Welcome to Conversationality
Every other week, Optionality’s co-founders Elisa Camahort Page and Jory Des Jardins (and occasional guests) will share a quick, topical, and timely audio conversation relevant to Optionality and the people who pursue it. For Premium members only.
What is this week’s conversation?
The jumping off point for this week’s conversation was inspired by the story about an AI sizzle reel getting booked at SXSW Film. First Elisa wrote this week’s newsletter about it, and in this conversation, Jory adds her thoughts to Elisa’s.
Jory emphasizes how we’ve gone through a similar cycle with other emerging technologies, and is also able to talk about what her kids are being taught in school (middle school-ish age). Of course we digress a bit too. We talk about SXSW circa 2006. And we decide not to go down the #KateGate AI rabbit hole.
Mentioned in the episode:
The Business Insider story that prompted this
Mia Shah-Dand from Women in AI Ethics
So, as we ask in the episode: How are you using AI right now? And what is freaking you out about it?
Don’t miss our interview with author and Silicon Valley icon, Guy Kawasaki. It’s 40 minutes of wisdom shared with humor and humility! Listen here.
Coming next
Don’t miss our next member webinar about Caregiving: The Silent Energy Drain. hear from speakers who are both experts and have lived experience caregiving, Karen Chong from AARP, Kim Moy, founder of Caregiver Wisdom, and Liz O’Donnell, founder of Working Daughter. Register here and join us on March 28th at 12PM PT/3PM ET.
Over on the community Slack this week, a group of us have decided that we’re GREAT at helping other people articulate their positioning and their value, and that we SUCK at doing it ourselves. So we’ve formed our first small working group, designed to bring our values of helping all boats rise and giving and getting to life! ago go to this thread in the #hold-me-accountable channel and let us know if you want to join in. We’ll kick off April 1st with a session led by generous fellow member Joanna Bloor.
FYI: The early adopter rate for Premium membership will be winding down soon, so if you have friends or colleagues who you think would benefit from Optionality, please do encourage them to join now! Or give them membership as a (very nice and generous, go you!) gift.

Until next time…
—Elisa + Jory
