This podcast is about amazing people, their perspectives on our ever-changing world, and more specifically how we adapt to these changes as leaders. My name is Jesse Freese and this podcast is about Becoming Better with StartupExperts.
In this episode of Becoming Better with StartupExperts, Jesse sits down with Heather Dunn, Chief People Officer at Brex and one of our 25 Leaders to Follow in 2025.
Heather shares her journey from starting in HR at just sixteen to leading people strategy at some of the most innovative companies in tech. She opens up about the lessons learned along the way — from navigating cultural misalignment to redefining what balance and fulfillment look like in leadership.
Together, Jesse and Heather explore how slowing down, listening to your instincts, and staying true to your values can transform both how you lead and how you live. Heather also gives us a glimpse into Brex’s bold new talent philosophy, “Be the founder of your career,” and how it’s reshaping the future of work.
Tune in for a thoughtful, honest conversation on growth, self-awareness, and what it really means to become better.
