  • The Power of Belief

    Spending an hour with an icon in the history of sales training was the most fun and meaningful podcast i’ve ever been on! John Kaplan is not just an incredible sales pro, he’s an empathetic and wonderful human being. We discussed my personal experiences but John also got vulnerable about his. So grateful for the opportunity and glad to call John a friend! Thank you!

  • Legends Making Legendary Podcast

    This show is a masterclass in sales and leadership. These two guys were legends and can be traced back to the formation of MEDDIC as a sales methodology. Having the incredible opportunity to be a guest on their show to discuss my book Greatfruit was an honor and pleasure. These guys are so easy to talk with, so knowledgeable on sales process, sales execution, and sales excellence. True leaders in the field of sales. Highly recommend this podcast!

  • One of the best Sales Podcasts.

    Easily one of my favorite Podcasts on Sales and coming from the master himself, John McMahon. One thing I look forward to is to push the envelope a bit to see how the same sales principles can be applied to a non-software sales environment - can it work in industrial equipment sales for example? Would love to hear John and Kaplan’s take on this and possibly invite the CRO from GE or ABB or similar.
