Every week the founders of CS2, Charlie and Crissy, breakdown the latest GTM AI news, what is working (and not working) in GTM, walk through use cases we are deploying for clients, and interview the best GTM operators. GTM is changing fast and we’re on the front lines with our clients (the likes of Superhuman, Notion, Bloomenergy, Gong, Coursera, Salesloft, Scale AI) every day making sense of it all. This podcast allows us to bring that knowledge straight to you so you can stay informed and inspired. Come hang with us.
