This episode starts with a contradiction: a gorgeous blue-sky walk... paired with a doomsday AI podcast.

In this reflection, I explore:

What I actually think about AI (spoiler: no one really knows)
A sharp, pragmatic post by Greg Isenberg on the real impact of AI on jobs
My commentary on what’s already playing out in workplaces I consult with
How this will affect facilitators, consultants, educators — and the entire idea of “relevance”
Why trades and creativity are about to see a big upswing
What education should be focusing on instead of rote recall
Why I believe we’re heading into the “beehive era”: lean giants surrounded by thousands of powerful 1-person businesses

👀 Referenced:

Greg Isenberg’s post on LinkedIn: “AI won’t take your job. Someone who knows AI will.”
My earlier walkthrough on building a tool using Google’s Gemini AI
The shift I’m already seeing in hiring policies and team structures
A warning + invitation for anyone who thinks “my work is safe”
