If your marketing grew like a dividend-reinvestment plan, would you still let a quarterly target dictate every decision? 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). His 25+ year career includes leadership roles at Google Canada, Evernote, and Xero, and board experience at Tim Hortons.

Childrearing: How Different Systems Shape Us with Dr Emily Emmott 35:54

2 years тому35:54

Dr Emily Emmott is a lecturer in Human Behavioural Ecology at UCL. Specialising in extended and institutional child-rearing systems (such as parenting, grand-parenting, schooling and social care provisions) and their implications for health and wellbeing (including health-related behaviours. We discuss the limitations of taking an evolutionary perspective on childrearing, the burden on intensive parent systems on caregivers, and gender differences in parental investment and offspring prospects; ultimately, it is impossible to say there is a 'right way' to raise a child.…

Palaeolithic: Mobility & Group Relations with Dr Amy Clark 39:58

4 years тому39:58

39:58

Movement, mobility and migration - what can these facets of human behaviour in the archaeological record tell us about our past social relationships? Dr Amy Clark - lecturer and researcher at Harvard University - joins me to discuss this topic as well as her research in Morocco. Amy discusses what the structures and spatial distributions of groups across a landscape can tell us about group size, relationships and movement. We cover what evidence is used to explore these patterns in the archaeological record, as well as what we can learn about changes over time in the Palaeolithic.

Primates: Cognition, Culture & Environment with Dr Kathelijne Koops 28:11

5 years тому28:11

28:11

Cognition, culture and environment - how do they work together to influence primate behaviour? What can tool use and behavioural patterns tell us about primate society? Studying primates provides one of the best insights into the evolutionary origins of human behaviours. To truly understand how and why certain behaviours are adopted (and differ) in primate species, a combination of factors must be considered. If you want to learn about tool use, nesting and behavioural patterns, if you want to understand primate culture, then this is the episode for you! Dr Kathelijne Koops and I discuss the impact of the interaction of cognition, culture and environment on primate behaviour - unfolding the stories of our closest living relatives.

From agriculture to human culture and society, there is more to zooarchaeology than just bones! Discover what we know about the human past from zooarchaeology and how we use animals to decipher history... When and why was agriculture adopted so differently across the globe? How can we use zooarchaeology to explore domestication and feasting? What does zooarchaeology tell us about status and human society? In this episode Peter and I discuss all of these questions and explore much more about the fascinating field of zooarchaeology!

The earliest period in our human past - the Palaeolithic. This fascinating period covers human evolution and our early innovations as Homo Sapiens. The Palaeolithic really encompasses everything about us as a species... Why did humans develop art? When do we first see cave art? When did humans start burying the dead? Professor Paul Pettitt and I discuss all this and much more in the episode - it's all about the Palaeolithic!

Neanderthals, Bones & Burials with Dr Emma Pomeroy 35:29

5 years тому35:29

Neaderthals are plagued with stereotypes - brutish, simple and less human hominids. However, evidence increasingly suggests they were capable of abstract thought and compassion just like us. What evidence do we have of Neaderthal compassion? How can we learn about the cultures of our ancestors through archaeology? How can studies of health in the past inform our understanding of health today? For all this and more, join me and Dr Emma Pomeroy as we discuss Shanidar Cave and osteoarchaeology...

Archaeology tells us about the human past, but it's not all dirt and digging. We can explore how human biology has changed through time, through skeletons and sampling, it's all about bioarchaeology! Ever wondered how healthy people were in the past? Why we know where prehistoric people have lived and travelled? Or even what an Egyptian ate for breakfast? Then today's episode is for you. Rebecca and I discuss how we can find out about the biology, behaviour and even cultures of people in the past all through their bones.

Chimpanzees are our closest living ancestor, and we are also theirs. We know how our biology has evolved - but what about our communication. Communication is a trait common to many organisms - but we don't all communicate in the same way. Join me (Georgina Holmes) and Dr Cat Hobaiter as we uncover why language is more than just vocalisation, and find out how we can understand what our fellow primates are trying say...

Primates are our closest living relatives. We know they can learn from us, but what can we learn from them? What is primatology? Should we study primates in zoos? And what can they teach us about evolution? Dive into the world of primatology with me (Georgina Holmes) and Charlotte Frearson as we discuss this fascinating field of research which provides an insight into humanity and evolution.
