🧐 AI Stealing Jobs? Let’s Clear It Up.

😨 Is AI Really Coming for Your Job?

I remember having coffee with a friend who runs a graphic design agency.

Her latest “hire” wasn’t a person at all. It was a custom GPT that connects to the main design tool they use. 

This tool drafts concepts, creates mockups, and handles the all the repetitive stuff most designers want to skip anyways. 

The result? 

Her human designers now spend their time on big-picture creative work instead of grunt tasks, projects get completed faster, and designers do more designing. 

YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED NEXT…

…Nobody got fired. 

Yet, everybody’s job changed.

This matches what researchers are finding everywhere. AI isn’t replacing whole jobs as much as it’s eating away at specific tasks & opening up new ones along the way.

👉 Goldman Sachs says 300 million roles will transform by 2030. But here’s the twist: while 83 million jobs might correct, about 69 million new ones will show up.

Think of it less like a wrecking ball and more like a really messy home renovation with new things the home didn’t have previously. 

👻 IMPORTANT NOTE: Some Jobs Will Disappear

• Shopify now makes managers prove they need a human before they can post any job opening.
• Duolingo let go of entire contractor teams and replaced them with AI content creators.
• Wall Street analysts predict 200,000 finance jobs will vanish in the next five years as banks automate their back offices.

But here’s what surprises me. 

I’m not seeing executives celebrating as they clear out cubicles. Instead, they’re staring at a different problem: 120 million workers need new skills in the next three years. That’s like filling a stadium the size of Mexico’s largest venue twelve times over.

Training budgets that used to be afterthoughts? 

Now, they’re exploding.💥

Microsoft just committed $3.5 billion to teach people AI skills. 

The reason is simple: math. 

Teaching your current team new tricks costs way less than finding and hiring all new people – because people still need to train AI.

Digging the research? Here’s more:

• 40% of jobs will change somehow because of AI
• 60% of big companies are teaching their people new skills right now
• Healthcare workers using AI spend 30% more time actually talking with patients

Notice something? These aren’t job loss numbers. They’re job change numbers.

🍿 New Jobs Nobody Saw Coming

Five years ago, these jobs barely existed. Now companies scramble to fill them:

• AI Trainers – People who teach AI systems to work better.
• Automation Architects – They figure out which tasks to hand to AI and which to keep human.
• AI Ethics Managers – Someone has to make sure the robots play fair.
• Human Experience Designers – They make sure technology feels friendly, not frightening.
• AI Implementation Experts – This is what I do – and I’ve never been in more demand.

So, how do you ride all this change and come out on top?

🗺️ Your Personal AI-Proof Action Plan

1. Embrace it
AI isn’t coming for your job – it’s coming for the tasks. 

Start noticing where it can help. Writing. Scheduling. Sorting. Don’t resist it, use it.

2. Learn to work with it
The real skill? Knowing how to collaborate with AI. Try one thing this week:

• Write a better prompt (link) 🔗
• Test an AI tool (link) 🔗
• Watch how your industry is using it

You don’t need to be an expert. You just need to be curious.

3. Automate and reinvest
Free up your time by automating one repetitive task. Then use that extra hour to level up and learn something only a human can do better.

You got this. 💪

🚀 What Our Community Is Building

I launched this newsletter after realizing that most AI chatter was just noise, tweets with no proof, “experts” with no shipping record.

What I craved (and couldn’t find) was a signal-rich space where entrepreneurs and leaders could see how real people are turning the latest AI trends into live products.

Where they can share the exact tools that moved the needle, and push each other to go further. 

Join me and you’ll step into monthly live office hours where I stay until every roadblock is solved, daily micro-demos that surface the only tools worth testing, and an open brain trust of founders, devs, marketers, and nonprofit leaders who trade templates, shortcuts, and collaboration invites in real time.

Thursday (July 10th) is the LAST day to join with the the relaunch special I’m offering at a generous 40% off – use code CFNWGSBG to join me and everyone else on the inside.
