She and Jason dig into WiT's mentorship programs, its complimentary membership for students and job seekers, and how the industry is slowly opening more doors for women in leadership. They also swap notes on AI adoption, from Angelina's advice to keep learning every day to Jason's own AI rollout across his team.
