Agility requires stacking returning gains faster than the market changes—think compound interest, but for marketing campaigns. Today we’re going to talk about the Compound Marketing Engine, agentic AI, and why “data-driven” still needs greater adoption among leaders. To help me discuss this topic, I’d like to welcome Chris O'Neill, CEO of GrowthLoop. About Chris O'Neill Chris O’Neill is CEO of GrowthLoop and a board director at Gap Inc. (NYSE: GPS).

Send us a text This episode was the second in a series of three practicasts from 2024 centered around "holding space," a concept we learned from Heather Plett, author of "The Art of Holding Space." Our co-creator for this series was our OneOp colleague, Kristen Jowers. In this episode, Kristen shares two practices to help us prepare to hold space for someone experiencing grief. Some of the practices we recommend on this show are more quick and simple, and some take a bit more time, intention, focus and determination. "Holding Space" falls into the latter category. You can start working on it immediately, but it will take building the habit and muscle memory to really start seeing the impacts. Which is why we decided to republish this episode from a year ago, to check in with you on how you are doing with this practice, and give us all a chance to revisit it.
