Sometimes the work no one else wants becomes the work that sets you apart.
In this episode, we sit down with Anu Muralidharan, COO at Expensify and board member, for a candid conversation on rising through the ranks by solving overlooked problems and building confidence through momentum—not perfection. Anu shares the unconventional path that led her from undefined roles to IPO leadership, and the mindset shifts that helped her battle imposter syndrome and show up with clarity.
We explore the power of generalists, the myth of instant confidence, and how her personal “Castanza Experiment” (yes, *that* Seinfeld reference) changed how she makes decisions. Anu’s approach to leadership is refreshingly honest—and a reminder that building your career isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about being bold enough to try something different.
If you're in a season of self-doubt, transition, or just need permission to do things your own way, this episode will leave you feeling grounded and ready to move forward.
