What happens when your product or website isn't accessible? You lose customers.
Emily Goodson joins us to break down why accessibility should be built in from day one, not added after the fact. We talk about real-world consequences, from failed user experiences to compliance issues, and how small changes can make a meaningful impact
If you are building in fintech or any regulated space, this is a conversation worth paying attention to.

In this episode of In the Loop with Holly & Angi, we sit down with Hanane Bouchareb, Head of Product Management at M1 to talk about the real role product plays in go-to-market strategy. We get into the balance between data and instinct, and why "vibes" actually matter more than people like to admit. When product, marketing, and sales are aligned, it is not just about what gets built. It is about how clearly the team can communicate what matters and why. We also get real about what happens behind the scenes. Features shift, priorities change, and not everything goes according to plan. The teams that win are the ones that stay close to the customer problem and keep everyone aligned as things evolve.

How process, communication, and decision-making quietly break down as teams scale.
In this episode, we sit down with Chrystal Price, founder of In Good Company Co., to talk about something every growing company feels but rarely defines.
We see this in repeated meetings that go nowhere, decisions that never stick, and processes that live in people's heads instead of anywhere others can follow. It often gets labeled as a communication issue, but it runs deeper than that.
We get into how breakdowns in process, decision-making, and culture start to surface as teams grow, and why they are so hard to fix once they are embedded. Chrystal shares how to spot the early signals, what is really causing the friction, and how to start untangling it in a way that sticks.
If you've ever felt like your team is busy but not moving forward, this one will hit close to home.

Our guest this week is Fabiola Salazar, VP of Technology Banking at Wells Fargo.
Fabiola works directly with founders to help them solve one of the most overlooked parts of building a company: choosing the right banking partner.
In this episode, we talk about what fintech founders should expect from their bank, why the relationship matters far more than just opening an account, and how the right banking partner can save a founder time, money, and a lot of future headaches.
Fabiola also shares what to look for in year one, how banks can support growth beyond deposits, and the questions every founder should ask before choosing a banking partner.

In this episode of The GTM Loop, we sit down with Arden Evenson of Firefly Advising to talk about messaging, clarity, and why so many companies make their products harder to understand than they need to be.
Arden shares lessons from her early days at SoFi, why clarity always beats clever copy, and how founders can improve their messaging by focusing on outcomes instead of features. The conversation also touches on AI-generated content, financial inclusion, and why the best messaging often comes directly from the words customers use themselves.

In this episode, Angi and Holly talk about what empathetic selling looks like in fintech and why chasing an ICP just because "they have budget" is not a real strategy.
They unpack what buyers inside financial institutions are worried about, the personal and reputational risk behind every decision, and why the best sellers spend more time listening than pitching. The conversation covers partnership versus vendor mindset, social selling without the pitch slap, and how empathy shows up not just in sales calls, but in hiring, onboarding, and long-term relationships.
If you sell into banks or credit unions, this episode is a reminder that you are always selling to a person first, not just an institution or a budget line.

In this episode, Angi and Holly sit down with Neal Mann, co-founder of Noan, to talk about the part of AI most companies keep avoiding: their foundation.
Neal explains why layering AI on top of broken systems does not work, why documents were never meant to be the backbone of modern businesses, and why facts should be the true system of record. Together, they unpack how clean, connected data changes marketing, sales alignment, compliance, content, and customer trust.
They also explore human-in-the-loop AI, single sources of truth, financial institution realities, and what founders should prioritize if they want to scale without creating more complexity.
This episode is a reminder that AI does not fix chaos; it exposes it.

Sales Kickoff season is here, and Angi and Holly have thoughts.
In this episode, they break down what actually makes an SKO useful and what turns it into a glorified team vacation with better lighting. From comp plans and pipeline math to role-playing trauma, ICP clarity, and why trust matters more than touch counts, this one is packed with honest takes and real operator advice.
They cover how to equip sales teams with tools instead of pep talks, why role-playing belongs in theater not SKOs, how pipeline math gets misunderstood, and what leaders can do to build trust instead of micromanagement.
If your SKO doesn't change how your team sells, it wasn't an SKO. It was just a meeting with snacks.

Let's take a candid look back at what actually changed in GTM over the past year and what didn't.
We talk through the real shifts we saw in 2025, including the return of in-person events, the growing focus on credit unions, how rising conference costs are changing how teams show up, and why curated conversations are replacing big booths and big budgets.
We also dig into how search, AI, and social selling are reshaping visibility, why tighter ICPs matter more than ever, and what teams need to stop doing as they plan for the year ahead. From pipeline discipline and content creation to practical adoption of AI and voice tools, this is an honest year-end conversation grounded in what we're seeing work in the field.

Angi and Holly get real about early pipeline. We cover how to define an ICP, why you need at least three buyer personas, and what it takes to reach a cold contact. Hint: plan for 8 to 12 touchpoints. We unpack channel preferences, why text can beat cold calls, and how to warm specific accounts with domain-targeted LinkedIn ads. Most of all, we show how sales and marketing share signals so messaging evolves, campaigns have time to work, and progress is measured by engagement and learning, not just demos.
We explain how to define your ICP and core personas, plan meaningful touchpoints, and mix text, email, events, and targeted ads to reach the right audience. You'll hear why consistency wins, which metrics matter most, and how stories outperform feature lists in every sales conversation.
Listen if you are building your first repeatable lead gen motion or are tired of "pitch slap" outreach and want a human approach that actually moves deals forward.
