Solve & Scale with Marcio Arnecke - North Star Leaders

What this episode covers

Some leaders thrive on stability. Others thrive on chaos. So what does it actually take to lead marketing inside a company that’s scaling fast, solving new problems daily, and trying to democratize access to tools that were once reserved for big enterprises? In this episode, Apollo CMO Marcio Arnecke joins Lindsay to talk about resilience, moving fast without burning out your team, and why “progress over perfection” is more than just a catchy phrase when you're building in hyper-growth mode. You’ll hear them discuss: Why solving internal problems quickly can be one of the most energizing parts of leading in a hyper-growth startup How Marcio’s Brazilian upbringing and international leadership experience shape the way he builds and manages global teams The leadership mindset behind “progress over perfection” and why speed often matters more than flawless execution in fast-scaling companies How risk looks different in startups versus large public companies and why moving slowly can sometimes be the biggest risk of all Why strong marketing shifts from feature-focused messaging to value-driven storytelling as companies scale What happens when product strategy, buyer reality, and go-to-market plans fall out of alignment, and how to recognize the disconnect early How curiosity, experimentation, and hands-on leadership help marketers stay ahead as AI reshapes the future of the industry Resources: Marcio Arnecke on Apollo | LinkedIn Lindsay Pedersen - Contact me to tell me who you'd like to hear as a guest! | Connect with me on LinkedIn

What sparks leaders to pursue business transformation? How do they overcome the challenges along the way? What are the keys to creating enduring change? Through in-depth conversations with business and technology leaders, Mike and Marc answer these questions and explore how businesses evolve by pulling four key transformation levers: people, process, technology, and culture. The A91 Football Podcast dbellew Covering the north east football league & local junior football in the Louth/Meath area NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
