Why does a Scientist make an awesome Customer Obsessed Revenue Growth Leader? #TheLabMindset

I was literally trained to experiment. Be extremely curious. Test, Refine and iterate! 

Research like a boss and use system level thinking!

It builds resilience (failure = reiterative process to get the desired outcome).

Document like a boss - I was trained if it wasn't written in black ink it didn't happen. 

Data driven decision making. Look for patterns to determine the best "lever" to change.

Embrace Change - always looking for ways to improve productivity/efficiency which help me look at the end-to-end CX (hello, bowtie) and find ways to reduce cost to serve for sustained profitability. 

Process/Frameworks are critical - how else do you design an experiment? (for business =GTM- Revenue Architecture model)

Communication -lots of papers written and one of my ninja skills is simplifying the complex so anyone could understand!

Present my findings and get grilled - Objection & Rejection proofed because I proactively prepared and expected this to occur.

Pavilion, formally Revenue Collective, is a private membership organization for commercial growth operators. Our community is designed to support the professional development of revenue leaders at high growth companies, facilitate the sharing of best practices, and serve as a trusted private community.

This reminded me of something we forget too often: connection is a strategy.

I flew to Vegas for 🍽️ this week. 

Before you give me 😒, I wasn’t the only one. 

The Wednesday Women Dinner sponsored by Sendoso  was more than a networking event; it was a reminder that real growth happens in conversations where the masks come off.

Because when women gather with intention…

💜We show up fully.

Not the polished LinkedIn version but our real selves.

💜We strengthen our circles.

Reconnecting with women who challenge us, cheer for us, and remind us of who we are.

💜We talk about what’s really going on.

Not just pipeline or productivity.
But the season we’re navigating, the weight we’re carrying, the wins we’re proud of, and the things we’re still figuring out.

I left feeling grounded, inspired, and grateful.

If you’re looking for “what’s next” in your career or your life…

Start by showing up.

The right rooms will meet you halfway.

And the 7 course meal & wine pairing was out of this world but just an added bonus. IYKYK

Gratitude gets all the spotlight this week. 

But here’s a twist: I’m just as thankful for the grit as I am for the grace.

It’s easy to give thanks for what went right: the wins, the milestones, and the good calls.

But the moments that shaped me most this year? 

The ones that stretched my patience, tested my confidence, and forced me to refine the systems underneath.

Gratitude without grit is surface-level. 

Grit without gratitude is burnout.
 
Together, they build resilience, and the kind of leadership that lasts.
 
What challenge are you most grateful for this year ...the one that grew you the most?

AI is not allowed in the kitchen 🤣 and definitely no clones! 🤖 

Happy Thanksgiving y'all. 🦃

It's official thanks to Empressa AI.

I'm a certified Instructor in AI Foundations.

My proudest moment - facilitating a cohort and watching an attendee go from wondering if they were in the right room to being excited about the possibilities.

My legacy has always been focused on "transformation" - being the spark for others to see what's possible.

And this is just another way I get to make an impact.

January 23rd there will be another cohort. Sign up link in the comments.

#AIliteracy #leadership

I’ve been refining something behind the scenes in my 5-9.
 
It’s not a new title or product but a way the help everyone experiment, refine and iterate because progress over perfection!

In January, I’m launching The Refinery a monthly newsletter:

👉 one insight

👉 one system 

👉 one experiment the first Tuesday of each month

All to help you lead with clarity.

No noise. 

No inbox overload.

Just refined ideas that turn intention into motion.

Celebrating the Small Wins

We talk a lot about the big wins in our careers. 

The headlines. 

The titles.

The trophies.

But the truth is, the big wins take time.

They're slow.

They're built through the quiet moments where no one is watching.

It's the small wins that actually fuel us.

The consistent effort. 

The uncomfortable growth.

The times you choose to show up with courage when it would be easier not too.

The little experiments that didn't seem like much until one of them changed everything.

This award is a reminder that none of its wasted. 

Every rep counts. 

Every refinement matters.

If you're working towards something that feels far away, keep going. 

Celebrate the small steps. 

They are not the prelude to the big win....they are the win!

And I'm grateful for every one of them.

Cheers to those small wins that transform us along the way.

What small win are you celebrating?

Happy Thanksgiving Y'all 🦃 🤠 

While life has a way of hitting back hard, and not everything on my 2025 bingo card is something I would have chosen for myself .....

I've always been a glass half-full and strong belief that things are happening for me (and yes, rejection is protection).

There are so many things that I'm thankful for and it starts with you and your support - 7K+ of you and counting.

Wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving.

#gratitude #thankful #HappyThanksgiving

Sobremesa - my new favorite word

The plates are empty, the wine’s half gone, and no one’s reaching for their phone ....just ideas, laughter, and truth.

You know that moment, the one after the meal.

 The conversation deepens.

 The laughter softens.

 Time slows down.

 No one’s in a rush to leave because what’s happening around the table is rare: people being fully present.

These are the moments I live for.

 The ones where connection turns into collaboration.

 Where ideas start flowing, walls come down, and you leave feeling seen and inspired.

We chase big wins, big goals, big stages… but sometimes the most powerful spaces are the small ones.... where trust builds in real time.
If we could bottle that energy , curiosity, listening, genuine exchange, and bring it into our teams, our meetings, our lives...

Imagine what we could create.

When was the last time you stayed long after the meal because the conversation was just that good?

Shoutout to 🌎 Jacquelyn Nicholson and Krysten Conner for another memorable dinner in the books. Ladies, we need to remember to take pics.

Open the door! 🚪 

Most people say they’re waiting for the right opportunity.

But the truth?
Most people don’t even realize the door is already open.

We picture opportunity as this dramatic moment spotlights, trumpets, a clear sign pointing the way.

But in real life?

Opportunity usually looks like a cracked door you’re scared to push on.

I’ve walked through a few doors in my own life:

🔹 From clinical scientist to go-to-market leader
🔹 International moves
🔹 From “maybe someday” to actually building the life and career I wanted

None of these moments showed up as a grand entrance.

They showed up quietly disguised as a whisper, a nudge, a feeling that said: “Try. Just try.”

But here’s the provocative part:

Most people aren’t stuck because they lack opportunity.

They’re stuck because they’re unwilling to walk through uncomfortable doors.

Doors that require you to bet on yourself.

Doors that ask you to leave an outdated identity behind.

Doors that don’t guarantee applause on the other side.

Every transformation ,every reinvention,starts the same way:

You notice the door.

You get curious.

You take one step.

And then everything changes.

So here’s the real question for this season of your life:

👉 Are you actually open to the possibilities in front of you… or are you waiting for permission to walk through the door?

Because no one’s coming to open it for you.
You do that.

One step.
One choice.
One door at a time.

Excuse my crazy Saturday hair. 🤣 

Shoutout to Sendoso for my Winter Wellness Kit because self-care is NOT selfish.

This was such a nice touch that just keeps the Vegas Wednesday Women experience one of my November highlights.

This is your PSA to find the right community because there's nothing like great conversations and experiences to light you up!

December used to feel like the month you wind down.

Now?

It feels like the month I level up.

It’s my birthday month. 🏹 🎂 Don't judge - yes, I really celebrate me all month!

My reflection month. 🪞 

 My decision-making month. 🤔 

 My “step into your next version” month. 🚶‍♀️‍➡️ 

I’m not rushing.

 I’m not forcing.

 I’m simply choosing to grow intentionally, consistently, boldly.

This is my season. 🙌 

The one where I back myself fully, refine as I go, and build the life + work I actually want.

Let's face it work life balance is a MYTH. It's about priorities and I'm being even more intentional about my 5-9.

If you feel the shift too… welcome.

Lean in and buckle up because success is messy! (yep, another #randisueism)

Share what you're leaning into in the comments.

“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” 
-The Great One aka Wayne Gretzky 🏒 

I submitted an application to speak on the stage at TEDx Princeton.

I reached the first round (which I celebrate 🎉) and then didn’t get the final cut (which I own).

On the surface, a “no” feels like a rejection. 

But through the lens of the #labmindset where success is messy, testing/refining/iterating is built in this is simply data for the next cycle.

Here's what I’m affirming:

🙌 I said yes to the shot. That matters.

🔁 I’ll refine the pitch, the message, the delivery.

🔇 The stage I didn’t get today is not the only stage I’ll ever get.

🗣️ Missing this one doesn’t mean I’ll never speak. It means I’ll speak better.

Big ambitions carry messy processes. If everything were clean, we’d never grow. 

The mess signals: you’re doing something real.

If you’re in that “first round / almost / not yet” zone please keep shooting.
 
The truth is: the only guaranteed miss is the shot you never take.

What shot are you going to take (or retake) this week?

#GrowthMindset #RefinementLoop #Leadership #SpeakUp

😴🐾 when mom‘s up too early working on side hustle her coworkers are low energy 🤣

#sunday #earlystart

Lately I’ve been thinking about how intentional we are (or aren’t) about what’s next.

Not the 5-year “perfect plan” kind of next.

The honest next:
➡️ The next chapter
➡️ The next experiment
➡️ The next version of you

One of my favorite ways to get clear is revisiting Ikigai – I-K-I-G-A-I – that sweet spot where:

   •   What you love
   •   What you’re good at
   •   What the world needs
   •   What you can be paid for

all overlap.

Most of us don’t sit down and rethink this after our early career. 

We just keep going. Promotions. New titles. Bigger goals. Same autopilot.

But here’s what I know:
   •   It’s never too late to start something that feels more aligned.

   •   It’s never too late to try something completely new.

   •   And every journey is wildly, beautifully unique. There is no “behind.”

If you gave yourself permission to be really intentional about what’s next……
 not what’s expected, but what’s true for you ……
what would you explore?

👉 What’s the “something” you’re quietly thinking about that might be next?

Drop it in the comments or just write it down for yourself. Naming it is the first step to making it real.

#growthmindset #leadership

Eat the freaking cake.

For years, I let other people’s opinions live rent-free in my head.

“Should you really be eating that?”

“You’d look so much better if…”

“Wow, that’s… a bold outfit.” 

As women, it can feel like our bodies, our plates, our wardrobes and even our careers are open for public comment. 

All. The. Time.

Here’s where I’ve landed:

I’m done apologizing for existing.

I’m done “earning” treats.

I’m done shrinking myself to make other people comfortable.

If I want the dessert, I’m going to eat the freaking cake.

Not every moment of my life has to be optimized, tracked, or justified.

Because life is short.

Because joy is not a reward, it’s a requirement.

Because the people who matter don’t love me for the size of my jeans or the calories on my plate.

They value my impact, my heart, my brain, and my voice.

So here’s my nudge for you today:

   •   Wear the outfit you actually love.

   •   Order the dessert.

   •   Take up space in the room and at the table.

You don’t need permission to enjoy your own life.

🍰 What’s your version of “the cake” that you’ve been telling yourself you have to earn first?

What I do is step in, audit their GTM strategy, financials, and operations, and then engineer a smarter, more scalable system (typically including AI).

Healthcare should work like everything else in our lives — convenient, transparent, and built around the people it serves.

That's what we're building at Experity: a patient experience that feels less like navigating a system and more like having a concierge. 

On-demand access. 

Digital-first workflows. 

Intelligent connections between care moments. 

And critically, less administrative burden on the clinicians who make it all possible.

Our new partnership with Amazon Pharmacy is a perfect example of this vision in action. 

Patients walk out of an urgent care visit and get their prescriptions delivered fast, with full pricing transparency. 

No extra trips. 

No pharmacy lines. 

Just care that continues seamlessly after the visit ends.

This is what modern healthcare should feel like.

...and this is only one of many things we are doing to solve these problems.

Congrats to Amanda, Katie and the 1mind team for their Series A raise! 

Watching them build “always-on, infinitely knowledgeable” AI employees that anyone can access.

The implications are massive - not just for how we structure teams, but for how we think about deploying AI agents across the organization.

This is fundamentally rethinking what work gets done by humans vs. agents, and how org structures evolve when knowledge and capability can be instantly accessible to everyone.

Excited to see the evolution of 1Mind and what this team does!

A lot of people think they are behind in AI deployments based on the LinkedIn and X messages giving them FOMO. 

Let me bring some light to the situation so you don’t get a false narrative from the algorithms. 

If you aren’t experimenting daily/weekly, you are behind. 

If you haven’t deployed AI or agents at scale yet, you aren’t behind yet. 

Most deployments fail. Why? 

Data is messy. 

Most processes aren’t documented properly. 

Change management with people is hard. 

This is why you aren’t behind. 

You have do the unsexy and hard work first and then you will get success from your AI and agent deployments. 

Take your time, do it right, and you will get the outcomes you are needing. 

We see this in real life and through published research. 

Share your story of successful or unsuccessful AI deployments. Here to help and learn.

Same market. Same physics. Different systems.

Over a century ago, Amelia Earhart flew by the same laws that govern flight today... lift, drag, thrust, gravity. 

But we're flying 100x faster now. Not because the physics changed.

Because the systems evolved.

That's where GTM is right now.

You've probably seen the chart showing where we missed the pivot. 

The one that makes your stomach drop a little. 

That red zone between 2020-2023 where everyone should've been building different but kept throwing bodies at growth problems instead.

Capital was cheap. Risk-taking was even cheaper. So we hired early-career SDRs, AEs, and CSMs. 

We brute-forced our way to pipeline with headcount. 

We measured productivity per person.

And honestly? It worked. Until it didn't.

Now capital scarcity is forcing something we should've done years ago....operational efficiency. 

But here's what nobody's saying out loud: this isn't just about doing more with less.

It's about fundamentally rethinking the infrastructure.

The shift from SaaS-native to AI-native isn't a feature update. 

It's a systems overhaul.

Think about what changed from 2008 to 2023: 
→ People were the compound growth lever 
→ Hired fast, trained faster, measured activity 
→ Success = bodies in seats generating pipeline

But look at 2023 forward: 
→ Systems become the compound growth lever 
→ Low-cost intelligence via LLMs 
→ Success = growth loops built on usage data, not headcount

Here's what we're seeing:

→ Data becomes the moat, not messaging: Your CRM is full of signals about what actually works. Most companies ignore this goldmine and keep running the same plays.
→ Growth loops replace growth hacks: Product usage feeds GTM intel. GTM intel feeds product improvements. It's circular, not linear.
→ AI isn't a feature, it's the foundation: You don't bolt AI onto your existing process. 

You rebuild the process around what AI makes possible.

Look, I get it. This feels scary. Changing systems while you're flying the plane? 

That's not a metaphor—it's literally what we're all doing right now.

But the physics haven't changed. 

Customers still need solutions. 

Problems still need solving. 

Value still needs creating.

What's changing is how efficiently we can do it.

The companies that figure this out are the ones that build AI as infrastructure instead of just another tool. 

Those are the ones that'll be flying 100x faster while everyone else is still trying to hire more pilots.

Thanks Jacco for bringing forward the amazing research and POV on GTM in the AI era! 

Happy to be on the journey with you as an Ambassabor for Winning by Design and Founding Member of the Growth Institute.

Hope everyone had an amazing holiday, I took some time off and disconnected, hope you did as well. A lot happened and I am going to share thoughts on it all this week, plus some expansive thoughts on AI-native GTM. 

But first.. let's get into some of the things that happened over the last week or so. 
 
Meta just gave ChatGPT, Copilot, and Perplexity their eviction notice from WhatsApp Business API. Wonder if ChatGPT group chats accelerated this.. 
 
Official reason: "Business API is for transactional messaging, not AI assistant distribution."
 
Real reason: Meta wants Meta AI to own the playground.
 
Think about that.
 
This isn't a WhatsApp problem. It's a "building on someone else's rails" problem.
 
→ Meta wants Meta AI 
→ Google wants Gemini everywhere  
→ Microsoft wants Copilot in everything
 
That brief magical period where AI assistants could meet customers wherever they were? It's ending faster than anyone expected.
 
What does this mean for your GTM org?
 
If you're using AI chatbots on third-party platforms for customer conversations, you've got three immediate problems:
 
→ Platform risk you can't control. That Slack integration, that LinkedIn automation, that WhatsApp bot—they can all disappear with 90 days notice. Your workflows, your data, your customer relationships. Gone.

→ Data you can't move. Most of these integrations don't let you export conversation history. When the platform pulls the plug, you're starting from scratch. Every insight, every customer interaction, every qualification step—locked in someone else's system.

→ GTM strategies built on borrowed time. If your outbound motion, your customer success workflows, or your sales enablement depends on tools you don't control, you're one terms-of-service update away from scrambling.
 
The companies winning right now? They're building AI on infrastructure they own, and integrating strategically where it makes sense. But they never confuse the two.
 
The question for every GTM leader:
 
Where are you building your AI integrations?
 
Because if the answer is "on platforms we don't control," you need to answer three more questions:
 
1. What happens when they change the rules overnight?
2. Can you actually migrate your customer data if you need to?
3. Who owns the conversation history with your customers?
 
The pattern here is old. The speed is new.
 
Every platform eventually prioritizes its own ecosystem. MySpace did it. Facebook did it. Twitter did it.
 
But the AI platforms are doing it in months, not years.
 
My take:
 
Build where you own the rails. Integrate where you don't. But never confuse the two.
 
And if you're relying on third-party AI integrations for customer conversations? Audit that data portability. Today.
 
Because the walls are going up faster than anyone thought possible.

MCP has been live for a year.

Most GTM leaders still have no idea what it means for them.

That's about to change.

Anthropic just showed why Model Context Protocol with code execution is the infrastructure shift everyone's been sleeping on.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴:

Since November 2024, developers have been building on MCP. Thousands of integrations. Every major programming language. The protocol is becoming the standard for connecting AI to tools and data.

But here's the problem most companies are hitting right now.

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗔𝗜 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁

Every time your AI needs to access Salesforce, check HubSpot, pull from Drive, send a Slack—it's reading every instruction manual first. Then manually copying data between systems. Word by word.

Not slow. Broken.

Most teams added MCP integrations and wondered why everything still felt sluggish.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱

Code execution with MCP changes the entire game.

Instead of AI following instructions, it writes code.

The numbers are wild

Before: 150,000 tokens processed just to access your tools

After: 2,000 tokens to run the same workflow

That's 98.7% reduction in processing. 75x faster. 75x cheaper.

Same task. Different architecture.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗚𝗧𝗠

Remember when you tried connecting your entire tech stack... Salesforce, Gong, calendar, Drive, Slack, data warehouse... and it didn't work well?

Code execution fixes that.

You can finally run complex workflows that actually work

"Pull this week's calls from Gong → identify pricing objections → cross-reference closed-lost in Salesforce → draft personalized responses → send to reps in Slack."

Used to crash halfway through. Now runs in 2 minutes.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴

Your AI saves its own workflows.

First time it analyzes competitor mentions, it figures it out. Every time after, it just runs the saved playbook. Your AI gets better at YOUR specific business. Not generic tasks.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴

MCP launched a year ago. Code execution just showed why it matters.

Most GTM teams are still treating AI like fancy ChatGPT... one task at a time, slow, expensive, breaks on complexity.

The companies that win will be the ones whose AI actually scales across their full tech stack. 

Fast. Reliable. At cost that makes sense.

That infrastructure just became real.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗔𝗜 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗻'𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝘁?

OpenAI is coming for where you work today, the browser. 

They bought Sky , which builds browser-based AI agents that sit 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 the tools your team already uses.

And they dropped Atlas - their new "AI teammate" that can browse the web, fill forms, and execute workflows autonomously.

Connect the dots:

→ ChatGPT already has 800M+ weekly active users 
→ Sky's tech lets AI operate directly in browsers 
→ Atlas can now execute tasks across web applications 
→ Your CRM, your outreach tools, your data entry... all vulnerable

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘁𝗹𝗲:

Phase 1: Get everyone dependent on ChatGPT for thinking 
Phase 2: Acquire the tech that lets AI act in their workspace 
Phase 3: Launch agents that can 𝘥𝘰 the work, not just suggest it 
Phase 4: Own the entire workflow from insight to execution

Your sales team uses Salesforce? Atlas can update it. 
Your SDRs use Outreach? Atlas can send sequences. 
Your ops team does data entry? Atlas can handle spreadsheets.

This isn't about making your team more efficient.

𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗔𝗜 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵.

And here's the brutal truth nobody wants to say out loud:

Most AI companies spent 2024 building point solutions - better email writers, smarter dialers, faster research tools. 

OpenAI is positioning itself to make a lot of point solutions obsolete by owning the execution layer itself.

The question isn't whether your tools will integrate with OpenAI's agents.

The question is whether your tools will even matter when those agents can operate through a browser better than your team can.

We're not in the "AI features" era anymore.

𝗪𝗲'𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 "𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲" 𝘄𝗮𝗿.

And OpenAI just fired the first real shot at the application layer where revenue teams actually live and work.

How are you rethinking your tech stack?

OpenAI is going after so many places right now to before the de facto interface for consumers…

Group chats in ChatGPT are now piloting in Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, and Taiwan.

A new way to collaborate with friends, family, or coworkers and ChatGPT in the same conversation.

WDYT?

graphical user interface, text, application, chat or text message

I used ChatGPT Voice to prep my AWS re:Invent presentation and interview.
 
Walking around my hotel. Inside. Outside. Hands-free. No typing. No switching screens.
 
I've been obsessed with conversational UX/UI since before it was cool.
 
My thesis: Voice is how humans naturally communicate. So voice will become how we interact with computers.
 
Not as a novelty. As the primary interface.
 
I now talk to my computer and phone about 80% of the time instead of typing.
 
Not because I'm trying to be futuristic. Because it's faster. More natural. Less friction between thought and action.
 
And what ChatGPT just shipped? Validation that this shift is real.
 
Voice is now just... part of the conversation. No toggle. No separate mode. You talk. Text appears. You see images, maps, code—all while speaking.
 
Mobile. Web. Everyone. Right now.
 
Here's what I actually did:
 
Presentation tomorrow. High stakes.
 
I opened ChatGPT and just... talked. While walking around the hotel. Through the lobby. Outside. Back to my room.
 
"Help me practice my presentation."
 
Then I delivered my intro. Out loud. Moving. Like I would on stage.
 
ChatGPT listened. Analyzed. Gave me specific feedback: 
→ "Your hook is strong but arrives 30 seconds late" 
→ "You used 'basically' three times in 90 seconds" 
→ "Your transition to the data point needs more punch"
 
Then we iterated. Live. Conversationally. Like having a coach beside me.
 
This isn't about voice recognition getting better.
 
It's about eliminating the cognitive load of interacting with technology.
 
What's different now:
 
Before: "Hey Siri, SET TIMER for 10 minutes" (command) 
Now: "I need to prep for a meeting in about 10 minutes" (intent)
 
The computer figures out what you need.
 
This is about eliminating context switching in the workflow that matters most.
 
Current reality:
 
A rep has a call in 12 minutes with a VP of Sales at a $50M ARR company.
 
They need to: 
→ Pull up account history
→ Review past conversations 
→ Check recent company news 
→ Find relevant case studies 
→ Draft discovery questions 
 
Five tools. Four logins. Twelve minutes.
 
That rep walks into that call underprepared. Every. Single. Time.
 
Now imagine this:
 
11 minutes before the call, they open one interface and just... talk:
 
"What do I need to know about Acme Corp before my call with their VP of Sales?"
 
And they get—while putting on their headset—account context, recent news, suggested questions, similar customer stories, and potential objections.
 
No tabs. No logins. No mode switching.
 
The best GTM tool isn't the one with the most integrations.
 
It's the one that disappears into the flow of actual selling.
 
For the last decade, we've built GTM tech like this:
 
"Here's a dashboard for analytics. Here's a portal for content. Here's a tool for sequences. Here's another tool for intelligence."
 
The future looks like this:
 
"Just talk. We'll handle the rest."
