Hosted by Sophia, an entrepreneur and educator whose programs have been featured in Harvard Business Review and delivered at Oxford University, London Business School, and Chicago Booth. Her work is trusted by the government of Bahrain, Constellation Brands, and the Royal Bank of Canada, and her flagship approach—Tech for Non-Technical Founders—has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs and executives move from concept to scalable product.

You'll learn how to:

-Validate demand and shape a winning product brief
-Budget, timeline, and de-risk builds you'll actually ship
-Hire, brief, and manage developers and vendors with confidence
-Use AI to speed research, prototyping, and growth
-Launch, iterate, and measure ROI—without the buzzwords
