Without the global $post; I wouldn’t have been able to figure it out. I’m curious why that is needed in this format, but not if I were putting it directly on the page, like this:

<?php if ( have_rows( 'team_members' ) ) : ?>
	<?php while ( have_rows( 'team_members' ) ) : the_row(); ?>
		<?php $post_object = get_sub_field( 'team_member' ); ?>
		<?php if ( $post_object ): ?>
			<?php $post = $post_object; ?>
			<?php setup_postdata( $post ); ?> 
				<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
			<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
		<?php endif; ?>
	<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>
	<?php // no rows found ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Does that have to do with the shortcode vs. on page code?
