About this Event

KC Cohort Lunch & Learn:
The AI Boardroom: Build Your Personal AI Board of Advisors

What if you could walk into a boardroom anytime you wanted…

…and sitting around the table were some of the smartest minds in the world helping you think through your next move?

Imagine having access to a strategic brain trust made up of:

• Brilliant marketers
• Savvy financial minds
• Leadership experts
• Legal thinkers
• Culture builders
• Industry experts

Even thought leaders like Warren Buffett, Mel Robbins, Simon Sinek — or the best minds in your own industry.

Sounds impossible?

It’s not.

In this intimate KC Cohort Lunch & Learn, you’ll learn how to build your own AI-powered Board of Advisors — a powerful strategic tool that can help you think clearer, move faster, and make better decisions in business and life.

This session will be led by Carolynn Santos, Director of KC Cohort, who has used her own virtual board as a strategic advantage for more than two decades.

Your host and MC for the session will be Gabby Starnes, founder of Helps2 Media and its women's business growth network called KC Cohort.



In This Session You’ll Learn How To:

• Build your own AI Board of Advisors in minutes
• Brainstorm ideas with world-class perspectives
• Pressure-test business decisions before committing
• Identify blind spots and opportunities faster
• Use AI as a strategic thought partner — not a replacement for your thinking

This isn’t about outsourcing your brain.

It’s about upgrading how you think.

Your AI board can help you navigate:

• Business growth decisions
• Leadership challenges
• Tough client situations
• Marketing ideas
• Career moves
• Big life choices

…and yes — even those 2 a.m. “what should I do about this client?” moments.

The best part?

You don’t need any AI experience to make this work.

Carolynn will walk you through the process step-by-step so you leave with a tool you can start using immediately.
