Can AI make us more human in how we go to market?

In this episode, Jarod Greene sits down with Lucas Welch, VP of Corporate Marketing at Highspot, for a conversation about authenticity, AI, and the power of personal connection in modern marketing.

He walks through how his team uses tools like intent data and Mentimeter to shape events that feel personal, not prescriptive.
