Turning GTM into a revenue factory through recurring impact & helping GTM leaders do the same | GTM Executive leveraging AI ✨ | Keynote Speaker & Advisor | Podcast 🎙️ Host |

I created the Revenue Nervous System™ a framework for building intelligent, self-improving growth engines that learn, adapt, and scale. The IMPACT+ Framework™ is how you implement it: a structured approach for embedding AI across the revenue lifecycle and turning strategy into execution.

I help Founders, Business Executives and Go-to-Market leaders transition to AI-native GTM and architect Agentic Growth Systems that eliminate friction and turn AI into measurable performance outcomes across their business.

At Experity, I serve as EVP & GM for Patient Engagement and Care Agent, the industry's first AI-native clinical intelligence platform. We're transforming how urgent care connects with patients through a multi-agent system that automates communication, personalizes engagement, and unifies clinical + commercial workflows across 3,000+ clinics.

Think of it as the Orchestration and Routing Layer for Healthcare: where data, context, and intelligence finally work together.

Beyond Experity, I work with founders, executive teams, and AI-native startups on growth architecture, GTM execution, and multi-agent system design.

Quick professional stats:
→ 87% median growth rate across all of my roles
→ $1B+ capital raised across portfolios
→ Scaled revenue $0 → $15B
→ Backed by Sequoia, Lightspeed, GTCR, Warburg Pincus, SoftBank

2.5 million patient conversations in 60 days. Not over a year. Not projected. Done. 𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺!
 
Care Agent just crossed that mark....1M+ users, 2,000+ clinics....and we're still in the opening act.
 
Here's what nobody talks about in healthcare AI: Everyone's building copilots. We went after something different.
 
The 60% of staff time lost to phone tag. Manual workflows. Printing paper that goes straight into the recycling bin.
 
When you see that same pattern across thousands of clinics and millions of patient visits? It stops being a local problem. It's an industry design flaw.
 
So we built the solution. 
 
𝗡𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲'𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝘁:
 
→ 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 –  Lead acquisition and growth initiatives across current and emerging market segments
 
→ 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿 – Drive impact and value realization across our install base through growth, retention, adoption, usage, and product feedback aligned with our customers business goals and top priorities. 
 
What makes this different:
 
You'll operate like you are building a startup, but with the resources of a platform company behind you. 

Lean team. Big mandate. Shared services across marketing, RevOps, enablement, support, etc.
 
Being AI-native in how you work isn't a nice-to-have. It's table stakes. 

You'll be selling an AI-powered future while using AI to outperform traditional approaches in your own role every day.
 
This is the fastest-growing business in our organization. One of our strategic big bets.
 
If you want to transform how 40M+ annual patient interactions happen...reducing friction for both patients and the people who care for them.. let's talk.

🚨 I am not going to answer LinkedIn DMs or Comments. Here is the assignment. 

→ Find someone in my network, that I know, that will vouch for you. 𝘜𝘯𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘮𝘦. 
→ Have them reach out to me on your behalf as a recommendation. 
→ Include why you want to tackle this problem for the industry, how you are using AI today, and what impact your experience and skillset can make with our customers and team.

EVP @ Experity | AI-Native GTM Architect | Revenue Nervous System™ | Care Agent | Healthcare AI

Look ma I made it! 

84% of executives believe agentic AI will transform their business.

Only 5% have defined success metrics for it.

Harvard Business Review just dropped their agentic AI research—623 executives surveyed on expectations, readiness, and results.

The gap between belief and execution is massive.

→ 74% say AI is very important to their organization 
→ Only 26% say they're effective at using it for business outcomes

That's a 48-point gap between PowerPoint strategy and operational reality.

The report also confirms what I've been saying: this isn't a technology problem.

The biggest barriers cited? 
→ Lack of talent/skills (48%) 
→ No clear roadmap (46%)

Not infrastructure. Not budget. People and strategy.

The technology works. The human systems often don't.

The winners won't have the best technology.

They'll be the ones who understood earliest that agentic AI requires reimagining processes—not just automating them.

This is not a technology project but a business transformation. 

What you don't want to do is take an existing business process and put it on a shiny new toy of a tech stack. Then all you've done is made an expensive business process.
 
I see this constantly. Companies automate broken workflows and wonder why they're not getting 10x results.
 
I use "directed autonomy"—where agents can act independently within defined parameters, but humans remain in the loop for oversight, exception handling, and learning.
 
→ For routine workflows: fully autonomous 
→ For context-dependent workflows: shared control 
→ For high-impact workflows: always a human in the loop with escalation pathways
 
The goal isn't to remove humans. It's to give them superpowers.

90% of executives expect their industry will use agentic AI.

Only 34% are actually using it today.

→ 36% achieved greater organizational productivity 
→ 35% achieved better data-driven decision making  
→ 33% achieved cost savings 
→ 26% achieved better customer experience
 
The differentiators aren't what you'd expect.
 
Leaders don't have better technology budgets. They have better clarity. 
 
Strategy integration: 13% of leaders have agentic AI fully integrated into organizational strategy vs. just 1% of laggards.
 
Success metrics: 10% of leaders have well-defined success metrics vs. 1% of laggards.
 
Workforce understanding: 66% of leaders say employees understand the value of agentic AI vs. 24% of laggards.
 
The technology works. The human systems often don't.
 
Thanks Harvard Business Review for having me.

A year ago, 80% of my AI usage went through ChatGPT.
 
Today? It's down to 10%.
 
Claude runs 60% of my workflow. Manus handles 25%. And the shift had nothing to do with which model is "smarter."
 
Here's what actually changed:
 
I stopped being a consumer. I started being a builder.
 
ChatGPT is incredible for conversations. Ask a question, get an answer, move on. It's the best consumer AI product ever made.
 
But I'm not having conversations anymore. I'm building systems.
 
With Claude, I can: 
→ Create skills that persist across every conversation (my voice, my frameworks, my preferences—always loaded) 
→ Connect to real databases through MCP servers 
→ Build and deploy actual web apps with Claude Code 
→ Execute tasks through Cowork instead of just talking about them
 
With Manus, I can: 
→ Deploy multi-agent teams that research, synthesize, and format complex deliverables 
→ Automate recurring tasks with agents that coordinate 
→ Generate presentations with proper visuals—not just text
 
The mental model shift:
 
ChatGPT = AI that answers questions 
Claude = AI that builds systems 
Manus = AI that orchestrates agents
 
The "which AI is best" debate misses the point entirely. It's like asking whether a hammer or screwdriver is the better tool.
 
The answer depends on what you're building.
 
If you're still routing 100% of your AI work through a single tool, you're probably leaving massive value on the table.
 
The question isn't "which AI should I use?"
 
It's "what am I trying to build—and which tool was designed for that?"

I have 14,000 followers on LinkedIn and I can't reach most of you.
 
That's the quiet frustration nobody talks about. 

You made a deliberate choice to follow me. 

You said "yes, I want to see this person's content." 

And LinkedIn's algorithm basically shrugged and said "cool story, here's a post from someone's click bait asking you to comment for something you rarely receive."
 
I've been creating content for years now. 

Sharing frameworks from 21 years of scaling companies. 

Breaking down AI-native GTM strategies that are actually working. 

Having real conversations about what's broken in how we build revenue systems.
 
And maybe 3-5% of you see any of it.
 
So I'm changing the model.
 
I'm moving my daily content to Substack. 

Not because LinkedIn is dead—it's still where the professional conversation happens. 

But because I want to actually reach you.
 
Here's what's shifting:
 
𝗦𝘂𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸 → Daily content. AI news analysis that cuts through the hype. AI-Native GTM frameworks. Deeper dives on what I'm seeing across GTM, Technology, and Business. The stuff I used to post here but couldn't guarantee you'd see.
 
𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗜𝗻 → A couple posts a week. The highlights. The bigger takes. The conversations worth having publicly.
 
If you've found value in what I share here, I'd love to have you join me over there.
 
The newsletter is free. The content is the same me—candid, tactical, occasionally wrong in interesting ways.
 
Link is below and in the featured section.
 
And I'm genuinely curious: am I the only one feeling this? What's your experience trying to reach the people who actually chose to follow you?

Healthcare isn't losing patients to competitors. It's losing them to expectations.
 
My kids don't remember a world where you had to hail a cab on a street corner. Or call a hotel front desk to book a room. They tap an app. The car appears. The door unlocks.
 
They're not "channel-native"—they don't think about which website, phone number, or portal to use.
 
They're service-native. The interface IS the service.
 
Uber isn't competing with taxis on price or speed anymore. The app experience became indistinguishable from the transportation itself.
 
Same with Airbnb. The booking interface didn't just improve accommodations—it became the accommodation experience.
 
Healthcare hasn't figured this out yet.
 
We're still asking patients to: 
→ Navigate portal logins 
→ Call during "business hours" 
→ Fill out the same form five times 
→ Wait on hold just to ask a simple question
 
And then we wonder why they're frustrated.
 
The urgent care industry sees 200+ million patient visits a year across 14k+ clinics. 

What we've learned building 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 at Experity is pretty clear:
 
The future isn't omni-channel. It's no-channel.
 
Younger generations don't care 𝘩𝘰𝘸 they get care. Text, voice, chat—doesn't matter. They just want it to work. Instantly. On their terms.
 
The clinics winning right now aren't the ones adding more channels.
 
They're the ones collapsing all those channels into a single intelligent interface that adapts to the patient.
 
Not "there's an app for that."
 
"There's an interface for 𝘮𝘦."
 
What's the last healthcare experience that actually felt modern to you?

"Can we be your Guinea pig?"
 
Those five words stopped me in my tracks.
 
We were mid-demo with Midwest Express Clinic —one of the fastest-growing urgent care operators in the Midwest.
 
I'd just shown them our Patient Engagement solution with Care Agent. 

Lab results delivered via webapp powered by a LLM. 

Discharge docs sent automatically. 

One unified chat instead of different ones that make clinics "look like scammers" (their words, not mine).
 
And before I could even finish the walkthrough, their team jumped in:
 
"How soon can we have this?"
 
Here's what struck me about the conversation.
 
They didn't ask about features first. They didn't ask about pricing first.
 
They went straight to the pain points that actually matter:
 
→ Patients calling back 24 hours after a visit asking for work notes 
→ Lab results getting lost in the shuffle 
→ Wasted time playing phone tag 
→ Higher costs without higher reimbursement leading to lower margins
 
Then they said something that reminded me why we built Care Agent in the first place:
 
"Reducing calls, improving experience for patients and staff, improving margins all would be a huge win."
 
That's it. That's the whole game.
 
Not "give us shiny AI." Not "we want a chatbot."
 
Just: help our people more time taking care of patients and us be able to run our operations more efficiently.
 
What I love about working with operators like Midwest Express is they don't need to be sold on the vision. They're living the chaos every day. They just need tools that actually work.
 
So yeah—we're building this thing together. 

Customer feedback shaping every feature. Real clinics testing real scenarios with real patients.
 
No vaporware. No press release promises. Just working software solving actual problems.
 
There's nothing better than a customer who says "we want to be first."
 
That's how you know you're building the right thing.

Snow day! Will be stuck here for the next 3-4 days! 

Excited to hang with the fam, sled, work with Claude Code and Cowork, and watch some movies/shows! 

Much needed after a long week.

450+ GTM leaders signed up.
 
That should tell you something about the state of AI training right now.
 
Here's the problem: 

Most AI education is still stuck in 2023. "Intro to prompting." Generic overviews. Death by slides.
 
Meanwhile, the operators actually transforming their revenue engines? 

They're operating at a completely different speed. Building systems. Automating workflows. Shipping agents that do real work.
 
The gap is widening every month.
 
So Andy Jolls and I wanted to build something different.
 
𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝗻 𝗚𝗧𝗠 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗮𝘁 Pavilion launches January 21st. Hands-on-keyboard. Practical. Built for leaders who need to implement—not just understand concepts.
 
We assembled a faculty of practitioners who are actually doing this work:
 
→ Liza Adams 
→ Crystal Black 
→ Josh Carter 
→ Jonathan M Kvarfordt, MBA 
→ Ryan Staley 
→ Scott Wueschinski 
→ John Williams  
 
90-minute interactive sessions. No passive learning.
 
What we're covering:
 
• AI GTM Team Hiring & Organizing
• AI Literacy Credentialing
• AI Tools in Action (real workflows, not product demos)
• Agents: From Prompt to Autonomous Action
• Growth Strategy Design
• Recurring GTM Process Automation
• The AI-First Revenue Engine (90-day implementation plan)
• Vibe Coding 101 & 201
• State of AI in 2026
 
This isn't theory. It's the playbook.
 
Link in comments. (Pavilion members only—if you're not a member, this might be your reason to join.)
 
What's the one AI skill you wish your GTM team had built six months ago?

40 million Americans are asking ChatGPT health questions every single day.
 
Not Google. Not WebMD. ChatGPT.
 
And here's the part that should wake up every healthcare executive: 7 out of 10 of those conversations happen after clinic doors close.
 
They're telling us something we don't want to hear.
 
The healthcare system has created a massive demand vacuum. And AI just walked in to fill it.
 
Look at the data from OpenAI's report:
 
Wyoming—the least populated state—has the highest rate of health-related AI messages from "hospital deserts." 

Rural communities are sending 600,000+ health messages per week. 

Nearly 2 million weekly messages are just about insurance and billing—people trying to decode medical bills and fight claim denials.
 
This isn't WebMD symptom-checking. This is AI-assisted self-advocacy.
 
The conventional take? "AI is coming for healthcare." That misses the point entirely.
 
AI isn't replacing healthcare. It's showing up where healthcare isn't.
 
11 PM on a Tuesday when your kid has a fever. 

Saturday morning trying to understand what "copay after deductible" actually means. 

The 30-minute drive to the nearest hospital when you need answers now.
 
That's when patients turn to AI. Not because they prefer it. Because they have no other option.
 
And here's what's really happening: 66% of physicians now use AI too (up from 38% last year). 

This isn't a patient-versus-provider story. 

It's the entire healthcare ecosystem saying the current system can't meet demand.
 
OpenAI just launched ChatGPT Health—encrypted, HIPAA-aligned, connected to your actual medical records. 

They built it with 260+ physicians across 60 countries.
 
The front door to healthcare is changing. 

The question is whether we're going to fight it or redesign around it.

We are trying to help solve this for patients and providers at Experity with Care Agent! 🫡

The Blockbuster vs. Netflix Moment for Enterprise Intelligence. 

Blockbuster had more stores. More employees. More capital.
 
None of it mattered.
 
Netflix won because they understood something Blockbuster couldn't see: the value wasn't in physical distribution. It was in knowing what you wanted to watch before you knew it yourself.
 
That same moment is happening right now in enterprise software.
 
But instead of physical vs. streaming, it's scattered knowledge vs. unified context.
 
Foundation Capital just published their thesis on this. They're calling it "AI's trillion-dollar opportunity." 

It validated the context layer of the Revenue Nervous System that I have been sharing.
 
Here's what everyone's missing:
 
Your most important data doesn't live in a database. It lives in Slack threads, deal desk calls, and the tribal knowledge passed between employees.
 
"We always give X companies an extra 10% because their procurement cycles are brutal."
 
That rule isn't in your CRM. When the person who knows it leaves, it walks out the door.
 
Foundation Capital calls this the "decision trace" problem.
 
Rules tell you what should happen. Decision traces capture what actually happened—the exceptions, overrides, and cross-system context that explain 𝘸𝘩𝘺.
 
The reasoning connecting data to action was never treated as data in the first place.
 
Here's what it looks like in practice:
 
An AI agent proposes a 20% renewal discount. Policy caps it at 10%. But the agent pulls three SEV-1 incidents from PagerDuty, an open escalation in Zendesk, and a prior thread where a VP approved a similar exception.
 
The CRM stores one fact: "20% discount."
 
A context graph captures the entire story—the policy, the cross-system data, the precedent, the approval. That's what makes it auditable. That's what makes it compound.
 
Why can't incumbents build this?
 
Salesforce and Workday prioritize current state. They know what a deal looks like now—not the reasoning that justified it.
 
Snowflake and Databricks sit in the read path, not the write path. By the time data lands there, the decision context is already gone.
 
Capturing decision traces requires being in the execution path when decisions are made. Not bolting on governance after the fact.
 
"What could you achieve if the context carried by your RevOps, DevOps, or Security Ops teams became a queryable, permanent asset?"
 
That's the trillion-dollar question.

This article is validation of the Context Layer in the Revenue Nervous System that I have been sharing.

Anthropic just shipped the most important AI product since ChatGPT.
 
It's called Claude Cowork. Released Sunday. Mac only. Max subscribers only.
 
Here's what early adopters are reporting:
 
→ Taxes filed in 15 minutes (normally 40 hours) 
→ Two months of admin backlog cleared in 2 hours 
→ Gmail inbox cleaned and categorized in 10 minutes 
→ Scattered notes transformed into first-draft quarterly plans
 
This isn't "AI assistant that helps you write emails."
 
This is AI that actually does the work.
 
You give it access to a folder. 

It reads, edits, and creates files. 

It connects to your Drive, Notion, browser. 

It loops you in when it matters. 

Executes independently when it doesn't.
 
The shift is subtle but massive:
 
From AI-assisted → AI-orchestrated.
 
From "help me with this task" → "here's the task, handle it."
 
But here's what most people will miss:
 
The bottleneck isn't the tool. It's your ability to give clear instructions.
 
Most executives are terrible at this. 

We've spent careers delegating to humans who fill in the gaps. 

Who ask clarifying questions. 

Who bring context we forgot.
 
AI doesn't do that. Yet.
 
So the executives who learn to "steer" AI effectively? 

They'll operate at a completely different speed.
 
The ones who dismiss this as "another chatbot upgrade"? 

They'll wonder why competitors keep pulling ahead.
 
We're moving from "there's an app for that" to "there's an agent for me."
 
The busy work is ending. 

The question is: what will you do with the time you get back?

I will be posting more as I dive in.

𝟰𝟬 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗚𝗣𝗧 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝘆.
 
Not Google. ChatGPT.
 
OpenAI just dropped their "AI as Healthcare Ally" report. The numbers stopped me mid-scroll:
 
→ 5% of all ChatGPT messages globally are healthcare-related 
→ 70% of those conversations happen outside clinic hours 
→ 580,000+ weekly messages come from "hospital deserts"
 
(Source: OpenAI, January 2026)
 
Here's what most healthcare leaders are missing—the generational math.
 
70% of all generative AI users are Gen Z or Millennials (Salesforce). 

Daily AI search usage has more than doubled in six months (HigherVisibility, August 2025).
 
These aren't edge cases. These are your patients.
 
Millennials are 24-43 now. Gen Z is 13-28. 

Combined, they're your fastest-growing patient population.
 
They grew up in the on-demand economy. 

Uber when they want a ride. 

DoorDash when they want food. 

Netflix when they want entertainment.
 
Why would they expect healthcare to be different?
 
They don't.
 
39% of Gen Z say they'd delay seeing a doctor if AI tells them their symptoms are low-risk—that's actually more than the 36% who'd book an appointment. (Mesothelioma Center/SurveyMonkey, October 2025)
 
And Gen Beta? Born 2025 onward? They won't remember a world without conversational AI.
 
We're watching patient behavior shift in real-time. 

The practices that figure this out—meeting patients where they already are—will own the next decade.
 
The ones waiting for patients to "come back" to traditional channels?
 
They'll keep wondering why acquisition costs keep climbing.
 
We are building Care Agent at Experity and working with partners to interconnect the patient journey and make it intelligent from end to end to solve the fragmented and lack of transparency that happens across the healthcare journey

Care Agent will "always be available" for the patient... meeting them where they are today and staying with them for every part of their health journey.

Anthropic released 55 pages of data on how people actually use Claude.
 
The finding that should kill the "AI is coming for your job" narrative:
 
𝟱𝟮% 𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘃𝘀 𝟰𝟱% 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
 
More than half of AI usage is humans working 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 AI. Not AI working 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘰𝘧 humans.
 
But here's what makes it interesting:
 
This ratio 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 from August.
 
As AI capabilities improved — file creation, memory, Skills — users moved toward collaborative use. Not replacement use.
 
The more sophisticated AI gets, the more we're using it as a partner.
 
This inverts the automation anxiety narrative completely.
 
Other findings that matter for business:
 
→ Headline productivity gains (1.8pp) drop to ~1.0pp when adjusted for actual success rates. Cut in half.
 
→ Complex tasks = higher speedup (12x for college-level work) BUT lower success rates (66% vs 70% for basic tasks)
 
→ AI is a force multiplier for expertise. Not a replacement. The people extracting value already know the work.
 
→ When AI handles tasks, remaining job requirements either upskill or deskill by role. Property managers upskill (AI handles admin, humans need more judgment). Travel agents deskill (AI handles complexity, humans handle routine).
 
→ Geographic adoption converging 10x faster than 20th century tech. 

Your "we'll adopt before competitors" window is closing every day.
 
Three things for GTM leaders:
 
1. Success rates cut ROI projections in half. API success is 49%. Consumer AI is 67% — with human iteration.
2. Multi-turn extends what's possible. Single prompts hit a wall at ~3.5 hours of equivalent human work. Iteration pushes it dramatically further.
3. Design for augmentation when humans are in the loop. Save automation for back-office workflows.
 
The companies that win won't chase "AI replaces everything."
 
They'll build human-AI systems:
 
• Where does AI amplify our best people?
• Where do humans catch AI's mistakes?
• Which tasks stay human because they're our moat?
 
The replacement narrative is wrong.
 
The collaboration data is in.

Your company is probably extracting 20% of the value from your AI investments.
 
Not because you picked the wrong model. Because you picked the wrong architecture.
 
Here's what I mean:
 
Microsoft's Excel agent uses Claude 4.5. Anthropic's Claude in Excel uses Claude 4.5. 

Same model. Same underlying intelligence. 

Completely different business outcomes.
 
AIG compressed business review timelines by 5x. Data accuracy jumped from 75% to over 90%. 

Norway's $1.6 trillion sovereign wealth fund saved 213,000 hours.
 
Meanwhile, most enterprises are getting... marginally better formulas.
 
The difference isn't the AI. It's how the AI was integrated.
 
Microsoft built Claude as a formula writer. Ask a question, get a VLOOKUP. 

The AI is capped at what Excel could already do—just faster.
 
Anthropic built Claude as the analyst. 

The AI actually thinks through the problem, performs the analysis, and uses Excel to display results.
 
One approach automates your existing process. 

The other replaces it with something fundamentally better.
 
This is the question every executive should be asking about their AI vendors:
 
𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗜 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸? 

𝗢𝗿 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗜 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸?
 
Because that architectural choice determines whether you get 5x productivity gains or 1.2x.
 
Companies that bolt new technology onto old processes get incremental improvements. 

Companies that rebuild processes around new capabilities get exponential ones.
 
Most enterprise AI deployments right now are bolt-ons.
 
The vendors selling you "AI-powered" everything are often just routing requests to an LLM, then constraining the output to what their legacy software can handle.
 
You're paying for the model's full intelligence. You're getting a fraction of it.
 
Three questions to ask your AI vendors:
 
→ Does the AI perform the analysis, or does it write code for your existing tools to execute?
→ What's the ceiling—the AI's capability or your legacy system's capability?
→ Can you show me results from customers who rebuilt workflows vs. customers who automated existing ones?
 
The companies figuring this out now are about to create gaps their competitors can't close.

Your top seller just closed another massive deal.
 
Again.
 
Slack lights up. Everyone claps. But behind the smiles? Quiet frustration.
 
The rest of the team is still stuck chasing dead-end prospects. Wondering why the magic never transfers.
 
Here's the hard truth: you're not scaling performance.
 
You're scaling luck.
 
I spent years throwing training, comp plans, and pep talks at this problem. It never worked.
 
Because the gap between your top 20% and everyone else isn't talent.
 
It's intelligence.
 
Your best reps know which accounts to prioritize. Which products to position. Who actually makes the decision. And exactly when to deliver the message.
 
That intelligence lives in their heads—not in your systems.
 
ICONIQ's 2025 research shows the gap clearly:
 
→ High AI adopters: 61% of AEs hit quota 
→ Everyone else: 56%
 
That 5-point gap represents millions in revenue.
 
But here's what keeps me up at night:
 
→ High adopters close in 20 weeks. Others take 25. 
→ High adopters convert 41% of free trials. Others convert 36%. 
→ High adopters see 38% productivity gains. Others see 28%.
 
Every metric compounds. Every advantage multiplies.
 
While your systems stay static, theirs get smarter every single day.
 
The companies winning right now aren't working harder.
 
They've built what I call an Intelligence Layer—the pattern recognition engine that makes everyone as effective as their top performers.
 
Instead of 9-month ramp times, new hires are productive in week one.
 
Instead of guessing on deals, reps get guided to the right accounts with the right message in real-time.
 
Instead of pipeline being a mystery, it becomes predictable.
 
Your stars aren't superhuman.
 
They're just working with better intelligence.
 
The future of sales isn't about more reps. It's about smarter systems.
 
And the companies that figure out how to scale that intelligence across every rep?
 
They win.
 
What would change if every rep on your team could see the patterns your best performers see?

Google ads target what you typed.
 
ChatGPT ads will target what you 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯.
 
OpenAI announced ads coming to ChatGPT. 

800 million users, testing in the US "in coming weeks."
 
Most coverage focused on revenue models. 

"OpenAI needs money." "Subscriptions aren't enough."
 
They're missing the story.
 
When someone Googles "best CRM for small business," that's a keyword match. The algorithm knows what you typed. That's it.
 
When someone asks ChatGPT the same question? 

The AI knows context. 

Your team size from three messages ago. 

Your budget sensitivity from how you phrased things. 

Your integration needs from last week's conversation.
 
This isn't search advertising. It's intent advertising.
 
And it gets weirder.
 
OpenAI's announcement showed users can "start a direct chat" with the advertiser's AI. 

The funnel becomes: ChatGPT conversation → ad → brand AI conversation → purchase.
 
Your brand doesn't just need an ad. It needs an AI that can hold a real conversation.
 
Here's what changes for GTM operators:
 
→ Conversational brand presence becomes a strategic asset 
→ New metrics: conversation depth, AI-assisted conversion, conversational share of voice 
→ Attribution gets messy (good luck tracking that funnel) 
→ Two-tier AI is official: paid = clean, free = ads
 
OpenAI made the standard promises. 

"Ads won't influence answers." 

"Your conversations are private." 

"You control your data."
 
Every platform has said this. Watch how it evolves.
 
The last major ad platform—social media—created trillion-dollar companies.
 
This one will be bigger. And it's happening now.

1/28/26: 5 AI Workflows MindStudio’s GTM Leader Runs Daily to 3x Pipeline

$357 billion.
 
That's how much Microsoft lost in a single day.
 
Same day, Meta gained $100 billion.
 
Both companies announced essentially the same thing: massive AI spending for 2026. Somewhere in the $65-80B range each.
 
The market's reaction wasn't just different. It was a brutal verdict.
 
I've been thinking about this all weekend. 

I think what happened is the an important signal for anyone building with AI right now.
 
Here's the thing: Wall Street has stopped caring 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 you spend on AI.
 
They only care about one question: Does AI make your core business stronger, or does it make your core business obsolete?
 
Meta passed that test. Their core business is advertising. AI makes ad targeting better. More precise. More profitable. And you can't use AI to generate 3.58 billion daily active users. Their moat is people, not software.
 
Microsoft failed that test. Their core business is software and cloud. The very AI they're building—the code generation tools, the agents, the automation—threatens the licensing model that funds it all.
 
That's the question every company needs to answer right now:
 
Are you AI-Enhanced or AI-Threatened?
 
There's no middle ground anymore. Half a trillion dollars moved in 24 hours because the market has made up its mind about how to value these two camps.
 
If you're leading an AI initiative, this is your wake-up call. The ROI reckoning is here. 

"We're investing in innovation" without clear returns? That era just ended.
 
What's your honest assessment? Is your company building moats or flooding them?

Dear CEOs, Investors, Boards,

Take some time to understand the discipline of marketing.  

It's clear we're approaching 2026 and most of us are right where we were 15 years ago.  In fact, it might be worse.

15 years ago people had a deeper appreciation for brand.

Now, if people think about marketing at all, it's exclusively demand generation.  

SOME STORIES FROM MY COACHING CALLS

I've been doing 4-5 calls with Pavilion Members a day for the past few weeks as we near the holidays.  The goal is to help as many people as possible during what can be a high anxiety time.  

Negotiating EOY comp.  Getting fired.  Maneuvering for a promotion.  Taking on responsibilities of a recently fired exec.

What's become clear: marketing is under siege.

Some anecdotes:

- A job interview for a CMO that has a screening question blindly asking "How many MQLs did you generate last quarter?" with no additional context (!!??)

- CMOs being fired and all of marketing rerouted to the CRO with no CMO backfill

- Continued attacks on any budget line item not directly tied to hiring more reps or near term demand gen

- CMOs & marketing dept. being fired after crushing every number because the company needs to show improved profitability before an exit

The list goes on and on.

The #1 feeling most marketers are expressing right now: EXHAUSTION

BACK TO THE OPEN LETTER

So if you're a CEO or Founder or Investor reading this, a couple things:

1. Brand is long term demand generation.  If you want to drive revenue in 2026 and 2027 and 2028 and 2029 and onward you'll need a brand.  Some part of your marketing budget should be allocated towards it.

2. You don't need a "Chief Storyteller".  That's your head of Marketing.  You need a marketing department.  Stop being a moron.  Just hire a great marketer.  

3. We are in a world of commodity software products where people think they can vibe code what you've spent 10 years building in 30 minutes on the weekend.  You'll need marketing to differentiate yourself.  Your marketing can't just be "Ha ha they don't have any security and we're SOC-2"  

4. Your CHEAPEST path to demand generation is MARKETING.  Not tons of sales people.  You don't need more AEs.  You need program spend that puts  your story in front of as many people as possible.  That generates awareness and interest and your sales team converts that to revenue.  

5. You're in the business of driving efficient revenue growth.  That comes through MARKETING and, relatedly, through PARTNERSHIPS.  Hiring 50 SDRs with a 3 person marketing team isn't smart.  You look like a fool.  INVEST in the discipline of marketing.

BOTTOM LINE

I am having call after call with Pavilion Members tearing their hair out that you have no f-ing clue what you're talking about when it comes to marketing.

Take some courses through Pavilion if you need to or DM me.  

But you're doing it wrong and it's going to cost you results in 2026.

Thanks for reading.

Love,
Sam

In 2026, the race will split into two categories.  

VC Backed AI Native:
- Expected hyper growth.  Growth ain't a goal.  It's a commandment.
- Experimental ARR facing GRR collapse.  Explosive on a chart.  Fragile IRL.
- Gross margins that are “fine for now” and hand-waved away as a future problem.
- Dependent on hype cycle and enterprise enthusiasm
- Small chance at $1B ARR
- Race to get to exit or secondary before you have to prove the business model
- VC investors whipping you into a frenzy 
- "Unicorns are dead.  I'm all in on SuperNovas (or a new moniker my team came up with last night)
- Brutal intensity but maybe you'll end up like Fyxer, Manus, Elyse, Lovable and get to the finish line
- Expected ARR Growth: 
-- 0-$100M - 300%
-- $100M+ - 200%
- Time Horizon: Get out ASAP before the music stops
- "This time it's different"

Non-AI SaaS / Everyone Else (including me):
- Growth that’s intentional, modeled, and meant to survive contact with reality
- ARR that compounds quietly, supported by actual customers and real CS motion
- Goal is Rule of 40-60
- Gross margins you can explain without squinting (65–90% and proud of it)
- Iced out of the hype cycle
- No meaningful chance at $1B ARR
- Long term focus
- "Long term games with long term partners"
- Slow and steady wins this particular race (which isn't the same race the AI teams are running)
- Expected ARR Growth:
-- 0-$100M - 40%
-- $100M+ - 20%
- Time Horizon: 10+ years
- "I'll just keep building a good business. (And sleep at night)"

If you're in the first category, enjoy the ride.  It might burn you out.  But you also might win.  

If you're in the second category, find your composure and design your business around steady compounding every day.

Personally, I'm in the second category.

Community is the antithesis of AI native.  

It's real relationships
Real people.
And real experiences.

It doesn't respond well to hyper growth pressure (and often breaks when forced).

It does respond well to a long term steady vision, a focus on human connection and meaning, and an emphasis on craft.  

There's no judgement.  

We all have to grow where we're planted.

And mine is one that builds over years and decades vs quarters.  

What game are you going to play this year?

There's >$10B of ARR in this picture.  

And even with operators of this size and scale, folks need support.

We just got back from a 3 day Pavilion Gold Winter Retreat in Mexico, the first of its kind for this program.

To say it was "magical" is an understatement.

Something happens when you get people away from their screens and their Zooms and put them in a beautiful spot together to share, to experience the beauty of the environment, and to workshop difficult problems.

This group brought their full selves to this experience.

Discussions about:

Being laid off.
Negotiating the right package to protect yourself and your family.
The existential fear of not moving fast enough in a world dominated by AI.
What great operators are doing to stay ahead of the curve.
How to solve backwards from enterprise value.
Creating long-term incentives for your management team to drive business outcomes.
The POV of LPs who haven't received a distribution check in years from your 2021+ fund vintages.
Chips in shoulders translating to chips in pockets.
The profile of great founders.
Seat-based pricing migrations to usage-based pricing.
Dealing with difficult boards.
Sharing perspectives across PE, VC, and operators.
Building a career that spans operating roles, board roles, advisory roles, and asset allocation.

Beyond that though, and because we all knew that Chatham House Rules prevailed, people truly opened up.  

They shared their challenges.
Their fears.
Their concerns.

GTM can be a grind.
At any altitude.  

Even the folks that seem like they have it all are working their way through their careers with fear, anxiety, and optimism all at once.

Within Pavilion Gold, we do dinners, we do virtual masterminds, we connect people to subject matter experts to answer difficult challenges.

We put people into non-competitive peer groups called Small Councils where you can learn from a group of operators who become friends and ultimately your personal board of advisors.

And all of that is awesome.

But IRL is where the real magic happens.

And I can tell you -- it's powerful.

Real life.  
Real human connection.

That's the best hedge against a world dominated by AI.

---

We're going to do 2 big retreats a year plus a dedicated track at GTM (our big conference) for Gold Members.

Next up is Jackson Hole, June 9-12.
Next year we're looking at Whistler in Feb of 27 and then Amelia Island in June of 27.  
TBD on 2028 but we'll probably try to do something in Europe.

---

If you're an operator at scale and any of this sounds interesting, DM me.

There's no online sign-up to be clear.

I personally interview every Member.

We're not "scaling" Pavilion Gold.

It is an elite membership.
It's not for everyone.
It's a meaningful investment.

But it will change your career and your life.

So there's that.

The beginnings of a whirlwind tour that will take me through Washington DC, Mexico, Miami, Boston, Vegas and New York. 

First stop: Frankfurt where I’ve been waylaid due to terrible weather in Europe. 

Had to find a sports bar to watch the NFL playoffs. 

An attempt to stretch my legs took me through some kind of Red Light district by the train station.  Will find a different route back to the hotel. 

Over the next two weeks:

- Pavilion Gold Winter Retreat in Mexico featuring a number of incredible operators and investors including Cassie Young, Nate Nasralla, Jonathan Moss, Monika Saha, 🌱 Allison Munro, and many more. 

- Miami to meet with Mike Lovell and brainstorm on the Miami Chapter

- Boston for a team offsite with Rich Gardner, Julia Segel, Josh Mait, Nicholas Tarnoff, and Samantha Carducci  and a big all community town hall to announce some major updates to the Pavilion community 

- Vegas to speak at the AlphaSense SKO with Kiva Kolstein, Ashley Hansen Grech, and Steve Rowland  

- Then back to Spain via NYC

Gonna be a whirlwind. 

Follow along. 

For now:

Frankfurt you have not made the best first impression and, on behalf of Carly Pallis, 

GO BILLS

No alternative text description for this image

Someting beautiful and special about being at the airport at 6am in the cold winter morning, the sunrise barely scratching its auburn hues against the horizon, watching people get dropped off on their way to their flight.

Hugs.  Kisses.  And echoes of "love you" throughout the terminal as people say goodbye on their way to some new adventure. 

Sometimes the sheer overwhelming joy of being alive and giving and receiving love can catch you by surprise.

It's good to be alive.

After 25 years of building and scaling revenue teams across >$500M in ARR, the #1 reason I see sellers, managers, and CROs fail isn’t effort, strategy, or hustle.  It’s a lack of basic financial acumen (and I know Gal Aga agrees with me).

If I were going to design a course to fix that problem for revenue leaders, here’s exactly how I’d structure it. 👇🏻

Module 1: Understanding the P&L and the core financial statements

This module would cover financial literacy, not accounting theory.  The goal wouldn't be to go deep on the different kinds of depreciation or why R&D should be capitalized.  

It would be to quickly help revenue leaders get up to speed.  

Specific elements should include:

- How the P&L actually works: revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, EBITDA
- How the P&L connects to the balance sheet and cash flow statement
- Where revenue decisions quietly create downstream cost, margin, and cash consequences
- What “healthy” vs “fragile” P&Ls look like at different stages of growth

Key Takeaways:

Leaders would be able to scan a P&L in 60 seconds and understand:
- How the business is really performing
- Where the obvious gaps and inefficiencies are
- Whether growth is creating leverage or just hiding problems

Module 2: Unit economics and the true cost of growth

This is where most revenue leaders get dangerous with partial knowledge.

We would cover:
- GRR, NRR, churn, expansion, and why revenue quality matters more than topline growth
- LTV:CAC and why averages lie
- Cohort and channel-based unit economics
- How sales efficiency, payback periods, and growth rates interact

Key Takeaways:

You'd know whether growth is creating value or destroying it — and which segments, channels, or motions are responsible.

Module 3: Valuation, benchmarking, and building durable value

Benchmarks without context are how bad decisions get justified.  Too many people have no clue why revenue multiples exist, what they imply, and why they change with the market.

Benchmarks are the crutch of the half-informed.  This module would change that.

We'd focus on:

- How investors actually think about valuation
- Why different business models earn different multiples
- The real drivers of revenue and EBITDA multiples
- A valuation-first mindset for revenue strategy and investment decisions

Key Takeaways:

You’ll stop optimizing for vanity metrics and start making decisions that compound long-term enterprise value.

Revenue leadership without financial fluency is guesswork with confidence.

This course would be designed to change that.

Given its importance, I'm hoping someone is building this course and target it at CROs, CMOs, and revenue leadership.  

And given its urgency, I would hope that someone would launch this course on January 27th, ideally to the best and most enduring revenue community in the world.

Because this course would be an absolute banger.

Fingers crossed.

🤞🏼

Two important and related books. 

Wallace Wattles “The Science of Getting Rich” and

James Carse “Finite and Infinite Games”

Wattles speaks of the difference between the Creative and Competitive Minds. 

Carse classifies two types of games. Finite games are played for the purpose of winning. Infinite games are played for the purpose of continuing the play. 

Connecting those dots: there is a different approach to life that is not defined by the success or failures of other people but simply by your ability to continue to create from the source of your personal genius.  

Forcing myself to play other people’s finite games has been the source of most of my unhappiness in life. 

And conversely, the freedom to pursue creative non-zero infinite games has been the source of my greatest joy.

A mentor once told me, "At some point everyone becomes a capital allocator."

MY INTERPRETATION:

There's only so far advisory or employee equity will take you.

If you want to be a player in this world you'll have to write big checks.  

Like it or hate it, the way power is distributed is according to who actually invests.  

Not advisory equity.
Not small $5K checks.

But the people that commit 6, 7, and 8 figures into causes and companies they believe in.

Many people are understandably not in that position.
Many people don't have the privilege of coming from that position,.
Many people are struggling every day to simply put food on the table.

This is not a judgement.
At many times in my life, I've been one of those people.
For the majority in fact.

So this is not social commentary.

But there are lots of people who could make meaningful commitments, who have simply become used to people giving them ownership without making a financial contribution for it.

And those folks will always be on the outside.

If you want to be on the inside:

Your goal should be to create enough resources that you can make meaningful bets on the things you believe in.  

Only if you want to be on the inside.

And everyone's journey is their own.

But the path to power is derived from capital allocation.

So you have to get out your checkbook.
