Brent Keltner, Authentic Buyer Journeys and the "Guide by the Side" - Innovabuzz 702

Our guest in this episode is Brent Keltner, Founder and President of Winalytics, a go-to-market consultancy helping B2B revenue teams build authentic buyer journeys. Brent, a former qualitative researcher and revenue leader, brings a unique “low ego learner” mindset to the world of sales and marketing. We explore the shift from being a “sage on the stage” to a “guide by the side,” the importance of the buying committee over the individual persona, and how to use AI as a teammate to compress days of research into minutes of hyper-personalized outreach without losing the human touch.Key points discussed include:* The “Rugby Metaphor” for go-to-market teams: success comes from team orchestration and multi-phase play, not individual heroics.* Narrow your focus to broaden your appeal: why specificity in your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) actually deepens market connection.* AI as a “BBB+” teammate: using agents for orchestration and research while keeping a human in the loop to elevate the final output to an “A.”<a target="_blank" href="https://innovabiz.co/702">Listen to the podcast to find out more</a>.Show Notes from this episode with Brent Keltner, WinalyticsIt was a real pleasure to host Brent Keltner on the Innova.buzz podcast. Brent is someone who clearly doesn’t do things by halves; his kids even say he’s “allergic to half-assed.” That intensity, combined with his background as a qualitative researcher, makes him the perfect guide for navigating the complex world of B2B sales. We sat down to unpack how to move away from “bludgeoning” buyers and instead focus on building buying readiness through authentic, journey-first conversations.Brent kicked things off with a brilliant metaphor from his favorite sport: rugby. Unlike many American sports, rugby is about the flow of the whole team moving in unison through multiple phases. He sees a great go-to-market team the same way: Sales Development Representatives (SDR), sales, marketing, and customer success all working from the same buyer-centric playbook. It’s not about the individual function; it’s about the journey. When that alignment happens, you can feel the “flow” where everyone is focused on helping the buyer win quicker.The Buying Committee: Moving Beyond the Single PersonaWe had a great exchange about the limitations of traditional buyer persona documents. Brent pointed out that while personas matter, accounts buy, individuals do not. In a typical B2B deal, there are six to ten people involved. If your marketing is only speaking to one person, you’re leaving your champion high and dry. We discussed the need for “actionable” enablement documents; a simple front-and-back sheet that an SDR can actually use to connect with an economic buyer or a technical lead, rather than a 50-page slide deck that sits in a drawer.The rest of these show notes continue for paid subscribers, where we unpack the deeper ideas Brent surfaces beneath the surface of his revenue model: how the “rugby metaphor” transforms a fragmented sales team into a single, fluid organism, what it actually takes to arm an SDR with actionable intelligence rather than a static persona document, and why “closing the deal” is rarely the seller’s job to be done. We also dig further into the AI orchestration math, the intent data gap in the modern buyer journey, and what it takes to use AI as a “BBB+” teammate without losing the human heart of the message.If you’re drawn to practical conversations about AI that stay grounded in real-world outcomes, plus the human psychology behind the “low ego learner” and the “guide by the side,” I’d love you to join the inner circle. It’s where we explore the unpolished insights that rarely make it into the public version, the moments that sharpen judgment and keep us honest about what AI can, and cannot, do for our relationships.Maybe they’ll keep your curiosity alive too.Narrow Your Focus to Broaden Your AppealI’ve always found it a bit of a paradox that being more specific helps you reach more people, and Brent nailed it with his phrase: “Narrow your focus to broaden your appeal.” We talked about the fear many entrepreneurs have of “locking out” potential customers by being too niche. Brent’s advice is grounded: focus your proactive targeting and social proof where you have critical mass. If someone outside that niche finds you, you can still choose to work with them, but your message will land much harder when it speaks directly to a specific industry’s problems and uses their language.The “Guide by the Side” vs. The “Sage on the Stage”One of the most profound shifts we discussed was the change in the seller’s role. Brent shared a teaching analogy: the old model was the “sage on the stage” lecturing, while the new model is the “guide by the side.” In a world where 70-80% of the buyer journey is digital and self-educated, sellers don’t close deals; buyers do. Our job is to be the guide, asking the right questions and providing the right content at the right time to help them make an informed decision, even if that decision is that we aren’t the right fit.AI as the Ultimate OrchestratorNaturally, we dove into the “magical Playground” of AI. Brent sees AI not just as a tool for writing emails, but as a teammate for orchestration. We talked about using AI agents to research target accounts, connect value propositions to specific news feeds, and pull in intent data from CRM systems. The goal isn’t to replace the human, but to compress the “BBB+” work; the research and drafting; so a talented human can spend their time on the “A” work of refining the message and building the relationship. It’s about using AI to “roadmap” the conversation and ensure we aren’t sending “garbage” inputs.The Low Ego LearnerFinally, Brent shared a personal story about his journey to a black belt in karate. As a former rugby player and wrestler, he initially struggled with the finesse and rhythm of karate. He succeeded by becoming an “equal opportunity learner,” checking his ego at the dojo door and learning from everyone, including his children and the women in his class. This “low ego learner” mindset is perhaps the most important skill for any professional today: the ability to look for learning opportunities in every environment, unencumbered by hierarchy or status.In Summary:Brent Keltner reminds us that in a world of high-tech tools, the most effective strategy is still human-centered: put the buyer first. By narrowing our focus, acting as a guide rather than a lecturer, and leveraging AI to enhance our research rather than replace our heart, we can build buyer journeys that are not only efficient but genuinely authentic.The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are Brent’s answers to the questions of our innovation round. Listen to the conversation to get the full scoop.* Most innovative use of AI to enhance human relationships: Using the interactive process of “teaching” AI to understand your perspective. This “dance” of back-and-forth communication forces us to be clearer and less assuming, which is a skill that translates directly to better human communication.* Best thing to integrate AI and human connection: Using AI for clarity and brevity in important emails. It helps sharpen the language so the point gets across in the way that is easiest for the recipient to consume.* Differentiate by leveraging AI: Develop the skill of “recapping and roadmapping.” Just as you frame a conversation for AI with clear inputs and desired outputs, doing the same for human meetings builds trust and ensures everyone is aligned on the journey.ActionIt is not about you; it is about your buyer. Start living that mindset in every interaction by letting the buyer talk about themselves and their needs first.Reach OutYou can reach out and thank Brent via LinkedIn or email him directly at <a target="_blank" href="mailto:bkeltner@winalytics.com">bkeltner@winalytics.com</a>.Links:* <a target="_blank" href="https://winalytics.com/">Website</a> - Winalytics* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bkeltner/">LinkedIn</a> - Brent Keltner* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKLAaFQn_66xsa5jD8FMR9Q/about">YouTube</a> - WinalyticsCool Things About Brent* Brent is a rare and fascinating combination — a Stanford-trained PhD social scientist, a karate black belt, a church business fellowship leader, and someone with a very specific and intriguing winter morning ritual that’s worth asking him about.* Discipline is a defining thread in Brent’s life. Earning a black belt in karate requires years of patient, humbling, repetitive practice — and that same quality shows up in everything he builds professionally.* Brent never really left the research lab. He crossed from academia into the commercial world, but brought the researcher’s instinct with him — still citing peer-reviewed journals, still framing problems as hypotheses, still asking what the data actually shows.* Brent has one of the more sophisticated takes on AI you’ll encounter — not as an evangelist or a sceptic, but as a social scientist asking the better question: where does human judgment add the most value, and where can machines free us to do more of what only humans can do?

Anya Cheng, High-Tech Logic and the Art of Personal Expression - Innova.buzz 701

Our guest in this episode is Anya Cheng, Founder and CEO of Taelor, a pioneering menswear subscription service that leverages artificial intelligence to help high-impact individuals move toward their goals with confidence. Before building her own zero-to-one startup, Anya led digital innovation and e-commerce for global giants like Meta, eBay, and Target. She is also an adjunct lecturer at Northwestern University, bringing the logic of data together with the art of personal expression. We explore the intersection of high-level technology and human confidence, the startling environmental impact of unsold fashion inventory, and how AI can act as a sophisticated co-pilot for human stylists to ensure busy professionals always look the part.Key points discussed include:* The “circular” business model of Taelor helps reduce the 30 billion dollars of fashion inventory that goes from factory to landfill annually.* AI serves as a co-pilot for human stylists, managing vast data points on fit, occasion, and quality that are impossible for a human to track alone.* Dressing for the role you want is a psychological tool to combat imposter syndrome and build immediate credibility.<a target="_blank" href="https://innovabiz.co/701">Listen to the podcast to find out more</a>.Show Notes from this episode with Anya Cheng, TaelorIt was a real privilege to welcome Anya Cheng to the Innova.buzz podcast. Anya joins us from the San Francisco Bay Area with a background that reads like a roadmap of Silicon Valley success, yet her focus remains firmly on the human element of confidence. Our conversation delved into how she transitioned from managing massive corporate systems at Meta and eBay to creating a personalized AI service that removes the friction of “looking the part” for busy professionals.Anya shared a startling statistic that set the stage for our talk: in the US alone, 30 billion dollars of menswear goes directly from factories to landfills every year. This unsold inventory creates a massive environmental footprint, contributing to 10% of global emissions and 20% of polluted water. Taelor addresses this by creating a rental and subscription model that acts as an outlet for brands and a sustainable choice for consumers. It is a clever intersection of commerce and conservation that allows high-quality garments to live multiple lives rather than ending up as waste.The rest of these show notes continue for paid subscribers, where we unpack the deeper ideas Anya surfaces beneath the surface of her business model: how Taelor’s AI and human stylists operate as a co-pilot loop, what the rental data reveals about true garment quality over time, and why “looking good” is rarely the real job to be done. We also dig further into the sustainability math, the feedback gap in the fashion supply chain, and what it takes to use AI without drifting into confident, wrong answers.If you’re drawn to practical conversations about AI that stay grounded in real-world outcomes, plus the human psychology behind confidence and credibility, I’d love you to join the inner circle. It’s where we explore the unpolished insights that rarely make it into the public version, the moments that sharpen judgment and keep us honest about what AI can, and cannot, do for us.Maybe they’ll keep your curiosity alive too.The Psychology of the “Lucky Shirt” and Professional CredibilityWe discussed the concept of “enclothed cognition”—the idea that what we wear directly impacts how we feel and perform. Anya spoke candidly about her own experience as an immigrant from Taiwan and a female leader in tech, where she used clothing as a tool to navigate imposter syndrome. Whether it is a lawyer fighting for a case or a sales professional heading to a conference, the right outfit serves as a conversation opener and a source of internal strength. Anya’s vision is to help people be successful without the mental load of worrying about their appearance, allowing them to focus entirely on their mission.AI as the Ultimate Stylist’s Co-pilotOne of the most fascinating parts of Taelor’s model is the relationship between the AI and the human stylists. Anya describes it as a flywheel: the human stylists train the AI, and the AI acts as a “guardrail” for the stylists, remembering every specific customer preference, from sleeve length to a dislike of the color green. With 150 brands and 30,000 garments in their system, it would be impossible for a human to curate the perfect selection for every scenario—like a job interview or a TED talk—without the data-crunching power of AI. This partnership ensures that the human element remains in control while the technology handles the complexity.Closing the Feedback Loop in FashionAnya highlighted a major flaw in the traditional fashion supply chain: the lack of feedback. Designers often have no idea why a garment didn’t sell—was the sleeve an inch too long, or the shoulder too tight? Because Taelor is a rental service, they collect real-world data on how clothes perform after multiple washes and wears. This data goes back to the brands, helping them stop producing “junk” and start creating garments with true longevity. It turns the act of getting dressed into a data-driven cycle that benefits the creator, the consumer, and the planet.The Future of Retail: Try Before You BuyThe Taelor model mirrors the shift we have seen in other industries, like leasing cars or streaming movies on Netflix. It allows men to step out of their comfort zones and try emerging brands from Italy, Australia, or Canada without the commitment of a full purchase. By lowering the barrier to discovery, Anya is helping smaller, sustainable brands find their audience while giving her customers a “test drive” of the latest styles. It is a move away from the “marketing monster” of big brand names and toward a focus on quality, fit, and the actual job the clothing needs to do for the wearer.In Summary:Anya Cheng is proving that technology does not have to be cold or impersonal. By using AI to handle the logistics of fashion, she is freeing up human energy for more important pursuits. Her work with Taelor is a masterclass in using data to enhance human humanity, proving that when we look our best, we are often at our most confident and capable.The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are Anya’s answers to the questions of our innovation round. Listen to the conversation to get the full scoop.* Most innovative use of AI to enhance human relationships: Using AI as a supporting tool for therapists and psychologists. It provides 24/7 support for patients when the human professional is unavailable, acting as a “best friend” gatekeeper while the expert remains in ultimate control.* Best thing to integrate AI and human connection: Using AI to solve labor-intensive or environmental problems, such as AI-driven lobster capturing or strawberry picking. These tools handle the “labor work” and productivity, allowing humans to focus on higher-level strategy and connection.* Differentiate by leveraging AI: Focus on strategic thinking and the “why” behind the problem. Avoid chasing “shiny new objects” and ensure the AI is solving a real pain point for the customer, like Taelor does by helping people feel ready for their day.ActionGo out, participate in communities, and talk to more people. Cultivate curiosity by asking “why” and exploring subjects that fascinate you, even if they don’t have an immediate utility.Reach OutYou can reach out and thank Anya via her <a target="_blank" href="https://taelor.style/">website</a> or connect with her on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/anyacheng/">LinkedIn</a>.

She genuinely worried they were hiring her as a plumber, but her “toward” motivation was so strong she said “yes” first and Googled the definition later.* The Investigative Networking Method: Carrying her journalist’s heart into Silicon Valley, Anya didn’t just apply for jobs during the recession; she cold-called professors and turned a laid-off recruiter into a mentor. She treats every connection like a front-page story waiting to be discovered.* The Australian Serendipity: Just days before our first call, Anya’s world expanded toward Australia when a new investor, backed by the largest Australian family office, introduced her to nearly a hundred of our compatriots in a single week.* Professor by Night: Despite the “zero-to-one” intensity of Taelor AI, Anya maintains a systematic commitment to the future as an Adjunct Lecturer at Northwestern University, bridging the gap between high-level theory and startup reality.

Robert Lee Camp, Cards of Destiny, Astrology, and AI as an Assistant, Not an Oracle, Innova.buzz 700

Our guest in this episode is Robert Lee Camp, master of the Cards of Destiny system, software developer, and long time student of astrology. Robert has spent 35 years helping people explore what he describes as a mathematical blueprint reflected in a standard deck of playing cards, and how it connects with astrological influences. We talk about where meaning in the card deck comes from, why “newspaper horoscopes” fail, how he blends card work with astrology for more practical and psychological insight, and where AI fits, both as a coding assistant and as a possible future interface for his style of readings.Key points discussed include:* The playing card deck as a mathematical structure, including claimed correspondences like 52 weeks and 365 total pip values.* The Cards of Destiny concept that month and day of birth map to a “life card”, with multiple birthdays sharing the same card, and why that does not mean identical lives.* A clear critique of generic horoscope columns, they are too broad to be meaningful, and often function as entertainment rather than disciplined interpretation.* AI as a useful helper for code and research, plus a sober warning about errors and confident wrong answers, and why human judgment stays central.<a target="_blank" href="https://innovabiz.co/700">Listen to the podcast to find out more</a>.Show Notes from this episode with Robert Lee Camp, Cards of Your DestinyThis conversation with Robert Lee Camp goes to a place we do not visit every week on Innova.buzz, the intersection of esoteric systems, pattern interpretation, and modern tools. Robert is candid about his own pathway, he started with astrology, then encountered an old book, Sacred Symbols of the Ancients (1940s), that connected playing cards with symbolic meaning. That discovery, and the accuracy he felt it had for him, pushed him into decades of study and teaching.He frames the “regular” 52 card deck as more than a game tool, a structure with mathematical features that appear to mirror calendar cycles. From there, he introduces the core idea many listeners will want to test immediately: your month and day of birth maps to a specific card, and there are multiple birthdays that can share the same card. He is careful, though. Same card does not mean same life, or the same outcomes. He describes each card as having a range, a higher and lower expression, plus many variations in between.The deck, the symbols, and what gets lost over timeA strong thread early in our exchange is simple curiosity about origins. Where did this standard deck come from, and why did it settle into this configuration of suits, courts, and numbers. Robert’s view is that much of the original symbolic meaning has been lost, even to modern manufacturers. He offers one concrete example most people recognise visually: the Ace of Spades often being larger and more ornate than the other aces. Manufacturers may say “that’s just how it’s always done,” while Robert argues there is a symbolic reason inside the tradition.We also touch on the fact that not all cultures use the same deck format. That matters, because Robert’s system is tied specifically to the 52 card structure and its internal relationships. Variations, even familiar ones used in certain European games, do not preserve the same correspondences.The rest of these show notes continue for paid subscribers, where we unpack the deeper ideas Robert surfaces beneath the surface of his stories: why the tabloid version of astrology fails, how he blends cards with planetary spreads for psychological insight, and what it really looks like to use AI as a high-speed assistant without losing your human judgment.If you’re drawn to thoughtful conversations about patterns, systems, and the parts of our journey we can’t fully automate, I’d love you to join the inner circle. It’s where we explore the unpolished insights that rarely make it into polished episodes, the moments that sharpen our curiosity and keep us honest as creators.Maybe they’ll keep your curiosity alive too.Blending cards with astrology, and why the tabloid version does not workRobert has an interesting position. He is blunt about generic horoscope columns, in his view, they cannot be valid because they apply to far too many people across a broad birth window. He calls that content made up, and he is not shy about it.At the same time, he speaks from the perspective of someone who has done many readings and has deep respect for more rigorous traditions, including Vedic and Chinese astrology. He describes these as detailed and practical in a way that surprises people who only know the “I’m a monkey” or “you’ll meet a stranger today” versions.Where Robert places his own emphasis is more psychological. Instead of trying to play carnival fortune teller, he aims to help people understand inner patterns, issues under the surface, and the kinds of tensions that can be worked with, so life becomes less reactive and more intentional.The spreads and planetary influences, a glimpse of the internal logicRobert shares an image of what he calls the life spread and spiritual spread, with cards laid out in perfect order, and with rows and columns associated with planets. His claim is that particular placements within that grid correspond to strong planetary themes, and he gives an example of a card associated with Uranus and Aquarian influence.Even if you remain skeptical, the noteworthy part is that Robert is not presenting this as vague intuition. He is presenting it as a structured interpretive system, with internal rules, correspondences, and repeatable placements. That is a very different thing from random guessing dressed up as mysticism.AI, a helper that sometimes lies with confidenceThe AI segment is one of the most practically useful parts of the episode, because it strips away hype.Robert says there are already AI based astrology reading sites, and he expects it is only a matter of time until someone applies the same approach to his card system. His intention is to build that himself, training an AI to deliver readings in his style, so people can interact conversationally and ask questions about near term concerns.He is not naive about current limitations. He questions whether AI “thinks” in a meaningful way, because he has seen it fail at straightforward tasks and persist in wrong answers. He also offers the counterpoint from software work, where AI can be a serious productivity multiplier. His lead programmer, he says, is getting the work output of several people by using AI well, because he knows how to ask, how to verify, and how to integrate results.That is the line worth underlining: AI helps most when the human using it already has competence, context, and a habit of checking.In Summary:Robert Lee Camp invites listeners into a structured system that he believes reflects life patterns through the mathematics and symbolism of the playing card deck, and he links it to astrological influences in a way he claims is consistent and predictive. Alongside that, he offers an unusually grounded take on AI, powerful as an assistant for research and code, unreliable as an authority, and best used with human judgment firmly in charge.The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are Robert’s answers to the questions of our innovation round. Listen to the conversation to get the full scoop.* Most innovative use of AI to enhance human relationships: He has not seen a direct relationship use case, although he notes that increased productivity can reduce stress and indirectly improve relationships.* Best thing to integrate AI and human connection: Using AI to review and streamline his code, improving efficiency and performance in a software project.* Number one skill to develop in the age of AI: Treat AI as a helper that accelerates creative and practical work, and learn how to direct it effectively, especially when you already understand the domain.ActionGo to Robert’s website, enter your birthday, and try the free reading to discover your card and explore what it suggests about you.Reach OutYou can find Robert Lee Camp and explore the Cards of Destiny system at <a target="_blank" href="https://cardsofyourdestiny.com/">cardsofyourdestiny.com</a>.Links:* <a target="_blank" href="https://cardsofyourdestiny.com/">Website</a> - Cards of Your Destiny* <a target="_blank" href="https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/robert-lee-camp/">Podcast</a> - The Mr Destiny Radio Show with Robert Lee Camp* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjClo0xTWXNyqC3mqD7D2KA">YouTube</a> - Robert Lee Camp* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/7thundersinc">Facebook</a> - The Cards of Your DestinyCool Things About Robert* A Salty Realist in a Mystical World: Despite working with ancient cards and astrology, Robert has zero patience for “fluff.” His willingness to call out mainstream horoscopes as “bs” shows a refreshing, no-nonsense authenticity that is rare in the spiritual coaching space.* The Sci-Fi Visionary: His deep love for Star Trek isn’t just a hobby; it’s a framework for how he views human potential. He doesn’t just look at the past through ancient cards; he looks at the future through the lens of optimistic futurism.* The “Business Mechanic”: It is fascinating that he treats interpersonal dynamics like a machine that can be tuned. He doesn’t just give “readings”; he analyzes “staff pairings” and “interpersonal gears,” bringing a developer’s logic to human relationships.* The AI Adventurer: At an age where many might shy away from new tech, Robert is leaning into the “magical playground” of AI. He is actively experimenting with how to bridge a 35-year-old mastery with the cutting edge of large language models, showing that curiosity has no expiration date. This is a public episode.

The InnovaBuzz Podcast explores the minds of innovators, entrepreneurs, and creatives, diving deep into their values, strategies, and mindset.

As we navigate the fascinating intersection of AI innovation and the enduring power of human connection, this podcast is increasingly drawn to conversations that explore novel applications of AI and, crucially, how we can keep our relationships and interactions deeply human in an increasingly digital world.

Join internationally recognised transformational strategist and Visionary Human-Centred Podcasting Coach, Dr Jürgen Strauss, as he connects with awesome guests who are eager to share their stories, spark new ideas, and contribute to our knowledge of innovation, service, and modern marketing.

Each episode is a conversation designed to spark curiosity. Gain insight into what makes inspiring people ‘tick’, what ‘lights them up’, and why they do what they do. The InnovaBuzz Podcast is for smart businesses and curious minds that want to stay on top of innovation to compete and thrive in today's marketplace.

For a flavour of the themes we love to explore—context, creativity, and the art of nurturing human relationships in an AI-powered world—here are a few of my recent Substack articles:
