Miranda Kalinowski's 30-year journey from HR generalist in Australia to Head of Global Recruiting at Stripe reveals what it takes to lead talent through transformational growth. She scaled Facebook from 6,000 to over 84,000 employees while learning that your internal culture is your external brand.

You'll hear why she chose recruiting from day one and the advice that changed her leadership approach—"lead with heart and minds will follow."

She also opens up about the builder mode energy she found at Stripe, her philosophy on investing in the recruiting profession rather than just hiring from it, and the systems that keep her productive—from dictation while walking to AI transcription tools that save thousands of hours.

This is an authentic conversation about scaling with quality, leading through the heart, and finding the right next chapter after reaching the top.
