“You will never be able to keep up with AI”

I heard this sentiment a few times this past week.

While this may be true, I don’t think this mindset serves you.

It’s an excuse to give up.

But here’s the reality..

As men, our families rely on us.

Your kids, your wife, you teams, your community, your church…

They need you to step up.

Listen, I’m not saying things are going to be easy, but it’s important not to quit.

Guys, we are early in the game. Don’t quit now.

CHALLENGE: Listen to a podcast about AI in YOUR industry. How can you apply the technology to better serve your customers?

TikTok confirmed it will cut 439 content moderation roles in the United Kingdom. The company is transitioning to AI-driven moderation systems that detect harmful content faster than human reviewers.

Management says this improves accuracy and reduces stress for moderators. Workers say the AI still makes serious mistakes and cannot interpret context or culture.

The plan is to expand the system globally within the next year.

The Update:

Do you think AI can offer better content moderation?

Will ALL social media platforms moderate content? Is this a good thing?

This week, Elon announced Grok will become the arbiter of truth for X.

Goldman Sachs has warned employees to expect more rounds of job cuts as automation spreads through its departments.

AI is now being used to generate financial reports, run data models, and draft client summaries once handled by junior staff.

Executives claim this is about efficiency and accuracy, but many inside the company see a thinning of the workforce that started years ago.

Analysts, assistants, and researchers are watching AI replace the tasks they once built their careers on.

The Update:

AI and automation are becoming part of EVERY organization.

In fact, JPMorgan Chase also announced a similar strategy to Goldmann.

Freeze hiring, fire thousands.

Are you seeing this in your industry?

This week Amazon announced firing of 10% of their operations.

They also announced seasonal hiring of about 250,000 jobs.

Seasonal jobs range from $19-$23 per hour plus benefits.

The Update:

While working seasonal at Amazon may not be optimal, it can help build momentum.

If you’re struggling to navigate layoffs and a tough job market, this could be a great opportunity to get your foot in the door, meet some people, and find your next move.

Novo Nordisk started job cuts across the United States, affecting HR, marketing, legal, and research teams. This is part of a global plan to cut nine thousand roles and focus on its most profitable divisions.

Executives say AI-driven modeling and automation in clinical data have made several support roles redundant.

The company plans to reinvest in machine learning and drug development over the next two years.

The Update:

Pharma is changing.

AI is now reading data, testing molecules, and drafting reports faster than full research teams.

The opportunity is no longer in routine analysis but in managing the systems that run it.

If you can guide the tools that drive results, you become the value.

“AI will not take your job. The man who learns to use it will.”
