A CMO Confidential Interview with Kipp Bodnar, CMO of HubSpot and author of the newly released book, "Loop: A New Growth Model for an AI-First World."

Key topics include:
- The importance of mentions and attributions
- How judgement and taste can be learned
- Why you should strive for "counterfactual insights"
- Tips for finding top caliber employees
Tune in to hear a story about the Savannah Bananas and why "You've got to be like Taylor Swift - remarkable and prolific" with your marketing.
