There’s a certain kind of clarity that comes from being in the thick of it, where theory meets the messy reality of building something. In the Pit with Cody Schneider is built on that premise.

What does it take to move from scrappy tactics to building a marketing team that can sustain momentum? This podcast digs into the specific strategies and operational choices that make a difference when the pressure is on. It’s for anyone who prefers gritty, firsthand accounts over polished success stories. Tune in for a regular dose of actionable insight from inside the trenches of startups and growth marketing.
