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).

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...
