Adam is joined by Palo Alto's Senior Competitive Strategy Analyst Ben Schultz for the final episode in our Scottsdale sit-downs series during SCIP IntelliCon 2023. Ben joined the show for a good time not a long time to chat about his path from the defense industry to competitive strategy, coming out of your shell as an introvert and the one biggest disagreement he has with his boss Alysse Nockels.
