    Apr 28 2026

    Most B2B companies think they have a lead problem. Joshua Schwartz says they have a relevance problem. This episode covers what real B2B personalization looks like in 2026, where most teams get it wrong, and the signal mapping approach that pushed his webinar attendance to 47% when the benchmark sits at 35%.

  • Your Biggest Competitor Is Now the Customer's AI Agent
    Apr 14 2026

    Gabriel spent $50K across two conferences. Thirty meetings booked. Two showed up. That mistake turned into a framework. This episode covers how a software engineer who switched to GTM rebuilt his entire go-to-market approach around one reality: for developer tool companies, the customer's biggest competitor has always been the customer themselves. Now, with AI coding agents, that's true for every category.

  • From SEO to AEO: How to Optimize Websites for AI Answers
    Feb 10 2026

    Organic traffic is falling, but website conversions are soaring. This is the new reality of B2B marketing, and most teams are getting it wrong. In this episode, François Bohyn, CRO of Prismic, reveals why the “death of the website” is a myth and how to re-architect yours to dominate in the age of AI.

    ►► Stop guessing and start converting. Let’s build your new website strategy: https://foursets.com/

    We’re not talking hypotheticals. François unpacks the data showing why your highest-converting leads will now come directly from AI search. He explains how to build your site for two masters (your customers and the crawlers), why you must un-gate your best content to win with AI, and how to stop chasing keywords and start owning entire “semantic spaces.”

    This episode is a masterclass in modern website strategy. You’ll learn why your slow website is effectively invisible to AI, how to finally align your marketing and dev teams, and why “pipeline generated” is the only website metric your CEO will care about from now on. Stop optimizing for yesterday’s internet. This is your guide to winning today.


    ABOUT OUR GUEST:

    François Bohyn is the CRO of Prismic, a headless CMS for modern B2B teams focused on speed, flexibility, and performance. His work sits at the intersection of AEO, ABM, and building the website as a core piece of marketing infrastructure.
