Together, Kelly and Jamye explore the importance of mindset shifts in legacy industries, the impact of COVID on digital adoption, the role of virtual and augmented reality in future auction experiences, and how AI might shape the next chapter. They also discuss the founding of GROW, a mentorship network that supports women in the industry by lifting each other up through authentic stories and shared experiences.
