Greg and Geoff wrap up Season 1 of Leadership In reflecting on the themes, lessons, and leadership perspectives that emerged across eight episodes.

They revisit the core questions asked of every guest, discuss what stood out across different leaders and backgrounds, and share their own views on authenticity, diversity of thought, incentives, AI, and the legacies leaders aim to leave behind.

Greg and Geoff sit down with GumGum’s Kerel Cooper (CMO) and Katy Loria (CRO) to discuss the importance of embracing vulnerabilities, managing personal brands, and the difference in dynamics between large and small organizations. The conversation delves into GumGum’s approach to contextual advertising, the role of consumer mindset in targeted ads, and how AI and machine learning influence their strategies.
