Everyone talks about strategy. Very few teams can execute it.

In this episode of Bridge the Gap, we sit down with Nicole Brownell, Managing Director of Growth and Value Creation at Novo Advisors, to unpack why most go-to-market strategies stall and what it actually takes to build execution that scales.

Nicole shares hard-earned lessons from turnarounds, PE-backed environments, and complex GTM organizations, breaking down where alignment really fails, why RevOps is a system (not a role), and how leaders must bridge strategy, operations, and accountability.

We cover why early growth often hides deeper issues, how misaligned KPIs create downstream friction, and why outcomes, not decks, are redefining modern consulting and operating models.

Key highlights:
✓ Why most companies do not have a growth problem
✓ How RevOps connects strategy, systems, finance, and execution
✓ The real difference between alignment and shared accountability
✓ Why strategy decks fail without embedded execution
✓ What PE-backed companies demand from GTM and operational leaders
✓ How founders mistake early traction for long-term enterprise value

If you are a founder, operator, or GTM leader trying to turn strategy into sustained execution, this episode is for you.

We cover the critical difference between deterministic workflows and agentic AI, why your pretty dashboards are a distraction from execution, and how to build a web of communication between humans and AI that actually scales.

✓ The "Stutter Test": Why most leaders can’t explain how their tools work together 
✓ AI Workflows vs. AI Agents: When to use which for maximum ROI 
✓ Why AI won’t fix broken data

Are you heading into 2026 with real signal or just noise?

In this year-end recap episode of Bridge the Gap, Dale and I break down what actually happened in 2025 across go-to-market. What broke, what worked, and what operators should carry forward into 2026.

Key Highlights

• AI hype crashed because most teams skipped outcomes and guardrails
• AI shelf ware happens when you do not know what you are fixing
• Spam cannons still run even when buyers ignore them

Is your revenue plan stuck on hiring more reps?

In this episode of Bridge the Gap, we sit down with Heath Barnett, VP of Revenue at Mixmax, to break down why most teams hire reactively and how to fix the engine behind growth before adding headcount.

Key Highlights

 ✓ Why companies default to hiring instead of fixing the system
 ✓ ICP tiers that define your motion sales led sell assisted and self-serve
 ✓ Productize sales by defining what good looks like
