Ask and Disagree — Ep. 1: How AI Is Reshaping Our Career Paths
In the debut episode of Ask and Disagree, Angela McManoway and DJ Daugherty sit down with host/referee Beth Shaheen to wrestle with a topic everyone’s talking about but few agree on: how AI is reshaping career paths, industries, and everyday work.
From Amazon layoffs and AI-powered drive-thrus to automated banking lines and airplane wing design, the trio dives into both sides of the conversation:
Is AI eliminating jobs—or creating new ones?
Will the workforce fall behind if people refuse to use it?
Does AI make us smarter, or lazier?
How do we stay “human” when everything is automated?
What does expert knowledge mean in a world where AI can generate answers instantly?
DJ brings the tech lens: speed, efficiency, code analysis, and where human oversight still matters.
Angela brings the business view: customer experience, authenticity, job displacement, and what gets lost when humans disappear from the process.
Beth asks the provocative questions that push their perspectives—and expose where they agree (rarely) and disagree (often).
This fast-moving 30-minute episode sets the tone for the series: real conversations, real disagreements, and real insights about the future of work.
