Three Badass Leaders Putting AI to Work

Three badass leaders putting AI to work, and none of them are doing it the way you'd expect.

In this episode I sit down with Nicole Collins, Pooja Agrawal, and Monika Philip to talk about how women are actually using AI to advance their careers, not in theory, but in their real workdays. We get into building an AI board of directors, why one of my guests named her AI executive assistant Claire and gets a report from her every morning, and how curiosity beats expertise when the technology keeps shifting under your feet.

We also talk about the harder stuff. How a tornado became the starting point for a business. Why authenticity is the actual advantage in tech leadership. What it looks like to use AI to get your brain space back instead of just adding another tool to the pile.

You'll walk away with specific things to try this week, and a much clearer sense of what's possible for you.
