She Used a Claude Skill to Land This Episode: 3 Ways Women Are Building Their Own Rooms (with Janay Trevillion)

What if the way you found your next big opportunity was by building the tool that found it for you?

That's exactly how this episode came to be. Janay Trevillion — AI educator, travel curator, and founder of Empire Creator Lab — didn't just Google her way onto the AI Queens podcast. She built a Claude skill to find the exact podcasts she wanted to guest on… and AI Queens came back ranked #1. That's not a fluke. That's the whole point of this conversation.

In this episode, Erika and Janay get into what it really means for women — and every underrepresented creator — to stop waiting for a seat at the table and start building their own rooms. Not someday. Now. Because AI is moving so fast that the people who aren't in the room at the start of each new wave risk getting erased from it.

Here are the 3 ways we talk about women building their own rooms:

Build with AI, don't just chat with it. Janay's mission is getting entrepreneurs out of idea-mode and imposter syndrome and into finishing. Do it scared. Ship the thing. Version two is where you improve it, but only if version one actually exists.

Train AI on your voice, before it gets flattened. "If you don't train AI on your voice, it's gonna flatten it." Your perspective, your lived experience, your secret sauce — that's what keeps your work from turning into AI slop. Context and boundaries are everything.

Build the room itself -- don't wait for the invite. Janay created Empire Creator Lab as a space for women, Black and Brown, and queer entrepreneurs to grow with AI. You don't need permission to lead the conversation. You need to start it.

Plus: why prompting is the #1 skill every beginner should learn first, the reskilling reality reshaping the job market, and how to use AI to amplify your human genius instead of replacing it.

If you've been sitting on an idea, waiting until you feel "ready" this is your sign.
