In this episode of the Badass Women in Business Podcast, hosts Aggie and Cristy sit down with the innovative duo, Lauren Shaw and Lauren Capwell, co-founders of Clarity Playbook™. Both entrepreneurs share their unique journeys, explain how they harnessed AI to simplify business growth for women entrepreneurs, and offer practical advice on building a business that supports freedom and success.
How Clarity Playbook™ Was Born: From Hula Hoops to Aerospace Engineering
The path to creating Clarity Playbook™ is as diverse as the founders themselves. Lauren Shaw, who turned her love for hula hooping into a global empire selling LED circus equipment, and Lauren Capwell, who began her career in aerospace engineering building rockets, joined forces to create a business that leverages AI to empower female entrepreneurs. They realized their combined skills in technology, sales, and marketing were a perfect match to solve the common pain points of women in business.
After conducting extensive market research, including interviews with over 100 female entrepreneurs, the Laurens identified recurring challenges: lack of clarity on ideal clients, time management issues, and the overwhelm of running small teams or solo businesses. Armed with these insights, they built Clarity Playbook™, an AI-driven tool designed to automate key business processes, freeing up time for women to focus on growth.
Leveraging AI to Empower Women Entrepreneurs
AI is still an emerging tool for many business owners, especially women. Clarity Playbook™ aims to demystify and simplify the use of AI, making it accessible even for those without a tech background. Their first tool, the Client Clarity Playbook, helps entrepreneurs define their ideal client, understand their pain points, and create strategies to engage them—all through a few simple inputs and automated AI processes.
The AI analyzes market data and patterns, delivering a comprehensive 35-page report that entrepreneurs can use to streamline their business operations. This tool is particularly powerful for businesses that have plateaued at the $250K mark and are struggling to scale due to time management and backend system issues.
For many female entrepreneurs, Clarity Playbook™ has become a game-changer, helping them reclaim time, increase efficiency, and drive growth.
AI as a Tool for Business Success and Freedom
A key takeaway from the conversation with Lauren Shaw and Lauren Capwell is the importance of creating a business that aligns with your lifestyle goals. Freedom is a core value for both founders, and they’ve built Clarity Playbook™ to help other women achieve the same. Their journey of traveling the world while building their business is a testament to their belief that you can have both business success and personal freedom—if you design your business with intention.
Lauren Shaw shared the challenge of balancing freedom and service, explaining that many entrepreneurs end up in business models that don’t fit their ideal lifestyle. The Laurens pivoted from group coaching to licensing their tools to help other businesses implement AI in their processes, allowing them to scale their impact without sacrificing their freedom.
The Power of Women in Tech: A Vision for the Future
One of the standout moments of this episode is the duo’s passion for helping women entrepreneurs leverage AI to accelerate their businesses. Technology is often a male-dominated space, but Lauren Shaw’s background in sales and marketing and Lauren Capwell’s experience in aerospace engineering offer a unique perspective on breaking barriers for women in tech.
Their mission? To touch a billion lives by empowering entrepreneurs to embrace the possibilities of AI without the intimidation factor. They envision a future where more women confidently integrate AI into their businesses, reducing time spent on manual tasks and focusing on growth and innovation.
