  • From Siloed Data to Smart Decisions with AI | Ep 82

    At the Sellwell Conference, host Matt Bertram sits down with Arianna Smetana (Excel IQ Digital) to get practical about AI that actually moves the needle. They unpack how to integrate siloed CRM, ERP, and marketing data; why teams still live in spreadsheets; and how Excel Insights can turn Excel into an interactive, AI-driven analytics layer. They also dig into conversational AI/chatbots for SOPs and internal docs, plus the must-haves for data governance and security (SOC 2 mindset, masking sensitive fields, role-based access).

    You’ll hear real oil-and-gas use cases—from sales/marketing reporting to asset/covenant reporting for lenders—that eliminate manual work, reduce risk, and speed decisions. The episode closes with a simple 30/60/90 plan for standing up AI responsibly so you see ROI fast without creating chaos.

    Perfect for CROs, RevOps, marketing ops, and data leaders who want clean data, clear insights, and closed deals.

  • Reasons To Hate Energy and One to Not | Ep 29

    It finally happened. Kaden has spent 29 episodes teetering on the edge of an electrical meltdown, and now he’s jumped straight into the power plant cooling tank. For this milestone episode — number thirty, the big three-oh — he’s dedicating an entire 1-hour special to the only thing holding the universe together and simultaneously ruining it: energy.

    Yes, the same energy that keeps your lights on, your phone charged, your toaster alive, and your bills mysteriously higher every month. The same energy that promises a brighter tomorrow while setting the present on fire. Kaden’s done pretending to like it. From oil spills that somehow still happen, to fusion’s eternal twenty-year waiting period, to the existential nightmare of lithium — the cursed answer to riddles, batteries, and spontaneous combustion — he’s tearing it all apart.

    This isn’t your average science show. This is a therapy session for anyone who’s ever stared at their electric bill and whispered “how?” It’s a celebration turned intervention, a roast turned revelation. Kaden doesn’t just hate energy — he’s weaponized that hatred into 30 meticulously researched, emotionally unstable, and increasingly unhinged reasons why the thing that powers civilization is also slowly eating it alive.

    And yet, somewhere between the sarcasm, despair, and mild electrocution, there’s one reason — just one — not to hate energy. A reason so profound that it might actually justify the whole disaster. Maybe. Probably not.

    So buckle in, plug in, and pray your Wi-Fi doesn’t go out. It’s the 30th episode of Sparking Interest, and Kaden’s finally doing what no one else has the courage (or the voltage tolerance) to do: hate energy harder than anyone in recorded history.

    Warning: contains science, ranting, emotional burnout, and traces of philosophical battery acid.

  • How to Win RFPs Without Competing on Price | Ep 77

    In this episode of the Oil and Gas Sales Marketing Podcast by OGGN, host Matthew Bertram sits down with Lisa Prusak, CEO of Maxsari, to unpack how strong relationships—not just low bids—win RFPs and long-term business.

    Lisa shares practical lessons from decades in energy, chemicals, and procurement, including how to:

    • Turn RFPs from “a race to the bottom” into relationship opportunities,
    • Educate procurement teams on value instead of price, and
    • Align sales, marketing, and operations around trust and delivery.
    • From a three-year RFP journey with a major energy company to the art of over-delivering for clients, this episode is packed with takeaways for sales leaders, CEOs, and anyone tired of competing on price alone.
