THE RULES CHANGED…

AI isn't just changing jobs. It's changing the rules of work.

Every week brings another headline about layoffs, automation, and the future of work—but what's actually happening beneath the hype?

This week, we sit down with Gary Bolles, global fellow at Singularity University, author of The Next Rules of Work, and one of the world's leading thinkers on the future of work, to separate signal from noise.

Together, we explore:

• Why AI isn't the biggest disruption—it's the pace of change.

• Why young professionals may face the greatest challenges (and opportunities).

• What parents, educators, and leaders need to rethink.

• Why the "career ladder" is dead—and what replaces it.

• How organizations can become more human-centered instead of more automated.

• The skills, mindset, and agency we'll all need to navigate what's next.

This isn't a conversation about fearing AI. It's a conversation about building careers, organizations, and communities that are resilient no matter how technology evolves.

If you've been wondering what work looks like over the next decade—and what you should do about it—this episode is for you.
