What does affirmative consent law reform, university sex education, and AI-powered law enforcement tools have in common? They're all part of Stefanie Hammett's ambitious startup, HMS.

HMS (Have More Safety · Have More Sex · Have More Space) is a consent education company with a bold 2036 goal: insert affirmative consent into all 50 state criminal codes. But getting there means building a real business — with a direct-to-consumer product line, a university B2B pilot program, and a law enforcement tech partnership with Clipper AI.

Stefanie breaks down:

• The "drip effect" strategy for getting consent education into university campuses
• Why selling to law enforcement requires showing up 17 times before they trust you
• How she balances a world-changing mission with the mechanics of actually building a startup
• Her advice to founders: presence, biohacking, and trusting your own clarity
• And more!
