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
đź‘€ 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”

• What’s the skill you believe will matter most in this AI-powered shift?
• Where are you seeing this play out already?
