Running the second half of a marathon faster than the first sounds borderline impossible, but Mary Beech treats that idea (the negative split) as a life philosophy. As Chief Growth Officer at Thorne, she sat down with Jay Schwedelson to get into why Gen Z will sit through an hour-long Reddit AMA but scroll right past your TikTok, why 65% of Americans say picking a supplement is more confusing than filing their taxes, and what actually changes when a marketer trades the CMO seat for full P&L ownership.

Best Moments:

(03:45) Why she'd never go backwards to CMO and what the CGO title really unlocks

(05:30) Her head of sales is her closest peer at Thorne, on purpose

(07:45) The wellness confidence stat that should make every marketer rethink their content

(08:30) Gen Z's split brain, six-second ads and hour-long Reddit AMAs in the same week

(13:30) Why TikTok hasn't cracked for a clinical supplement brand even though everyone else is winning there

(18:45) The negative split applied to your career, today gets to be better than yesterday ㅤ
