    🧠 Navigating Conspiracy in the Digital Age: Between Critical Thinking and Certainty

    🚨 Disinformation isn’t new. But today, it’s faster, stickier, and more dangerous than ever. This week, I attended a thought-provoking event in French on conspiracy theories in the digital age, featuring Rudy Reichstadt, founder of Conspiracy Watch, and hosted by Gabrielle Sabourin of Radio-Canada. Students from the Université de l’Ontario Français also joined the conversation, adding a fresh digital perspective. 📸 I’ve shared a few moments from the event below ⬇️ The discussion touched on eve...

    🤖Reflections on AI, Startups & Venture Capital from an Introduction Capital Panel

    🤖 AI is moving fast—and not just in the startups it powers, but in the venture capital firms that fund them. Last week, I attended a fantastic panel hosted by Introduction Capital on The Role of AI in Startups and Venture Capital, moderated by Kathryn Wortsman and featuring insights from Eva Lau, Matt Cohen, and Peter Shi. Here’s what struck me: We’re no longer in the era of “AI as a tool.” We’re in the era of AI as infrastructure. And it’s transforming everything—from how founders bui...

    🧙The Illusion of "Follow Your Bliss"

    🔥 Is “Follow Your Bliss” Really the Best Career Advice? We’ve all heard it: Follow your bliss. It’s a seductive idea. Quit your job, pursue your passion full-time, build a life that doesn’t feel like work. You’ve seen the success stories—artists, creators, tech founders, athletes—who bet on themselves and won. But what about everyone else? 👉 What if your passion doesn’t pay the bills? 👉 What if the opportunity cost is massive—financially, emotionally, professionally? 👉 What if "bl...

    👩‍💼Why I Don't Let My Identity Dictate My Beliefs (And Why That Matters Now More Than Ever)

    👩‍💼 Why I’m Not Running for Office (And Probably Never Will) People sometimes ask me why I don’t run for public office. It’s flattering. But here’s the truth: I have a hard time with the idea that if you buy into one belief, you’re expected to adopt ten more—no questions asked. Party lines, political jerseys, organizational echo chambers—it’s all the same pattern: pick a side, stick to the script. But real leadership doesn’t live in binaries. And innovation? It thrives on friction, not agr...

    🔄 From Burnout to Alignment: The New Path to Sustainable Success

    💥 Burnout isn’t a failure of willpower—it’s a signal. After two decades in finance, tech, and venture capital, I’ve seen too many high performers quietly struggle with disconnection, overstimulation, and burnout. We’re praised for pushing through—but rarely encouraged to realign. That’s why I’m thrilled to be a featured speaker at The Roots Of Our Being, a free global summit running April 14–18. 🌀 It’s not your typical wellness event. This is a gathering of 20+ thinkers—shamans, healers...

    🤑Silicon Valley & Washington: A History of Power, Wealth, and Selective Memory

    🧠 Big Tech was built by government—and branded as rebellion. Last week, I had the pleasure of attending a fantastic event at the Munk School’s Innovation Policy Lab: “U.S. Politics and Big Tech Power: Past, Present, and Future.” The conversation (led by Margaret O’Mara and Tom Kemeny) unpacked the long, complicated marriage between Silicon Valley and Washington—a relationship built on mutual benefit, selective memory, and increasing tension. We love the myth of the lone genius in a garage. Bu...

    🤝Cooperation in Conflictual Times: Can We Reimagine a Different Way Forward?

    Can Cooperation Outperform Competition? 🤝 We live in a world of increasing division—politically, socially, and economically. But what if there was another way? I recently attended a thought-provoking talk by Bernard Harcourt at the University of Toronto - Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy, exploring an alternative model of governance: cooperatism—a system where collaboration, not competition, drives decision-making. 💡 Key takeaways that stuck with me: 🔹 Cooperatism chall...
