From her early days at Hootsuite to launching her own consultancy, Jennifer shares how her journey led her to AI and why many businesses still arenโ€™t ready to take advantage of it. The conversation covers everything from managing AI overwhelm to building company-wide literacyโ€”and the surprising ways rural companies are navigating the transition.
