🔥 Austin Tech Week ‘25 🔥
It was an enjoyable week attending interesting talks that piqued my interest and aligned with my background in technology, sports, health, and nutrition. I connected with so many wonderful people at this conference hosted by
@CapitalFactory in Austin, TX. Here are some quick highlights:
🎤 Jada Pickett hosted the Women in Tech event to kick off the week, spotlighting some PHENOMENAL WOMEN speakers:
🧘♀️ Michelle Florez led the discussion on Magnetic Leadership: The Feminine Way, dialing up our energy and focus with posture checks, deep breath work, and a powerful visualization exercise as we manifested and connected in ways we desire to thrive in this world. The “stage” was set to navigate the day and beyond with awareness, ease, and presence. Don’t play small; ). No coffee needed following that! I was spiritually caffeinated.
💃 Tracey Abbott, the keynote speaker, spoke on Leading With Intuition in the Age of AI. “The greatest barrier to transformation isn’t technology, it’s hesitation.” In this AI “nitro-boosted” world, it’s imperative that leaders are not only AI-powered but humanistic. Take some risks, trust your intuition, and allow that to power your growth and next adventure.
💪 Ashleigh Brown spoke on The Pleasure Principle: A Radical Rethinking of the Modern Women’s Health Market. “The unlock to the biggest opportunity in women's health isn't another clinical breakthrough; it's understanding how culture, innovation, and identity are reshaping what women actually want and need from health and healthcare.” This set the tone for this enlightening talk.
Panel discussions included:
✨ Carlisha Robinson & Bree Whitehead - The Human AI Mindset: Practical Use Cases for Work and Play. This was a fun lunch and learn as the speakers provided insight into the AI tools used such as Google’s NotebookLM, Nano Banana, and Stream Realtime to assist with their workflows.
💎 Stephen Huerta, Nicolette Jackson, Carley Deardorff (she/her) - Getting Hired in 2025: Real Talk from Recruiters and Hiring Managers who highlighted, among other things, networking effectively, leveraging your community, and showcasing relevant skills for increased visibility to obtain your next role.
💫 Laura Avonius, Hannu Kinnunen, Dr. Trevor Colm, Victoria Williamson - Beyond Health Measurement: Personalization Drives Results. The speakers discussed wearable tech devices, the Oura ring for tracking health data points such as sleep and activity and Cortex used by chiropractors to monitor the nervous system’s response in real time. In addition, the discussion describing the Audicin app, featuring music and binaural beats was noted for its holistic approach to support relaxation and mindfulness.

I had an absolute blast assembling these videos using CapCut. It was my first time using the app, experimenting and playing with the edits, effects, and animation tools. I enjoyed getting lost in this project. 🙃
