E60: The Claude Code Era: Mastering Autonomous GTM Agents (Jordan Crawford, Founder @ Blueprint)

Jordan Crawford (Founder @ Blueprint GTM) returns with a reality check for GTM leaders: The ChatGPT era is over. We're entering the season of Claude Code. That means you can move past static prompts and brittle workflows. We are now in a world where autonomous agents write code, execute complex goals, and learn recursively. Jordan breaks down how to set up local environments where context compounds over time, allowing you to deploy "infinite interns" against your most manual processes.   A few of the topics we cover: The 3 Eras of GTM AI: Why we've graduated from ChatGPT (text) and Clay (linear workflows) to Claude Code (autonomous engineering). Adapt or Die: Jordan shares some benchmarks of the absurd growth that's possible in specific areas Atomic Leverage: How to identify the tasks in your sales org that agents can execute at scale.
