AI Events for Women Entrepreneurs This Fall: Where to Learn, Build, and Meet Erika
AI Queens: Smart AF AI Tools, Automation, & Business Tips with Erika StanleyShow Notes
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.
This week I'm coming to you from Austin, Texas with a short episode and a big invitation. I have a busy travel season ahead, and there are four chances this fall to learn with me, online or in person.
What we cover:
Her AI Era Summit (October 12 to 16, free and virtual): More than 35 women who are AI experts are teaching on creative work, marketing, and operations. My session shows you how to find software subscriptions you can cut because you can now build the tool yourself. The VIP upgrade includes my mini blueprint, which normally sells for $99.
She Leads AI CREATE Conference (October 16 to 18, Salt Lake City): This is my second year attending and my first year presenting. I'll also be recording episodes at the AI Queens podcast booth, so come say hi.
Women's Leadership Conference (November 19, Hickory, North Carolina): I'll be at Dr. Lauren Jarrett's speaker's table answering your in-depth AI questions.
The final AI Queens Buildathon of the year: It's free, it's virtual, and we'll build a custom app together that you can use through the holidays. The date is coming soon.
Every one of these events gives you the same thing: time around women who are building with AI. If you can't make any of them, find a group where you can build, chat, and collaborate.

Queens, if you have been telling yourself that Claude Code is for developers and not for you, this one is going to change your mind. Hope Norton spent over 20 years in telecom sales at companies like Verizon and T-Mobile before founding Norton Mobility to help small and mid-sized fleets make smarter technology decisions. 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, if your AI agrees with every idea you bring it, you have a problem.
Queens, what would it take for your business to keep running without you in the room?
Rebecca Liao has been building AI companies since 2014, back when getting a computer to understand plain language was still a struggle. Today she is the co-founder and CEO of Saga AI Labs, which turns well-known characters from games, sports, and consumer brands into AI agents that talk with fans around the clock. Before Saga, she led growth at a SoftBank-backed unicorn and co-founded a crypto company that grew to about $5 billion in annual volume.
If you woke up to headlines saying AI has a 10% chance of ending humanity, take a breath. This episode breaks down what actually happened: a high-profile resignation, a CEO calling for the industry to slow down, and the major labs agreeing that guardrails need to happen at a global level, not company by company.
