## Resource

Full transcript and all links: ⁠https://dialectic.fm/brie-wolfson⁠ Brie Wolfson (X) is a marketer, writer, storyteller, and curator.

Brie also recently joined AI-programming behemoth Cursor as Head of Employee Experience and wrote about the company’s culture. She has worked with craft-oriented software companies throughout her career, including Stripe—where she helped launch Stripe Press and the company’s planning function, among other things—and Figma, where she worked on Education.

We cover a broad range of Brie’s expertise, including craft, marketing, organizational culture, unlikely career paths, and taste, editing, and writing.
