269: Big Vision Without Burnout: How to Lead Without Overwhelm with Jackie Peters

You don’t need a degree—or a perfect plan—to lead with vision.

In this episode, I’m joined by Jackie Peters, startup founder and longtime tech innovator, for a powerful conversation on how to lead boldly, build something meaningful, and move forward—even when you don’t feel 100% ready.

With 25+ years of experience across mobile gaming, AI-powered healthcare, and privacy-preserving data analytics, Jackie brings a rare mix of visionary thinking, human-centered leadership, and strategic clarity. We talk about building confidence in uncharted territory, trusting your instincts, and turning complex ideas into user-first innovation.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

• Why you don’t need credentials to lead powerfully
• How to turn big vision into practical progress
• What it means to lead with empathy and clarity
• Why “privacy by design” matters now more than ever
• How to build momentum when the roadmap is uncertain
• The founder mindset: from grit to growth
• Why leadership starts before you feel ready

✨ This episode is for the bold, the curious, and the women shaping the future of tech on their own terms.
