Hey there,

Rob here again.

Quick change up from our usual GTM breakdowns this month. Instead, I want to share the podcasts and creators that keep showing up in my weekly rotation — the ones I actually listen to on repeat.

As Head of Marketing at Compound Planning (and co-founder of IndustryGTM on the side), I'm always hunting for people doing interesting stuff with GTM, AI, and growth.

Here are five I keep coming back to:

🎙️ Greg Isenberg's The Startup Ideas Podcast​

Greg interviews founders and explores micro-SaaS ideas, community-led businesses, and unconventional startup plays.

→ Why I love it: Greg gives you a little bit of everything. He'll go deep on how his team is using Gemini, Nano Banana, or n8n or some tool I've never heard of.

💰 Sam Parr & Shaan Puri's My First Million​

Sam entrepreneurs dissecting business ideas, sharing frameworks, and talking about wealth-building.

→ Why I love it: They interview entrepreneurs from completely different worlds and I steal ideas constantly. What works in one industry usually works in another. You just have to connect the dots.

📊 Kipp Bodnar & Kieran Flanagan's Marketing Against the Grain​

HubSpot's CMO and SVP of Marketing break down what's working in B2B marketing right now — AI, attribution, demand gen, and all the stuff keeping marketers up at night.

→ Why I love it: When Google or OpenAI drops something new, these guys are already testing and sharing how they’re using it at Hubspot.

🎬 Riley Brown's YouTube Channel​

Riley breaks down vibe coding, AI tools, automation, and AI agents — basically the five categories of GTM tech that are changing how we work. He makes advanced stuff feel accessible and shows you how to actually use it.

→ Why I love it: Riley takes tools that seem complicated and makes them simple enough that I can actually build something in an afternoon. His whole thing is "make it accessible so anyone can create and launch" — and that's exactly what I need as a solo marketer trying to move fast.

🤖 Nate Herk's AI Automation YouTube Channel​

Nate is probably less well known than all of the above creators but he gets super tactical with the videos he creates about building AI automations and workflows.

→ Why I love it: I'm the only full-time marketer at Compound, so automation isn't optional for me. Nate shows you step-by-step tutorials that I can follow along with and build exactly what he’s building, then iterate on it to apply it to my business.

The Common Thread

They're all operators first. Building real businesses, running real teams, sharing what works.

That's what Shaalin and I are trying to do with the AgentGTM Newsletter — less theory, more "here's what we did this week and here's what happened."

Anyway, if you've got creators I should be listening to, hit reply. Always looking to add to the rotation.

Talk soon,

Rob Stella, CFP®
Co-Founder, IndustryGTM
Head of Marketing, Compound Planning

P.S. — If you're a founder or marketer in a regulated industry like financial services and want to talk shop, let's chat.
