Closing Conversations

Episode 4: Sales, Scale, and the Red Wedding: Leading Without Losing the Plot

Season 1 Episode 4

In this episode of Closing Conversations, Max Notis is joined by Josh Epstein, who has scaled revenue to over $200M across roles at VMware, HashiCorp, and now as CRO at Coder — but what makes him stand out isn’t just the numbers. It’s how he leads. Josh deepdives on what great revenue leadership really looks like: from gut-check accountability tools (“If I get defensive, they’re probably right”), to hiring with integrity, to creating a culture where sellers feel safe to speak up and motivated to win. They cover the red weddings, the rebuilds, and the reality of running a GTM org that doesn’t implode under pressure.

If you lead sales, want to lead sales, or are hiring someone who does — this one’s for you.
