These pioneering users began to experiment with information-sharing through a few leads in this network, and quickly realized the power that this network had to speed product information, updates, and support to people, using much less effort than the standard method – the U.S. Mail – would have allowed. AUGC produced promotional videos for Apple products. In April 2012, PandoDaily included Leanse as one of the top 5 tech marketers. In the article she is attributed as being the pioneer of "online community". She was an employee of Google between 2008 and 2010, charged with leading marketing communications for the Google G-Suite. In 2013 Leanse joined Stanford University’s Continuing Studies faculty to teach the neuroscience of innovation through on-campus and online courses. She currently teaches an online course, "Unleashing Creative Innovation and Building Great Products" for Stanford, combining principles of "cognitive neuroscience, design frameworks and evolutionary biology,"  Her work and course at Stanford were featured in the article, "Former Google and Apple exec now challenges Stanford students to design products that make people happy" via CNBC. She has published multiple articles on brain-aware leadership, well-being, gender, and interpersonal dynamics. Her articles have been globally syndicated, receiving up to 8 million views and guiding readers everywhere to new levels of self-awareness and empowerment. Leanse is a study of neuroscience and "brain hacking". Her book "The Happiness Hack", published by Sourcebooks in 2017, explores concepts of attention, connection, and life satisfaction through perspectives on applied neuroscience. The Happiness Hack uses the lens of evolutionary biology and neurochemistry to explore how routine behaviors in modern life can interfere with happiness – and how to “hack back,” improving well-being and life satisfaction. The book discusses various ideas and solutions that are rooted in neuroscience, examining the role of the brain in creating our point of view and how it affects our focus, purpose, and the achievement of true satisfaction, and how opening to new possibilities of thinking differently can help an individual "hack into happiness". The Happiness Hack is a brain-aware guide to bringing more enjoyment, success, and happiness to our daily, and long-term, lives. By simplifying basic concepts of neuroscience, The Happiness Hack offers insights into stress, distraction, tech addiction, and a sense of disconnection in ways that let readers identify common mental tendencies – and guide the brain toward alternate paths. Leanse has acknowledged the work of neuroleadership influencer David Rock in her book. She also acknowledges the work of Stanford researcher and neuroanatomist Sarah Eagleman, who provided scientific review on the book.
