Hi, I’m Julia Taylor, CEO & Founder of GeekPack. I grew up hearing “like a girl” as an insult. Now? I wear it like armor. Yes, I run my business like a girl - and that’s my superpower. Because building like a girl means your rules, your rhythm, your future. Not the 24/7 hustle playbook. Not someone else’s formula. Think smart tech, small wins that stack, and a business that bends to your life (not the other way around). Each week, I drop practical tips, geeky tools, and mindset shifts straight into 20,000+ inboxes to turn overwhelm into action. And with GeekPack’s bigger vision - 1 million women equipped by 2030 - we’re not here to play small. Because when you build it like a girl, you build it to last. “Your newsletter is one of the very few I read every single week. I faithfully open it and read it - the content is excellent, the design is great... the whole thing is an entire experience.” - Jen Myers, Founder, Homeschool CEO.

Revenue is happening… but the actions that produced it weren’t...
Ever have one of those months where you’re working at a 10… but revenue feels like it’s operating at a 4 or even a 3? Yeah. Me too. March 2025. Exactly one year ago. My team and I used to send weekly Loom updates sharing our priorities and working hours for the week (hello, remote team). I remember my working hours that month very clearly: All the time. Early mornings before the house woke up. Late nights after everyone went to bed. Weekends carved out for “deep work.” My calendar was full....
Over the past few years, we’ve hosted 13 virtual events and supported 70,000+ women through summits and online experiences. Virtual is powerful. It scales. It works. But here’s the thing (especially in the age of AI): Every leap in my business happened in a room. Chicago in 2017 - I went fulltime on my business Connecticut in 2018 - I launched my first course Kansas City in 2024 - I spoke on stage, said our 1M vision publicly, and initiated our partnership with Verizon Every time I invested...
