    Would AI Find Your Business? Here's the Test

    Episode 300 feels like the right time to talk about something every CEO and business owner needs to be paying attention to right now. The way people find you is changing. Someone can open Claude, ChatGPT or another AI platform and ask who leads your industry, who they should hire, or what they need to know before making a decision. They get an answer in seconds. The question is, are you part of that answer? In this episode, I’m talking about what owned media really means in 2026, why the right content keeps building value long after you publish it, and why AI is making your original ideas and expertise even more important. And really, it comes down to one question: If someone went looking today for the thing your company does best, would they find you?

    How Do You Build a Skincare Business That Lasts 20 Years? with Rachel Lee Lozina

    On She Built It®, Rachel Lee Lozina, founder of Blue Water Spa, licensed esthetician with 23 years of experience, and owner of two locations in New York, shares the skincare truth that most people never hear: the facials that actually change your skin, the ingredients that are marketing ploys, and why slow and consistent beats aggressive and trendy every single time. This conversation goes well beyond skincare. Rachel gets candid about what it actually took to open a second location an hour and a half from home, the cold calling, the free facials, the rejection, and the loneliness of being the new kid on the block after 18 years of established credibility. She also shares the pay structure mistake that kills most beauty businesses, why she stopped worrying about being liked by her team after 40, and how she uses AI to analyze her business metrics in ways she never could before. This is for anyone who’s ever wondered what it really costs to grow a service business from one location to two.

    How Ollie AI Is Using AI to Solve the Mental Load

    On She Built It®, Christy Shannon, co-founder, CMO, and mother of four, opens with a stat that should stop every busy parent in their tracks: 41% of parents say that most days they are so stressed they cannot function. That’s not a personal failing; that’s a U.S. Surgeon General warning.  Christy asks a question that’s harder to answer than it sounds: if you use AI every day to make your work life easier, why hasn’t anyone brought that same logic home? She built Ollie AI to do exactly that: a Family AI that lives in your text messages, connects to your email, calendar, and WhatsApp, and sends a shared morning rundown to you and your partner so neither of you has to hold the entire schedule in your head. She also gets honest about what it actually feels like to build something completely new in a rapidly changing space: the pivots that feel like failure but aren’t, the discomfort of self-promotion, and the truth most founders still won’t say out loud: great products don’t just rise on their own.

    Reimagining Egg Freezing and Donation: Lauren Makler on Building Cofertility

    On She Built It®, Lauren Makler, co-founder of Cofertility, shares how a rare disease diagnosis, three surgeries, and her sister’s act of extraordinary generosity led her to build something the fertility world desperately needed. Cofertility helps women freeze their eggs for free when they donate eggs to intended parents, making egg freezing more accessible and egg donation less transactional at the same time. Lauren talks about falling in love with the problem instead of the solution, how Cofertility used a vibe coding hackathon to transform how their team uses Claude, navigating fertility as a deeply personal and increasingly politicized topic, and the higher highs and lower lows of founding her own company after nearly a decade inside Uber. This conversation is for anyone who has navigated a winding road to parenthood, anyone building in a space that matters deeply, and anyone trying to figure out how to make a company feel sustainable for the long game.

    She Watched Patients Struggle With Flossing for Years. Then She Built the Fix.

    On She Built It®, Brynn MacLennan, product designer, mother of five, and co-founder of Slate, shares how co-managing a dental practice revealed something that couldn’t be unseen: even wealthy, educated patients weren’t flossing. Not because they didn’t care about their health, but because flossing was broken. Brynn shares how she turned that insight into a patented 3-in-1 electric flosser now sold in 870 Target stores, what it took to hit $1M in year one, and the marketing strategies that actually moved the needle, including why dental professional influencers outperform lifestyle influencers for Slate every time. She also talks about the leadership evolution of letting go, the books that changed how she builds her team, and why she thinks founders need to talk more openly about failure. This conversation is for any founder who started with a problem no one else thought was big enough, and turned out to be right.

    The Fashion Brand Built on Comfort, Community, and a Very Clear Point of View

    On She Built It®, Lauren Dudley Stephens, co-founder and CEO of Dudley Stephens, shares the origin story behind one of the most beloved family-owned fashion brands in the lifestyle space. What started as her mother's frustration with finding stylish, washable fleece that could go from boat to dinner became a 10-year brand built entirely on family funding, community, and the belief that women should never have to choose between looking chic and feeling comfortable. Lauren talks about how she grew Dudley Stephens through the early days of Instagram influencer culture, how AI is changing what's possible for small fashion brands, why going viral doesn't always translate to sales, and what leading a team for the first time really taught her about herself. This conversation is warm, honest, and full of the kind of real talk you only get from a founder who is still in it, every single day.  Connect with us: Dudley Stephens Website Dudley Stephens LinkedIn Dudley Stephens Instagram Lauren Dudley Stephens LinkedIn Lauren Dudley Stephens Instagram Two Sisters in Business Podcast Confessions of a Type B Founder Substack Work with She Built It® Media  She Built It® Instagram  She Built It® CEO, Melanie Barr Instagram Melanie Barr LinkedIn She Built It® LinkedIn

She’s candid about the hardest parts of building, including the moment you realize a team member who helped you get here may not be the right person to get you to the next stage, and honest about what keeps her grounded through the pressure of a very big mission.

    Aviva Founder Amy Briggs on AI, Parenting, and Solving the Mental Load

    On She Built It®, Amy Briggs, a pediatric speech and language pathologist turned tech founder, shares how a clinical career spent supporting families revealed an invisible problem: the mental load of modern parenthood. That insight became Aviva, an AI-powered app that takes over family scheduling logistics so parents can put the phone down and actually be present. Amy walks through why she chose scheduling as her starting vertical, how she built a tool people trusted enough to hand over their inboxes and calendars, the bootstrapped and disciplined way she's grown Aviva through word of mouth, and how she protects her own presence and joy while building a company from scratch. This conversation is for any founder building from lived experience, and for any parent who has ever felt like the only person holding the family calendar together.
