Meet Woodson Martin, Executive Vice President and General Manager of AppExchange for Salesforce.
0:00
(upbeat music)
0:02
- Welcome to Inside the Ojana.
0:07
I'm Dan Darcy, Chief Customer Officer at Qualified.
0:10
And today I'm joined by my friend, Woodson Martin.
0:13
Woodson, how are you?
0:15
- I'm doing great, Dan.
0:16
- And where are you filming from today?
0:20
- Today I'm in our San Francisco office.
0:24
We call the Salesforce Tower.
0:26
- Awesome.
0:27
So I wanna dive right into our first segment, Ojana Origins.
0:32
So going back to 2005, tell me how you discovered Salesforce.
0:36
- Yeah, we have to go back even further.
0:39
I was a customer at a company called Business Objects,
0:43
a software company, later required by SAP,
0:46
but I was running worldwide field operations
0:50
for business objects and brought Salesforce in
0:54
as a CRM to replace what was not working
0:59
as we were trying to run an old van Tiv CRM system
1:03
on premise at Business Objects
1:06
to run our Asia Pacific business.
1:08
And as we were growing, especially in Japan,
1:12
we needed very different technology.
1:15
The big driver for us was like,
1:17
we needed something that would actually recognize
1:19
the double byte characters to spell out the names
1:22
of the customers.
1:24
And so we had our old archaic van Tiv system
1:28
would work, we had to shop for something new.
1:29
That's how I found Salesforce in the first place.
1:32
- So in 2002, what was your experience with Salesforce
1:36
at that time?
1:37
Just obviously it was Salesforce automation back then.
1:40
How was it as a customer?
1:43
- Yeah, well, it was interesting
1:45
because we were running Salesforce in Asia Pacific
1:48
and we were running this van Tiv
1:51
archaic van Tiv system everywhere else.
1:53
And we had a quarterly business review at one point.
1:58
I think it was actually a Q1 review
2:01
and we were looking back on the prior year
2:03
and we had our GM of the Asia Pacific business standup
2:08
and he'd had a record performance.
2:11
And his,
2:12
and at one point Bernard Liatto, who is the CEO,
2:17
turned to him and asked him and said, how'd you do it?
2:20
And he's like, well, it was all because of Salesforce.
2:23
And so as the guy who had put Salesforce in, right?
2:27
Like it was, I had signed the checks
2:29
and brought Salesforce support.
2:32
It was like the most validating moment of my career.
2:36
And it was really, I told that story actually,
2:40
I think at the very first dream force, Mark hosted
2:45
the very first executive, some day,
2:47
it was a dinner at the top of one of the hotels
2:49
in San Francisco.
2:51
And Mark made me get up and tell the story
2:55
to every other customer in the room.
2:57
That was my first.
3:00
- Of course he does.
3:01
And I mean, so you were basically quintessentially,
3:05
you know, one of the early trailblazers, if you will,
3:09
obviously the current nomenclature,
3:11
but you were a customer hero back then.
3:13
So that's awesome.
3:15
So tell me how then did you take that
3:18
and actually come to Salesforce as an employee?
3:22
- Well, that same dinner I was telling you about,
3:27
I was actually sitting with Mark and Ray Lane
3:30
was there too for the real veterans of our industry.
3:34
Remember Ray's from his role as COO of Oracle.
3:37
And we had this great conversation over dinner
3:40
about the future of the software business.
3:44
And after dinner that night, I sent Mark and he,
3:48
thank you email.
3:49
And I said, by the way, you know, that was super motivating.
3:53
I think I should probably work for Salesforce.
3:55
And he replied back within like three minutes.
3:57
It was like, can you start tomorrow?
3:59
- What was your initial impression overall
4:01
internally at Salesforce?
4:03
- You know, I remember a time in my career
4:06
where I thought all the smart people worked at headquarters
4:09
and all the people out, you know, running around
4:11
in the field where just couldn't understand
4:14
really what we were doing.
4:17
And I got to Salesforce and everywhere I turned,
4:20
the people were really smart.
4:22
You know, I, and it's so motivating, you know,
4:26
to work with really smart people.
4:28
And of course Salesforce had a passion then still does
4:33
around customer success.
4:35
And it was just the first thing I recognized
4:38
is what a much more customer centric organization
4:43
Salesforce was.
4:44
You know, whether it is, you know, you get in the elevator
4:47
back then in the landmark building, you know,
4:50
with at any point in time, and you know,
4:52
here comes Mark and his dog, Coa.
4:55
And you know, the very first question he's going to ask you
4:58
is like, what customer did you talk to today?
5:01
And you know, what are you, and tell me about
5:02
the customers you're working with
5:03
and do everything that's always about the customers.
5:06
- So what's in, look, I know you've had a long,
5:10
incredible career at Salesforce.
5:12
So this may be somewhat of a tougher question,
5:15
but I want you to brag a little because
5:18
of just the incredible success
5:20
and the different roles you've taken on at Salesforce.
5:22
What would you say is the biggest success you've had,
5:26
or one of your most proud moments thus far?
5:30
- I think the most fun job I ever had
5:32
before the one I have now, which is truly awesome job,
5:36
was leading the marketing team in EMBA.
5:42
Based out of London for 2010 to 2000,
5:46
or 2007 to 2010.
5:49
So that was a amazing time for Salesforce.
5:54
You know, we had had an operation in Europe for many years,
5:58
but we went from a couple dozen people
6:03
to thousands of people in that time in Europe.
6:09
And from a real concentration of customers in the UK,
6:14
and a little bit of Ireland,
6:16
and just a teeny bit on the continent,
6:20
to really becoming a standard in the enterprise
6:23
for large customers across a wide swath of Western Europe.
6:29
It was an amazing, fast-paced, crazy, challenging time.
6:35
I've never traveled so much, of course.
6:39
Fortunately, the flights were shorter,
6:41
but it was an amazing and exciting time.
6:44
And I think the team that we built there,
6:46
I think that the progress that we made,
6:49
and really penetrating that market,
6:51
which was super skeptical when I got there,
6:53
about the cloud and SaaS.
6:56
And really seeing that turn,
6:59
and now it's just, it fills me with enormous pride,
7:04
every time now that I go to Europe,
7:07
or meet with European customers.
7:09
I spent two hours with one of our largest customers
7:11
in Europe this morning,
7:14
and it just gives me enormous pride
7:17
how much we changed things there in that time.
7:22
And it was great people.
7:26
Rob Acker, of course.
7:28
Carl Schachter made reappearance in that story,
7:30
but people like Lindsey Armstrong,
7:32
and some of these characters who really helped us
7:36
pull that off, just amazing people to work with
7:39
and work I'm really proud of.
7:41
- Yeah, I mean, I was fortunate enough to work with you
7:44
when you were CMO in EMEA,
7:46
and that was one of the very first times that,
7:49
we tested Dreamforce Europe.
7:55
Remember at the bar.
7:56
- Yes, 2008.
7:57
- Yes.
7:58
- At the bar at the center in London.
8:00
- At the bar at the center in London,
8:02
and back then, I mean, for the listeners
8:05
and the viewers out there, internet was not as
8:09
free-flowing as it is today,
8:11
where it's pretty much ubiquitous everywhere.
8:15
And I remember, we had troubles with Wi-Fi
8:18
during the event conference,
8:20
and we were like, "Oh my gosh,
8:22
"what happens if the Wi-Fi goes out?"
8:25
That means the cloud is not going to be working, you know?
8:29
But those were the stresses of way back in the day.
8:32
- Oh yeah, we would have backup demos
8:36
that were just entirely cached locally,
8:39
so that if the internet went out, it would still work.
8:41
They were live, but they were cached live,
8:44
because that was actually a real risk.
8:47
You'd lose internet and then all the keynote.
8:49
- Yeah, and that was one of my favorite stories,
8:51
was we gave an indication to Benioff to mark about,
8:56
if the internet went out at some point,
8:58
we would give a sign, and it was Jagger McConnell,
9:01
who would give that sign on stage,
9:03
and he would just walk off the stage.
9:05
And it actually did happen,
9:07
just for the viewers out there,
9:09
and Mark goes, "Jagger, now click on this,
9:12
"like that and change it back
9:14
"to from Japanese to English, right?"
9:16
- Right, yes.
9:17
- "Let's go take a look."
9:18
And then all of a sudden, he's like,
9:19
"Jagger, where'd you go?"
9:21
And everyone laughed.
9:22
But thank God, by the time Jagger went back on stage,
9:25
the internet was back up,
9:27
and he clicked through and the demo worked.
9:28
And so, those are some of those great behind the scenes
9:31
that I love sharing with that.
9:34
But that's just one example of just, you know--
9:37
- It's more of a little drama backstage
9:40
at the keynotes, for sure.
9:42
And you certainly had plenty of that experience
9:45
in your time.
9:45
- Yeah.
9:46
- Yeah.
9:47
- Now, so what's it on the opposite side of the spectrum?
9:49
You know, what would you say
9:51
is your biggest lesson learned here at Salesforce?
9:55
- I think probably the most important lesson
9:58
that I've learned at Salesforce
10:01
is really about the fundamentals of the game we're playing.
10:06
You know, we're basically in enterprise software, right?
10:11
Yes, we're doing it very differently
10:14
than previous generations of technology have done.
10:15
And we're basically enterprise software.
10:17
And, you know, enterprise software is very different
10:22
from a lot of other technology categories
10:26
in that what we are selling fundamentally
10:31
is transformation, it's change.
10:33
And people don't buy Salesforce to do things
10:37
the same way tomorrow that they did yesterday, right?
10:42
They are buying Salesforce
10:45
and it's true of other enterprise applications
10:48
that companies invest in.
10:50
They do it to affect change, to grow faster,
10:53
to improve productivity, improve performance,
10:56
improve customer experience,
10:59
and change at an organizational level,
11:03
of course you have to adopt software,
11:04
but the change that required to achieve
11:08
the transformational benefit really takes
11:11
a level of executive commitment.
11:15
And really, you know, obviously it depends on the size
11:19
of the organization and the work you're doing,
11:20
but board level commitment to change.
11:25
And, you know, so many times in my career
11:30
I've seen the, you know, excitement around the potential
11:35
for transforming our industry,
11:38
the enterprise software business
11:40
into something that, you know, customers buy
11:44
versus is being sold, right?
11:47
And I think the thing that I have really learned
11:50
is that because of this element of executive commitment
11:55
towards transformational change
11:59
that's a part of the value proposition of what we're doing,
12:03
like that does not get achieved
12:05
without a really strategic engagement
12:11
in it through a selling motion
12:14
between organizations, right?
12:17
Like we, what we are doing is so fundamentally
12:21
transformative for our customers
12:24
that we have to invest in those kinds of relationships
12:28
to develop and get to the executive suites
12:33
and understand the problems that they're trying to solve
12:35
and the transformations they're trying to lead
12:37
and then truly partner with them to do it.
12:40
And that informs almost every decision that we make,
12:46
including the decisions that we make about the product,
12:48
what products that we build
12:50
and what features to prioritize
12:52
and how we need to accomplish that
12:54
because it is, it's like the fundamental thing.
12:57
- If you could go back to your early days at Salesforce,
13:00
you know, you've been there now, you know,
13:02
almost close to 20 years,
13:04
what advice would you give yourself?
13:08
- Spend more time with customers.
13:10
It's kind of the advice I give
13:14
to every new product manager who joins at Salesforce
13:17
and is like looking for a mentor or whatever,
13:19
or anybody I hire,
13:20
I have just hired some new executives on my team
13:26
and I've said, you know, for the first 30 days,
13:28
I want you to just go talk to customers and partners,
13:31
just like go learn as much as you can
13:33
from the cold face, right, of our business.
13:38
And I think, especially as companies get bigger,
13:43
it's easy to spend all your time in internal meetings
13:46
and, you know, preparing for them
13:51
and pouring all your energy into the pixel perfect deck.
13:54
You know, you know, this story for the internal consumption
13:58
and I think some of that's really important
14:00
but like if you're sacrificing connection
14:04
with customers in the market,
14:06
to do that eventually you become irrelevant.
14:09
- That's a really sage advice
14:11
and you know, as being a customer of yours, Woodson,
14:14
I would say you have been completely open
14:17
and have listened to all of our, you know,
14:20
feedback and concerns.
14:21
So it is something that's very true that you live by
14:25
and I think that's incredibly sage advice
14:28
to everyone that's out there.
14:30
So I wanna ask you about the meaning of O'Hanna
14:33
and I ask this of all my guests because I feel like
14:36
when I think about this, everyone describes it differently
14:39
but I'm curious, how would you describe the O'Hanna
14:42
and what does it mean to you?
14:44
- I mean, I'm a literalist.
14:46
I would basically say it's the Salesforce family.
14:49
You know, to me that family includes,
14:51
of course, the people who work here
14:53
but it includes our customers and our partners
14:57
and the people who are betting their careers
14:59
on this ecosystem, which is now, you know,
15:04
millions and millions of people.
15:05
So it's a pretty big group
15:07
and it is, I think of it as kind of a thing with rings, right?
15:12
Like there's the very inner circle of the O'Hanna
15:16
which is probably where we put the employees
15:19
but there are some, you know, MVPs
15:22
in the Salesforce ecosystem
15:23
who I think fit right in there too, you know?
15:26
And one thing that to me is so powerful
15:32
about what we've somehow managed to create here
15:37
is the transformational impact
15:42
that discovering this ecosystem
15:46
has had on so many individual lives, right?
15:52
And I'm not even gonna say careers just like lives
15:56
and I've had this amazing experience lately
16:00
with a friend who's a refugee from,
16:05
he's from Cameroon and he has been here in the US
16:10
for a couple of years now
16:12
and he, after he was released from immigration detention,
16:16
he was determined to make himself successful
16:20
and in the US and he did it on Trailhead.
16:25
You know, he went and he learned
16:27
and he got himself all the badges
16:29
until he could get, scratch his way,
16:32
into a role working for a nonprofit customer of Salesforce,
16:36
doing some administrative work,
16:38
got himself a gig with a consulting company,
16:40
now he's a product manager
16:42
and he's launched a brand new product
16:44
which by the way, is aimed at helping
16:47
other people who are refugees today,
16:51
managing all their experience, legal process and so forth
16:54
on the Salesforce technology platform.
16:57
And I just think about the transformational power
17:01
of that kind of thing for him as an individual,
17:05
but for all the people who he's now able to help
17:08
by virtue of this technology, the skills he's able to grow,
17:13
the network he's able to build
17:14
and the power of all these people working together.
17:17
It's really awesome.
17:19
- I mean, that's incredible.
17:20
And I mean, that's also a huge thanks to you too, Woodson.
17:22
I know you don't wanna like promote yourself here,
17:26
but I'll do it on your behalf
17:27
and I know you had a direct hand
17:29
in helping drive that as well too from a refugee standpoint.
17:34
You know, just for the listeners out there,
17:36
I would love for you to plug, you know,
17:38
that nonprofit that you have started and created
17:42
to get that out there as well.
17:46
- Yeah, so I can't claim to be a founder on that one
17:49
that we've just described.
17:50
That's Mobile Pathways, an amazing organization
17:54
led by Jeff O'Brien and Bart Scapura,
17:58
but they are Mobile Pathways,
18:02
which is the platform behind the product
18:06
I just described that my friend has been working on.
18:10
His name is Jamal,
18:11
is an incredible nonprofit themselves,
18:17
leveraging technology from Salesforce,
18:20
but from other technology vendors,
18:22
they use tech from Twilio, they use tech from WhatsApp,
18:25
they have a variety of tech they've stitched together
18:28
to serve these immigrant communities
18:31
and provide them with legal aid and assistance
18:34
in a scalable way so that they can show up in court,
18:38
best represent themselves in the immigration process
18:41
and have a chance at a new life.
18:44
And it's an incredible example of pro bono contribution
18:49
by the O'Hanna, you know, to an important mission like this.
18:53
I think there have been more than 40 Salesforce volunteers
18:57
who've worked on the pro bono and the tech to build this out.
19:01
And it's just a super powerful example
19:04
of what the O'Hanna can do to have an impact in the world.
19:09
- Yeah, I mean, that's incredible.
19:11
I mean, you know, just, you know, when every time
19:15
when people wanna know the meaning of O'Hanna,
19:18
you know, this interview alone has already said
19:21
two of the major ones, it's just like,
19:23
get in front of the customer and become a force for good,
19:27
right? And so that's awesome.
19:29
Now, before we get into our next segment, Woodson,
19:32
are there any special stories or O'Hanna moments
19:34
like you just shared?
19:36
That is a little behind the scenes
19:37
that you would wanna share for everyone.
19:39
Like what would be another good use case
19:41
of an O'Hanna moment?
19:42
- I've been involved in examples of individuals
19:47
who might be Salesforce customers or partners
19:51
or employees and I've seen this happen in all of these cases.
19:56
Who've been impacted in some way by tragedy
20:01
and seen the community rise to help
20:09
in ways that are stunning and incredibly impactful.
20:14
You know, somebody whose family was in trouble
20:22
in a foreign country, in a conflict zone,
20:27
where the Salesforce team rallied
20:35
to drive an evacuation across borders
20:40
into countries where we have no footprint,
20:44
no customers, right?
20:46
No partners, but really amazing
20:51
allocation of resource to help solve individual,
20:56
personal, you know, challenges.
21:00
And it's just amazing to see the people come together
21:02
to do this.
21:03
And so without, it's not my story,
21:05
without naming names there.
21:06
I just wanna say I'm incredibly proud of that kind of thing.
21:09
- So let's get into our next segment, What's Cooking?
21:13
So Woodson, you are now the Executive Vice President
21:16
and General Manager of the Salesforce App Exchange.
21:18
I want you to talk a little bit about how you got
21:21
to where you are now and what your journey has been like
21:24
to get to that current role.
21:26
- You know, the App Exchange is a marketplace,
21:27
it's a product, right?
21:29
We build software that helps our customers discover
21:31
these applications in the marketplace.
21:35
And it's got all the fun stuff.
21:37
It's got AI and discovery and search and recommendations
21:40
and all of the cool things.
21:43
And it is, and it has live engagement, right?
21:48
It has chat feature in the App Exchange,
21:51
of course, powered by Qualified.
21:53
So it's product, but of course,
21:56
it's also the demand generation to get everybody there, right?
21:59
To engage the trailblazers and find them
22:03
wherever they are in their journey with Salesforce
22:05
and bring them into the App Exchange
22:06
and begin the journey of discovering
22:09
the power of the ecosystem.
22:11
And so there's a lot of marketing there,
22:14
marketing to customers,
22:17
marketing what's in the marketplace, right?
22:19
Marketing to partners, we got to have partners join
22:23
and build and develop a business in our marketplace.
22:27
And then obviously to market with those partners
22:30
to help them with the demand generation
22:32
and to drive customer acquisition.
22:34
And so it has a lot of marketing.
22:37
And then, you know, there's a lot of complexity
22:38
to the operations of this thing.
22:40
There's a lot of transactions there.
22:42
There on marketplace is full of innovations.
22:46
Not our innovations work, right?
22:48
Like sometimes the companies die, right?
22:51
Behind these things.
22:53
And that has to all be managed, right?
22:55
Oh, how do we, how do we delist applications?
22:59
How do we help customers who've used those applications
23:02
and find alternatives?
23:03
There's a lot of work involved in operating a marketplace
23:07
in an ecosystem of the scope of the App Exchange.
23:09
And you know, it's pretty big.
23:11
It's 7,000 listings in the App Exchange today.
23:14
There's more than 10 million installations
23:16
in the history of it.
23:17
It's grown a long way.
23:19
You know, from the science project it started as when we,
23:24
you know, really began that work back in 2005
23:27
as a way to prove the value of the platform, you know?
23:34
And it's had a lot of impact.
23:37
Now, every customer uses something from the App Exchange,
23:40
right?
23:41
And many use way more.
23:42
One customer I was talking to this morning
23:43
using 20 plus applications from the App Exchange.
23:46
So it's a big impact.
23:48
And it's a lot of fun.
23:51
- Yeah.
23:52
And that's incredible just to hear the success
23:54
that the App Exchange is continuing to deliver
23:57
for the customers that are out there.
23:59
You know, you could take this from either a product
24:01
or a community interpretation,
24:03
but with the Salesforce App Exchange,
24:06
what challenges are you seeing now?
24:08
And how are you applying what you learned,
24:12
obviously through your careers at Salesforce
24:13
to these challenges?
24:14
And I know you just mentioned, you know,
24:16
product marketing and operations.
24:18
I know you're taking a lot of that.
24:20
But what are you seeing?
24:22
- Salesforce has also diversified a lot
24:25
in our product portfolio since my first day is here in 2005.
24:30
And, you know, the App Exchange,
24:32
as a value proposition, the platform,
24:37
the listings in the marketplace largely revolve
24:41
around, you know, more of the original Salesforce products
24:45
than the acquired ones.
24:47
And so as we think about the potential
24:51
and the future of the App Exchange,
24:52
a lot of it is about extending this value proposition
24:55
to the rest of the customer 360, you know,
24:58
to the marketing cloud, the commerce cloud,
25:02
milsoft, slack, tableau.
25:04
And we, and I'm doing a lot of work on my team
25:07
and with a lot of our product partners across the company
25:11
doing a lot of work to say,
25:13
how do we make this all work better together
25:16
and bring these, the same ecosystem value proposition
25:19
to the rest of Salesforce?
25:21
So that's probably the other biggest chunk.
25:25
And then there's just, you know, there's a lot of work.
25:27
It's a lot of partner relationships,
25:30
a lot of customer relationships
25:33
and we have all the same, you know,
25:35
anybody running a business, lots of customers.
25:37
And lots of partners has a lot of work to do.
25:40
But I love that, you know, I love that part of the job.
25:43
I love the time I get to spend with customers
25:47
and with partners, understanding their problems,
25:51
working on solving them where I can,
25:52
sharing expertise or, you know, best practice
25:56
where that's the need, you know,
25:57
and finding like the breakthrough insight
26:03
that, you know, can take us to the next level.
26:05
So what is next for the AppExchange
26:07
and how are you thinking about shaping the future?
26:10
- Well, this year is super exciting
26:11
because we're basically re-releasing the AppExchange.
26:14
So we did the homepage of the AppExchange
26:16
completely revamped in March.
26:19
And this year we're rolling out
26:20
an entirely new experience of the AppExchange,
26:22
both for customers to discover,
26:25
evaluate solutions, but also for partners.
26:30
So the entire experience of the partner
26:34
in joining the partner program, listing apps on AppExchange,
26:39
going through the security review process, et cetera,
26:41
we're revamping entirely.
26:42
That's just super exciting, bringing a fresh set of eyes
26:47
to that and rethinking all of that
26:51
from the user perspective and taking it to the next level.
26:53
I'm very excited about that work.
26:55
It's already starting to hit the street
26:56
and there'll be much more coming this year.
26:58
- Okay, so let's get into our final segment,
27:01
future forecast.
27:02
All right, what do you envision as the future
27:06
of the Salesforce ecosystem?
27:07
- I think Salesforce has been a tremendously influential
27:12
force for good in the world,
27:14
the philanthropy, philanthropic mission for sure,
27:18
but our engagement in cultural issues,
27:22
our impact in terms of driving successful customer,
27:28
our customer success, economic growth.
27:32
I think there are so many great influences
27:35
Salesforce is having in the world
27:36
and I see that only accelerating.
27:38
And as, while there are certainly places
27:45
where tech as an industry is challenged,
27:48
in terms of is it good or is it not good
27:54
for the world and the society and everything else,
27:56
I think Salesforce is in a very good place
28:00
in that way.
28:02
I think we are broadly perceived
28:03
as a very positive influence in the universe.
28:07
And now that's the one thing I'm super proud of.
28:09
I mean, I think sales are gonna continue to grow.
28:11
I think Salesforce is gonna continue to become,
28:15
to offer more specific capabilities in more specific ways.
28:20
So industries is an obvious example of a place
28:24
where we've started to do that a lot,
28:26
that will continue more and more industries.
28:29
We'll be able to, with our scale,
28:32
provide more effective specialization
28:36
in domains like industries,
28:38
but also for geographic markets and cultural market,
28:42
markets that are different culturally.
28:45
And I think this is one of the great benefits
28:47
that comes with scale.
28:48
So I think all of that's part of the future.
28:50
- So speaking of that, for all the listeners
28:53
and the viewers out there,
28:56
what advice would you have for an aspiring leader?
28:59
- I think as a leader,
29:02
we need to always be asking ourselves,
29:05
what do I want to learn?
29:07
Frame our futures and our thinking about our futures
29:12
and our asks about our futures in the context of learning.
29:16
What do I want to learn next?
29:19
Who can help me achieve that?
29:23
What experiences could help me achieve that?
29:25
Or become part of your next steps.
29:29
But the discipline around really translating your ambitions
29:33
for status, really into ambitions for learning.
29:37
And so yes, you want to be a VP
29:41
or a senior vice president or whatever.
29:43
Well, like what do you think it is you need to learn
29:46
to do that job effectively?
29:48
How do you think you can learn that?
29:51
Who do you think you can learn that from?
29:54
Those become the important questions
29:56
to give you tangible work to do,
30:00
to drive your own career,
30:03
to drive your own impact in the world.
30:06
- Yeah, that's awesome advice, Wurzen, thank you.
30:09
Now, before letting you go,
30:10
I want to have a little fun with a quick lightning round.
30:14
Are you ready for this?
30:15
- Yep, okay, let's do it.
30:16
- What's your favorite Salesforce product?
30:18
- Slack.
30:21
And it wasn't two years ago.
30:26
Okay, classic or lightning?
30:27
- Lightning.
30:30
- Favorite Salesforce character?
30:34
- Appy, of course.
30:36
- Of course.
30:37
Favorite brand of anything besides Salesforce
30:40
or the AppExchange?
30:41
- This was hard for me.
30:44
The answer is Tesla.
30:45
And I feel conflicted about the answer,
30:49
but that's the answer.
30:50
- Good answer.
30:53
What secret skill that is not on the resume?
30:55
- I'm a builder, like carpentry, hammers and nails.
31:07
- That's awesome.
31:08
So you just won front row seats,
31:11
front row seat tickets to your dream event.
31:13
What is it, and it can't be Dreamforce, so?
31:15
- It's the Warriors taking the national championship
31:20
in a week.
31:22
- Yes, yes, go dubs, go dubs.
31:25
All right, Woodson, well, this has been so much fun,
31:27
but before I let you go,
31:28
let the listeners know where they can find you,
31:30
and is there anything else you'd like to share
31:33
or anything to plug?
31:34
- I'm @Woodson_Martin on Twitter.
31:38
I might email address [email protected].
31:41
- Anything else?
31:42
- Spend some time on the AppExchange.
31:44
If you go to appexchange.com/new,
31:47
there's an amazing page that shows you
31:49
all the latest innovation from our ecosystem.
31:53
Every day of the week, it's amazing.
31:55
I'm always surprised by what I find.
31:57
It's cool, check it out.
31:59
Thanks Dan, Darcy, by the way,
32:01
for this opportunity to talk to this crowd.
32:04
I'm excited.
32:06
- Well, thank you, Woodson,
32:07
and it's been incredible and good catching up.
32:10
Thank you so much.
