Podcast hosted by Jess Podgajny, CEO of LLUNA.

Welcome to FRESH Takes on the future of work where we focus on fresh perspectives, from business and HR leaders about the future of work. FRESH is an acronym: Freedom, Resourcefulness, Empathy, Simplicity and Happiness. These values are core to operating in the future of work and we tie back to these while exploring interesting stories and actionable ideas.

Today's guest is Mikal Harden. Mikal, along with her wife MA, are co-moms to twin boys (Jack and Finn), she is a professional connector, investor, and board member. For the past 11 years Mikal has led as co-founder of Juno Search Partners, a Philadelphia, PA based search and staffing firm. She is also a Partner at Juno Capital focused on investing in Philadelphia based organizations. Last but not least, in her spare time, there’s a good chance you’ll find Mikal perfecting her pickleball technique.
