What to Search For

Leadership identification:

  • C-suite executives (CEO, CTO, CFO, CPO, etc.)
  • VPs and Heads of key departments
  • Founders (if still active)

Podcast/interview content:

  • Recent appearances (last 12 months preferred)
  • Topics discussed: strategy, product roadmap, market positioning
  • Challenges mentioned
  • Future plans and investments

Search Strategy

  1. Search Google for the company to find their domain
  2. Use Apollo Search People with the domain to find executives (filter by titles like CEO, CTO, VP, Head of)
  3. For each key executive, search Google for "[Name] podcast" or "[Name] interview YouTube"
  4. Use the YouTube video URL to get the transcript
  5. Extract strategic priorities and themes from the transcripts

What Counts as a Valid Result

  • Focus on recent content (within last 12-18 months)
  • Prioritize CEO/founder appearances — they speak most strategically
  • Include direct quotes with timestamps if possible
