ANECDOTE

Four Days At A Conference Changed Strategy

Carolyn and Amber attended Above the Fold and recorded lots of content while crystallizing strategy through in-person conversations.
Four days of hallway chats, networking, and joint troubleshooting delivered clearer product and GTM direction than months of remote work.

INSIGHT

AI Wins When It Solves Specific Workflow Friction

AI use cases that matter are simple, first-principles tools that solve specific workflow friction for teams.
Example: Mojo PMM uses AI to enforce product messaging and generate persona-tailored decks so sellers can't go rogue on brand.

ANECDOTE

Mojo PMM Stopped Sellers Going Rogue

Amber and Carolyn demoed Mojo PMM with Eric Holland and saw AI enforce messaging and score adherence across channels.
Mojo pulls sales call recordings and web copy to score conformity and produce on-brand, persona-specific sales materials.

This one's a little different. No guest, no agenda. Just Carolyn and Passetto co-founder Amber, recording live from Pompano Beach after four days at the Above the Fold conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

They unpacked everything they took away from the event: the conversations that stuck, the moments that shifted how they think about Passetto, and the stuff that made them want to flip a table.

What we cover:

Why showing up in person hits completely different and how four days in Florida generated more strategic clarity than months of Zoom calls
The AI use cases that actually impressed them (and why most AI content is a race to the bottom)
What Gaetano DiNardi and Jess Cook taught them about content, programmatic SEO, and why volume without expertise is killing small companies
The Mojo PMM demo that made them rethink product marketing enablement entirely
Why attribution is still the default answer to "how do you measure marketing" and why that's a problem
The ex-Amazon CMO who said marketing doesn't need to do more, it needs to stop leaking revenue (and what that means in practice)
The light bulb moment about what Passetto customers actually need help with (hint: it's not just the analytics)
Their live appearance on the Notorious B2B show and some light beef that turned into a fun conversation

Raw, unfiltered, and recorded before Carolyn had to catch her flight.
