    "Stay In Your Lane": A Growth Story - Leilah Squires at MuleSoft (Salesforce)

    Meet Leilah. While this episode is a whole year old, I think it's a perfect time to release it as we've both had a full additional year of professional growth under our belts and the conversation outcomes have held true. Both motivated by "interesting" feedback in our careers, this is an awesome glimpse into what makes Leilah a fantastic solutions engineer (and a Mom to boot) by leveraging all of her previous experiences to create better results for the future. As always, credit to Aileah for giving me my big break Connect with Leilah on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leilah-squires/ Music by ‪Shiffley: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/shiffley/570668336

    Leading Change: Small Efforts, Transformative Impact - Michael Ryer with Amigos Internacionales

    Meet Michael. While his experiences and accolades show true excellence and an unbelievable amount of empathy, I'd like to summarize Michael as someone who has always known the value of "giving back" and is a lifelong pastor at heart. While the episode itself is a slight deviation from the normal clientele I invite to have a discussion on whatever topic, I'm glad I took the time to meet Michael and let him share what his organization is all about. If you're looking for someone to help "restore your faith" in humanity, take the time and give this one a listen.

    From Car Service to Sales Technician: A Look Back - Maher Salhani with ServiceNow

    Meet Maher. Connected on LinkedIn a while ago as someone who was tangential to various PreSales cohorts like ⁠PreSales Collective⁠ through means like Slack. Candidly, like the next few episodes you'll see here, these are "look backs" as we recorded these within the past year however the sentiments and outcomes all remain consistent. In Maher's case -- work hard, do right by yourself, your family and everything comes together in the end. Listen to Maher's journey from the family business at the car dealership to B2B software sales on the latest episode of KJ's Korner.

    Playbooks to Paychecks: Selling with Discipline - Mando Sallavanti at Freedom Path Wealth

    Meet Mando. Someone who initially caught my eye on my LinkedIn feed with vertical shoot videos in his car #redseatbelt. His content was definitely engaging enough and thus, I decided to start commenting on his stuff. Eventually we end up taking the time to give each other a call and learned we grew up in very similar areas, played football (albeit Mando actually played in college and I was a mascot) and ended up in selling-based careers. So naturally I asked him to come on the show! Little dated of an episode as we recorded a bit ago however still a very relevant conversation and this is a good example of why Mando is so successful providing financial guidance and expertise to higher income earners.

    From Sales to Mics to Career Heights - Jesse Marseille with Storytelling at Scale

    Meet Jesse. Connected through a mutual LinkedIn connection (naturally), we decided to pop on the pod to discuss his journey from SDR to full-time podcasting. We candidly recorded this last year at some point so the conversation is slightly dated, as Jesse is killing it with Nooks now (or at least at the time of writing this description), however it still stands the test of time discussing very real perspectives of the B2B go-to-market motion holistically.

    From Caregiving Roots to Product Management Success - Jennifer Melton at Gifthealth

    Meet Jennifer. We were introduced through a LinkedIn connection (naturally) and this episode took a pretty long time to one, get the show scheduled and two, get this out but that's because we got kids! Alas, here we are and it's a goodie as we discuss some quick hits on being new parents while exploring Jennifer's career from working with children and patients to being able to leverage that experience to formulate a software product strategy and roadmap.

    Always Be Documenting - Michael Panchu at Cority

    First episode on my own! Wanted to thank Aileah again for giving me the push to start a podcast. Turns out, I quite like it! Give "Breaking Into Tech" some love on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imbreakingintotech Anyways, continuing the KJ's Korner you know and love by giving you a quick chat I had with an individual I connected with on LinkedIn and unironically, we spend a good chunk of time chatting in the DMs with the latest on what's going on in professional wrestling. However this show we discuss his role at Cority and some things he does to stay motivated and disciplined throughout his career. ⁠Connect⁠ with Michael: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelpanchu/ Music by ⁠Shiffley: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/shiffley/570668336
