How People Work

Welcome to the How People Work podcast, where we explore the intersection of how humans think and act and how they apply themselves to their work.

Every week, startup co-founders Jordan Peace and Jason Murray discuss topics ranging from human psychology and anthropology to leadership, business trends, people strategy & more.

This podcast is for anyone who strives to be a compassionate and compelling leader and organization builder. If you are a people leader who wants to better understand and serve your people, this podcast is for you.

Jordan Peace (CEO) and Jason Murray (Head of Innovation) are co-founders of Fringe, a lifestyle benefits start-up based out of Richmond, VA. Lifestyle benefits are services that enhance employees’ lives in personal and meaningful ways. These services reduce stress, give time back, spark joy, and impact families.
