The MPL Academy.

The next step in our mission.

It all started with the podcast.


Why are we launching MPL Academy? It started with the podcast—big conversations with top HR leaders, and a vision to help 100,000 professionals turn insight into action.

But we knew there was more we could do.

The podcast gives you high-level insights—big ideas from experts that can change the way you think about work.

But what about the next step?

What about a place where we go super deep—where we break those insights down into tactical, actionable strategies?

That’s where MPL Academy comes in.

We’re teaming up with the experts on the topics that matter most to becoming a modern people leader.

Introducing MPL Build.


Our first expert is Jessica Zwaan.

Before people leaders can tackle the hardest challenges in HR, we believe they need to learn how to operate in a brand-new way—by adopting a product mindset and running their people team like a product team.

With Jessica, we’re launching the first MPL Academy “school” or “major” (if you will).

What is MPL Build?


MPL Build is the "school" for learning how to run your people team like a product team.

For the DIY’ers – Subscribe to the “Build Newsletter” for $8/month and get access to guides, templates, and case studies to start applying the product mindset today.

For those who want to learn directly from Jessica – We’ll be opening a cohort later this year for a limited number of people. Sign up for the waitlist below (keep scrolling).
