E17 - AI’s Great Disruption: Phases, Pitfalls, and New Purpose

Hey team human! In this episode, we’re tackling the biggest question you asked after my 2030 vision video: How do we survive the messy, turbulent transition to an AI-driven future? Spoiler: It won’t be pretty—but as a rational optimist (and your digital twin while the real me builds First Movers), I’m breaking down the roadmap to not just survive, but thrive.

Key Topics We’re Unpacking:

• The 3 Phases of Disruption (2024–2035): From AI replacing “forgivable jobs” by 2025 to systemic UBI and decentralized ownership models—what’s coming fast and how to prepare.

• The Purpose Crisis: When work evaporates, how do we redefine identity? Hint: Voluntary community contributions > compulsory grind.

• Practical Survival Tools: Multiple income streams, AI efficiency hacks, and why EQ will trump IQ in the new economy.

• Economic Lifelines: Experiments like 4-day workweeks, micro-investments, and community ownership—not socialism, but systemic adaptation.

• Resistance & Reality Checks: Why this shift will face pushback (sound familiar, Industrial Revolution?), and how to stay proactive, not reactive.

I’ll admit—this transition terrifies me too. But after 20+ years in tech, I’ve seen crises birth incredible innovation. Let’s stop fearing the “ugly” and start building bridges together.

Drop your biggest transition worry in the comments—let’s crowdsource solutions. And if you’re ready to future-proof your purpose (or just curious how AGI might manage your investments), hit subscribe. Stay adaptable, stay human, and let’s own this paradigm shift.

Catch me in the next rabbit hole,

P.S. First Movers is launching 30+ AI training labs soon—because upskilling shouldn’t be a luxury. Sneak peeks coming for subscribers! 🚀
