Read the Kinwise Conversations Origin Story
-
I’ve always loved a good conversation. The way two people lean in, words dancing back and forth, the unexpected turns that make us laugh or pause. That's where true connection sparks. It's this alchemy, the shared curiosity and gentle surprises, that first drew me to conversation as craft.

I started my career teaching through Teach for America. Each day felt like sprinting uphill: I was learning on the fly, trying to be “good enough,” and ending every afternoon feeling drained.
Then I’d lace up my shoes and head to the canal trail, feet pounding the gravel as a podcast played in my ears. Krista Tippett’s voice would guide the conversation, and suddenly teaching felt less bewildering. I watched her coax questions from guests with genuine care, and I thought, I want to learn how to hold space like that.

Where did Kinwise Conversations even come from? Honestly, I’m still piecing that together. I remember banning “AI talk” with my husband for a weekend—our debates had become electric and exhausting. Weeks later, over dinner, some dear friends said something I’ll never forget: “You could help people with AI. You could do it on your own.” At that moment, I knew I wanted to guide people's use of this technology.
I started asking myself: What am I truly good at? Connecting. Listening. Helping people lean into their questions without fear.
Generative AI is, at its core, built on human experience, so if you’re good with people, you can help it shine. I sensed a gift in that: a way to sit beside someone, ask the right question at the right time, and watch their eyes light up as they discovered something new.

And so, Kinwise (and Kinwise Conversations!) was born. It’s a podcast for people who are already curious about AI, but who also crave genuine connection. Each episode is two humans, as themselves, diving into what matters about AI: the hopes, the doubts, the small revelations that happen when you let curiosity lead.
In Kinwise Conversations, we’ll talk to people who excel at integrating their full humanity with machine intelligence, exploring the profound impact on both work and life.
I’ve made space in my life for this: to sit at a mic, bring my whole self, and invite others to do the same. I hope you’ll listen to the Kinwise Conversations Trailer and join me on this journey.
