Reply To: How to also get ACF fields from a get_post loop

I was able to upgrade the logic of my loop to be manipulated by ACF fields (yeaahh!!!), for example, I can filter the get_post loop by my meta_query of ACF data as shown below…

//BUILD THE LOOP AND LOAD THE POSTS
function ithub_exec_summary_landing_loop() {

	//DEFINE OUTPUT VAR
	$out = '';

	//LOOP - GET AL EXECUTIVE SUMMARIES VIA GET_POSTS()
	$args = array(
		'numberposts' => -1,
		'orderby' => 'modified',
		'order'   => 'ASC',
		'category_name' => 'executive-summary',
		'meta_query' => array(
			'relation' => 'OR',
			array(
				'key' => 'product_owner',
				'value' => 'larry',
				'compare' => 'LIKE'
			),
			array(
			'key' => 'product_owner',
			'value' => 'sally',
			'compare' => 'LIKE'
			),
			array(
			'key' => 'product_owner',
			'value' => 'bob',
			'compare' => 'LIKE'
			)
		)

		);
		$mExecSumPosts = get_posts($args);

		//REFERENCE LOOP FOR PREVIEWING REVISIONS
		if ($mExecSumPosts) {
			foreach ($mExecSumPosts as $post):
				setup_postdata($post);
				//DEFINE LOOP VARS
				$mtitle = $post->post_title;
				$mpublisheddate = get_the_time('Y-m-d', $post->ID);
				$mformateddate =  date("l F jS, Y",  strtotime($mpublisheddate));
				//OUTPUT DATA
				$out.= "<div class='row'>";
				$out.= "<div class='col'>";
				$out.= "<h3><a href='{$post->post_name}'>{$mtitle}</a> <span class='h5 text-secondary'>: Status Date of {$mpublisheddate} | </span></h3>";
				$out.= "</div>";
				$out.= "</div>";
			endforeach;
		}
	return $out;
}
wp_reset_postdata();
}

…But! How can I output the product owner name (larry, sally, or bob) in this get_posts loop, for each post that is loaded? I have a feeling I may need to create a second get_posts() loop, but don’t know what that looks like from this point forward. Any help would be awesome!
