The podcasts, YouTube channels, books, newsletters, essays, and research papers I follow and recommend. Mostly B2B GTM, AI, and how software companies grow.

Research papers
How B2B Brands Grow
Jenni Romaniuk, Ehrenberg-Bass
Ehrenberg-Bass extends the laws of brand growth to B2B. The case for why penetration, mental availability, and distinctive assets matter as much in B2B as in consumer markets.
The 95:5 Rule: Why B2B Growth Starts Long Before the Purchase
John Dawes, Ehrenberg-Bass
