AI Queens: Smart AF AI Tools, Automation, & Business Tips with Erika Stanley

Show Notes

64% of teens are using AI. But only half of parents know about it. High school teacher, AI consultant, and mom of three Stacy Kratochvil joins Erika to pull back the curtain on what's actually happening with kids and AI right now, and why the answer isn't to ban it.

This conversation goes deep on digital literacy, confidence, and what it actually looks like to raise kids who use AI well. Whether you're a parent, a teacher, or both, this one is going to hit close to home.

What we cover:

Why banning AI backfires and what to do instead

How kids lose confidence in their own thinking when AI is always one click away

Teaching kids and adults to push back on AI output instead of just accepting it

The language we use around AI at home and why it matters more than we think

The kids are already using it. The question is whether we're having the right conversations with them about how.

She had never coded a thing. Then a former sales engineer sat her down at a Starbucks and told her to open Claude Code and brain dump her idea. One weekend later, she had built Compliance Hub, a tool that is now live on her website and helping trucking companies manage drivers, trucks, and DOT compliance in one place.

Queens, running a business can feel like living on an island. The fastest way I have found to learn AI is to get in a room with other women who are learning, building, and staying curious.
