Podcasts about top companies

The IPO market may be slowing down, but the discipline of operating like a public company has never been more important. In this episode, CJ is joined by Chad Gold, CFO of FullStory and veteran operator with previous stints at G2, SalesLoft, and Rubicon, to discuss how capital markets and financing strategies are shifting in real time. Chad explains why more companies are staying private longer, how the rise of private credit is changing the CFO toolkit, and why building IPO-ready discipline matters even if you never go public. The conversation also dives into one of his specialties—pricing models and sales incentives—covering how seat-based, usage, and blended structures influence rep behavior, comp plans, and long-term revenue quality, as well as how the wrong incentives can quietly derail a business. Finally, Chad reflects on lessons from his early career at Home Depot and how fundamentals from retail operations still inform his instincts in SaaS today.—LINKS: Chad Gold on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chadgold/Fullstory: https://www.fullstory.com/CJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222 Mostly metrics: https://www.mostlymetrics.comRELATED EPISODES:G2 CFO Chad Gold on Building A Durable Career as a Venture Backed Exec:Big Systems Thinking for Building a Finance Org: Advice From a Zoom Hypergrowth Survivor:—TIMESTAMPS:(02:14) Sponsors – Mercury | RightRev | Tipalti(06:10) What's New at FullStory(09:22) Hypotheses, Data, and Unlocking Use Cases(10:13) Early CFO Career and the Evolution of Data(11:09) From Deterministic Models to Analytics-Driven Forecasting(12:17) Cohorts, Segmentation, and Revenue Quality(13:17) Why Companies Stay Private Longer(15:28) Sponsors – Aleph | Rillet | Fidelity P.S.(19:01) Capital Flows Into Hot Sectors Like AI and Cybersecurity(20:20) More Companies Going Private Than Public(21:41) Costs and Tradeoffs of Being Public(22:46) Secondary Markets and Access to Top Companies(24:14) Staying Private Longer and CFO Planning(25:29) Keeping the Org Exit-Ready(26:10) The Rise of Private Credit(27:37) Banks vs. Venture Debt After SVB(30:47) Pricing Models Across Chad's CFO Roles(35:47) How to Incentivize Sales Reps Across Pricing Models(43:26) Lessons From Home Depot + Lightning Round—SPONSORS:Mercury is business banking built for builders, giving founders and finance pros a financial stack that actually works together.

Neill – Head of Product, Stripe TaxChantal Cox – Director of Product, LTK (LiketoKnow.it creator platform)Together, they reverse-engineer every stage of their 2025 hiring funnels—from 30-second resume scans to offer debriefs—and spell out the signals that turn an applicant into a hire.

Why do some companies consistently outshine their rivals, attract top talent, and spark innovation while others struggle? Many treat employee relationships like a simple transaction—initial excitement fades, and so does satisfaction. This leaves companies with disengaged teams and high turnover. In today's Leadership Spark, we'll explore how top companies have figured out the key to shifting from a transactional approach to one that treats employment as an enriching experience. Based on prominent psychologist Thomas Gilovich's research, it's clear: investing in experiences, not just tools, boosts satisfaction over time. We dive into the evolution from productivity-driven workplaces to purpose-led organizations that emphasize mutual value exchange, fostering a culture of growth, learning, and leadership. Discover how the employee experience era is redefining the way we think about work. ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

In a recent podcast episode, Rafael engaged in a captivating conversation with Dave Coffaro, an authority in strategy, change leadership, and organizational growth. Dave stressed the importance of agility in leadership and the need for organizations to adapt swiftly in today's dynamic business landscape. His insights are a valuable resource for navigating change successfully. I had an amazing conversation with Dave Coffaro for our podcast, and I'm excited to share the incredible insights he provided. Dave, an expert in strategy, change leadership, and organizational growth, delivered valuable wisdom during our chat. Dave serves as a Principal of the Strategic Advisory Consulting Group. Dave works with service businesses, financial services, academic insurance professional service firms, and nonprofits in refining and redesigning their future state to achieve accelerating growth, more favorable economics, or both. His work also includes serving as interim CEO for organizations in transition. Dave is also published and has a number of articles and blogs that are published in SmartBrief on leadership, the American Management Association Journal, Board Leadership, and the ABA banking journal, to name a few. Dave is also an author and his latest book is Leading from Zero: Seven Essential Elements of Earning Relevance. Dave begins by highlighting that leadership extends beyond the C-suite; it's a quality that can be exhibited by individuals at all levels within an organization. It involves making choices, bringing innovative ideas to the forefront, and positively influencing the organization. He emphasizes the importance of leveraging competencies, recognizing your organization's strengths, and seeking partnerships that complement those strengths. The goal is to adapt and evolve while remaining true to your core competencies. Dave introduces the concept of organizational agility, a vital attribute in today's rapidly changing business landscape. This agility involves continuously monitoring both internal and external changes, interpreting their implications, and swiftly adapting. Change leadership isn't a side project; it's integral to the core business. He presents McKinsey's definition of organizational agility, which underscores the ability to reconfigure strategy, structure, processes, people, and technology to seize value-creating and value-protecting opportunities. Our discussion delves into how the pandemic accelerated the need for agility in financial institutions. Legacy systems are now challenged by agile fintech startups, and regulatory agencies are embracing innovation. This adaptability is essential to staying competitive. Dave underscores the significance of adopting a holistic perspective within organizations. Breaking down silos and viewing the organization as a living entity rather than a rigid machine allows for quicker responses to change and optimal resource allocation. In summary, Dave Coffaro's insights on leadership, agility, and organizational growth are invaluable in today's dynamic business environment. The conversation serves as a reminder that agility and adaptability are core competencies that organizations and individuals should cultivate. Listen to the full podcast episode to delve deeper into these transformative ideas.
