Some topics that Sarah presses V on are: the big beautiful bill's relationship to AI, AI's relationship with climate change and energy demand, AI's affect on critical thinking, AI's ability to help minorities and often oppressed groups, AI's ability to help those with neurodivergence and much more.

We've all gotten advice before in our lives. Some good advice, some bad advice, some advice that feels like it really doesn't fit. I've come to realize that a majority of the time I am seeking advice from sources like my dad, my male engineering co-workers, or "successful male thought leaders" (whatever that means), and sometimes I feel like the advice just misses the mark. For example: I majored in engineering in college and all of my male classmates, my dad, brothers, professors were all telling me how easy it would be to get a job because I am a women.... yet that wasn't the case. I was so discouraged that I did something wrong, that I didn't come across as a strong candidate or even worse I was a terrible interviewee. Never for a second did I take into consideration the fact that all of these MEN said it would be easy, should I have asked a woman I would have likely gotten a more applicable answer. This is a podcast for people to hear the stories of women, learn from their successes and mistakes, and even find mentorship!
