the aI gender gap

Mari welcomes Aila Frishman - AI coach and founder of Cailence - to expose the boat that's already left the harbor: women entrepreneurs are 25% slower to adopt AI than men. Aila breaks down why women hesitate (the "is this cheating?" narrative, sustainability concerns, and who has time for bro YouTube videos?), what's at stake if we don't catch up (falling behind at work, losing to competitors, AI systems missing women's input), and the paradigm shift: AI doesn't add to your plate, it gives you time back. They discuss quick wins like planning Italy trips in minutes, opening your fridge and asking what to make for dinner, getting to inbox zero, and why it's not too late - just pick ONE tool and talk to it like your girlfriend.
