I am building the definitive online course to help people made redundant by cuts (AI, DOGE, recession) build competitive brands. I’ve reverse-engineered our proprietary agency process to support shoestring startups.
This is well documented -- people in middle management are being impacted first (the people who spend their day going to meetings, creating reports, and forwarding emails. Amazon announced 16,000 cuts due to AI today. Plus all the govt-related jobs -- 4300 from CDC in 2025 (people who live near Rick and me). People will start businesses in fields unrelated to their current employment—from dog walkers to hot tub installers. Because I'm in a creative field -- and AI synthesizes but doesn't create -- I monitor its impact on critical thinking, discernment, originality, and out-of-the-box thinking. Time will tell. Thanks.
