Live)”What's cooking this week in Jay's Jambalaya? Former Grateful Dead member Donna Godchaux dies at the age of 78. Spotify sued over Drake play count, and the top earning posthumous musicians of the past year.Song: Daniel Santiago & Kurt Rosenwinkel - “Gesture”Jay & Nick caught DOOM GONG in Westminster, MD last week. Nick brings us Tales from the Concert. In short, DOOM GONG is awesome (as is Shamboogi)!Song: DOOM GONG - “Dream Behemoth”
What's up everyone today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Jane Menyo, Sr. Director, Solutions & Customer Marketing @ Gong.(00:00) - Jane-audio (01:01) - In This Episode (04:43) - How Solutions Marketing Turns Customer Insights Into Strategy (09:22) - Using AI to Mine Real Customer Intelligence from Conversations (13:18) - Why Stitching Research Sequences Works in Customer Marketing (17:09) - Using AI Trackers to Uncover Buyer Behavior in Sales Conversations (23:21) - How Standardized Prompts Improve Sales Enablement Systems (29:43) - Building Messaging Systems That Scale Across Industries (34:15) - How Gong's Research Assistant Slack Bot Delivers Instant Customer Proof (38:26) - Avoiding Mediocre AI Marketing Research (43:42) - Why Customer Proof Outperforms AI-Generated Marketing (45:41) - Why Rest Strengthens Creative Output in Marketing Summary: Jane built her marketing practice around listening. At Gong, she turned raw customer conversations into a live feedback system that connects sales calls, product strategy, and messaging in real time. Her team uses AI to surface patterns from the field and feed them back into content that actually reflects how people buy. She runs on curiosity and recovery, finding her best ideas mid-run. In a world obsessed with producing more, Jane's work reminds marketers to listen better. The smartest strategies start in the quiet moments when someone finally hears what the customer's been saying all along.About JaneJane Menyo leads Solutions and Customer Marketing at Gong, where she's known for fusing strategy with storytelling to turn customers into true advocates. She built Gong's customer marketing engine from the ground up, scaling programs that drive adoption, retention, and community impact across the company's revenue intelligence ecosystem.Before Gong, Jane led customer and solutions marketing at ON24, where she developed go-to-market playbooks and launched large-scale advocacy initiatives that connected customer voice to product innovation. Earlier in her career, she helped shape demand generation and brand strategy at Comprehend Systems (a Y Combinator and Sequoia-backed life sciences startup) laying the operational groundwork that fueled growth.A former NCAA All-American and U.S. Olympic Trials contender, Jane brings a rare blend of discipline, creativity, and competitive energy to her leadership. Her approach to marketing is grounded in empathy and powered by data; a balance that turns customer stories into growth engines.How Solutions Marketing Turns Customer Insights Into StrategyJane's role at Gong evolved from building customer advocacy programs to leading both customer and solutions marketing. What began as storytelling and adoption work expanded into shaping how Gong positions its products for different personas and industries. The shift moved her from celebrating customer wins to architecting how those wins inform the company's broader go-to-market strategy.Persona marketing only works when it goes beyond demographics and titles. Jane treats it as an operational system that connects customer understanding with product truth. Her team studies how real people use Gong, where they get stuck, what outcomes they care about, and how their teams actually make buying decisions. Those details guide every message Gong sends into the market. It is a constant feedback loop that keeps the company close to how customers think and work.Her solutions marketing team functions like a mirror to product marketing. Product marketers focus on what the product can do, while Jane's team translates that into why it matters to specific audiences. They do not write from feature lists. They write from the field. When a sales manager spends half her day in Gong but still struggles to coach reps efficiently, Jane's team crafts stories and materials that speak directly to that pain. The goal is to make every communication feel like it was written from inside the customer's daily workflow.“Our work is about meeting customers where they are and helping them get to outcomes faster,” Jane said.That perspective only works when every team in the company has equal access to the customer's voice. Gong's own technology makes that possible. Conversations, feedback, and usage patterns are captured and shared automatically, so customer knowledge is no longer limited to those on the front lines. Jane's group uses that visibility to deepen persona profiles, test new positioning, and identify emerging trends before they reach scale. It makes the company more responsive and keeps messaging grounded in real behavior instead of assumption.For anyone building customer marketing systems, the lesson is practical. Treat persona development as a live system, not a static report. Use customer data to update your understanding regularly. Create tools that let everyone in your company hear what customers say in their own words. That way you can write content, sales materials, and product messaging that actually aligns with how people buy, not how you wish they did.Key takeaway: Persona marketing works when it functions as an always-on loop between customer data and company action. Map real behaviors, refresh those insights often, and share them widely. When everyone in your company hears the customer directly, you can shape messaging that feels relevant, personal, and authentic. That way you can scale customer understanding instead of guessing at it.Using AI to Mine Real Customer Intelligence from ConversationsAI is reshaping how teams understand their customers. Jane uses it as a force multiplier for customer research, not a replacement for human interpretation. Her process starts inside Gong's platform, where every call, email, and deal interaction holds untapped evidence of what customers actually think. Instead of relying on small surveys or intuition, her team digs into those real conversations to extract patterns that explain why deals move forward or stall.When the team explores a new persona or market, they begin with what customers have already said. They gather every interaction tied to that persona and run it through a standardized set of research questions. In one project focused on CIOs, Jane's team analyzed hundreds of calls to understand how these executives engage in deals. They wanted to know what information CIOs request, what they challenge, and how their questions differ from other buyers.“We were able to run a series of questions across hundreds of calls and get standardized insights in a couple of days,” Jane said. “That changed the tempo of how we learn.”Once they finish mining internal conversations, they widen their view to external data. They use AI tools like ChatGPT to scan analyst reports, trade publications, and articles that mention the same personas. That process identifies what topics are rising in the market and how those trends align with what Gong's customers are discussing in their calls. The result is a dual-layered map of reality: what customers say in private conversations and what the market signals in public forums.This kind of research produces better decisions because it pairs scale with nuance. AI speeds up analysis across thousands of data points, but empathy gives meaning to those patterns. That way you can identify where customer perception shifts are happening and adjust messaging, enablement, or product focus before the market catches up.Key takeaway: Use AI to process the noise, not to replace your judgment. Start with the data you already have; call recordings, customer emails, and deal transcripts, and create a structured framework for what you want to learn. Th...
Send us a textAre you uncomfortable talking about money with prospects? You're not alone. In this episode, Bill and Bryan tackle one of the biggest challenges sales professionals face: bringing up price, cost, and economic conversations without the anxiety and uncertainty that usually comes with it.Whether you're dealing with technology sales, competitive situations, or demonstrating clear ROI, this episode gives you the confidence to talk about money like the professional you are.Key insights from this episode include:• Why bringing up price early (ideally in the first or second call) leads to better win rates, according to Gong's research data• The importance of establishing economic value before discussing price—and why you're the problem if you can't explain the ROI of your solution• How to have the "math conversation" collaboratively with prospects, showing them when an investment doesn't make sense for their current situation• When to disqualify a prospect based on revenue and business readiness (and why this is actually helping them, not manipulating them)• The fatal mistake of saying "I have no idea" when asked about pricing—and what to say instead=================================Is it time to make a BOLD move in your business?

A (relatively) in-depth analysis of English synth-pop band Blancmange (as well as some other general stuff) in (just over) thirty minutes.Formed in Harrow, London, in 1979 by vocalist Neil Arthur and instrumentalists Stephen Luscombe and Laurence Stevens, the group's name derived from the milky pudding of the same name. Stevens left shortly after the band was formed, and Arthur and Luscombe continued as a duo. They released their first EP, Irene and Mavis in 1980, but widespread exposure came via the track 'Sad Day' featuredon the Some Bizzare compilation album released in 1981. This led to them signing with London Records. Luscombe passed away in 2025 and this episode is dedicated to his contribution to the arts and culture.This is also the final episode of Season 4. Season 5 will begin in February 2026 when I hope you will join us again for more cultural rummaging.To make a classic blancmange, you combine milk, sugar, and a thickening agent (typically cornstarch or gelatin), flavour it with vanilla or other essences, cook until thickened, and then chill until set.

Renegade Thinkers Unite: #2 Podcast for CMOs & B2B Marketers
By the time you implement “best practices,” they've become boring practices, and B2B sure doesn't mean boring to business. In this episode, Drew talks with Udi Ledergor (Gong), author of Courageous Marketing, the book that challenges B2B marketers to stop playing it safe. Together, they explore what it means to lead with creativity, confidence, and courage. Udi also shares how Gong earned attention by building an audience that wanted to engage, not just be targeted. With every executive, from the CEO to the CFO, invested in the story, marketing became a company-wide advantage instead of a department. Three B2B Marketing Traps Udi Warns Against: Following industry best practices instead of breaking them Letting marketing own brand alone Hiring for experience over potential Plus: The punch-above-your-weight framework that makes a startup look enterprise-ready Why brand must be led by the CEO and modeled across the exec team How to hire for curiosity, learning speed, and potential How to sell the 95–5 content mindset to your CEO and CFO If you're done blending in, this conversation will remind you why courage still wins in B2B. Udi will be speaking at the CMO Super Huddle in Palo Alto on November 7th, 2025. All attendees will receive a complimentary copy of his book, Courageous Marketing, and can get it signed in the morning!

What makes a product launch actually land? And why do so many fall flat? Daniel's OUT, Tamara's IN. She sits down with marketing leader Julien Savauge to unpack the difference between a launch and a go-to-market strategy, why most teams treat “launch day” as the end when it should be the beginning, and how great marketers use story to shift perception. So what matters more: release dates or momentum? Julien shares lessons from his time at Salesforce, Gong, and beyond, reveals why pre-launch momentum matters more than release dates, how to avoid internal misalignment, and why launches fail when they're built from the inside out. If you've ever wrestled with a launch that didn't hit its mark, struggled to get cross-functional buy-in, or wondered how to make your messaging actually resonate, this is the episode for you.

In Episode 99, I do something a little different: I take you behind the scenes as I use ChatGPT in voice mode to design a real automation from start to finish. The goal? Build an internal chatbot for product and engineering that's trained on CX call transcripts stored in Gong, so teams can ask targeted questions (“What's frustrating customers in Module X?”) and get instant, concise answers with deep links back to the exact call moments.You'll hear how I frame the problem, push the model to avoid hallucinations, and pick a stack that balances speed, privacy, and scale: Gong → Airtable as the searchable store → a Zapier-hosted chatbot for querying. We also cover transcript hygiene (auto-removing small talk and personal details), vendor privacy considerations, and a simple habit hack: having AI remind you later to actually implement the ideas you generated while walking the dog.I'll link the step-by-step PDF I asked ChatGPT to generate in the show notes so you can follow along and adapt it to your environment.If this sparks ideas for your own digital CX programs, follow/subscribe and drop a review—it really helps more practitioners find the show.Support the show+++++++++++++++++Like/Subscribe/Review:If you are getting value from the show, please follow/subscribe so that you don't miss an episode and consider leaving us a review.

Most sellers tend to get caught up in the technical side—asking the “right” questions, handling objections, and checking all the boxes. But in the process, we often overlook something just as important: the emotional side of selling. That's why I invited Alex Kremer, founder of Alluviance, to join me. He breaks down how the right mindset can help you close more deals and build lasting relationships.Meet Alex Kremer· Alex Kremer is the Founder of Alluviance, a community and organization dedicated to transforming sales and leadership through authenticity, purpose, and performance. · With over 15 years of experience, he has worked with top companies like Salesforce, AWS, and Gong, and played a key role in scaling Outreach from $25M to $250M. · He's hired, trained, and led over 100 Account Executives and Sales Managers, earning President's Club honors 7 years in a row.· Alex is known for helping leaders build high-performing teams and purpose-driven cultures that achieve lasting results.Beyond the Tactics: The Role of Mindset in Sales Success· Alex pulls back the curtain on his journey, opening up about the hidden struggles he faced even when he seemed most successful. · Despite hitting top quotas and leading major accounts at Microsoft, he battled depression, highlighting a key truth: salespeople can meet every external standard and still feel empty inside. · Alex explains how mental, emotional, and even spiritual health are often overlooked but absolutely crucial to sustainable, fulfilling sales success.Practical Strategies: Filling the Void and Mastering the Inner Game· Alex introduces the concept of “parts work,” a therapeutic approach to identifying and relating to various emotions without self-judgment. · He stresses the importance of self-awareness, inviting reps to treat their emotional states with the same curiosity as they would a sales prospect in discovery. · Simple practices like mindful breathing, walks without phones, and reflective journaling can create the internal space needed for clarity.Leadership in Action: Bringing Mindfulness Into Sales Teams· For sales leaders, Alex suggests starting meetings with grounding exercises such as box breathing or gratitude practices. · Investing a few minutes in presence and connection sets a more productive tone than jumping straight to numbers.“When you connect more deeply with yourself, it allows you to connect more deeply with other people, which is very interwoven with sales.” - Alex Kremer.ResourcesAlex's company, Alluviance, hosts regular retreats blending sales tactics with inner game work.

There's concerns tramadol could be getting over-prescribed, with more patients being given the painkiller. Pharmac data shows more than 270,000 people were prescribed the drug last year - an increase of 14 percent since 2019. UOA School of Pharmacy lecturer Dr Jay Gong says healthcare providers likely prefer prescribing tramadol over stronger painkillers. "There might be some perceived ideas around it - because it's a weaker opioid, it's maybe not as addictive and maybe in the long run, you might not have as much side effects."

In this episode, Devin Reed, one of the leading voices in content and marketing, opens up about the defining moments that shaped his career—from growing up between two very different cultures in Sacramento to building a name for himself at Eventbrite, Gong, and Clari before stepping out on his own. He shares candid stories of career pivots, from giving up on his dream of teaching to unexpectedly landing in tech sales, and later realizing his sweet spot in content marketing. Devin reflects on the sting of being graded a “seven” at a company that recruited him aggressively, the intimidation of being told he wasn't qualified for his role at just 25, and the burnout he faced after tying too much of his worth to productivity.Now as a founder, creator, and dad, he talks about learning to measure success not in metrics but in moments—balancing ambition with presence, and re-wiring what it means to “win” in both business and life.In this conversation, you'll learn:- Why it's essential to question feedback and define your own worth- How to recognize poor leadership and build a healthier leadership style- What it takes to reset old wiring around ambition and successThings to listen for:(00:00) Intro(01:59) Devin's upbringing and early career(02:47) Transition to marketing and entrepreneurship(03:01) Facing challenges and finding success(06:33) Pivotal career moments(08:08) Thank you to our sponsor, Navattic(11:33) Navigating tough feedback(17:17) The impact of therapy and self-worth(21:28) Dealing with imposter syndrome(26:46) Realizing the importance of empathy in leadership(28:40) Learning from coaches and mentors(34:48) Balancing work and personal life(38:50) Implementing new habits and boundaries(46:20) Setting goals for fulfillment and happiness(49:25) Caution in advice and embracing relatabilityA huge thanks to this episode's sponsor:Navattic: Interactive Product Demo Software - https://navattic.com/value Resources:Connect with Devin:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/devinreed/The Reeder (official website): https://www.thereeder.coReed Between The Lines (podcast): https://www.thereeder.co/content-hub/podcastConnect with Andrew:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewcapland/ Substack: https://media.deliveringvalue.coHire Andrew as your coach: https://deliveringvalue.co/coachingJoin Growth OS: https://deliveringvalue.co/growth-operating-system
Grandpa Bill talks about Qi Gong-Hello and thank you for tuning into "Workouts for Geriatrics, AKA, Silver Streakers, Good for All Kids from 1-92!" I'm your host, Grandpa Bill, and today on the BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour Podcast, we're diving into a practice that's as ancient as it is effective for a long and healthy life: Qi Gong.Now, you might have heard of Tai Chi, but Qi Gong is its close cousin, and in many ways, its parent. The name itself is a clue: "Qi" (pronounced "chee") is the life force or energy that flows through our bodies, and "Gong" means cultivation or work. So, Qi Gong is the art of cultivating and working with our life energy.An Overview of Qi GongSo, what exactly does a Qi Gong session look like? Well, it's not about breaking a sweat or lifting heavy weights. It's about slow, mindful movements, coordinated with deep, diaphragmatic breathing. Think of it as a moving meditation.The core principles are:Gentle Movement: The movements are soft, fluid, and circular. We're not pushing our bodies to their limits; we're coaxing them into a state of balance.Mindfulness: The mind is focused on the body, on the breath, and on the feeling of Qi flowing. This helps to calm the nervous system and reduce stress.Deep Breathing: We breathe from the belly, not the chest. This helps to oxygenate the blood, calm the mind, and energize the body.Example: The Wall ExerciseNow, for a simple and effective Qi Gong exercise you can do right now, I'm going to teach you "The Wall Exercise." All you need is a wall.Find your spot: Stand with your back against a wall, about a foot away.Slide down: Slowly slide your back down the wall until your knees are bent at a 90-degree angle, as if you're sitting in an invisible chair. Make sure your back is flat against the wall.Breathe deeply: As you hold this position, breathe deeply and slowly. Feel the strength in your legs, but also the calm in your mind.Rise up: After a few breaths, slowly and gently push yourself back up the wall to a standing position.Repeat: Do this a few times, increasing the hold time as you feel more comfortable.This exercise is fantastic for building leg strength, improving balance, and calming the mind. It's safe, effective, and can be done by anyone, no matter their age or fitness level.Why Qi Gong is a perfect workout for "Silver Streakers"Joint-friendly: The slow, gentle movements are easy on the joints, making it a great alternative to high-impact exercises.Improves balance: Many Qi Gong exercises focus on balance, which is crucial for preventing falls as we age.Reduces stress: The combination of mindful movement and deep breathing is a powerful stress-reliever.Increases energy: By cultivating Qi, we can increase our vitality and energy levels, helping us to feel younger and more vibrant.So, whether you're 19 or 92, Qi Gong has something to offer. It's a journey into your own inner energy, a way to connect with your body and mind, and a path to a healthier, more balanced life.#QiGong,#GeriatricFitness,#GrandpaBill,#SilverStreakers,#WorkoutsForGeriatrics,#HolisticHealing,#BHSalesKennelKelpHolisticHealingHour,#MindfulMovement,#Longevity,#AncientWisdom,
