Media
Events, essays, episodes, and clips on executive voice, visibility, and building a personal brand that holds up.
Webinars, live teardowns, and small rooms where this work gets talked through in person.
Everyone is using AI now, and most of it sounds like nobody at all. Cat Valverde and Supriya Gupta run a live session on the three things that make a voice recognizable, and why "just start posting" fails even for people with plenty to say. Submit a LinkedIn post beforehand and watch the room guess which ones an AI detector flags.
Real profiles pulled apart in public: positioning, proof, and the gap between what you do and what your profile says you do.
A small table of founders and operators on visibility, credibility, and the content programs that actually held up.
A hands-on hour building a voice model from scratch, then running one rough idea all the way to a finished draft.
What we have already run, and what came out of each one.

Other people’s shows and stages, where the questions are not ours to pick.
AI has made it easy to build, but it still takes real effort to build and scale the right thing. On how competitive every industry has become, what actually drives durable distribution, and the real markers of a winning company versus hype.
Most people frame AI as a binary: every job disappears, or anyone gets rich overnight. But when anyone can publish at scale, value pools where judgment, taste, and credibility still matter. On what changes for operators and teams as genAI floods creative work.
Every AI founder in 2026 is chasing the same question: what should I build? With the same models and the same APIs, capability is no longer the moat. How to analyze demand for a disruptive use case, how to tell only-possible-now from newly-easier, and how unique positioning turns into product.

Supriya Gupta Founder & CEO, Eve
Read bio →
Supriya spent over 15 years in AI product leadership at IBM, Meta, and, most recently, Intuit Credit Karma, as a VP running a 300-person org. The problem she saw is universal and structural: the more senior you get, the more the world demands your voice, and the less time you have to use it.
The systems to scale executive influence have always been entirely human. She built Eve when the underlying AI finally matured enough to handle the nuance and complexity of how leaders actually think.
Cat Valverde GM, Eve Studio
Read bio →
Cat spent over a decade building agencies before joining Eve as founding GM, most recently Writerly, an executive content shop that became Eve’s first agency partner. Before that, she ran CX at Care.com through its $500M acquisition by IAC, and led two earlier companies at the intersection of AI and B2B marketing.
Her guiding philosophy is that technology should amplify what makes us human, and the strongest businesses are built on trust long before they’re built on transactions.
