Merry Christmas! You can snuggle up to the fireplace with this final episode of 2023.

I’ve been working with the Navattic team for 1+ years now as an advisor, great team and super love the space they're playing in and the problem they're solving.

I’ve had Natalie on the show before, check out Ep. 139 “To Be The Company That Seems To Be Everywhere, You Need To Eliminate The Funnel Mindset.”

This time we focused on the loaded question "what's the ROI?" on various marketing initiatives.

About Navattic:

• Founded: 2020
• Funding: Seed ($5.4M total)

In this episode:

Why did you podcast; Why did you stop; Will you start back up again with the podcast; LinkedIn Thought Leadership Ads vs. traditional paid ads and top learnings; The interactive demo space is so competitive, how’re you thinking about your positioning;

AMA - Natalie asks me her burning question.
