In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we speak with Bryan Power, Head of People at Nextdoor, about leading through transformation, building a “founder’s mentality” culture, and why HR must take the lead on AI adoption.

Bryan shares lessons from scaling Google, Square, and Yahoo before joining Nextdoor, where he helped navigate an IPO, COVID, and now AI disruption. He introduces Project NAI-BOR (Nextdoor Artificial Intelligence Building Operational Readiness), explains how to unleash safe experimentation, and why HR can’t afford to be a passenger in the AI shift.

The conversation also covers mental health, hybrid work, and the next frontier of employee experience.

🎓 In this episode, Bryan discusses:

Mental health as today’s workplace injury
How to manage the uncomfortable truths of hybrid work
How Project NAI-BOR helps HR lead AI adoption at scale
Why a founder’s mentality creates urgency and frontline focus
Balancing experimentation with structure in AI policy and rollout
