Never GTM Alone
Welcome to Never GTM Alone—the podcast where tech marketing gets personal. Hosted by Rick Currier, founder of PartnerVista and longtime partner marketing strategist, this show cuts through the noise of go-to-market jargon to bring you unfiltered conversations at the intersection of partnerships, technology, and human connection.
Whether you’re a partner marketer navigating complex ecosystems, a founder building your first co-sell motion, or a tech exec wondering why sales still doesn’t get it—we’re here for the real talk.
Each episode blends tactical insight with humor, honesty, and a side of behind-the-scenes drama. Expect expert guests, sharp takes, and the occasional marketing horror story. From AI-powered nurture streams to failed partner launches and co-marketing redemption arcs—we cover what actually drives growth in B2B tech.
Because no one builds pipeline alone. And no one should have to figure this sh*t out solo.
Topics we explore:
- Partner marketing & channel strategy
- Co-selling, attribution, and ecosystem operations
- Martech, AI, and automation in GTM
- Personal + professional growth inside the tech grind
- What not to do (aka your new favorite segment)

How AI Accelerates Partner Marketing w/ Ryan De La Parra
Every partner marketer is under the same pressure: prove ROI fast, or risk losing budget. In this conversation, host Rick Currier sits down with Ryan De La Parra, Head of Global Partner Marketing at Nasuni, to unpack how AI actually accelerates joint GTM—without adding headcount. Ryan shares how he evolved from reseller to ISV marketer, then digs into the tactical AI workflows he uses today: auto-generating campaign follow-up from transcripts tied to ICP pain points, structuring prompts to scale consistent assets across alliances, and creating micro-content that enables sellers faster. Ryan also reveals how he built a full partner sales academy in under two months, without drowning people in slides, and why building feedback communities matters more than tool sprawl. For cloud alliance, ISV, and channel marketers tasked with tying MDF and co-op spend to pipeline, this episode is a playbook for speed-to-execution and measurable impact.
