Listen "Leading with Learning: Emily Ramos on Community, Curiosity, and Giving Back"
Episode Synopsis
Jesse sits down with Emily—recently named one of our “25 Leaders to Follow in ’25” and our VP of Learning & Content—to talk about leading through curiosity, building a culture of learning, and why giving back compounds impact.
In this conversation, Jesse thanks Emily for her outsized contributions to our community and team, spotlighting why she was selected as one of our 25 Leaders to Follow in 2025. Emily reflects on what it means to lead learning-first: creating simple systems that make growth habitual, turning feedback into fuel, and designing content that meets people where they are.
Together they unpack practical ways leaders can nurture engagement—how to scaffold learning so it sticks, invite participation without pressure, and translate insights into everyday behaviors. Emily also shares how service and mentorship shape her approach, and why consistent, small improvements beat big, sporadic initiatives.
