Building Content, Credibility, and Community in Healthcare IT

Healthcare IT doesn't care about your cold emails. Larry Kaiser learned this the hard way. In this episode, Larry and Carlos break down what happens when you build a marketing program in an industry where relationships trump everything. From cutting a website's word count by 60% to turning subject matter experts into content collaborators using AI (but keeping it human), Larry's approach is methodical, grounded, and refreshingly free of traditional marketing tactics. They talk about why lead gen services get politely declined every week, why half his budget goes to events, and how growing a LinkedIn community by 188% in two years translates to real pipeline. If you've ever wondered whether content actually drives revenue or just makes you feel productive, this one's required listening.

Turning Events Into Real Revenue

COVID crushed events. Then AI, automation, and inbox spam made everyone forget how to talk to people. In this episode, Jocelyn Sexton and Carlos break down what's actually working with events, and why the ROI isn't in the booth. From "just go to the bar" tactics to how to avoid webinar fatigue, they show how to make people care, follow up like a human, and stop treating every interaction like a pitch. Whether it's a conference, a dinner, or a podcast, if you're not building a real relationship, you're just wasting time, effort, and budget.

If Clicks Closed Deals, We'd All be Rich

The buyer's journey has changed and so should your marketing. In this episode, Jeff Bradburry and Carlos Corredor talk through how the shift to digital has changed what marketing needs to focus on. It's no longer about pushing content or chasing clicks, but about creating qualified opportunities that lead to real pipeline. They challenge the idea of being "data-driven" when the data is just clicks, and explain why cold email or paid search still have value—it all depends on where the buyer is in their process. If your marketing isn't tied to sales, it's not doing its job.

Person-to-person beats Company-to-persona

There's something about B2B that makes marketers want to sound like robots. Brian Krenzer's not here for it. In this episode, he and Carlos break down what B2B marketers can steal from consumer brands—and what they still get wrong. From defining your ICP to fixing the planning phase, Brian's take is practical, punchy, and grounded in math. Not vibes. They talk about how your buyer is a person (not a persona), how to explain your product in three sentences (or less), why metrics without context are a trap, and how first-party data is now more important than ever. If you're chasing ROAS without knowing margin, you're not managing pipeline. You're gambling with a blindfold. And if you've ever run paid ads that "performed" but still got you fired, this one's for you.
