About this episode

Karl Newlin discusses B2B growth strategies, the importance of distribution, and lessons from his extensive ad spend experience.

A conversation with Karl Newlin, a B2B growth leader who’s spent over $100M in ad spend across companies like Stripe, Gusto, and Carta. We dig into why most teams confuse reach with actually being known, what it really takes to make distribution work, and where pipeline actually breaks down. Karl shares hard-earned lessons from paid media, a sharper way to think about GTM through “surfaces,” and how early-stage companies can build marketing that sticks.
