Work Made Human Podcast: Michelle Duval of Marlee
On this episode of Work Made Human, host Nichole and Jill sits down with Michelle Duval, founder and CEO of the AI coaching platform Marley. Michelle shares how her near-fatal autoimmune brain disease became the catalyst for her life’s mission: to democratize human potential and make deep self-understanding accessible to everyone.
Michelle breaks down the core idea behind Marley—that AI, when built with intention, can act as a mirror that helps people understand themselves more deeply, not replace them. She explains why coaching should be the “operating system” of the modern workplace, unlocking the ideas, meaning, and creativity already inside every individual.
