Where the standard is tightening, in public.

Since 2017, I have had over 2,400 conversations with women in business about money, power, and what technology actually owes us. These essays are where I work that thinking through in real time. Check Your Default Settings is where that thinking landed clearest.

Some are rough. Some have held up better than I expected. I have left them as they were written because watching the standards tighten in public is the point, not a side effect.

Money, sex and gender, and politics have never operated independently of each other in any woman's career, and 2,400+ interviews make that case in cumulative detail. The same thread runs through the Money, Sex & Politics podcast and throughout everything we are building inside Leading Ladies LLM.

Building the Future with #Tequity, Heart, and Bots

Remember when email felt like a fad? Or when the first internet you met (Web 1.0) was only for tech bros or Uncle (Scary) Larry?
We are in a moment, my friends. A big one. AI is now. Check out why tech without empathy and consent is just more noise, and how Business 4 Good is building the first woman-forward AI chatbot from the ground up.

At Business 4 Good, I have been building the first-ever woman-forward AI chatbot, powered by real stories, voice notes, essays, and hard-earned wisdom from women who lead across differences. The new algorithm is us. And note, I've been interviewing women in business globally since 2017!

Training the Bots to Be Better

The internet as we know it is not broken. It just wasn't built for everyone. AI is being built right now. If we do not actively shape its foundation with inclusion and ethics in mind, we risk a future where the digital patriarchy goes viral. No, thanks. If we are not in the room, the bias we have spent decades fighting gets an algorithm and a scale. Rose Kaz on why she built Business 4 Good, why the BIPOC funding gap is an AI problem, and what #Tequity does about it.

The Role of AI in Leadership

Knowing your way around algorithms is necessary and not sufficient. AI amplifies what is already there. Which means it also amplifies the bias, the broken systems, and the outdated defaults. So who is in the room when it gets built matters.

What Is More Offensive: F-Bombs or Genocide?

I've gotten the feedback that I "sure do curse a lot." That I "make great points but do I need to drop the f-bomb so much?" And my very favorite: "You are so pretty. Ladies like you do not swear!" Being the salacious sinner that I am, I thought: Well, f*ck. Let's talk about what actually deserves our outrage.
