In this episode, I’m joined by Jackie Peters, startup founder and longtime tech innovator, for a powerful conversation on how to lead boldly, build something meaningful, and move forward—even when you don’t feel 100% ready.
With 25+ years of experience across mobile gaming, AI-powered healthcare, and privacy-preserving data analytics, Jackie brings a rare mix of visionary thinking, human-centered leadership, and strategic clarity. We talk about building confidence in uncharted territory, trusting your instincts, and turning complex ideas into user-first innovation.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why you don’t need credentials to lead powerfully
- How to turn big vision into practical progress
- What it means to lead with empathy and clarity
- Why “privacy by design” matters now more than ever
- How to build momentum when the roadmap is uncertain
- The founder mindset: from grit to growth
- Why leadership starts before you feel ready
✨ This episode is for the bold, the curious, and the women shaping the future of tech on their own terms.
