    EP 033. From iMessage to AI Agents | How I Run The Brickell Babes and STACKED With a Three-Person Team, Claude Agents, and a CRM I'm Building in Airtable (AI & Ops, Part 3)

    Welcome back to STACKED, the show about becoming your own best asset. I'm Emily Dempsey, and this is a solo episode, part 3 of my AI and operations series. It has been about a year since I started treating The Brickell Babes like a full-time business, and I get so many questions about how we actually run it, so I'm pulling back the curtain. A year ago, we were running the whole company off of iMessage. My first big hire was an attorney on a 12-month contract, to set us up with agreements for everything from membership to contractors and developers, and that investment forced me to start treating The Brickell Babes like a real business. Then I found an incredible teammate overseas who works with me full-time. Next, we went all in on agentic AI. In January and February of 2026, I spent my weekends with a couple of nerdy friends building Claude agents, training them, auditing them, and automating the recurring tasks nobody enjoys. When the team outgrew personal accounts, we migrated to a company Claude that lives in the cloud. I explain the Chrome MCP, which lets Claude work inside your Chrome browser, and how we use it to audit our social media across every platform and build dashboards. I also share why I kept dragging my feet on a CRM, since so many of them cost hundreds or thousands of dollars a month and lock your data in, and why we're now building our own in Airtable for our community of 70,000 women, our members, and our brand partners. Then I get honest about my biggest struggle right now: competing priorities and switching between tasks across two brands, and the time blocking, two to four hours on one thing, that has helped most.This episode is brought to you by The Brickell Babes, Miami's largest network of ambitious women.

    EP 032. What Creators Actually Get Paid | Vale and Sebastian Genta on Turning 2.8 Million Followers Into Brand Deals, Rate Cards, and NextGen Creators, a Business They Own

    Welcome back to STACKED, the show that helps you become your own best asset. Today's question: how do influencers actually make money, and could you build something online that lasts? Emily sits down with Vale Genta and Sebastian Genta, the brother-sister duo behind a combined 2.8 million followers and the co-founders of NextGen Creators, a Miami workshop and event series that teaches creators how to get paid. Born and raised in Miami Beach to a Peruvian mother and Uruguayan father, they started posting on Vine in high school, back when nobody called it a career, and moved to LA with $10,000 they had saved, only to watch the deposit, a couch, and two beds eat it in two months. They break down a real rate card: price every deliverable separately, charge for paid usage rights, and price exclusivity high, because agreeing not to work with a competitor means turning down the next check. Sebastian, who has worked on the brand side, explains why you should always counter, since a brand will never come back higher than the number you name. Finally, they open the books on NextGen Creators: the LLC they formed together, a first event in March 2025 that broke even, an October event with TikTok Shop that brought in six figures in revenue, the GaryVee panel they knew would lose money and did anyway, and why the venue is always the biggest cost. Their bottom line: influence becomes income when you build something you own. This is educational, not financial advice. Do your own research.

    EP 031. Chanel vs. The Stock Market | Rhonda Singer, Ex-Goldman Sachs Banker on Cash, Prenups & the Money Rules Every Woman Should Have Learned at 25

    Welcome back to STACKED, the show that helps you become your own best asset. Today, Emily sits down with Rhonda Singer, Managing Director at J.P. Morgan Private Bank in Miami, who has spent nearly 30 years in some of Wall Street's most exclusive rooms. A dare from friends led her to an investment banking role at Goldman Sachs, where she spent 8 years before building and leading AllianceBernstein's European sales and trading business for 20 years. After retiring at 50 and going through an unexpected divorce, Rhonda realized that despite a Wharton MBA and decades in finance, she had outsourced her own household finances and didn't know what she was invested in. That experience inspired her mission and the creation of Financially Blonde—a nod to Legally Blonde and proof that you can be a serious investor and still love pink. In this conversation, Rhonda breaks down the money mistakes she sees smart, successful women make, including why cash isn't as safe as it feels when inflation quietly erodes its value. She shares her 50/30/20 budgeting framework, explains the power of compounding, and outlines why keeping 3–6 months of expenses in cash can help you avoid making costly decisions during a crisis.

    EP 030. From Her Kitchen to $173 Million | Erica Groussman on Building TRUBAR With No Advertising, Landing 32,000 Doors, and Choosing the Right Buyer Over the Biggest Check

    Welcome back to STACKED, the show about becoming your own best asset. Today Emily sits down with Erica Groussman, the Founder and CEO of TRUBAR, who started a better-for-you protein bar brand on her own kitchen counter in 2019 and sold it for $173 million in early 2026. Erica Groussman was a busy mom of two who grew frustrated with protein bars that tasted bad or were packed with ingredients she didn't want to eat. After a disappointing experience at Disneyland, she decided to create her own. Working with a food scientist, she developed TRUBAR's original vegan, gluten-free, and soy-free flavors and personally hustled to get them into customers' hands. A cold LinkedIn message to a Whole Foods buyer led to her first 30 stores, proving the power of persistence. From there, TRUBAR scaled to roughly 32,000 retail doors and about $100 million in revenue with virtually no traditional advertising and a lean, primarily female team of around 26 people. In this episode, Erica shares lessons on building a brand that drives repeat purchases, growing efficiently without unnecessary headcount, and making smart decisions around risk, equity, and fundraising. She also discusses TRUBAR's $173 million acquisition by ETi Gida in 2026, why she chose a values-aligned buyer, and why she's still focused on the next stage of growth as CEO.

    029. Why I Finally Took My First Solo Trip Through Italy, Alone

    Welcome back to STACKED, the show about becoming your own best asset. This week I'm going solo to talk about my first ever solo trip: ten days alone in Italy between a friend's wedding in Tuscany and a friend's 40th birthday in Lake Como. I planned the whole thing with Claude, from Florence to a train to Bolzano to a tiny town in the Dolomites called Ortisei. I get into why the Dolomites became the reset I didn't know I needed, the 80-year-old couple I met on a hike who are still traveling the world for his work as a land artist, and why Venice, alone, no partner, no plan, was the part of the trip that scared me the most and the part I'm most proud of. I also stumbled into a wild bit of history: Venice was the birthplace of modern accounting, insurance, and a gold-backed currency called the ducat, centuries before anyone called Bitcoin digital gold.

    028. The Man in the Room Where Crypto Gets Regulated | Ron Hammond on How Washington Actually Decides the Future of Your Money

    Welcome back to STACKED, the show about becoming your own best asset. Today Emily sits down with Ron Hammond, Head of Policy and Advocacy at Wintermute, a global trading firm. Ron has spent nearly a decade inside the rooms where crypto's rules actually get written — as a congressional staffer who helped craft the first bipartisan crypto bill in history, as Ripple's in-house lobbyist, and as Senior Director of Government Relations at the Blockchain Association. In this conversation, Ron breaks down how Washington actually regulates digital assets: the market-structure bill sitting one procedural vote away from passing or dying for the year, why Bitcoin is treated more like a commodity than a security under the law, and the decade-long turf war between the SEC and CFTC. He also walks through his own path from Capitol Hill to industry advocacy, demystifies what a lobbyist's job actually looks like, and explains what the GENIUS Act's stablecoin rules mean for how money moves. This is the episode for anyone holding Bitcoin who has never had the policy layer explained to them in plain English.

    027. The Anesthesiologist Teaching High Performers to Sleep | Dr. Soshana Clerizier on Sleep as a Hard Asset, the Sleep Divorce Trend & the Science of Being Knocked Out

    Welcome back to STACKED, the show about becoming your own best asset. Today I sat down with Dr. Soshana Clerizier, a board-certified anesthesiologist and Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology at Weill Cornell Medicine. Her actual day job is guiding patients safely into unconsciousness in the operating room — and she's taken everything she knows about how the body lets go and built Knocked Out, a physician-led sleep wellness studio for high performers who have optimized everything except the one thing that won't cooperate: rest. In this conversation, we get into why standard wellness advice fails ambitious women, the physiological reason you're still awake at 2am, and the one sleep habit tied to a 24% lower mortality risk in a 105,000-person study. She also gives me her real physician's verdict on the sleep-divorce trend, whether your sleep tracker could be feeding your insomnia, and what she'd actually steal from Bryan Johnson's famously extreme sleep routine. This is the episode for anyone who has optimized their training, their nutrition, their calendar, and their money — and still can't get a good night's sleep.

    026. Why Bitcoin Is Digital Gold, Explained With a Hermès Bag

    Welcome back to STACKED, the show about becoming your own best asset. This week I'm going solo to unpack why Bitcoin is digital gold, and why none of the other cryptocurrencies matter the same way. I use a $10,000 Hermès Mini Kelly, borrowed from a friend, to explain what actually makes something a hard asset: scarcity, durability, and a supply nobody can change. I also break down the real difference between the three ways to own Bitcoin right now, on an exchange, through an ETF, or on a cold wallet, using that same Hermès bag to explain the risk you're taking when you don't actually hold the asset yourself. This is the episode for anyone who's ever said "digital gold" without being totally sure why, or wondered if the Bitcoin they own is actually theirs.
