In this episode of The Fast Slow Motion Podcast, Eric Housh sits down with Max Bevan, Principal Account Executive at Fast Slow Motion, to dig into one of the most common frustrations in growing businesses: a pipeline that looks full but isn't closing.
Max walks through how pipelines drift as businesses scale, why the hero model breaks down over time, and what the real first steps look like when a business decides to ...
Bryan Gray, founder and CEO of Revenue Path Group, joins Eric Housh to talk about why deals stall even when pipelines look healthy. Most sellers are entering the buying journey too late and at the wrong level, chasing pain points that prospects will never actually act on.
The conversation covers Bryan's Three Deadly Cs, the difference between a pain point and a priority, and how to get in front of the right buyers be...
In most growing businesses, there comes a point where the owner becomes the bottleneck. The habits and instincts that made them successful early on are the same ones that start working against them as the business grows. John Burdett, CEO of Fast Slow Motion, joins Eric Housh to talk about why that happens, why awareness alone isn't enough to change it, and what it actually takes to build a business that doesn't run...

Today, Slade leads that same third-generation family business as CEO, serving fire departments and public safety agencies across the Southeast. But getting here required more than hard work. It required that Slade take an honest look at how he was leading and decide to do something about it.

Peter Caputa, CEO of Databox, joins Eric Housh to talk about why having more data hasn't made most companies any better at using it. The real problem isn't the technology, it's the habit. Most businesses treat data like a report card they read after the semester's over, rather than a tool they use to adapt in real time.
Pete walks through his inputs-outputs-outcomes framework, the OGI model he built on top of OKRs, a...
Henry Hays has guided more than 200 companies through AI adoption across banking, healthcare, energy, and high-growth businesses. In this episode, he joins Eric Housh and co-host Zack Terry to talk about why so many businesses understand that AI matters but can't seem to make it actually work.

Jonathan walks through the security changes hitting the...
Eric Housh sits down with David Flick, Principal Account Executive at Fast Slow Motion, to unpack why so many Salesforce implementations fall short and what it actually takes to get them right. The tension is rarely technical. It's the disconnect between what leaders expect when they buy the platform and what it takes to make it work.
David and Eric cover the patterns that cause implementations to struggle, including...
In this episode of The Fast Slow Motion Podcast, Eric Housh sits down with Max Bevan, Principal Account Executive at Fast Slow Motion, to challenge a misconception most growing companies hold: that buying the right tools is the same as having a revenue system. Max argues that technology without process is just an expensive guess — and that the real problem isn't the software, it's the strategy behind it.
The co...

In this episode of The Fast Slow Motion Podcast, Eric Housh talks with Fast Slow Motion Director of AI Zack Terry about why AI in Action exists and what business leaders actually need from AI conversations right now.

They unpack what AI readiness really means, why process and context matter mor...
In this episode, Eric Housh and Michael Johnson talk with Steve Heroux, founder of The Sales Collective and author of The Sales Contrarian, about why many sales teams struggle even when they have capable people. The conversation explores how pressure for outcomes often replaces the process, leadership, and coaching that actually support consistent performance.
Steve challenges common assumptions about quotas, forecas...
In this episode, Sam Donaghey and Todd Coder talk with Adam Alfano, President of Global SMB and Emerging Products at Salesforce, about what AI actually means for small and mid-sized businesses right now. The tension is clear: move with urgency or risk being outpaced.
