​This live recorded podcast episode brings together women who are building, questioning, and rerouting 'AI standards' across ethics, hardware, enterprise, and software.

We talk about what gets lost when tech isn’t built with diverse voices in the room, why “neutral” AI is a myth, and how we start rewriting the defaults—before they get too locked in.

​If you’re interested in the future of AI, the politics of training data, or just want to hear smart women say smart things about systems that affect us all, this one’s for you.

​

She leads Business 4 Good, where femme-forward founders come to launch and sustainably grow businesses that aren’t just functional—they’re intentional. Her work bridges no-code tools, AI ethics, and calling out systems that were never built for us in the first place.

It's late stage capitalism.

It's giving dumpster fire.

And we're here to talk about everything they tell us not to:

money, sex and politics!

Season 3 is coming in hot with your fearless leader, Rose Kaz And when we say hot, we mean like the planet be warming, taking off layers, and rolling up sleeves!

Rose Kaz is here to help change the world, not just changing it but she's actually, factually building

business 4 good.

🎙️ Money, Sex & Politics
Hosted by Rose Kaz | Business 4 Good powered by LBI Digital

Welcome to Season 3 of Money, Sex & Politics—the podcast where we talk about the systems most people pretend aren’t connected. Hosted by me, Rose Kaz, a systems strategist, serial entrepreneur and founder of Business 4 Good, this show is where we dig into power, policy, and personal agency—with equal parts strategy and side-eye.

Business 4 Good is powered by LBI Digital, the online studio for building women-forward businesses, AI-curious leadership, and workflows that don’t sell your soul to the algorithm...oh and a leading lady economy. #NBD!

This isn’t theory. It’s real talk from people doing the work to rewire what’s been handed to us.

Episode 1 features a LIVE recording from these incredible women as we dig into ALL THREE TOPICS! This is extra special because most episode will focus on just one of these major topics but in this kick of to season 3, we dive into ALL THREE TOPICS. Enjoy!

• Eleanor O’Brien – Founder of Plan V, bringing sex-positive performance to the frontlines of cliteracy, storytelling, and cultural reclamation.

• Gloria Coleman – Systems thinker and founder of Exit Bliss, guiding businesses through operational clarity and transformation that doesn’t just scale—it heals.

• Kelly Janes (KJ) – Tech leader, civic disruptor, and Portland City Council District 3 candidate. She’s building infrastructure that actually serves the people in it.

Come for the insight, stay for the blueprint for building better business and futures!

New season, who dis?

Is it my boyfriend Chat GPT? Did we break up? Should we?

I mean, what the actual tech!?!

In this season of Money, Sex & Politics your host, Rose Kaz, will dig in to deep convos with thought leaders, business activists and industry disruptors who are here to build a better & more inclusive world with #tequity in hand!

Tech + Equity = Tequity

like it? love it?

Let's dish on DEI, shall we? Is it dead? Do you care? We think it's a good idea to keep doing the work, even if we have to 'hide the broccoli'!

Host Rose Kaz asks if 'hiding the broccoli' in order to best present the beneficial parts of doing the work might be an effective tool to heal so that we can collectively see all people as humans.

Meet Sandra Hunter, Kjell van Zoen  & Zhou Fang . All individually bringing the work of inclusive practices into leadership & each of their styles lean into our global and inherent diversity to build equity.

This collective conversation looks closely at why this work is really just our human responsibility if we would like to build a more equal world.

As with all our podcast guests, this group of leaders' work does disrupt industry, particularly late stage capitalism that demands a head down, less conscious approach to being human. Their work touches the realms of money, sex & politics and that's why we are getting into on the MSP Pod!

Sandra, Kjell & Zhou bring an intersectional approach to their teaching and leadership styles to translate this important work world wide. They believe - as does LBI Digital- that a world that has more equity is a world where everyone gets more!

A recent headline proffered by another leader of a varying view point suggests that DEI is not only dead, but racist in it's intentions. We are refuting this and pointing to the ongoing need for this work to be foundational in both personal and business development.

What exactly is Diversity, Equity & Inclusion?

The wildly buzzy terms really just translate into all humans deserve respect and are entitled to the same access to resources so that equity is achieved.

And maybe we do need to 'hide the broccoli' of that mission so that we can continue to pour these foundations into the new builds of our cultures, at work and at home, even if we use other terms or routes to accomplish the equity.

Sandra, Kjell  & Zhou want you to know DEI is NOT dead but is instead asking you to chew on its nutrients.

Let's dig in because Knowledge IS POWER !!

Meet Eleanor O'Brien, a wildly evocative & bold #industrydisruptor who is using her hot mic to spread the message of the great & powerful V!

Eleanor uses her platform of theater to educate and help spread cliteracy world wide. She believes - as does LBI Digital- that a world that has more empowered people with pussies is a world where everyone gets more!

Inspired from a skit she wrote called The Cult of Cunnilingus, Eleanor wrote & directed a group show -Sex We Can! - about living into the sexual future we believe is possible.

The response was great, and Eleanor wrote an entire show around another fan favorite - How to Really, Really? Really! Love a Woman!

As she toured that show for a handful of years she couldn't stop thinking about HOW we get there. This particular show takes place 10 years in the future, after the "Great Awakening", where the world makes a shift to honoring women instead of shaming & separating us.

Much of her professional work to date has lead Eleanor to create Plan V - the global movement to restore the Sacred Pussy to a place of reverence through pussy worship and genuine CLITERACY!

What exactly is Cliteracy ??

Eleanor has a thing or two to share with you, your pussy and those whom you may allow closest to her.

Let's dig in because Knowledge IS POWER !!

Leading the world to become Cliterate as an academically trained actor & rouge director, Eleanor is actively leading people with pussies to build new relationships with our bodies. She empowers us to share that knowledge with those we want to share our bodies with! She is a proud #communityactivist in Portland, Oregon.

Eleanor & her #PDX stage crew are here for the Pussy GLOW up globally.
