Dr Monteith: Hi, this is Dr Teshamae Monteith. Today I'm interviewing Dr Aileen Antonio about her article on clinical features and diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension, which appears in the June 2025 Continuum issue on disorders of CSF dynamics.  Hi, how are you? Dr Antonio: Hi, good afternoon. Dr Monteith: Thank you for being on the podcast. Dr Antonio: Thank you for inviting me, and it's such an honor to write for the Continuum. Dr Monteith: So why don't you start off with introducing yourself? Dr Antonio: So as mentioned, I'm Aileen Antonio. I am a neuro-ophthalmologist, dually trained in both ophthalmology and neurology. I'm practicing in Grand Rapids, Michigan Trinity Health, and I'm also the associate program director for our neurology residency program. Dr Monteith: So, it sounds like the residents get a lot of neuro-ophthalmology by chance in your curriculum. Dr Antonio: For sure. They do get fed that a lot. Dr Monteith: So why don't you tell me what the objective of your article was? Dr Antonio: Yes. So idiopathic intracranial hypertension, or IIH, is a condition where there's increased intracranial pressure, but without an obvious cause. And with this article, we want our readers---and our listeners right now---to recognize that the typical symptoms and learning about the IIH diagnostic criteria are key to avoiding errors, overdiagnosis, or sometimes even misdiagnosis or underdiagnosis. Thus, we help make the most of our healthcare resources. Early diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent disability from intractable headaches or even vision loss, and it's also important to know when to refer the patients to the appropriate specialists early on. Dr Monteith: So, it sounds like your central points are really getting that diagnosis early and managing the patients and knowing how to triage patients to reduce morbidity and complications. Is that correct? Dr Antonio: That is correct and very succinct, yes. Dr Monteith: And so, are there any more recent advances in the diagnosis of IIH? Dr Antonio: Yes. And one of the tools that we've been using is what we call the optical coherence tomography. A lot of people, neurologists, physicians, PCP, ER doctors; how many among those physicians are well-versed in doing an eye exam, looking at the optic disc? And this is a great tool because it is noninvasive, it is high resolution imaging technique that allows us to look at the optic nerve without even dilating the eye. And we can measure that retinal nerve fiber layer, or RNFL; and that helps us quantify the swelling that is visible or inherent in that optic nerve. And we can even follow that and monitor that over time. So, this gives us another way of looking at their vision and getting that insight as to how healthy is their vision still, along with the other formal visual tests that we do, including perimetry or visual field testing. And then all of these help in catching potentially early changes, early worsening, that may happen; and then we can intervene more easily. Dr Monteith: Great. So, it sounds like there's a lot of benefits to this newer technology for our patients. Dr Antonio: That is correct. Dr Monteith: So, I read in the article about the increased incidence of IIH, and I have to say that I completely agree with you because I'm seeing so much of it in my clinic, even as a headache specialist. And I had a talk with a colleague who said that the incidence of SIH and IIH are similar. And I was like, there's no way. Because I see, I can see several people with IIH just in one day. That's not uncommon. So, tell me what your thoughts are on the incidence, the rising incidence of IIH; and we understand that it's the condition associated with obesity, but it sounds like you have some other underlying drivers of this problem. Dr Antonio: Yes, that is correct. So, as you mentioned, IIH tends to affect women of childbearing age with obesity. And it's interesting because as you've seen that trend, we see more of these IIH cases recently, which seem to correlate with that rising rate of obesity. And the other thing, too, is that this trend can readily add to the burden of managing IIH, because not only are we dealing with the headaches or the potential loss of vision, but also it adds to the burden of healthcare costs because of the other potential comorbidities that may come with it, like cardiovascular risk factors, PCOS, and sleep apnea. Dr Monteith: So why don't we just talk about the diagnosis of IIH? Dr Antonio: IIH, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, is also called pseudotumor cerebri.  It's essentially a condition where a person experiences increased intracranial pressure, but without any obvious cause. And the tricky part is that the patients, they're usually fully awake and alert. So, there's no obvious tumor, brain tumor or injury that causes the increased ICP. It's really, really important to rule out other conditions that might cause these similar symptoms; again, like brain tumors or even the cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. Many patients will have headaches or visual disturbances like transient visual obscurations---we call them TVOs---or double vision or diplopia. The diplopia is usually related to a sixth nerve palsy or an abducens palsy. Some may also experience some back pain or what we call pulsatile tinnitus, which is that pulse synchronous ringing in their ears. The biggest sign that we see in the clinic would be that papilledema; and papilledema is a term that we only use, specifically use, for those optic nerve edema changes that is only associated with increased intracranial pressure. So, performing of endoscopy and good eye exam is crucial in these patients. We usually use the modified Dandy criteria to diagnose IIH. And again, I cannot emphasize too much that it's really important to rule out other secondary causes to that increased intracranial pressure. So, after that thorough neurologic and eye evaluation with neuroimaging, we do a lumbar puncture to measure the opening pressure and to analyze the cerebrospinal fluid. Dr Monteith: One thing I learned from your article, really just kind of seeing all of the symptoms that you mentioned, the radicular pain, but also- and I think I've seen some papers on this, the cognitive dysfunction associated with IIH. So, it's a broader symptom complex I think than people realize. Dr Antonio: That is correct. Dr Monteith: So, you mentioned TVOs. Tell me, you know, if I was a patient, how would you try and elicit that from me? Dr Antonio: So, I would usually just ask the patient, while you're sitting down just watching TV---some of my patients are even driving as this happens---they would suddenly have these episodes of blacking out of vision, graying out of vision, vision loss, or blurred vision that would just happen, from seconds to less than a minute, usually. And they can happen in one eye or the other eye or both eyes, and even multiple times a day. I had a patient, it was happening 50 times a day for her. It's important to note that there is no pain associated with it most of the time. The other thing too is that it's different from the aura that patients with migraines would have, because those auras are usually scintillating and would have what we call the positive phenomena: the flashing lights, the iridescence, and even the fortification that they see in their vision. So definitely TVOs are not the migraine auras. Sometimes the TVOs can also be triggered by sudden changes in head positions or even a change in posture, like standing up quickly. The difference, though, between that and, like, the graying out of vision or the tunneling vision associated with orthostatic hypotension, is that the orthostatic hypotension would also have that feeling of lightheadedness and dizziness that would come with it. Dr Monteith: Great. So, if someone feels lightheaded, less likely to be a TVO if they're bending down and they have that grain of vision. Dr Antonio: That is correct. Dr Monteith: Definitely see patients like that in clinic. And if they have fluoride IIH, I'm like, I'll call it a TVO; if they don't, I'm like, it's probably more likely to be dizziness-related. And then we also have patient migraines that have blurriness that's nonspecific, not necessarily associated with aura. But I think in those patients, it's usually not seconds long, it's usually probably longer episodes of blurriness. Would you agree there, or…? Dr Antonio: I would agree there, and usually the visual aura would precede the headache that is very characteristic of their migraine, very stereotypical for their migraines. And then it would dissipate slowly over time as well. With TVOs, they're brisk and would not last, usually, more than a minute. Dr Monteith: So, why don't we talk about routine imaging? Obviously, ordering an MRI, and I read also getting an MRV is important. Dr Antonio: It is very important because, one: I would say IIH is also a diagnosis of exclusion. We need to make sure that the increased ICP is not because of a brain tumor or not because of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. So, it's important to get the MRI of the brain as well as the MRV of the head. Dr Monteith: Do you do that for all patients' MRV, and how often do you add on an orbital study? Dr Antonio: I usually do not add on an orbital study because it's not really going to change my management at that point. I really get that MRI of the brain. Now the MRV, for most of my patients, I would order it already just because the population that I see, I don't want to lose them. And sometimes it's that follow-up, and that is the difficult part; and it's an easy add on to the study that I'm going to order. Again, it depends with the patient population that you have as well, and of course the other symptoms that may come with it. Dr Monteith: So, why don't we talk a little bit about CSF reading and how these set values, because we get people that have readings of 250 millimeters of water quite frequently and very nonspecific, questionable IIH. And so, talk to me about the set value. Dr Antonio: Right. So, the modified Dandy criteria has shown that, again, we consider intracranial pressure to be elevated for adults if it's above 250 millimeters water; and then for kids if it's above 280 millimeters of water. Knowing that these are taken in the left lateral decubitus position, and assuming also that the patients were awake and not sedated during the measurement of the CSF pressure. The important thing to know about that is, sometimes when we get LPs under fluoroscopy or under sedation, then these can cause false elevation because of the hypercapnia that elevated carbon dioxide, and then the hypoventilation that happens when a patient is under sedation. Dr Monteith: You know, sometimes you see people with opening pressures a little bit higher than 25 and they're asymptomatic. Well, the problem with these opening pressure values is that they can vary somewhat even across the day. People around 25, you can be normal, have no symptoms, and have opening pressure around 25- or 250; and so, I'm just asking about your approach to the CSF values. Dr Antonio: So again, at the end of the day, what's important is putting everything together. It's the gestalt of how we look at the patient. I actually had an attending tell me that there is no patient that read the medical textbook. So, the, the important thing, again, is putting everything together. And what I've also seen is that some patients would tell me, oh, I had an opening pressure of 50. Does that mean I'm in a dire situation? And they're so worried and they just attach to numbers. And for me, what's important would be, what are your symptoms? Is your headache, right, really bad, intractable? Number two: are you losing vision, or are you at that cusp where your optic nerve swelling or papilledema is so severe that it may soon lead to vision loss? So, putting all of these together and then getting the neuroimaging, getting the LP. I tell my residents it's like icing on the cake. We know already what we're dealing with, but then when we get that confirmation of that number… and sometimes it's borderline, but this is the art of neurology. This is the art of medicine and putting everything together and making sure that we care and manage it accordingly. Dr Monteith: Let's talk a little bit about IIH without papilledema. Dr Antonio: So, let's backtrack. So, when a patient will fit most of the modified Dandy criteria for IIH, but they don't have the papilledema or they don't have abducens palsy, the diagnosis then becomes tricky. And in these kinds of cases, Dr Friedman and her colleagues, when they did research on this, suggested that we might consider the diagnosis of IIH. And she calls this idiopathic intracranial hypertension without papilledema, IIHWOP. They say that if they meet the other criteria for modified Dandy but show at least three typical findings on MRI---so that flattening of the posterior globe, the tortuosity of the optic nerves, the empty sella or the partially empty sella, and even the narrowing of the transverse venous sinuses---so if you have three of these, then potentially you can call these cases as idiopathic intracranial hypertension without papilledema. Dr Monteith: Plus, the opening pressure elevation. I think that's key, right? Getting that as well. Dr Antonio: Yes. Sometimes IIHWOP may still be a gray area. It's a debate even among neuro-ophthalmologists, and I bet even among the headache specialists. Dr Monteith: Well, I know that I've had some of these conversations, and it's clear that people think this is very much overdiagnosed. So, that's why I wanted to plug in the LP with that as well. Dr Antonio: Right. And again, we have not seen yet whether is, this a spectrum, right? Of that same disease just manifesting differently, or are they just sharing a same pathway and then diverging? But what I want to emphasize also is that the treatment trials that we've had for IIH do not include IIHWOP patients. Dr Monteith: That is an important one. So why don't you wrap this up and tell our listeners what you want them to know? Now's the time. Dr Antonio: So, the- again, with IIH, with idiopathic intracranial hypertension, what is important is that we diagnose these patients early. And I think that some of the issues that come into play in dealing with these patients with IIH is that, one: we may have anchoring bias. Just because we see a female with obesity, of reproductive age, with intractable headaches, it does not always mean that what we're dealing with is IIH. The other thing, too, is that your tools are already available to you in your clinic in diagnosing IIH, short of the opening pressure when you get the lumbar puncture. And I need to emphasize the importance of doing your own fundoscopy and looking for that papilledema in these patients who present to you with intractable headaches or abducens palsy. What I want people to remember is that idiopathic intracranial hypertension is not optic nerve sheath distension. So, these are the stuff that you see on neuroimaging incidentally, not because you sent them, because they have papilledema, or because they have new headaches and other symptoms like that. And the important thing is doing your exam and looking at your patients. Dr Monteith: Today, I've been interviewing Dr Aileen Antonio about her article on clinical features and diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension, which appears in the most recent issue of Continuum on disorders of CSF dynamics. Be sure to check out Continuum Audio episodes from this and other issues, and thank you to our listeners for joining today. Thank you again. Dr Antonio: Thank you.

In this episode of PhotoWork with Sasha Wolf, Sasha welcomes two extraordinary guests: artist and curator Justine Kurland and Marina Chao, a curator at CPW. Together, they discuss their collaboration on The Rose, an exhibition that explores collage as a feminist form, strategy, and genealogy. Featuring works by over fifty contemporary artists and key figures from the 1960s and 1970s, the exhibition examines collage as both a means of world-building and a survival strategy in times of crisis. Sasha, Justine, and Marina delve into the layered responsibilities of artists and discuss the assumption that interpreting a straightforward photograph is inherently simpler than reading and interpreting conceptual art. https://www.justinekurland.com https://cpw.org/staff/ https://cpw.org/exhibition/the-rose/ Justine Kurland is an artist known for her utopian photographs of American landscapes and the fringe communities, both real and imagined, that inhabit them. Her early work comprises photographs, taken during many cross-country road trips, that counter the masculinist mythology of the American landscape, offering a radical female imaginary in its place. Her recent series of collages, SCUMB Manifesto, continues to make space for women by transforming books by canonized male photographers through destruction and reparation. Kurland's work has been exhibited at museums and galleries in the United States and abroad. Her work is included in permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Carnegie Museum, Pennsylvania; Getty Museum, California; National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; and the Museum of Fine Arts, Montreal, among others. She works with Higher Pictures in New York. Marina Chao has previously held curatorial positions at the International Center of Photography and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. As assistant curator at ICP she organized the exhibition Multiply, Identify, Her (2018) and contributed to the publication Public, Private, Secret: On Photography and the Configuration of Self (Aperture and ICP, 2018). She was awarded a 2019 Curatorial Research Fellowship from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts for Seeing Meaning, a project exploring the intersections of image, language, and technology.

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, there is so much in the AI world to talk about. One of the things that came out recently that I think is worth discussing, because we can talk about the basics of good prompting as part of it, Katie, is a paper from Apple. Apple’s AI efforts themselves have stalled a bit, showing that reasoning models, when given very complex puzzles—logic-based puzzles or spatial-based puzzles, like moving blocks from stack to stack and getting them in the correct order—hit a wall after a while and then just collapse and can’t do anything. So, the interpretation of the paper is that there are limits to what reasoning models can do and that they can kind of confuse themselves. On LinkedIn and social media and stuff, Christopher S. Penn – 00:52 Of course, people have taken this to the illogical extreme, saying artificial intelligence is stupid, nobody should use it, or artificial general intelligence will never happen. None of that is within the paper. Apple was looking at a very specific, narrow band of reasoning, called deductive reasoning. So what I thought we’d talk about today is the paper itself to a degree—not a ton about it—and then what lessons we can learn from it that will make our own AI practices better. So to start off, when we talk about reasoning, Katie, particularly you as our human expert, what does reasoning mean to the human? Katie Robbert – 01:35 When I think, if you say, “Can you give me a reasonable answer?” or “What is your reason?” Thinking about the different ways that the word is casually thrown around for humans. The way that I think about it is, if you’re looking for a reasonable answer to something, then that means that you are putting the expectation on me that I have done some kind of due diligence and I have gathered some kind of data to then say, “This is the response that I’m going to give you, and here are the justifications as to why.” So I have some sort of a data-backed thinking in terms of why I’ve given you that information. When I think about a reasoning model, Katie Robbert – 02:24 Now, I am not the AI expert on the team, so this is just my, I’ll call it, amateurish understanding of these things. So, a reasoning model, I would imagine, is similar in that you give it a task and it’s, “Okay, I’m going to go ahead and see what I have in my bank of information for this task that you’re asking me about, and then I’m going to do my best to complete the task.” When I hear that there are limitations to reasoning models, I guess my first question for you, Chris, is if these are logic problems—complete this puzzle or unfurl this ball of yarn, kind of a thing, a complex thing that takes some focus. Katie Robbert – 03:13 It’s not that AI can’t do this; computers can do those things. So, I guess what I’m trying to ask is, why can’t these reasoning models do it if computers in general can do those things? Christopher S. Penn – 03:32 So you hit on a really important point. The tasks that are in this reasoning evaluation are deterministic tasks. There’s a right and wrong answer, and what they’re supposed to test is a model’s ability to think through. Can it get to that? So a reasoning model—I think this is a really great opportunity to discuss this. And for those who are listening, this will be available on our YouTube channel. A reasoning model is different from a regular model in that it thinks things through in sort of a first draft. So I’m showing DeepSeq. There’s a button here called DeepThink, which switches models from V3, which is a non-reasoning model, to a reasoning model. So watch what happens. I’m going to type in a very simple question: “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” Katie Robbert – 04:22 And I like how you think that’s a simple question, but that’s been sort of the perplexing question for as long as humans have existed. Christopher S. Penn – 04:32 And what you see here is this little thinking box. This thinking box is the model attempting to solve the question first in a rough draft. And then, if I had closed up, it would say, “Here is the answer.” So, a reasoning model is essentially—we call it, I call it, a hidden first-draft model—where it tries to do a first draft, evaluates its own first draft, and then produces an answer. That’s really all it is. I mean, yes, there’s some mathematics going on behind the scenes that are probably not of use to folks listening to or watching the podcast. But at its core, this is what a reasoning model does. Christopher S. Penn – 05:11 Now, if I were to take the exact same prompt, start a new chat here, and instead of turning off the deep think, what you will see is that thinking box will no longer appear. It will just try to solve it as is. In OpenAI’s ecosystem—the ChatGPT ecosystem—when you pull down that drop-down of the 82 different models that you have a choice from, there are ones that are called non-reasoning models: GPT4O, GPT4.1. And then there are the reasoning models: 0304 mini, 04 mini high, etc. OpenAI has done a great job of making it as difficult as possible to understand which model you should use. But that’s reasoning versus non-reasoning. Google, very interestingly, has moved all of their models to reasoning. Christopher S. Penn – 05:58 So, no matter what version of Gemini you’re using, it is a reasoning model because Google’s opinion is that it creates a better response. So, Apple was specifically testing reasoning models because in most tests—if I go to one of my favorite websites, ArtificialAnalysis.ai, which sort of does a nice roundup of smart models—you’ll notice that reasoning models are here. And if you want to check this out and you’re listening, ArtificialAnalysis.ai is a great benchmark set that wraps up all the other benchmarks together. You can see that the leaderboards for all the major thinking tests are all reasoning models, because that ability for a model to talk things out by itself—really having a conversation with self—leads to much better results. This applies even for something as simple as a blog post, like, “Hey, let’s write a blog post about B2B marketing.” Christopher S. Penn – 06:49 Using a reasoning model will let the model basically do its own first draft, critique itself, and then produce a better result. So that’s what a reasoning model is, and why they’re so important. Katie Robbert – 07:02 But that didn’t really answer my question, though. I mean, I guess maybe it did. And I think this is where someone like me, who isn’t as technically inclined or isn’t in the weeds with this, is struggling to understand. So I understand what you’re saying in terms of what a reasoning model is. A reasoning model, for all intents and purposes, is basically a model that’s going to talk through its responses. I’ve seen this happen in Google Gemini. When I use it, it’s, “Okay, let me see. You’re asking me to do this. Let me see what I have in the memory banks. Do I have enough information? Let me go ahead and give it a shot to answer the question.” That’s basically the synopsis of what you’re going to get in a reasoning model. Katie Robbert – 07:48 But if computers—forget AI for a second—if calculations in general can solve those logic problems that are yes or no, very black and white, deterministic, as you’re saying, why wouldn’t a reasoning model be able to solve a puzzle that only has one answer? Christopher S. Penn – 08:09 For the same reason they can’t do math, because the type of puzzle they’re doing is a spatial reasoning puzzle which requires—it does have a right answer—but generative AI can’t actually think. It is a probabilistic model that predicts based on patterns it’s seen. It’s a pattern-matching model. It’s the world’s most complex next-word prediction machine. And just like mathematics, predicting, working out a spatial reasoning puzzle is not a word problem. You can’t talk it out. You have to be able to visualize in your head, map it—moving things from stack to stack—and then coming up with the right answers. Humans can do this because we have many different kinds of reasoning: spatial reasoning, musical reasoning, speech reasoning, writing reasoning, deductive and inductive and abductive reasoning. Christopher S. Penn – 09:03 And this particular test was testing two of those kinds of reasoning, one of which models can’t do because it’s saying, “Okay, I want a blender to fry my steak.” No matter how hard you try, that blender is never going to pan-fry a steak like a cast iron pan will. The model simply can’t do it. In the same way, it can’t do math. It tries to predict patterns based on what’s been trained on. But if you’ve come up with a novel test that the model has never seen before and is not in its training data, it cannot—it literally cannot—repeat that task because it is outside the domain of language, which is what it’s predicting on. Christopher S. Penn – 09:42 So it’s a deterministic task, but it’s a deterministic task outside of what the model can actually do and has never seen before. Katie Robbert – 09:50 So then, if I am following correctly—which, I’ll be honest, this is a hard one for me to follow the thread of thinking on—if Apple published a paper that large language models can’t do this theoretically, I mean, perhaps my assumption is incorrect. I would think that the minds at Apple would be smarter than collectively, Chris, you and I, and would know this information—that was the wrong task to match with a reasoning model. Therefore, let’s not publish a paper about it. That’s like saying, “I’m going to publish a headline saying that Katie can’t run a five-minute mile; therefore, she’s going to die tomorrow, she’s out of shape.” No, I can’t run a five-minute mile. That’s a fact. I’m not a runner. I’m not physically built for it. Katie Robbert – 10:45 But now you’re publishing some kind of information about it that’s completely fake and getting people in the running industry all kinds of hyped up about it. It’s irresponsible reporting. So, I guess that’s sort of my other question. If the big minds at Apple, who understand AI better than I ever hope to, know that this is the wrong task paired with the wrong model, why are they getting us all worked up about this thing by publishing a paper on it that sounds like it’s totally incorrect? Christopher S. Penn – 11:21 There are some very cynical hot takes on this, mainly that Apple’s own AI implementation was botched so badly that they look like a bunch of losers. We’ll leave that speculation to the speculators on LinkedIn. Fundamentally, if you read the paper—particularly the abstract—one of the things they were trying to test is, “Is it true?” They did not have proof that models couldn’t do this. Even though, yes, if you know language models, you would know this task is not well suited to it in the same way that they’re really not suited to geography. Ask them what the five nearest cities to Boston are, show them a map. They cannot figure that out in the same way that you and I use actual spatial reasoning. Christopher S. Penn – 12:03 They’re going to use other forms of essentially tokenization and prediction to try and get there. But it’s not the same and it won’t give the same answers that you or I will. It’s one of those areas where, yeah, these models are very sophisticated and have a ton of capabilities that you and I don’t have. But this particular test was on something that they can’t do. That’s asking them to do complex math. They cannot do it because it’s not within the capabilities. Katie Robbert – 12:31 But I guess that’s what I don’t understand. If Apple’s reputation aside, if the data scientists at that company knew—they already knew going in—it seems like a big fat waste of time because you already know the answer. You can position it, however, it’s scientific, it’s a hypothesis. We wanted to prove it wasn’t true. Okay, we know it’s not true. Why publish a paper on it and get people all riled up? If it is a PR play to try to save face, to be, “Well, it’s not our implementation that’s bad, it’s AI in general that’s poorly constructed.” Because I would imagine—again, this is a very naive perspective on it. Katie Robbert – 13:15 I don’t know if Apple was trying to create their own or if they were building on top of an existing model and their implementation and integration didn’t work. Therefore, now they’re trying to crap all over all of the other model makers. It seems like a big fat waste of time. When I—if I was the one who was looking at the budget—I’m, “Why do we publish that paper?” We already knew the answer. That was a waste of time and resources. What are we doing? I’m genuinely, again, maybe naive. I’m genuinely confused by this whole thing as to why it exists in the first place. Christopher S. Penn – 13:53 And we don’t have answers. No one from Apple has given us any. However, what I think is useful here for those of us who are working with AI every day is some of the lessons that we can learn from the paper. Number one: the paper, by the way, did not explain particularly well why it thinks models collapsed. It actually did, I think, a very poor job of that. If you’ve worked with generative AI models—particularly local models, which are models that you run on your computer—you might have a better idea of what happened, that these models just collapsed on these reasoning tasks. And it all comes down to one fundamental thing, which is: every time you have an interaction with an AI model, these models are called stateless. They remember nothing. They remember absolutely nothing. Christopher S. Penn – 14:44 So every time you prompt a model, it’s starting over from scratch. I’ll give you an example. We’ll start here. We’ll say, “What’s the best way to cook a steak?” Very simple question. And it’s going to spit out a bunch of text behind the scenes. And I’m showing my screen here for those who are listening. You can see the actual prompt appearing in the text, and then it is generating lots of answers. I’m going to stop that there just for a moment. And now I’m going to ask the same question: “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” Christopher S. Penn – 15:34 The history of the steak question is also part of the prompt. So, I’ve changed conversation. You and I, in a chat or a text—group text, whatever—we would just look at the most recent interactions. AI doesn’t do that. It takes into account everything that is in the conversation. So, the reason why these models collapsed on these tasks is because they were trying to solve it. And when they’re thinking aloud, remember that first draft we showed? All of the first draft language becomes part of the next prompt. So if I said to you, Katie, “Let me give you some directions on how to get to my house.” First, you’re gonna take a right, then you take a left, and then you’re gonna go straight for two miles, and take a right, and then. Christopher S. Penn – 16:12 Oh, wait, no—actually, no, there’s a gas station. Left. No, take a left there. No, take a right there, and then go another two miles. If I give you those instructions, which are full of all these back twists and turns and contradictions, you’re, “Dude, I’m not coming over.” Katie Robbert – 16:26 Yeah, I’m not leaving my house for that. Christopher S. Penn – 16:29 Exactly. Katie Robbert – 16:29 Absolutely not. Christopher S. Penn – 16:31 Absolutely. And that’s what happens when these reasoning models try to reason things out. They fill up their chat with so many contradicting answers as they try to solve the problem that on the next turn, guess what? They have to reprocess everything they’ve talked about. And so they just get lost. Because they’re reading the whole conversation every time as though it was a new conversation. They’re, “I don’t know what’s going on.” You said, “Go left,” but they said, “Go right.” And so they get lost. So here’s the key thing to remember when you’re working with any generative AI tool: you want to keep as much relevant stuff in the conversation as possible and remove or eliminate irrelevant stuff. Christopher S. Penn – 17:16 So it’s a really bad idea, for example, to have a chat where you’re saying, “Let’s write a blog post about B2B marketing.” And then say, “Oh, I need to come up with an ideal customer profile.” Because all the stuff that was in the first part about your B2B marketing blog post is now in the conversation about the ICP. And so you’re polluting it with a less relevant piece of text. So, there are a couple rules. Number one: try to keep each chat distinct to a specific task. I’m writing a blog post in the chat. Oh, I want to work on an ICP. Start a new chat. Start a new chat. And two: if you have a tool that allows you to do it, never say, “Forget what I said previously. And do this instead.” It doesn’t work. Instead, delete if you can, the stuff that was wrong so that it’s not in the conversation history anymore. Katie Robbert – 18:05 So, basically, you have to put blinders on your horse to keep it from getting distracted. Christopher S. Penn – 18:09 Exactly. Katie Robbert – 18:13 Why isn’t this more common knowledge in terms of how to use generative AI correctly or a reasoning model versus a non-reasoning model? I mean, again, I look at it from a perspective of someone who’s barely scratching the surface of keeping up with what’s happening, and it feels—I understand when people say it feels overwhelming. I feel like I’m falling behind. I get that because yes, there’s a lot that I can do and teach and educate about generative AI, but when you start to get into this kind of minutiae—if someone opened up their ChatGPT account and said, “Which model should I use?”—I would probably look like a deer in headlights. I’d be, “I don’t know.” I’d probably. Katie Robbert – 19:04 What I would probably do is buy myself some time and start with, “What’s the problem you’re trying to solve? What is it you’re trying to do?” while in the background, I’m Googling for it because I feel this changes so quickly that unless you’re a power user, you have no idea. It tells you at a basic level: “Good for writing, great for quick coding.” But O3 uses advanced reasoning. That doesn’t tell me what I need to know. O4 mini high—by the way, they need to get a brand specialist in there. Great at coding and visual learning. But GPT 4.1 is also great for coding. Christopher S. Penn – 19:56 Yes, of all the major providers, OpenAI is the most incoherent. Katie Robbert – 20:00 It’s making my eye twitch looking at this. And I’m, “I just want the model to interpret the really weird dream I had last night. Which one am I supposed to pick?” Christopher S. Penn – 20:10 Exactly. So, to your answer, why isn’t this more common? It’s because this is the experience almost everybody has with generative AI. What they don’t experience is this: where you’re looking at the underpinnings. You’ve opened up the hood, and you’re looking under the hood and going, “Oh, that’s what’s going on inside.” And because no one except for the nerds have this experience—which is the bare metal looking behind the scenes—you don’t understand the mechanism of why something works. And because of that, you don’t know how to tune it for maximum performance, and you don’t know these relatively straightforward concepts that are hidden because the tech providers, somewhat sensibly, have put away all the complexity that you might want to use to tune it. Christopher S. Penn – 21:06 They just want people to use it and not get overwhelmed by an interface that looks like a 747 cockpit. That oversimplification makes these tools harder to use to get great results out of, because you don’t know when you’re doing something that is running contrary to what the tool can actually do, like saying, “Forget previous instructions, do this now.” Yes, the reasoning models can try and accommodate that, but at the end of the day, it’s still in the chat, it’s still in the memory, which means that every time that you add a new line to the chat, it’s having to reprocess the entire thing. So, I understand from a user experience why they’ve oversimplified it, but they’ve also done an absolutely horrible job of documenting best practices. They’ve also done a horrible job of naming these things. Christopher S. Penn – 21:57 Ironically, of all those model names, O3 is the best model to use. Be, “What about 04? That’s a number higher.” No, it’s not as good. “Let’s use 4.” I saw somebody saying, “GPT 401 is a bigger number than 03.” So 4:1 is a better model. No, it’s not. Katie Robbert – 22:15 But that’s the thing. To someone who isn’t on the OpenAI team, we don’t know that. It’s giving me flashbacks and PTSD from when I used to manage a software development team, which I’ve talked about many times. And one of the unimportant, important arguments we used to have all the time was version numbers. So, every time we released a new version of the product we were building, we would do a version number along with release notes. And the release notes, for those who don’t know, were basically the quick: “Here’s what happened, here’s what’s new in this version.” And I gave them a very clear map of version numbers to use. Every time we do a release, the number would increase by whatever thing, so it would go sequentially. Katie Robbert – 23:11 What ended up happening, unsurprisingly, is that they didn’t listen to me and they released whatever number the software randomly kicked out. Where I was, “Okay, so version 1 is the CD-ROM. Version 2 is the desktop version. Versions 3 and 4 are the online versions that don’t have an additional software component. But yet, within those, okay, so CD-ROM, if it’s version one, okay, update version 1.2, and so on and so forth.” There was a whole reasoning to these number systems, and they were, “Okay, great, so version 0.05697Q.” And I was, “What does that even mean?” And they were, “Oh, well, that’s just what the system spit out.” I’m, “That’s not helpful.” And they weren’t thinking about it from the end user perspective, which is why I was there. Katie Robbert – 24:04 And to them that was a waste of time. They’re, “Oh, well, no one’s ever going to look at those version numbers. Nobody cares. They don’t need to understand them.” But what we’re seeing now is, yeah, people do. Now we need to understand what those model numbers mean. And so to a casual user—really, anyone, quite honestly—a bigger number means a newer model. Therefore, that must be the best one. That’s not an irrational way to be looking at those model numbers. So why are we the ones who are wrong? I’m getting very fired up about this because I’m frustrated, because they’re making it so hard for me to understand as a user. Therefore, I’m frustrated. And they are the ones who are making me feel like I’m falling behind even though I’m not. They’re just making it impossible to understand. Christopher S. Penn – 24:59 Yes. And that, because technical people are making products without consulting a product manager or UI/UX designer—literally anybody who can make a product accessible to the marketplace. A lot of these companies are just releasing bare metal engines and then expecting you to figure out the rest of the car. That’s fundamentally what’s happening. And that’s one of the reasons I think I wanted to talk through this stuff about the Apple paper today on the show. Because once we understand how reasoning models actually work—that they’re doing their own first drafts and the fundamental mechanisms behind the scenes—the reasoning model is not architecturally substantially different from a non-reasoning model. They’re all just word-prediction machines at the end of the day. Christopher S. Penn – 25:46 And so, if we take the four key lessons from this episode, these are the things that will help: delete irrelevant stuff whenever you can. Start over frequently. So, start a new chat frequently, do one task at a time, and then start a new chat. Don’t keep a long-running chat of everything. And there is no such thing as, “Pay no attention to the previous stuff,” because we all know it’s always in the conversation, and the whole thing is always being repeated. So if you follow those basic rules, plus in general, use a reasoning model unless you have a specific reason not to—because they’re generally better, which is what we saw with the ArtificialAnalysis.ai data—those five things will help you get better performance out of any AI tool. Katie Robbert – 26:38 Ironically, I feel the more AI evolves, the more you have to think about your interactions with humans. So, for example, if I’m talking to you, Chris, and I say, “Here are the five things I’m thinking about, but here’s the one thing I want you to focus on.” You’re, “What about the other four things?” Because maybe the other four things are of more interest to you than the one thing. And how often do we see this trope in movies where someone says, “Okay, there’s a guy over there.” “Don’t look. I said, “Don’t look.”” Don’t call attention to it if you don’t want someone to look at the thing. I feel more and more we are just—we need to know how to deal with humans. Katie Robbert – 27:22 Therefore, we can deal with AI because AI being built by humans is becoming easily distracted. So, don’t call attention to the shiny object and say, “Hey, see the shiny object right here? Don’t look at it.” What is the old, telling someone, “Don’t think of purple cows.” Christopher S. Penn – 27:41 Exactly. Katie Robbert – 27:41 And all. Christopher S. Penn – 27:42 You don’t think. Katie Robbert – 27:43 Yeah. That’s all I can think of now. And I’ve totally lost the plot of what you were actually talking about. If you don’t want your AI to be distracted, like you’re human, then don’t distract it. Put the blinders on. Christopher S. Penn – 27:57 Exactly. We say this, we’ve said this in our courses and our livestreams and podcasts and everything. Treat these things like the world’s smartest, most forgetful interns. Katie Robbert – 28:06 You would never easily distract it. Christopher S. Penn – 28:09 Yes. And an intern with ADHD. You would never give an intern 22 tasks at the same time. That’s just a recipe for disaster. You say, “Here’s the one task I want you to do. Here’s all the information you need to do it. I’m not going to give you anything that doesn’t relate to this task.” Go and do this task. And you will have success with the human and you will have success with the machine. Katie Robbert – 28:30 It’s like when I ask you to answer two questions and you only answer one, and I have to go back and re-ask the first question. It’s very much like dealing with people. In order to get good results, you have to meet the person where they are. So, if you’re getting frustrated with the other person, you need to look at what you’re doing and saying, “Am I overcomplicating it? Am I giving them more than they can handle?” And the same is true of machines. I think our expectation of what machines can do is wildly overestimated at this stage. Christopher S.

Sales Gravy: Jeb Blount
Top Sales Pros Know When to Exit Bad Deals (Money Monday)

Sales Gravy: Jeb Blount

Play Episode Listen Later Jun 9, 2025 9:29


Have you ever been working on a deal where you had this feeling, this intuition, this Spidey sense—something in the back of your mind telling you that this wasn't going to close? That you were going to waste your time? Maybe you had one of the stakeholders who was against you—an enemy. There was a naysayer who kept calling you out. Perhaps the stakeholders weren't engaged, or the incumbent vendor was so integrated into the organization that it would be very difficult to displace them. Whatever the case, you knew in the back of your mind that you weren't going to close the deal. But you kept working on it anyway. You rode that puppy to the ocean floor like the Titanic that it was. If you've done this, and I know you have, take heart because we've all been there. We've all had these situations, and we've later regretted them.  Top Sales Pros are Quick to Walk Away From Bad Deals  One of the traits of Ultra-High Performers that has always been true is that they're very quick to walk away from a deal they can't close—a deal where they've concluded that the probability of winning is so low it doesn't meet their threshold. The reason Ultra-High Performers walk away from deals like this is simple: They know that the greatest waste of their time is investing it with the wrong prospect. The time they invest in a prospect that's not going to close is money down the drain, because it's time they can't focus on a deal that will close. But average salespeople? They hang on—hoping against hope that somehow, miraculously, things will turn around. In sales, awareness matters. You must always know where the exit is. There are two primary reasons why salespeople work on deals that are never going to close. Understanding these reasons is the first step to avoiding the trap. Reason #1: The Failure to Qualify Properly Too often, qualifying is treated like a one-and-done activity. We qualify the opportunity against our ICP. We qualify the numbers, budget, timing, urgency, and whether we're talking to a decision-maker with buying authority.  These are all quantifiable metrics that we can measure and check off our list.  But Ultra-High Performers take qualifying to the next level. Rather than making it a quick process, they understand that qualifying is never done. It's an ongoing process of awareness that keeps you tethered to reality in every deal. And their top qualifier, once they've checked off the must-haves, is engagement. Are the stakeholders engaged? Are they leaning in? Are they matching your effort, answering questions, and working collaboratively with you? It's okay that there are some stakeholders who may be naysayers. That's normal in complex deals. But if you've got stakeholders who are enemies—people who are actively working against you—then your deal might be a bridge too far.  Engagement is my No. 1 qualifier. I'm constantly asking questions and giving stakeholders things to do to see whether or not they're engaged. If they're not engaged, I walk away because lack of engagement is a clear signal that you are not going to close the deal.  Reason #2: An Empty Pipeline This brings us to the second reason salespeople stay in bad deals—desperation born from an empty pipeline. On Friday, Dennis J. Walker, who is a benefits consultant with USI, posted something on LinkedIn that perfectly captures this dynamic. Here's exactly what he wrote: Jeb Blount regularly states that you can't be delusional about your pipe, your prospects, your efforts, etc and be successful as a salesperson. This week one of the larger deals in my pipe definitely didn't progress the way I wanted- and it turns out one of the executives is what I call a "deal enemy" - he was actively working against me and my team. The last two meetings I've had with him tipped me off this could be the case; this week we had an incident that indicated he was actively working against us. Because my pipe is full?

Before joining Recurly, Nick served as Chief Revenue Officer at Cayuse, where he led the global sales organization and helped the company achieve record revenue growth through new customer sales and geographic expansion. In this episode… Understanding your ideal customer profile can make or break your B2B SaaS growth strategy. Without clarity around who you're selling to, it's easy to waste time, miss revenue targets, and stall your momentum. So how often should companies revisit and refine their ICP to keep pace with a fast-changing market? According to Nick Naso, a seasoned revenue leader with deep experience in scaling SaaS companies, companies should formally reevaluate their ICP at least once or twice a year. He highlights the importance of ongoing data analysis to inform micro-adjustments before larger shifts are needed. This kind of consistent review ensures sales teams focus on high-fit prospects and avoid spending resources on poor matches. The result is tighter alignment, faster sales cycles, and stronger pipeline efficiency. He also emphasizes that fit is everything: the right customer at the right time drives not only sales, but long-term success. In this episode of the Revenue Engine Podcast, host Alex Gluz is joined by Nick Naso, Chief Revenue Officer at Recurly, to discuss why a sharp ICP is central to B2B SaaS growth. They explore how to identify ICP signals from pipeline data, when to make structural changes in your team to match your market, and why sales success starts with strategic focus. Nick also shares insights on leading cross-functional teams and building a culture of revenue ownership.

Early-stage investors look for different data points, and their feedback can be invaluable in understanding market signals.[00:06:11] The importance of prioritizing technology components based on customer pain points and the potential to generate immediate revenue.[00:07:44] Recognizing a recurring pattern in sales discussions where customers react positively to specific functionalities is a sign of repeatability and scalability.[00:09:05] Founders who want to remain deeply involved in the sales process need guidance on when to step back. It's a common challenge in early-stage startups.[00:12:42] Breaking down a grand vision into bite-sized chunks of value that address specific business problems is crucial for achieving repeatability and market success.[00:13:30] Expanding the vision is essential but keeping the framework simple enough for the market and sales team to understand and execute is key to early-stage success.[00:13:50] The importance of focusing sales efforts on the most productive areas and avoiding the mistake of spreading sales teams too thin.HIGHLIGHT QUOTES[00:06:56] "When you start to recognize a recurring pattern...you start to say, 'Now I have some sense of repeatability,' and that's really important."[00:10:08] "There's a huge difference between a first and second-time founder...you need to help them understand that stepping away is an important part of growing the business."[00:13:01] "Recognize you've got to break that big vision down into bite-sized chunks that can be digested by your go-to-market team and by the market, by customers."[00:13:30] "Where are we going to place our salespeople?

Think about everything that's changed in social since 2015. If you make a list, influencer marketing would be pretty high on it.  This episode's guest, Robyn Nissim, has seen the influencer marketing space grow since then. From building Ulta's first influencer program to working as the Head of Social Media at brands like Alo and Anastasia Beverly Hills, it's all about connection. Who is your influencer connecting with? Where would you like to drive them to? Who is the IT girl of the moment, and could we possibly work together? It's all about working with what you have, your budget, and optimizing from there.  And, a large part of influencer marketing is alignment. It's more than just showing a fitness influencer wearing a matching set: you have to look at the content they've already posted and if it aligns with your mission. If not, you could set yourself up for disaster.  Plus, what's the best way to build an influencer campaign? There is no right way, according to Robyn. What role does paid media have? Turns out, it can be a gamble. While it's a pay-to-play entity, it can't guarantee lifetime value or even purchases from your ICP.  If you're a marketer who wants to learn more about the inner workings of influencer marketing, this is the episode for you.  Let's face it—consumers don't trust ads, but they do trust their favorite creator, that go-to review site, or a friend's recommendation. That's where impact.com comes in. As the leading partnership management platform, impact.com helps brands turn creators, affiliates, and even loyal customers into powerful growth channels. Because in today's world, the real buyer's journey isn't a funnel—it's a group chat. Visit impact.com/millennial and take your marketing to the next level!

There's No One Way of SellingEveryone is always asking me, “What's the number one method of selling?” If you want my honesty, there isn't one.From all of my interviews, I've found that it's best to focus on who you're going to sell to and how to break through the noise to grab their attention.I also recommend just testing out the different sales methods we share on this podcast. If it works for you, great; if it doesn't, then try another one.2. Always Be ProspectingI'm a firm believer that a seller should always be prospecting, even when you're closing deals. If you have options in the sales pipeline, great. But you should also always be figuring out how you can do a better job at sales prospecting to keep prospects coming to you.3. Accountability Moves Sales ForwardI've heard this over and over again from my countless conversations: sales reps need that one-on-one time so they can stay accountable.I share a story about how an old manager of mine stopped her one-on-one time with me. This caused me to slip up and make little mistakes from not receiving coaching.4. Be on LinkedInLinkedIn will always be a powerful tool in helping you find and close deals. I've found that when sellers aren't using LinkedIn correctly, they tend to struggle with prospecting.Connect, share, and engage on LinkedIn and see how your sales pipeline starts building.5. Address Objections FirstIf you don't handle the “nos” first, they'll be an issue later. Going back to episode 446, Tom Gates shares how easing a customer's objection can increase your win rate.Don't be afraid to bring it up; doing so will let you circle back when the prospect is ready to close a deal or prevent having unnecessary clients in your pipeline.6. Little Things WorkBob Berg shares details on how to get endless referrals, and he does this by just going the extra mile. Make yourself memorable by simply sending handwritten notes. The little things actually do work when trying to build your network.7. Sales Is About RelationshipsThere's so much information out there, and if you're not making things personal, prospects aren't going to connect with you.Go back to episode 1898; I share how relevancy and personalization give you a higher response rate. In the world of AI, no one wants robotic messages.8. Make Buying EasyTransparency is everything in sales, and people want to know what they're getting before they buy. Marcus Sheridan shares how giving the price upfront provides a mutual action plan that helps make it easier for prospects to buy from you.9. Understand Your ICPWhen you know who you're targeting, your message becomes clearer, and you have a higher closing rate. In episode 1625, I share why adapting to your ICP is important and how it

We want to put as many shots up as possible, but we want to have calculated shots. We want to take them with low budgets… I'll make a bet and I'll start it very cheaply.” — Chris Cunningham“The only way it's really going to scale is if I brought in an expert... I took a bet that all companies would have content creators if they wanted to compete. They'll have some kind of creator that creates content for them consistently.” — Chris Cunningham“Content's just another task, right? Like anyone can make excuses. So if you're just not making content, it means you don't prioritize it. We prioritize it.” — Chris Cunningham“The dividends content rewards with is nuts. The amount of people I've met, the people who DM me and just what I'm learning… There's no reason not to make content.” — Chris Cunningham“If I had to start over and I'm at a new company—we're building in public... No actors, just talking about what we're working on. At the end of the day, I would just ask for like 5-10 minutes of all the early employees: what did you do today? And find a cool, clever way to chop it up. That's exactly what I would do.” — Chris Cunningham“You need to know your ICP. If you're creating content and you don't know who you're creating for, you really just lost the whole goal right there.” — Chris CunninghamShow notes powered by Castmagic---Have any questions about the show or topics you'd like us to explore further?Shoot us a DM; we'd love to hear from you.Want the weekly TL;DR of tips delivered to your mailbox?Check out our newsletter here.Follow us for content, clips, giveaways, & updates!Castmagic InstagramCastmagic TwitterCastmagic LinkedIn  ---Blaine Bolus - Co-Founder of CastmagicRamon Berrios - Co-Founder of CastmagicChris Cunningham - Head of Social Marketing at ClickUp

Podcast Summary: The Worldview Brief — Why Marketing Needs a Political Lens (Without the Politics)In this episode, Sacha Awwa sits down with Chris Peterson, co-founder of LifeMind and author of Red and Blue Customers, to unpack one of the most overlooked dimensions in marketing today: worldview. A former agency leader and lifelong consumer insights enthusiast, Chris explores how the deeply ingrained cultural values of liberal and conservative customers shape purchasing behavior, brand loyalty, and marketing strategy.From the evolution of political polarization to AI-powered segmentation, Chris breaks down the subtle but powerful ways businesses project their own values—often unconsciously—and what to do about it. If you've ever wondered why your marketing works better with some audiences than others, this episode is your roadmap to understanding why.Key Topics Discussed:1. The Hidden Influence of WorldviewHow a 2020 Pew study sparked the book Red and Blue CustomersThe difference between politics and worldview—and why it matters in marketingWhy values, not policies, shape purchase decisions2. Decoding Consumer BehaviorLiberal vs. conservative consumption patterns—from TV shows to TeslaSurprising insights from anthropology and psychology, not political science27 values that differentiate—and 7 that unite—American customers3. The Worldview Brief: A New Strategic ToolWhy most creative briefs miss this simple but powerful questionHow to assess your customer base without alienating anyoneReal-world examples from fitness, automotive, and home retail industries4. Building Brands that ResonateHow brands like WeatherTech and Apartments.com naturally align with worldviewThe role of founders' values in long-term brand positioningWhat happens when values conflict with segments you didn't mean to alienate5. AI and the Future of Values-Based MarketingHow LifeMind uses AI to map customer values (regional, generational, political)The surprising results from AI-generated copy that "doesn't sound like you"Why the best marketing removes your personal bias from the message6. Worldview Inside the OrganizationWhy sales and marketing often clash—and how worldview explains itThe role of leadership in value projection and culture shapingHow worldview brief discussions can bring clarity to creative, media, and hiring decisionsKey Takeaways for Founders & Marketing Leaders:You're projecting a worldview whether you realize it or not—get intentional.Marketing without worldview awareness leads to missed fit and wasted spend.The goal isn't to “go political”—it's to align values with the right audience.Worldview briefs should sit beside your ICP and brand guide, not replace them.Great brands balance innovation and reliability to resonate across segments.Follow Chris Peterson's Work:

Do You Really Know Your ICP? Why It Matters and How to Find Out

Your ideal customer profile (ICP) is the north star for your entire company: it determines who you're building for and selling to. Though most growth-stage founders think they know who their ICP is, very few know how to update and refine it to keep the company focused as they grow—which can lead to a lot of headaches down the road.In this debut episode of a16z Growth's new company scaling podcast, the a16z Guide to Growth, a16z's Joe Morrissey (General Partner, a16z Growth), Michael King (Partner, Go-to-Market Network), and Mark Regan (Partner, a16z Growth) break down why ICP misalignment is often the hidden cause of common problems across the entire company, from pipeline gaps and bloated marketing spend to stalled product roadmaps—and dive deep on how to fix it.They offer tactical advice for defining (and refining!) your ICP as you scale, explain why getting it right requires company-wide alignment, and how to navigate the “precision paradox” when implementing it. Plus, why ICPs matter even more in the AI era, and how a well-executed ICP shows up across the business when it's working. Resources: Read more on sales and go-to-market on our Growth Content CompendiumFind Joe on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/morrisseyjoe/Find Mark on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mregan178/Find Michael on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-king-62258/Find Emma on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmajanaskie/ Stay Updated: Let us know what you think: https://ratethispodcast.com/a16zFind a16z on Twitter: https://twitter.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zSubscribe on your favorite podcast app: https://a16z.simplecast.com/Follow our host: https://twitter.com/stephsmithioPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.
