Building AI in the Age of Burnout and Bullsh*t

​This isn’t a panel. It isn’t a pitch. It’s real coaching—for real clarity. Because in the age of automation and overwhelm, your greatest advantage is still you.

​This raw, interactive session is led by certified coach and AI growth expert Carmela Fortin.

​Sponsored by Seashucked Oysters & Caviar at AI2 House on Pier 70.

​AGENDA

​We kick off with a grounding and movement session led by Master Trainer & Coach Laura Mak Quist, MS, of Yoga Fit Life designed to reset your nervous system, dissolve tension, and get you fully in the room—mind, body, and breath.

​From there, Carmela Fortin—ICF-certified Mento.co coach, AI growth strategist and advisor, Silicon Valley veteran, CEO of Seattle Startup Coaches, and host of The AI Marketing Coach Podcast—guides you through a high-intensity blend of live hot-seat coaching, peer insight pods, and real-time resets.

​You’ll explore what it looks like to lead through uncertainty, make sharp decisions in a foggy AI-powered landscape, and stop performing productivity for everyone else’s expectations.

​Expect breakthroughs.

​Expect human messiness.

​Expect a room full of builders who are just as in it as you are and ready to learn from one another.

​This session will be limited to AI founders, AI investors and AI leadership team members.

​This session will take place in partnership with AI2 House empowering founders creating AI-first companies. https://www.ai2incubator.com/
