Kirsten explains why she started building AI systems after watching clients' applications lose all personality (00:48), and walks through her \"own your story\" foundation, culture matching, and trigger-event research (05:07). She makes the case for using Gemini's live, Google-integrated search rather than frozen data (07:31), and breaks down her weekly strategy across the public and hidden job markets (11:01). Kirsten and Dan discuss why human connection and networking are still critical even with AI (21:21), her own path across nine countries and path to career coaching (26:02), and why most senior transitions happen before a role is ever posted (33:36).
