Founder@50 Leslie Fine: From Academic to Executive Coach

In this episode of the Founder@50 Podcast, our Managing Partner Leslie Fine joins host and Enjoy The Work startup founder Jeremy Toeman for an honest and wide-ranging conversation. Leslie brings her background as a behavioral scientist and product leader—formerly Chief Scientist at Crowdcast and VP of Products at Salesforce—to share how behavioral economics has shaped her approach to product development, team building, and coaching.

Together, they unpack the value of user psychology in tech, lessons from building empathetic B2B products, and how founding later in life brought fresh perspective. Leslie also reflects on the frameworks we use at Enjoy The Work to help founders make better decisions, lead with clarity, and move fast by slowing down when it matters most.
