Champions aren’t who they used to be.
Andrew Morton breaks down how the role of a "champion" in the sales process has shifted (and why your team might need to rethink what that actually means).
He gets into the real talk around:
- What a CRO is actually responsible for now
- Why modern buying committees are so complex (and how to map them)
- How to spot, support, and activate your true internal champions
The convo digs into what makes or breaks buy-in, the weight of social proof, and why trust is your brand’s strongest currency right now.
Also: AI in content creation, measuring brand momentum through search volume, and why ignoring branded search terms might be costing you more than you think.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
