Why Hyper-Growth Actually Starts With Yo...

Knownwell
About this episode

What if your next wave of growth isn’t about chasing new logos—but mining gold from the clients you already have?

In this cepisode, CMO Courtney Baker challenges the traditional growth mindset with Knownwell’s CEO David DeWolf and Chief Product and Technology Officer Mohan Rao. Together, they break down why net revenue retention (NRR) is the real growth lever, especially for professional services firms. They explore the inefficiencies of over-investing in new sales and reveal how failing to rigorously manage and measure existing relationships is holding companies back from true scalability and predictable growth.

Meanwhile, Pete Buer dives into the latest AI in the Wild: Meta’s audacious push toward artificial general intelligence, led by Scale AI’s Alexander Wang. Is this the next paradigm shift or just Metaverse 2.0?

And back by popular demand—it’s the return of the AI Snake Draft! Courtney, David, and Mohan face off with their must-have AI tools for 2025. Which apps have become indispensable? Which tools are heading to the D-League? Find out who steals the draft with surprises, strategy, and a little smack talk.
