In this week’s episode of Similarly Different, I sit down with Qiushi — an innovative founder, creative, and tech leader from Silicon Valley who is building Leyline, an AI-powered platform designed to help creators bring their stories and ideas to life without waiting on gatekeepers! From her early days chasing a dream in screenwriting to launching a startup at the intersection of AI, storytelling, and entrepreneurship, Qiushi shares her journey of resilience, leadership, and vision.

Together, we explore:
- How AI is reshaping the creative industry for filmmakers, writers, influencers, and entrepreneurs

- Why Leyline was built to empower everyday creators (and how it works)

- The balance between human creativity and AI tools in art, business, and content

- What it’s like being a female immigrant founder in a male-dominated tech space

- The future of work, storytelling, and content creation in the age of AI

Whether you’re a creator, entrepreneur, or simply curious about how AI will transform our lives, this episode gives you a front-row seat to the opportunities and challenges ahead!
