024 | Developing a business playbook as a new parent and founder, while disrupting the higher education sector with Heather Payne | PT3

PT 3: In our third and final episode, we talk about what she wishes someone would have told her as a founder starting a family, developing her own playbook throughout the process, the need for universal childcare and disrupting the higher education sector.

Heather Payne is a parent and the CEO of Juno College, formerly HackerYou. Heather founded Ladies Learning Code in 2011, since re-branded to Canada Learning Code with offerings for all ages, and has been named one of Canada’s Top 100 Most Powerful Women in the Trendsetters & Trailblazers category, as well as one of the Globe and Mail’s Top 12 Canadian “Innovators at Work”.

THINGS WE TALK ABOUT: 

• What she wishes someone would have told her as a founder before becoming a parent
• Developing her own version of a business playbook for her pregnancy and postpartum period as a founder
• The importance of universal childcare within Canada to make progress on gender equality
• The type of personal development she pursues and how she integrates wellness into her daily routines
• The books she's recently read and how she's investing in herself lately
• Disrupting the higher education sector and creating the university of the future through Juno College

ABOUT MIXING BABIES AND BUSINESS™
I believe parenthood and professional development doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive.

As a social impact movement and community, I'm focused on producing parent-friendly professional development, digital resources and more inclusive and flexible work solutions for primary caregivers.

This podcast is the result of my journey over the past five years bringing my kids into business settings, hosting parent-friendly professional development events and during these times, it's my creative attempt to continue connecting you with industry leaders and guest experts who also happen to be parents.

Mini episodes are released on Tuesday and Friday covering all things entrepreneurship, flexible and remote work with kids.

Thanks for listening and sharing with your network of parents!
