HIGHER GAME

354 days. 33,116 messages. One woman who refused to lose.

Hosted by Stephanie Belote

I lost my mind at a game of Candyland when I was four. Now at 54, I'm playing for higher stakes.

Higher Game is the podcast for people building something from nothing using AI, grit, and the refusal to stay on someone else's board. A 54-year-old woman with no tech background who built an AI memory engine and taught herself to code—documenting every conversation, every pattern, every breakthrough over 354 days inside Cortex, her own agentic AI memory system.

This is an obsessive look at systems building from the inside out. From pattern recognition to AI automation, it's a show for the obsessive learners, the late-blooming tech entrepreneurs, and the women over 50 rewriting the rules.

The most dangerous person in any room is the one nobody saw coming.
