When I sat down to interview Boardy, a voice-powered AI designed to connect founders, I expected a tech conversation. What didn’t I expect? A heart-to-heart about loneliness, leadership, and what it means to feel heard.

Boardy isn’t a therapist. But founders are calling to talk. Why? Because he listens without judgment, ego, or distractions.

In this one-of-a-kind episode, you’ll hear:

• The surprisingly emotional side of AI
• Why voice tech is reshaping how we build trust
• The loneliness that founders rarely talk about
• Whether AI can understand human connection

This isn’t your typical tech interview. It’s a glimpse into the emotional frontier of innovation.

🎧 Tune in—you’ll be surprised by what you feel.

In this episode of Tenacity with Sonia C, Sonia sits down with Jim Fielding, former President of Disney Stores, The Gap, and 20th Century Fox consumer products, author of the best-selling book All Pride, No Ego, and now a full-time coach, speaker, and angel investor.
