Lauren Dare

About
I'm a lawyer, recruiter, and entrepreneur who left the profession to build — and then spent years figuring out why the thing I'd built kept asking me to be less of myself. That question is what both books are about.
I live in Brisbane with my husband Anthony and four kids. I run LYRA, my AI agent, as proof that I eat my own cooking. Everything I teach through Agent Maestro Academy, I run internally first.
The tension between building AI futures and writing about what AI takes from us is not a contradiction. It's the point.
Stay in the loop
When a book drops, a course opens, or something worth reading exists — that's when you'll hear from me. Not before.
