On June 25th 2025, in collaboration with Open Folk, we presented our first ever live interview event in Los Angeles. As Open Folk put it: "In These Lines is a live event where three artists each bring one song — not just to perform, but to explore. They sit down with Sofia Loporcaro, host of Before The Chorus, to talk about where the song came from, what it meant to write it, and what it still holds. Then they play it. Just the song, and the truth behind it."

Before a song is released, a record is produced, or a chorus is written, the musicians that write them think. A lot. They live. A lot. And they feel. A LOT. Hosted by award-winning interviewer Sofia Loporcaro, Before the Chorus explores the genuine human experiences behind the music. Sofia’s deep knowledge of music and personal journey with mental health help her connect with artists on a meaningful level. This is a space where fans connect with artists, and listeners from all walks of life feel seen through the stories that shape the music we love. About the host: Sofia Loporcaro is an award-winning interviewer and radio host who’s spent over 8 years helping musicians share their stories. She’s hosted shows for Amazing Radio, and Transmission Roundhouse. Now on Before the Chorus, she’s had the chance to host guests like Glass Animals, Feist, Madison Cunningham, Mick Jenkins, & Ru Paul's Drag Race winner Shea Couleé. Learn more about your ad choices.

"AI shouldn’t be something you pay for every time you use it" | Daryn on DeepSeek’s Big Disruption 12:55

23 weeks ago12:55

12:55

Welcome back to the Evolving HubSpot podcast with Daryn Smith. In this episode, we tackle some of the biggest shifts in AI, CRM, and the future of business starting with DeepSeek’s breakthrough in AI pricing and what that means for companies like HubSpot and Salesforce. Here’s what you can expect: 1. The Disruption of AI Pricing AI is getting cheaper, and DeepSeek is changing the game. Daryn explores why charging per AI interaction never made sense and how businesses will need to rethink AI monetization models moving forward. 2. The Role of AI Agents in Customer Experience With Dharmesh Shah’s AI agent platform surpassing 250,000 users, AI-driven interactions are becoming the norm. But how do businesses ensure AI enhances, rather than damages, customer experience? Daryn breaks down the importance of designing experiences intentionally and where AI should fit in. 3. The Future of HubSpot’s Partner Network As HubSpot moves further upmarket, its partner ecosystem is critical. Daryn discusses how value-added service providers (VASPs) are key to successful implementations, process engineering, and long-term adoption. 4. Amazon’s Potential Move into CRM Speculation is growing about Amazon entering the CRM space. Daryn explains why data control is the real battleground, what this means for AI-powered CRM, and how incumbents like HubSpot and Salesforce could respond. 5. The Critical Skills for an AI-Driven Workplace AI won’t replace human skills—but it will change what’s needed to succeed. Daryn shares why delegation is the most valuable skill in an AI-first world and how professionals can leverage AI to amplify their impact. 6. The Advantage Humans Still Have Over AI in Sales AI can analyze conversations, optimize processes, and even craft perfect sales pitches—but it can’t build trust. Daryn dives into why trust remains the ultimate differentiator in B2B sales and how sales teams can use AI to enhance, rather than replace, human connection.
