From Biochemistry to Billions — Engineering Smarter, Data-Driven Marketing Systems
In this week’s episode, Sacha sits down with Justin Rashidi, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at SeedX, to explore how an engineer’s mindset can eliminate waste and unlock real business growth.
From pivoting out of medicine to leading a multi-million-dollar consultancy that’s generated over $1B in client revenue, Justin breaks down what it means to make marketing scientific again—rooted in data, not hype.
We dig into:
- The hidden marketing tax and where brands lose millions in ad spend
- B2B vs. B2C attribution: fixing the broken data pipeline
- The metrics that actually move the needle (LTV, CAC, new customers)
- Incrementality testing and why platform ROAS lies
- The sales ↔ marketing black hole—and how to close it
- AI’s real role: freeing humans from the tedious, not replacing them
- Scaling without chaos—why 30–50% growth beats “hypergrowth” every time
🎯 Key Takeaways:
Clarity beats complexity—simpler metrics scale faster.
Marketing is an investment, not an expense.
Real growth happens when data, people, and strategy finally align.
