We were joined for an important conversation with Tara Francois, Global VP of Sales Engineering at Smartsheet.

We are thrilled to host Alex Shootman, CEO of Alkami and former CEO of Workfront to discuss why he believes being a frontline manager is the hardest job in any company.

We talk to Noah Jenkins about how he is always building his network and how relying on your recruiter to fill your candidate pipeline is a sure-fire way to fail at building your team (and will alienate your recruiter as well)

Welcome to Chris and Jeff's podcast about building, growing and coaching high performing teams. They've both been in GTM roles for decades and have created this forum to share the best lessons from their careers and their guests.

We hope you enjoy!
