Alexis Barber is a creator, author, speaker, and strategist shaping the future of smart, intentional living. She helped launch YouTube Shorts at Google, built and scaled a premium lifestyle brand with partners including Rare Beauty and Bumble, and grew Too Smart For This into a leading media platform spanning podcasting, publishing, and community.

Alexis earned her MBA from Wharton School while building her work, blending cultural fluency with strategic rigor to help ambitious women build lives that are intentional, well-curated, and fully lived.
