Adrian H2H Podcast

A podcast about growth, people, and real conversations

If you believe growth comes from people — not scripts, hacks, or hype — you’re in the right place.

The H2H Sales Automation Podcast, hosted by Bart Kowalczyk, CEO of AutomateNow, is for growing-business owners, CEOs, and sales leaders who want to move faster without losing the human side of selling.

In each episode, Bart speaks with founders, leaders, and operators about how they combine human-led sales and marketing with smart automation to create momentum that lasts.

Why this matters

  • Growth is still human

    Tools change, but trust, listening, and relationships still drive real sales.

  • Leaders learn from leaders

    Honest stories from peers are more valuable than theory or templates.

  • Automation needs context

    Without real-world insight, automation creates noise instead of momentum.

  • Clarity beats hype

    Short, practical conversations cut through trends and focus on what works.

Most businesses don’t lack tools. They struggle with alignment, clarity, and trust, especially as they grow.
