I Hit $1M in 9 Months Twice. These 8 Questions Are Why. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I took two companies from $0 to $1 million in revenue in just 9 months. Once with Terminus in 2014 and again with GTM Partners in 2021. One was funded, one wasn't. One was an up market, one wasn't. The 8 questions I'm sharing here are the reason both worked. These 8 questions are what I ran every major decision through at both companies, and they're what I walk hundreds of CEOs through inside GTM OS today. The answers will be different for your business. The questions are the same. ⏱ TIMESTAMPS
The GTM OS System That 3,000 Companies Run On (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most go-to-market plans fail, and it's not a marketing or sales problem. It's that CEOs treat go-to-market as an annual event instead of an ongoing process. In this video I walk through the exact process we take 3,000 companies through to run on GTM OS, live, step by step.

3 Zones That Determine If Your Business Survives (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most companies don't fail because of bad products or bad marketing. They fail because they're stuck in the muddy middle and don't know it. In this episode, I walk through the three business zones every CEO needs to understand: the winning zone, the competitive zone, and the instability zone. I show you what separates companies that can charge whatever they want from the ones getting eaten alive by cheaper competitors, and how to figure out exactly which zone your business is in right now. ⏱ TIME
AI Was Never Built to Cut Jobs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The companies using AI just to cut costs will be gone in a few years. I break down what the companies actually winning with AI have in common, why growth is not optional right now, and why James Clear's systems principle from Atomic Habits explains every company you've watched fall apart in the last two years. ⏱ TIMESTAMPS (00:00) Three GTM headlines nobody is connecting (00:14) News 1: 2X raises $400M to build a GTM operating system (00:45) News 2: Rackspace cuts 750 people to pivot to AI (01:0
