Should We Be “Like Men” to Get Ahead? with LauraAura

What if an algorithm could perfectly articulate the unfair advantages men have in business, and what if that knowledge was the catalyst you needed to completely change your career?

In the season finale on Amplify, Jess sits down with LauraAura, host of the wildly popular Gutsy Podcast and an acclaimed speaker. Laura shares the moment a Taylor Swift song drove her to ask ChatGPT a provocative question: "How would my career look different if I were a man?"

The AI's response—listing everything from earning more money to having faster access to "power rooms"—pissed her off, but also activated a plan. Laura breaks down the five core areas where women are often held back and details the specific, gutsy move she attached to each one, creating a powerful blueprint for other women to follow.

Tune in for:

• The exact list of biases ChatGPT revealed, including:
  • Earning more money (complete with stat ranges).
  • Access to more power rooms.
  • Boldness being seen as confidence, not a risk.
  • Outsourcing and delegating faster.
  • Less self-questioning.
• Laura's five "healthy spirals"—a practical, gutsy move for each bias to help women close the gap.
• Why "pitching full price" is the first gutsy move you need to make to fund outsourcing and regain your time.
• The power of "creating the room" or simply showing up in spaces like you belong there.
• The surprising secret to showing up as your full, bold self on platforms like LinkedIn (hint: it involves getting raw and authentic).
• The best advice for overcoming analysis paralysis and the constant urge to overthink your next step: "Do one thing."
• How to use your "evidence bank"—a track record of your past accomplishments—to eliminate self-questioning and own your worth.
