What if you ended the year knowing exactly where to focus next? I’ve been talking with so many leaders and founders lately who feel pulled in ten directions but crave a simple path forward. That’s exactly why I created the Mini Authority Lab Experience. It’s a focused session

“Let go of who you think you’re supposed to be; embrace who you are.” - Brené Brown There is so much power in releasing the expectations we carry and choosing to stand in who we really are. When we lead from that place, everything becomes clearer. Our work. Our vision. Our

AI is starting to rebuild history in ways that feel almost alive. This week on #StraightfromStacey, my AI Twin talk about a new project that uses generative AI to recreate Dutch streets from centuries past. It is an incredible leap for learning and imagination, but it also comes

According to the latest edX analysis, these careers remain the most AI-resistant because they rely on real human judgment, empathy, creativity, and hands-on problem solving: 🧭 Management and executive roles 🩺 Healthcare practitioners and technical specialists 🤝 Community and

These are the roles Forbes highlighted as the first to be disrupted by AI: data entry clerks, admin and scheduling assistants, customer service reps, telemarketers, retail cashiers, call center agents, proofreaders, routine insurance underwriters, bookkeepers, and receptionists.

Some quotes stay with you because they name a truth you already feel in your bones. “Never give up on something that you can’t go a day without thinking about.” — Winston Churchill This one hit home for me this week. Building leadership and AI products are not just projects I

AI is shaping culture, but the part we often forget is how much we shape it first. Every model learns from us. Our choices, our histories, our biases, our brilliance. So when AI shows us something that feels distorted or uncomfortable, it is often holding up a reflection of what

All my over forty friend out there. I just turned #40 yesterday. What advice do you have for me? Give me the good stuff

There are moments that stay with us forever: the way someone said our name, the tone of comfort in a loved one’s voice, the sound of a story that made us feel seen. For me, it was my grandmothers' voices. Their voices carried wisdom, resilience, and warmth. It reminded me who I

There are moments when I’m juggling meetings, deadlines, travel, and motherhood, and that little voice shows up: You work so hard… who are you trying to impress? Then I look at these old photos and remember. I’m doing it for her. The little Stacey who dreamed big, asked endless

“If we want protection, we need to start thinking of our data as our property.”— Brittany Kaiser, Data Rights Activist & Co-Founder of Own Your Data Foundation I couldn’t agree more. I deeply respect the work Brittany is doing and I’m grateful to Kai for introducing us. We talk

As a mom, I think a lot about the kind of classrooms my kids will grow up in. The world is changing fast, and education has to evolve with it. And please note - I am very analog with personal choices around education and screens. So for me, I really think we have to be super

When I read studies like this, showing that AI assistants misrepresent nearly half of news responses, I feel both urgency and responsibility. We’ve entered a time when AI systems are becoming many people’s main source of information. That means the stakes for accuracy,

So much of modern connection happens through screens. We spend so much time curating, editing, and optimizing how we show up online that sometimes it’s hard to tell where the real “us” ends and the algorithm begins. That’s what inspired this week’s Straight from Stacey: Finding

Will AI replace human creativity? There are definitely use cases that appear that way. However, when we look wholistically, maybe we’ve been seeing it from the wrong angle. What if this is not the end of creativity, but the beginning of a new renaissance? When I look at how

“Every technology that amplifies human ability also amplifies human error.” This quote from Roman Yampolskiy has been on my mind this week. It’s a reminder that progress always has two sides - what we empower and what we expose. He is speaking this week at the BGI Summit with

Amazon’s new Lens Live lets you point your phone at anything and instantly find it on Amazon. It’s impressive and undeniably convenient. A glimpse of where the world is heading, where discovery and purchase happen in the same breath. But it also makes me pause. If every object

Every founder has a moment that changes everything. For me, it started when I met a group of visionaries who could see how AI would transform our world — not just through technology, but through how we live, create, and connect. I hadn’t planned to build in AI. But the more we

Will you evolve or freeze as AI accelerates? Every few generations, humanity faces a turning point — one that doesn’t just shift what we do, but who we are. This is one of those moments. Technology isn’t moving in straight lines anymore. It’s leaping. And while our tools evolve

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how easy it is to live inside our own echo chambers - where the people, feeds, and algorithms around us reinforce what we already believe. It feels comfortable. But comfort isn’t clarity. That’s why I’ve started using my AI Twin as a kind
