Change management, AI adoption, leading with zero expertise, and why your mindset is the most underrated scaling tool you have.
Jennifer Doty, CPA, bestselling author, VP-level leader at MetLife for nearly 20 years, and current Head of Operations at ThreeFlow, a leading benefits placement platform, joins Exit Algorithms to break down how she has navigated corporate transformation, entrepreneurship, and AI adoption all at the same time.
We cover:
– How Jennifer led MetLife’s IT integration of AIG’s international business with zero IT background and why that became the blueprint for her entire leadership style
– Why the most important skill in any transformation is being the translator between teams that cannot understand each other
– How ThreeFlow gave every single employee an unlimited Claude seat and made AI adoption everyone’s daily responsibility
– Why automating a bad process just gives you a faster bad process and how to fix the process before you touch the Technology
– How Jennifer built a five-figure monthly side income stream with Live Pure in just 15 months while running a full-time VP role
– The income-producing activity framework and how it applies to your business just as much as a side hustle
– Lessons from her two books: “Just Lead” and “The Right Now Role,” and what nobody tells you about exiting a corporate career
– Jennifer’s practical tip: your mindset is your scaling tool. Whether you believe it will be hard or easy, you are right either way.
