What's Ahead
If I could assign 1 word to 2025, it would be adapt.
It’s very difficult to adapt new workflows and tools.
I’m 42, and the idea of going back to college is not appealing.
That said, we don’t need to go to college to learn and implement new skills.
One of my clients is implementing sophisticated Marketing and Sales funnels.
We’re preparing to launch AI chatbots to reduce website bounce rate, support SDRs, and increase meeting conversions.
It comes down to a simple concept.
What got you to where you are today, won’t get you to where you want to go next.
Take a moment and think about where you want to go, and how technology can help you get there.

WSJ: AI Slows Down, Bills Keep Rising
OpenAI | Sam Altman
Reports show progress in AI is slowing as training costs rise and upgrades bring smaller gains.
MIT studies found 95 percent of rushed projects failed, forcing companies to use the systems already in place.
The Update:
If you stop learning while the job changes, you put everything on the line.
Skills grow old, checks get smaller, and the stress follows you home when bills pile up.
Keep yourself safe by practicing one tool every day, track the difference it makes, and make sure your boss knows it.
That keeps your income steady and your family protected.

AWS CEO: Firing Juniors For AI is Dumb
Amazon Cloud CEO | Matt Gurman
Amazon Web Services chief Matt Garman called replacing junior staff with AI the dumbest idea he has ever heard.
He said younger workers often learn AI the fastest and cutting them weakens the future workforce. Around eight in ten AWS developers already use AI at work.
The Update:
Men, when junior jobs disappear, your future is at risk.
No new blood means fewer promotions, heavier hours for you, and a paycheck that struggles to keep up with bills.
Protect your ground by backing entry roles and showing that training younger workers on AI keeps the team strong and income secure.
Pass this on, another man needs it today.
