Women of Web3 Podcast - Web3, AI, blockchain and metaverse career conversations with women in tech Lauren Ingram

Ashley Gross created her AI-focused business in just 10 days and has a ton of learnings to share with us - in her last role, she rolled out AI tools to over 100 marketers and has taken that experience to grow her own business instead: The Prompt Community.

A former community manager for MyBFF, Ashley lives and breathes AI, Web3 and emerging tech and puts inclusion at the centre of what she’s building - as well as adding a more human touch to the usual AI content shared online, with 1970s graphics and fun ideas to try out. 

Ashley shares lots of advice on how to make use of AI, especially useful if you’re a marketer. (And if you’re quick - come join our live Q&A about Easy AI Wins for Marketing:

Lindsey McInerney counts Hollywood actress Mila Kunis as her cofounder, and she’s seen the highs and lows of the Web3 hype cycle over the last few years. 

Lindsey started her career working in social media back in 2009, working her way up to Global Head of Technology & Innovation at beer company AB InBev where she led an NFT project for Stella Artois generating a million dollars in sales in a week - and she was subsequently named in the 30 Most Influential People in the Metaverse.

She has now been CEO of Sixth Wall for nearly 3 years alongside Mila Kunis and she has been advising companies on blockchain, Web3 and the next internet under her consultancy Black Sun Labs.

Lindsey was one of the first ever guests on the Women of Web3 Podcast in May 2022, and has returned to dissect where the internet has been in the last two years.

Claire Barnett is the former Executive Director of UN Women UK and now the CEO of YourHaven, a wellness platform that offers AI generated therapy sessions based on the voices and work of real therapists, delivered by headsets like the Meta Quest and Apple Vision Pro.

Having run a wellness studio in her spare time alongside her demanding roles, Claire is one of the very few leaders at the intersection of mental health, systemic change, and VR - and so she was delighted when asked to join YourHaven as cofounder and CEO.

We discuss Claire’s career from helping with microfinance in Brazil, through to her work at the bleeding edge of tech, covering the hard truths about gender equality along the way.
