Show Notes
This episode dives into the evolving space where entrepreneurship, education, and AI collide. Host Susan Diaz sits down with Deborah Carraro, an educator, AI leader, and founder of ideborah, to unpack how early-stage entrepreneurs can approach AI with creativity, experimentation, and values alignment.
Deborah, who also leads AI efforts at Coralus (formerly SheEO), shares her insights from working with founders and students navigating new tech - often for the very first time.

Confidence over perfection: The first step to AI literacy is giving yourself permission to try
Small experiments > Big overwhelm: Starting with low-stakes tools to build intuition
AI as a creativity booster: Using tools to prototype faster, not skip the strategy
The Coralus approach: Why community, trust, and collective intelligence matter in this tech shift
Values-aligned implementation: Replacing fear narratives with intentional, human-first use
📌 "AI is just a tool - the magic is in how you apply it." — Deborah Carraro "We can't wait until we feel fully ready. We need to start experimenting now." — Susan Diaz
