What if everything you’ve built—your ideas, your leadership, your voice—didn’t just disappear once the moment passed?

In this episode of Smart Women Talk, host Katana Abbott sits down with Kristin Thomas, founder of Marble Collective, an innovative AI-powered platform designed to preserve, connect, and amplify the work of women leaders.

After two decades in luxury real estate, Kristin saw firsthand how even the most accomplished women struggle to stay visible in a world that demands constant self-promotion. Her solution? A centralized platform that captures the full body of a woman’s work—podcasts, interviews, articles, and more—making it easy to discover, follow, and learn from inspiring leaders across industries.

Together, they explore:

• Why women’s leadership is often overlooked or lost over time
• The hidden cost of constant self-promotion
• How mentorship can be scaled to reach thousands—not just a select few
• The role of AI in reshaping visibility, influence, and access
• Why connection—not competition—is the key to advancing women

If you’ve ever struggled to stay visible, find mentors, or cut through the noise, this conversation will completely shift how you think about leadership and learning.
