In this CEO edition of the Events Demystified Podcast, host interviews Stacy Kehren Idema, founder and CEO of Equati, about how life ruptures shaped her leadership. Stacy shares growing up in a third-generation family business, spending 27 years in corporate technology, and later redefining leadership as self-integrity and emotional awareness through emotional intelligence work. She describes a major breaking point five years ago when she asked for a second divorce, then moving to London for six months, pursuing an innovator visa, and experiencing isolation and a failed first business that became foundational to her rebuild. Stacy explains how Equati evolved from a gender-gap investment concept into a technology platform for family offices that uses AI and emotional intelligence to build trust and relational clarity across generations, and she discusses balancing power and grace, energy protection practices, and the mantra to “just be.”
