Upskill For The AI Economy
Send us Fan Mail AI is rewriting job descriptions, and a lot of people hear the same scary message: start over or get left behind. We see it differently. If you’ve spent 10, 20, or 30 years building real expertise, AI does not erase that. It can amplify it, as long as you learn the right pieces at the right time. We tell a short story that still sticks with us: meeting a young man in Africa wearing a Stanford shirt, only to learn he wasn’t showing off a thrift-store find. He was actually tak...

Tacit Knowledge Vs AI
Send us Fan Mail We break down the hidden mechanism that lets AI absorb office work by converting tacit knowledge into codified knowledge. A simple request to write a standard operating procedure becomes the moment human judgment turns into machine readable rules, with entry level roles taking the first hit. • defining tacit knowledge as unwritten intuition built through experience • showing how SOPs and flowcharts force messy judgment into rigid steps • explaining codified ...

Send us Fan Mail AI careers are changing fast, and the biggest opportunities in 2026 are not limited to people who can code.

We also make the shift from “AI jobs” as a narrow technical category to a wider set of collaborat...

How To Turn A Five Minute AI Plan Into Reality
Send us Fan Mail A five minute AI plan can look flawless, then explode the moment real humans touch it. We dig into why that happens and how to prevent it, especially as teams rush to automate, optimize, and “move fast” with generative AI in the workplace. We start with a broken workflow and the kind of AI-generated optimization plan that feels impossible to ignore: clean steps, crisp logic, and instant momentum. Then we confront the real problem AI often cannot see, the unwritten rules and ...
