Episode 4: Sales, Scale, and the Red Wedding: Leading Without Losing the Plot (with Josh Epstein)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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.
