Hi there, About that Chicago meetup…. For those not following, I put out an impromptu “if anyone wants to meet, I’ll be here” call since I’m back in the Midwest for a month. WILL ANYONE SHOW UP!?!??! Me, ordering my 3rd seltzer water with lime at the bar solo. Not too much later (phew!), I watched as women trickled […]

Hey there, Somewhere in between scrolling LinkedIn this past week and noting how every founder accredited success to their vibe coded (naturally) AI system that also teaches your entire family Mandarin, I thought to myself….this ain’t it. I was mid-eye-roll, resisting the urge to comment “SYSTEM” like the 1,689 people ahead of me, when my husband walked […]

Hey there,​This was supposed to come on Friday but I’ve been neck deep in YAPPING on social and I forget how utterly TIME CONSUMING spiraling down a black hole of self-criticism is…oh and editing takes WAY long too.​​It’s been a fun week. ​​​Here’s what I’ve learned in one week of getting myself on cam every day […]

Hey there, I got some news recently that was equal parts “F yeah!!” and “F sigh🫠🫠🫠” A potential investor (and My StoryPro user… there’s a trend here I’m realizing) told me she wants to give me money. *that would be the F yeah part. Then she told me why she can’t. Yet. “When I google My StoryPro the first […]

Hey there, The message came through WhatsApp. “Patrice, I’m hosting an event with Anthropic and a private dinner. Come!” My stomach dropped. I looked up flights immediately, and put them in the cart. Cursed the price OUTLOUD. Hovered over BUY. And couldn’t click on it. Let me back up really quick. The quick context if […]

Hi there, Last Thursday I went to dinner in Lisbon with a bunch of strangers that I am connected to through Justin Welsh’s substack community. If you don’t know Justin, he built a massive LinkedIn following on consistent content, then turned it into digital products that are actually worth the money for how to build a profitable, lucrative […]

Hi there, I know I’m late to this party but I just started the book, “10x is easier than 2X” last week. SO many people recommended it to me (devoured it) and then I promptly went down a Dan Sullivan rabbit hole (one of the authors) who has apparently coached more leaders and founders than pretty much anyone on this planet. […]

Hi there, Where did we leave off? Oh right… the “AI Female Backlash.”We’ll get back to that below… But first I need to tell you about my mom’s bucket list, which is not like the others. She flew into Lisbon last week from Chicago (cleaning products from the MotherShip in tow for her equally cleaning obsessed […]

Hi there,​One of my favorite AI writers — Ruben Hassid — dropped a piece this weekend that I can’t stop thinking about. (sorry Vee for my 874 messages, notes, clickup chains this weekend😬) It’s called “You’re just a text file.” The premise: sit with Claude for two hours, answer 100 questions 🫨 🤯 about how you think and […]

HOLA! We are STILL spring breaking over here. In our car Griswold style through the Spanish coastline. Most of us we’re all still speaking to each other. 🎉 ​And we are all getting some history education on our favorite podcast on all things World War II, the history of racism in America, The Congo (I had no […]
