How To Lead Before the Role Exists: Build, Adapt, and Stay Human
<p>Careers aren’t built by waiting for the perfect job title.</p><p>They’re built by stepping into problems that don’t even have names yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>In this episode of Reddy2Grow, we sit down with Allison Sagraves, data and AI strategist, founding Chief Data Officer of M&T Bank, former White House staff member, and advisor to leaders across industries, for a deeply insightful conversation on navigating careers in a world where roles are constantly evolving.</p><p><br /></p><p>From starting as a 19-year-old intern in the White House to shaping one of the earliest Chief Data Officer roles in banking, Allison’s journey is a masterclass in what it means to grow into opportunities before they formally exist. She shares how curiosity, initiative, and a bias toward solving real problems can open doors that traditional career paths never could.</p><p><br /></p><p>But this episode goes beyond career milestones.</p><p><br /></p><p>Allison breaks down what it actually means to “learn AI” in a practical way, especially for Gen Z navigating uncertainty. Instead of chasing titles or trends, she emphasizes experimentation, hands-on learning, and using AI as a tool to deepen creativity, personalize learning, and create real value in everyday contexts.</p><p><br /></p><p>She also offers a powerful reframe on leadership.</p><p><br /></p><p>From redefining gravitas as presence rooted in respect and authenticity, to highlighting the importance of combining technical skill with human understanding, Allison makes one thing clear: the future belongs to those who can balance both.</p><p><br /></p><p>And she doesn’t shy away from the realities.</p><p><br /></p><p>From navigating male-dominated rooms to recognizing that the world isn’t always fair, Allison speaks candidly about what it takes to compete, adapt, and build influence, especially for women in STEM. Her advice is grounded, honest, and focused on long-term impact over short-term validation.</p><p><br /></p><p>At its core, this conversation is about redefining success in an unpredictable world, where careers are nonlinear, learning never stops, and the ability to adapt matters more than any single skill.</p><p><br /></p><p>This episode is for students, builders, and leaders who are trying to find their place in a fast-changing world and are ready to stop waiting and start creating it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Inside the episode: </p><p>→ Why many future jobs don’t exist yet, and why that’s an advantage </p><p>→ How Allison went from White House intern to Chief Data Officer </p><p>→ The power of experimentation and hands-on problem solving</p><p>→ Redefining gravitas for modern leadership </p><p>→ Why combining technical skills with human insight is a competitive edge</p><p> → The role of intergenerational collaboration in the future of work</p><p>→ How to build a career without relying on traditional paths</p><p><br /></p><p>As technology continues to reshape industries, Allison offers a perspective that cuts through the pressure:</p><p>You don’t need to have everything figured out.</p><p>You just need to stay in the game learning, building, and solving real problems as the world evolves.</p><p><br /></p><p>🎧 NEW EPISODE DROP </p><p>A conversation on AI, careers without titles, intergenerational leadership, and how to create opportunities before they exist.</p><p><br /></p><p>Follow and Connect with Reddy2Grow</p><p><br /></p><p>Reddy2Grow Socials:</p><p>LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/reddy2grow-podcast/</p><p><br /></p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reddy2growpodcast</p><p><br /></p><p>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/reddy2grow</p><p><br /></p><p>Allison Sagraves Socials:</p><p>LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/allisonsagraves/</p><p><br /></p><p>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/allison.sagravesconnors </p><p><br /></p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/allisonsagraves/</p><p><br /></p><p>Priya Reddy Socials:</p><p>LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/priyareddy-dataleader/</p><p><br /></p><p>Newsletter: https://thepriyareddy.substack.com/</p><p><br /></p><p>Website: https://www.priyareddyconsulting.com/</p><p><br /></p><p>Hansika Reddy Socials:</p><p>LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hansika-reddy/</p><p><br /></p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lovecareandart/</p><p><br /></p>

The CIO Mindset Behind Enterprise Transformation: From finance and risk to enterprise technology leadership
<p>Careers don’t break because you take a different path.</p><p><br></p><p>They break when you’re too afraid to take one at all.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode of Reddy2Grow, we sit down with Michele Rodgers, Chief Information Officer at Exeter Finance, instructor at SMU’s Tech CXO Leadership Excellence Program, and Vice Chair of the Dallas CIO Advisory Board, for a real, no-frills conversation on leadership, pivots, and learning to lead with confidence in spaces that feel unfamiliar.</p><p><br></p><p>Michele didn’t follow a straight line to the C-suite. She started in accounting, moved through transformation, compliance, and risk, and eventually led enterprise technology, not because she had it all mapped out, but because she stayed curious, built strong relationships, and kept saying yes to opportunities that stretched her.</p><p><br></p><p>Her story challenges one of tech’s most persistent myths: that leadership belongs only to the most technical.</p><p><br></p><p>What actually matters is how you think, how you listen, and how you show up for people.</p><p><br></p><p>From leading large-scale transformation during COVID while navigating personal loss, to building cultures rooted in trust and inclusion, Michele shares what leadership looks like when it’s grounded in resilience, humility, and intention.</p><p><br></p><p>This episode is for anyone questioning their path, hesitating to take the next step, or feeling like they don’t quite “fit” the mold of leadership.</p><p><br></p><p>Inside the episode:</p><p>→ Why you don’t need to be the expert to lead</p><p>→ How non-linear careers become your biggest advantage</p><p>→ The leadership myth that holds women back from the C-suite</p><p>→ Building trust and culture in times of disruption</p><p>→ Why saying yes, even when unsure, changes everything</p><p>There is no single path to leadership.</p><p>But there is a choice: stay where it’s safe, or step into what’s possible.</p><p><br></p><p>🎧 NEW EPISODE DROP</p><p>An honest conversation on career pivots, women in tech leadership, and building influence without fitting the mold.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Follow and Connect with Reddy2Grow</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Reddy2Grow Socials:</p><p><br></p><p>LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/reddy2grow-podcast/</p><p><br></p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reddy2growpodcast</p><p><br></p><p>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/reddy2grow</p><p><br></p><p>Michele Rodgers Socials:</p><p><br></p><p>LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelehrodgers/</p><p><br></p><p>Website: https://www.exeterfinance.com/</p><p><br></p><p>Priya Reddy Socials:</p><p><br></p><p>LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/priyareddy-dataleader/</p><p><br></p><p>Newsletter: https://thepriyareddy.substack.com/</p><p><br></p><p>Website: https://www.priyareddyconsulting.com/</p><p><br></p><p>Hansika Reddy Socials:</p><p><br></p><p>LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hansika-reddy/</p><p><br></p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lovecareandart/<br></p>

The AI Factor Leaders Keep Missing: Accountability and the Human Side of AI
<p>Most people think entrepreneurship starts with an idea.</p><p>Asha Saxena makes it clear: it starts with how you show up.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode of Reddy2Grow, we sit down with Asha Saxena, serial entrepreneur, CEO coach, Columbia University professor, and author, for a grounded and insightful conversation on what it actually takes to build, scale, and lead in today’s world.</p><p><br></p><p>From an unexpected turning point early in her career to building and scaling multiple companies, Asha’s journey challenges the polished narrative of entrepreneurship. She breaks down the myths founders often believe, and replaces them with something far more real: discipline, consistency, and a relentless commitment to doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.</p><p><br></p><p>But this conversation goes deeper than business building.</p><p><br></p><p>Asha unpacks the hidden gap between technology and business that most young professionals are never taught, why “being in the room” is not enough without adding value, and how leadership today demands both strategic clarity and human-centered thinking.</p><p><br></p><p>She also shares candid insights from coaching C-suite leaders, revealing the blind spots that hold even the most successful executives back, and why having the right team, perspective, and environment matters more than raw talent.</p><p><br></p><p>At its core, this episode is about value-driven leadership.</p><p>Not performative success. Not external validation. But the quiet, consistent work of becoming someone who creates real impact.</p><p><br></p><p>This is a conversation for founders, students, operators, and leaders who want to build meaningful work and sustain it.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Inside the episode:</strong></p><p>→ The biggest misconceptions about building and selling a business</p><p>→ Why doing “a little extra” compounds into life-changing opportunities</p><p>→ How Asha built multiple companies starting in her 20s</p><p>→ The real gap between technology and business, and why it matters</p><p>→ Frameworks for applying AI in real-world business contexts</p><p>→ The #1 blind spot of CEOs and high-performing leaders</p><p>→ Why diversity (not just skill) drives high-performing teams</p><p>→ Moving from being in the room to actually influencing it</p><p>→ The power of community in leadership growth</p><p>→ Why value, not visibility, is the real metric of success</p><p>As industries evolve and AI reshapes how we work, Asha offers a perspective that cuts through the noise:</p><p><br></p><p>Success is not about chasing recognition.</p><p>It’s about consistently becoming someone who adds value, every room, every time.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>🎧 NEW EPISODE DROP</strong></p><p>A conversation on entrepreneurship, AI, leadership, and the discipline of doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Follow and Connect with Reddy2Grow</strong></p><p>Reddy2Grow Socials:</p><p>LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/reddy2grow-podcast/</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reddy2growpodcast</p><p>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/reddy2grow</p><p><br></p><p>Asha Saxena Socials:</p><p>LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashasaxena101</p><p>Website: https://wlda.tech</p><p><br></p><p>Priya Reddy Socials:</p><p>LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/priyareddy-dataleader/</p><p>Newsletter: https://thepriyareddy.substack.com/</p><p>Website: https://www.priyareddyconsulting.com/</p><p><br></p><p>Hansika Reddy Socials:</p><p>LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hansika-reddy/</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lovecareandart/</p>
