So ya know how I’m exploring the role that customers play in helping companies build to their next level of growth? My goal is to invite on more superstar customer marketers and this episode is no exception.

people don’t stop to consider how important their customers are
we always seem to be chasing net new
trust is peer-led and most growth (still) comes from referrals, word of mouth, and bottom-up adoption
your customers are your moat because they are unique to you
you're probably doing some of this, it's just not officially in your business strategy (it should be)
