Wednesday, October 28, 2026 · 12:00–1:30pm ET · Brain week

Yrmis Barroeta, innovation keynote speaker and creator of CLICK into Wild Innovation
Confirmed guest

Yrmis Barroeta

Wednesday, November 4, 2026 · 12:00–1:30pm ET · Back office week

SessionMore You, Not New You: Leading Through AI Change Without the Overwhelm

Yrmis Barroeta is a keynote speaker, four-time founder, and economist who learned to read patterns in the wild — on a nature reserve in Venezuela, counting 33,000 capybaras before she ever read a boardroom. She's built companies across conservation, fashion, food, and wellness, created and taught the Business & Entrepreneurship curriculum at Parsons School of Design as its five-time Teacher of the Year, spoken at TEDx San Francisco, and writes 1•1•1 Signals, a newsletter reaching 250,000+ executives and builders navigating the age of AI. Her message runs against the grain of a market selling tools, prompts, and reinvention: you don't survive change by becoming someone new — you survive it by becoming more fully who you already are. Through her CLICK framework, she hands teams back the instincts they already own, so adopting AI stops feeling like a threat and starts feeling like something they lead. More you, not new.

A Stanford-trained psychologist and founder of Your Bestselling Book and The Story Cure, she coaches high achievers to get their stories out of their heads and onto the page. She'll show you how to put your voice in writing so your AI stops guessing and starts sounding like you — no AI slop.

Morgan Hewett

Wednesday, December 2, 2026 · 12:00–1:30pm ET · Week IV · Shed

SessionPleasure Is Healthcare: Building Tech That Centers Women

Morgan Hewett is the founder and CEO of Devin, the AI-powered pleasure companion built unapologetically for women — an immersive experience from an all-female founding team, born at Harvard Business School, that sold out 1,000 devices in under five months. She sold her first company before 30, but her real story is the rebuild: after surviving domestic violence and mental health crises, she fought for her own future — then built the company she wished existed. The original Business Barbie, she'll show you what it looks like to build technology that centers women's bodies, pleasure, and power.

House rules

  1. Live means live. Show up and be in it—if you can’t make it live, you missed out. There are no replays for attendees.
  2. Every call is recorded, but the recording is for our marketing materials only. It will not be shared or distributed anywhere else.
  3. Guests get the exception. Want to keep the recording of your own call and use it however you like? Completely fine—just ask.

How it worksone growing cycle.

Four Wednesdays grow one business system from its roots to the point where it can run. Guests make one part of that cycle concrete by showing something they already use.

Week I

Roots

Context. Teach the machine who you are, what you sell and what good looks like.

Week II

Buds

Your first agent. Give one bounded job to something that can do it with you.

Week III

Bloom

The brain. Turn what the business knows into a reusable, testable skill.

Week IV

Fruit

The back office. Connect the jobs so work keeps moving while you are not looking.

Built it?bring it to the room.

We invite women who are building real things with AI to join a twenty-minute conversation inside our Wednesday room. Tell us about you, what makes you hot, and show us how you use AI to work less and earn more.
