The Dave Gerhardt Show

This week, Dave and Amrita Mathur catch up since their last podcast, and since Amrita started her new VP of Marketing job at ClickUp.

There are some great nuggets in here for how to start out as a VP of Marketing in a new role.

They also cover topics like: 
  • Personal LinkedIn strategy 
  • How proactivity is one of the keys to being successful 
  • Optimizing for learning in your career, and staying in roles for a long time vs not
  • Figuring out product market fit
