Julia McCoy is a visionary leader at the frontier of human potential and artificial intelligence. After building and selling a 100-person writing agency by age 30, she discovered something profound: our liberation lies not in resisting technology, but in embracing it. This revelation transformed her from a successful entrepreneur into a passionate advocate for human sovereignty in the age of AI. As the founder of First Movers and host of the Leaders in AI podcast, Julia guides businesses and individuals through the greatest technological revolution in human history. But her mission runs deeper than business transformation—she's dedicated to showing people how AI can restore their time, creativity, and connection to what matters most. Julia's journey from escaping a fundamentalist cult (chronicled in her memoir "Woman Rising") to becoming a nine-time author and AI integration pioneer gives her a unique perspective on liberation. She knows firsthand that true freedom often comes through the very things we're taught to fear. Today, she leads a movement of "First Movers"—individuals and organizations ready to harness AI not as a replacement for human potential, but as wings for human flourishing. Through her writing, speaking, and technological innovations, Julia is helping create a world where technology serves its highest purpose: setting humanity free to be more fully human. Her work has touched millions, but her message remains deeply personal: your value isn't in your productivity, but in your presence. The machines aren't here to replace you—they're here to remind you who you were always meant to be.
