In this episode reshaping how we think about AI, Joan Nguyen and Sarah Willersdorf take over the podcast to talk about what's possible right now. Joan Nguyen is the co-founder and CEO of Bümo, the first AI family assistant to help parents instantly book care and handle the logistics of family life. Sarah Willersdorf is the former Head of Luxury, Fashion & Beauty at Boston Consulting Group, and a former CMO who now advises boards and CEOs on where AI actually drives value. They explore how execution is being democratized, why women are positioned to win in this shift, and what fundamentally can't be automated. They discuss how they're building in their lives every day, and why this moment is real—and closing.
Key highlights:
- How they actually use AI in their lives every day—from household admin to building companies
- Why women have a unique competitive advantage right now: communication, judgment, strategy
- What builders are genuinely creating in this moment when execution costs have dropped
- What AI can't replace: human judgment, conviction, and deciding what's worth building
- The real opportunities and what's at stake in this moment
Ready to start building with AI?
If you're ready to start building with AI and want to know where to actually start, or what you should pay attention to—Joan and Moj created AI Maxxing, a 6-week mentorship program for founders, operators, and executives. The 1st cohort begins August 20.
