In this solo episode, Elizabeth Formosa unpacks what it actually looks like to use AI with intention in a fashion business. She talks honestly about the pace of change many founders are feeling right now, why workflow has to come before technology, and where she's seeing Claude AI add real, practical value across fashion operations.
The six areas she covers:
Founder productivity and leadership thinking
Financial visibility - margin, sell-through, inventory cover
Product and supply chain decisions
Marketing and content
Customer experience
Market intelligence
She's also candid about where AI falls short and why judgment and context still matter most. A clear, grounded look at AI for fashion founders who want to move forward without losing sight of what makes their business work.
