  • Let's Talk About the Numbers that the Board Doesn't See
    2026/07/10

    Every growth company sets a number. Someone has to own it.

    Behind every "aggressive growth target" is a sales leader making impossible calls in real time with a board watching, a team depending on them, and no guarantee the math will work out.

    Some quarters they nail it. Some quarters they don't. Almost no one talks about what that actually feels like, or what it takes to lead through it.

    This show is a series of honest conversations with the people who live inside that pressure—CROs, sales leaders, RevOps and finance leaders—about the moments that shaped how they lead.

    Not case studies. Not frameworks. Just what's actually true about leading revenue, told by the people who've done it.

    Because the number is never really about the number. It's about who you become chasing it.

    Tune in with Bill Kantor to learn more about mastering sales leadership and more.
