"AI won't take your job—but someone using AI will."

You've heard it. And if you're like most people, it lands somewhere between motivating, mildly annoying, and terrifying.

Here's what no one's telling you: women are 25% less likely to be using AI than men—even in the same professions. While you're stuck in decision paralysis or writing off a tool that gave you generic outputs once, your peers are quietly building a competitive advantage that compounds.

The problem isn't the technology. It's how you've been taught to use it.

In this episode, I break down the reframe that changed everything for me: stop treating AI like a vending machine and start treating it as a thinking partner. You'll learn why "garbage in, garbage out" is killing your AI results (and the one phrase that fixes it), three entry points for using AI effectively—even if you've never had a good experience—and how the skills that make you effective with AI are the same skills that make you a strong leader.
