In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, I spoke with Mridula Pore, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Peppy Health. Our conversation centred around how Peppy is supporting employees through underserved areas of health.

Mridula shared the Peppy origin story - how she and her co-founders saw a gap in the market to provide support for common health issues that affect people's ability to thrive at work, like fertility, parenthood, menopause, and more. Peppy partners with employers to provide their workforce access to specialist healthcare professionals to help navigate these challenges.

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, I spoke with Jean Gomes, New York Times bestselling author and CEO of Outside. Our conversation centred around Jean's fascinating new book "Leading in a Non-Linear World: Building Wellbeing, Strategic and Innovation Mindsets for the Future."

Jean shares powerful insights from the latest scientific research on how our mindsets shape our realities. He explains that our mindsets are comprised of the frames we hold, the assumptions we make, and how we feel physically and emotionally in any given situation. Our mindsets act as a broker between our inner and outer worlds, mediating how we make sense of ourselves and navigate uncertainty.
