Apple Podcasts4GG OBXUnited States2 years ago - Great for GTM, steps into misinformed territory with macro
This is a rare GTM centric podcast that’s not boring. The energy levels of the hosts make it an easy listen. They’ve invited some great GTM leaders and in general their GTM-centric content is spot on.
I do believe they need to caveat all the macro topics by saying “this is simply their point of view based on their very limited experiences.” M&A, Politics, Fed, etc - their take on these topics range from what’s flashed in the media to bordering misinformed.
