    Infobip: When Your Customers Start Selling for You

    Infobip has made your life easier, you just don't know it. That bank verification code. The fraud alert. The text from your Uber driver. Infobip has powered the customer communications behind some of the world's biggest brands for over two decades.   In this episode Ben Lewis, VP of Marketing and Growth at Infobip joins Jacqueline to break down how a global B2B brand evolves from the inside out and what CMOs can steal from their playbook.  In this episode: The IQ + EQ rebrand. How Infobip shifted from engineer-first messaging to a framework that balances technical credibility with human impact. The Haas F1 partnership. How two self-described underdogs used a Formula One sponsorship as a pipeline accelerator. Brand vs. demand gen. How Ben keeps long-game brand investment alive when leadership wants pipeline numbers now.  The takeaway for CMOs: you don't have to be the loudest brand in the room to be the most trusted one. But your positioning has to be documented well enough that when you hand it to a team, a tool, or a new hire it still sounds like you.  About our Guest: Ben Lewis is VP of Marketing and Growth at Infobip, a global leader in omnichannel engagement powering messaging, authentication, and advanced customer engagement for brands worldwide.  Connect with Ben on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-lewis-082b7915/ and learn more at www.infobip.com.  Is your brand ready for an evolution?

    You’re Creating Editors. Not Thinkers.

    In this episode of Defending Depth, Jacqueline makes the case for a critical shift in leadership conversations around AI. She walks through how teams are producing more output than ever, but most of it sounds vaguely, uncomfortably familiar and how most leaders are actively making it worse without knowing it. In 7 minutes, she shares: Why AI isn't the problem — and the uncomfortable place leaders should actually be looking What it takes to build a team of thinkers instead of a team of editors in an age of AI-enabled convenience Why weak internal reasoning always shows up as weak external positioning — and what it actually takes to fix it Defending Depth is a short-form version of the Uncooked podcast.

    Everyone Nods. No One Commits. Design a Decision Room Instead.

    In this episode of Defending Depth, Jacqueline makes the case for analog tools in high-stakes thinking. She shares what happened during a seven-hour workshop with 15 bank executives, including the moment a quiet head of relationship management stood up, grabbed a marker, and changed the whole day. It's a short story about what happens when the room you're in becomes part of the thinking. In 10 minutes, she shares: Why digital tools create a false sense of safety that works against real strategic thinking Why Sharpies produce better thinking than keyboards One question to write on any whiteboard when your team needs to surface the truth they have been avoiding Defending Depth is a short-form version of the Uncooked podcast.

    The Cost of Getting it Right

    In this episode of Defending Depth, Jacqueline gets real about her worst business quarters in seven years and what it taught her about the difference between chasing perfection and pursuing excellence. It starts with a Christmas Eve dinner story you'll recognize. She shares how letting go of rigid thinking changed everything, and how Inner Excellence by Jim Murphy gave her the framework for pursuing excellence through discernment, judgment, and trusting what you've already built. In 9 minutes she will cover: Why separating your identity from your outcomes creates space to grow How to treat your calendar like the strategy document it actually is Why insight matters more than inputs when you're drowning in data How to stay committed to your goals while being flexible on the path Defending Depth is a short-form version of the Uncooked podcast.

    Shortcut Culture is Killing Strategic Thinking

    In this episode of Defending Depth, Jacqueline explores how convenience and shortcuts are slowly weakening strategic thinking. She explains why friction actually helps us think better and how removing it too quickly can dull judgment and meaning. Drawing from The Comfort Crisis and real-world experience, she challenges the idea that faster isn't always better. Instead, she shows how small amounts of discomfort can sharpen thinking and lead to better decisions at work and in life. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why convenience and speed are quietly dulling strategic judgment • How friction trains better thinking, not worse outcomes • What marketers are actually paid for in an age of AI and automation Defending Depth is a short-form version of the Uncooked podcast.
