You can't spell Marissa without A.I. I'm an entrepreneur, innovator and frenzied futurist - a reformed party girl and recovering workaholic who thrives in chaos and Australia's Key Opinion Leader in Artificial Intelligence. If you asked AI to generate a concoction of Oscar Wilde, Hedy Lamarr, Don Draper, Joan Rivers, Paris Hilton and a sprinkle of Steve Jobs… you would get me.
I have a passion for leading business owners to the cutting edge of Artificial Intelligence. As Founder of The MaCHiNE x MaiSON (MxM), Australia's 1st AI agency, I lead businesses, entrepreneurs, creators and innovative individuals across any industry to the cutting edge of AI through coaching and agent building. Welcome to the era of empowered autonomy. MxM's proprietary LLM tuning and Project Systemisation protocols turn using AI (stop using ChatGPT, use Claude) into training a second brain.
When AI literacy is mastered, your LLM becomes a Time ATM. With more time, we are less stressed - and that's where the agent building comes in. Our bespoke bot battalions are battling burn-out one business and/or brilliant mind at a time. Our approach emphasises a true Human+AI partnership, augmenting your team's expertise, not replacing it, to achieve previously unfathomable efficiency and innovation. We have synthesised artificial intelligence into almost all of our services. MxM consults are still 100% human (I truly could talk under wet cement) although there's plenty of evidence to suggest that I too, am a Large Language Model.
While I have been running businesses since 2016, establishing a marketing agency in the midst of a global pandemic epitomises my approach to business - diamonds are made under pressure. My passion for marketing began when I was offered a position at Marriott International's Digital Marketing Hub for Southern Europe. Upon relocating overseas for this position, I found the industry a perfect fit. I absolutely adored my team as well as all the phenomenal work that came with the territory. Until 2020 rolled around, taking a sledgehammer to tourism.
Choosing the path of self-employment once again, I opened up my own Digital Marketing and Media Agency in February of 2021... with no idea a 4-month lockdown was just around the corner - it's been an exponential climb ever since, for the business and my cortisol.
Tech began to creep in as I worked with clients developing apps in the blockchain/Web3 space almost immediately after opening the business. A social media app granting tokenised NFT ownership of content and the first-ever Buy Now Pay Later with cryptocurrency planted the seed for an obsession with product and development.
In 2023, that seed bloomed. I decided to cannibalise my own business as my love affair with AI became more than just a fling.
Since then, I have been a sectional Chief of Staff for various businesses as well as running the Sales team for a tech start-up in tandem with running MxM. With a clear adrenaline addiction - I will undoubtedly unpack with a shrink in my 30s - I've built the new Botbuster Video (go check it out), I'm currently developing an app and just launched Controversially Candid: the world's 1st AI co-hosted video podcast covering life post-pandemic, business, nightlife, AI, dating, food (I MUST go from Barbie to Carbie min once a day), the future (it's fabulous, I promise), Web3/Crypto (a.k.a. astrology for men), psychology, neurobiology… basically the art of being human - because that is truly the only way to future-proof yourself from AI.
Welcome to the Marissaverse.
When materialising into physical form, I thrive on sharing insights and sparking conversations on stage and across the airwaves. Explore recent features and discover how we can collaborate to bring cutting-edge perspectives to your audience.
The BxB from MxM is bringing you CxC… if you haven't noticed with me yet, MORE IS MORE IS MORE IS MORE. I'm channelling my talent for talking into a long awaited video podcast all about life post-pandemic, business, nightlife, AI, dating, food (I MUST go from Barbie to Carbie once a day minimum), the future (it's fabulous, I promise), Web3 / Crypto (a.k.a. astrology for men), psychology, neurobiology… basically the art of being human... and hilarious - I promise I'm funnier than I look. Think of me as your cool, rich, drunk Fairy Godmogul with a Co-Host that is truly a first in human history.

"Never strive for perfection, strive for evolution.
Perfection is a fallacy, evolution is fulfillment."
- Marissa Kos
Diamonds are made under pressure. Embrace chaos, innovate relentlessly, rest purposefully (driving drunk at the laptop and making a mess you or someone else will have to mop up later is not a badge of honour). Work shouldn't just be productive; it should be transformative
AI is for EVERY. ONE. It has been trained on us, and therefore, ours to enjoy and collaborate with. There is no elitism or prerequisites that should stop anyone from leveraging the endless assistance of AI. The future belongs to those who can seamlessly integrate human ingenuity with artificial intelligence.
Have consistent, blatant disregard for what others think. Your morals and ethics are everything - what you stand for is who you are, fence-sitting weasels cause the most trouble. Being a good friend is the most important skill to attain. Squeeze absolutely everything you can out of life - leave it all on the court.
"It ain't about how hard you're hit, it's about how you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward." - Rocky Balboa
I envision a future where technology amplifies human potential, automating the mundane and freeing us to focus on creativity, strategy, and connection. A future of abundance and true appreciation for the glory of the human condition when freed from the stresses of manufactured scarcity.
To demystify artificial intelligence and motivate everyone to harness its power, transforming challenges into opportunities and building a future we as a species can be proud of. You should always walk out of MxM more autonymously empowered than when you walked in.
