I bring Cody Schneider back on the show to build two marketing agents end to end, live. The first one monitors LinkedIn posts from creators in your category, scrapes everyone who engages, waterfalls those profiles into emails and phone numbers, and then runs cold email and LinkedIn DMs with an agent managing the replies. The second one turns internal conversations, sales calls, and podcast transcripts into a daily organic LinkedIn content engine across an entire team. Cody names every tool in the stack, shares the real infrastructure costs, and shows the actual terminal commands he runs in Claude Code. By the end you have two systems you can go set up today for your startup.

Key Points
LinkedIn engagement is a hand raise, so it beats firmographics as a targeting signal.
Ten to twenty source accounts give you roughly 80% surface area coverage of an industry.
Waterfall enrichment moves cheapest to most expensive: GitLeads, then Apollo, then Origami or Prospeo.
Roughly $200 a month covers sending software plus inboxes for about 10,000 cold emails.
An agent here is plain code on a cron job with an LLM attached where judgment is needed.
Organic content works best when it starts from real human source material like calls, Slack, and transcripts.
