In this episode of the Go-To-Market Podcast, host Amy Cook, Co-Founder and CMO at Fullcast, sits down with Shamir Duverseau, Co-Founder, Managing Director and Chief Strategist at Smart Panda Labs, to challenge one of marketing’s biggest blind spots.

Most companies obsess over the click—the ad creative, the targeting, the cost per acquisition. But what happens after the click is often where deals are actually won or lost.

This conversation explores the evolving role of marketers, why marketing and sales alignment still breaks down, and how understanding human behavior and buyer psychology can dramatically improve lead quality and long-term customer value.

At the DC Blockchain Summit on March 17, The Digital Chamber awarded the first TDC State Network grants to organizations from Utah, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, and West Virginia. These groups stood out from 41 applicants for their action-oriented proposals aimed at advancing education, policy development, and adoption of digital assets in their states.  

 “TDC’s State Network is about empowering grassroots leaders that are advocating for smart digital asset policy at the state level.  We have found the best way to support these local builders, many of whom are volunteers, is to provide funding that allows them to turn their policy initiatives into action. 

These leading organizations are on the front line of digital asset policy action in their states, and the contributions they make towards developing sensible policy solutions at the state level is critical to the future of the industry across the nation.” said State Network’s Executive Director, Anastasia Dellaccio. 

 The recipients, including Utah Blockchain Coalition, were selected based on key criteria, including stated goals and policy alignment with TDC’s digital assets policy goals, and will receive $2000 to continue to grow in their community. 

The Utah Blockchain Coalition is an association in Utah that drives blockchain-centric public policy initiatives to educate government officials about the benefits of blockchain technology and a strong community ecosystem in Utah. 

With this grant, the UBC plans to convene elected officials, innovators, and policy advocates for a discussion and informative working session around key blockchain trends and how Utah should position itself legislatively for digital asset adoption.
