We live in chaotic times.
But chaos is where opportunity resides.
Companies are spending billions on AI.
HR, marketing and sales, operations, coding…
Everything is impacted.
As large companies invest massive capital into new, innovative technology.
Smaller companies will follow.
Mistakes will be made.
New problems created.
New problems need new solutions.
That’s where we come in.
Consider that every job innovation leads to displacement and new specializations.
Take this historical example of how jobs evolve from this TED Talk.
These basic hunter gatherer skills led to new specializations.
Which led to more specialization…
Which led to more specialization…
The cycle of specialization from new technology has happened many times in history.
AI fundamentally changes many of the current job roles.
But…
It creates massive opportunity and new specializations to explore.
Find specific solutions, to specific problems, for specific industries, for specific customer types.
Find your niche.

Mark Cuban Rejects Claims AI Will Kill Software Jobs
Mark Cuban
There is a growing narrative that AI will wipe out software roles.
Mark Cuban pushed back publicly.
He pointed to a number people overlook. There are over 30 million businesses in the United States. Most do not have the expertise to deploy AI systems properly.
Someone still has to design architecture, connect tools, secure infrastructure, and translate business problems into functioning systems.
AI can generate code. But it cannot automatically understand a company’s operations, compliance requirements, or customer behavior.
Demand is concentrating around people who understand integration and business logic.
Where you operate in that hierarchy determines how exposed you are.

Microsoft’s AI boss: AI can replace white-collar jobs in 18 months
Microsoft AI chief executive Mustafa Suleyman
Mustafa Suleyman, Microsoft’s AI leader, said AI could reach human level performance across most professional tasks within 12 to 18 months. He referenced law, accounting, marketing, and project management.
That projection reflects how leadership inside major AI platforms sees capability growth. Structured screen based work is the easiest category to automate.
If drafting, analysis, forecasting, and documentation are handled at high speed, output per employee increases significantly.
When output increases sharply, workforce math changes inside companies.
This becomes a productivity calculation.

Klarna CEO Says Workforce Could Drop Below 2,000
Klarna CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski
Klarna currently employs about 3,000 people. The CEO expects that number to fall below 2,000 by 2030.
