Grow & Tell is a business podcast hosted by Alex Kracov, CEO and co-founder of Dock and former VP of Marketing at Lattice, who talks with revenue leaders about how they built and scaled their companies. The conversations center on sales and revenue enablement, including proving enablement's impact on win rates and ramp time rather than training completion, earning a strategic seat alongside sales leadership, and how enablement teams are actually using AI. Guests have led enablement at companies such as Gong, Rippling, Vanta, Everlaw, and Demandbase. Special behind-the-scenes episodes follow Alex and the Dock team as they share what is and isn't working while growing their own company. The show is produced by Dock, an AI revenue enablement platform.
