Marketing is not my primary job and these podcasts are really helping me learn about demand generation and marketing strategy. This is also helping me to be a better partner to marketing and I am so grateful to leverage this as a part of my perpetual learning.

One of my favorite podcasts!

A must listen for those in B2B

Chris and team always share the most brilliant ideas in today’s B2B environment. Their ideas challenge the status quo and encourage new ways to think about the outcomes related to revenue. I’ve been listening to both of the Refine Labs podcasts (State of Demand Gen and Stacking Growth) for the past 6 months and have found them to be incredibly invaluable with the topics covered and how to shift from a selling mindset to a buyers mindset in 2022 & beyond. Thanks for making this content free and available to anyone trying to better themselves and their business. I can’t recommend it enough!
