I feel pretty good about this decision. I think I'm going to look like a hero, not like a fool. If anything, we're going to overperform here.” - Matt DixonConnect with Matt Dixon:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewxdixon/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/matthewxdixon DCM Insights Website: https://www.dcminsights.com/ Personal Website: https://www.dixonspeaks.com/ Jolt Effect: https://a.co/d/a9pBiJQ Challenger Sale: https://a.co/d/8yaFZYq Follow the Show:Judd’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/juddborakove/ Craig’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/craigrosenberg/ Matt’s Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-amundson-91657236/ GTM Unfiltered LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/gtm-unfiltered/GTM Unfiltered Website: https://www.gtmunfiltered.com/Ways to tune in:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6n6ElND3FF2wjf11gWGjFnApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gtm-unfiltered/id1708470602Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/gtm-unfiltered-5480709YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcjySadNUx9DS6RsHJaEWjgTransistor: https://www.gtmunfiltered.com/episodes/welcome-to-gtm-unfilteredAmazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/a4ac6781-0f62-40c7-bef3-40e37c1e824f/gtm-unfilteredGTM Unfiltered is sponsored and produced by Ringmaster, on a mission to create connections through Branded podcasts.
