In this episode of the Go-To-Market Podcast, host Amy Osmond Cook (CMO & Co-Founder of Fullcast) sits down with Jonathan Kvarfordt — known as "Coach K" — VP of GTM Strategy & Marketing at Momentum (now part of Salesforce), founder of the GTM AI Academy, and one of the most credible AI practitioners in the revenue space today.

Jonathan was one of the earliest voices sounding the alarm that AI would reshape GTM long before ChatGPT made it fashionable. He faced ridicule. Now those same critics are calling him for help.

In this conversation, Jonathan shares what separates teams that are actually operationalizing AI from those just buying tools and hoping for results. He shares the story behind Momentum's acquisition by Salesforce, why the "unsexy" foundational work is the real competitive moat, and why human relationships — not automation — are the ultimate differentiator in an AI-saturated world.

In this episode of Silicon Slopes Mental Health Momentum, host Dr. David Morgan, licensed psychologist and Director of Mental Health Awareness at Silicon Slopes, sits down with Aaron Shields, founder of Mountainside, to explore the intersection of mental health, leadership, and human performance.

“The most frustrating, incredible, complicated, beautiful things on Earth are people,” he said, adding that the primary leadership lesson is understanding that performance starts with understanding people, not just process.
From scaling global tech organizations to navigating deeply personal family challenges, Aaron shares a raw and insightful perspective on what it really takes to build high-performing teams—and healthier humans—at the same time.

In this session, Drew Mann and Chris Renner (former US Federal Trade Commission enforcers) break down how innovative companies and their investors can identify anticompetitive conduct early, convert that harm into substantial financial recoveries, and use litigation and regulatory advocacy to remove the barriers standing between a great company and its market.

Whether you're a founder, operator, or investor, this session will change how you think about the competitive threats your company faces and what you can do about them.

Space is limited! RSVP to hold your spot!
