Rethinking Publishing for Change-Makers with Jesse Finkelstein

In this episode, I talk with Jesse Finkelstein, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of Page Two Books, a publishing firm that’s redefining what it means to bring a book to life. Jesse shares her journey from bilingual camp counselor to publishing executive, and why she and her co-founder built a company that treats authors like CEOs—with a C-suite behind them. 

We dig into what makes Page Two’s hybrid model so compelling for thought leaders and entrepreneurs, why books still matter in a TikTok world, and how Jesse has intentionally shaped both her team and her leadership approach through real collaboration, curiosity, and a deep respect for the human experience.

Jesse also opens up about navigating co-leadership, parenting while scaling a business, and what acceptance has taught her about progress. If you’re thinking about writing a book—or simply want to lead with more humanity—this one’s for you.
