Hello there from literally I don’t know where. **actually hold up let me check… Ok I lied. I am here. In Greenland writing this to you on Thursday morning? Afternoon? Is it Friday? Or Thursday still?? I have no idea. But according to the screen I am/was 6 hours away from landing in San Francisco […]

The process I use to turn my real life into content that sells

Hey there, I sat at a stoplight in my car last week post 1st week of relentless solo parenting school drop offs letting the wave of the overwhelm engulf me. Letting the thoughts of that overwhelm hijack my brain. It was only a few seconds but it was enough of a hijack that I had […]

Building a company between bathroom emergencies

Hi there, When I worked at the TODAY show, the editors were some of the highest paid people on staff. Why? Because they were real-life magicians and we all knew without them, our stories wouldn’t exist. Sometimes you’d come back to 30 Rock a bit sheepish saying, “I TRIED but this is all I could […]

I spent a week in a hole editing video with AI. It broke me, then it didn’t.

Hi there, Writing this from a dock in Wisconsin. Short one, I promise. (well it’s short for me🫠) Two things are getting lumped together right now in the AI world, and they’re not the same. If your eyes are already glazing on this line you might want to skip this week’s newsletter! ​Anthropic announced this week that […]

They’re going to grade your writing like a New York restaurant

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 […]

9 strangers in a Chicago bar, 4 hours later…

Hey there,​It’s been one full week since we touched down in Chicago from Lisbon and the Midwest Ranch & Flavored Beverage Bonanza is officially underway. We are so deprived in Europe. Feeling like a *slight stranger in your literal backyard is an odd feeling. Added to this is that I lived in NYC for the […]

One week back in America and I have thoughts

Hi there,​So my oldest is 12 (nearly 13 in three months.) He’s the only kid in his friend group (almost his grade) without a phone. We’re the designated hang house (master plan going great over here thanks for asking💅) but I’m also the “can’t be on your phones” house. A few weekends ago collecting all the devices before they went […]

My almost 13-year-old doesn’t want a phone. And I think he’s onto something.

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. […]

I couldn’t package this one prettier

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 […]

My mom rallied 9 people across 2 countries. The VC world told me I’m not serious enough.

Hey there, I’m not one for getting in on the Instagram comment train lest I end up upset, nervous system popping, dropping F bombs all before the hour of 7AM. (have gone through a few Olympian medal stages of that in full disclosure.) But today I was not to be played with. All of a sudden I […]

Women are eating each other alive in AI right now
