• 173. The 1-in-4 Rule: How CEOs keep their organisations close to customers
    2026/03/09

    What if the reason your organisation feels slow… is because leadership has drifted too far from the front line?

    Many companies quietly become insular as they grow — calendars fill with meetings, decisions become theoretical, and leaders lose proximity to customers and teams.

    In this episode you’ll learn:

    1. Why “too many meetings” is often a symptom of lost connection to customers and the front line
    2. The 1-in-4 Rule: a simple leadership rhythm to restore front-line bias across your leadership team
    3. How CEOs can create an organisation that learns faster because leaders stay connected to real customer experience

    Listen now to learn how a small leadership habit can reconnect your organisation to the market and improve the quality of every decision.

  • 171. How to think about build vs buy to win GTM advantage
    2026/03/04

    What if the fastest way to strengthen your GTM strategy isn’t building a new capability but acquiring one?

    Sometimes the smartest move isn’t adding more resources, it’s owning the right asset in your market.

    You’ll learn:

    1. The four types of GTM assets that create real market leverage
    2. The three moments when “buy vs build” becomes a serious strategic decision
    3. A simple framework for building the investment case and payback maths
    4. A 90-day integration approach that connects the asset directly to pipeline

    If you’re responsible for growth, this episode will help you move beyond simply adding resources and start thinking about acquiring leverage.

    Listen to discover how the right GTM asset can shift your position in the market — and why the next strategic question you ask might not be “who should we hire?” but instead:

    “Is there an asset we should own?”
