We got to sit down with Carol Carpenter, CMO at Unity, for this podcast, diving into many questions that are top of mind for founders.

Carol has led an incredible career. Before Unity, she was the CMO at VMware, ClearSlide and the Global VP of Marketing for Google Cloud. Carol also stepped in and became CEO of ElasticBox, which she helped get acquired by Lumen.

One area of focus was building exceptional teams. Carol made a great point about hiring people not just because they were previously at an amazing company but focusing on what they have done in their careers and what they have learned, especially from their failures.

There are advantages to bringing on team members who have experienced some failure in their careers. "Failure is an amazing teacher."

In this conversation, we discuss:

💡 Carol’s leadership background

💡 Advice for early-stage founders

💡 The future of AI in marketing
