SHOW NOTES

- **💼 Media Hype vs. Reality:** "AI is replacing engineers!" screams the news—but *53%* of layoffs were engineers… meaning *47%* weren’t. So why is *no one* talking about the rest? 🤔
- **🎯 Who’s *Really* at Risk?** Spoiler: *All* knowledge workers (HR, sales, creatives, even *you*). The focus on coders is a *smokescreen*.
- **📉 The Brutal Math:** Layoffs aren’t about AI stealing jobs—it’s about *doing more with less*. Stagnant company? You’re on the chopping block. 💸
- **✨ Flip the Script:** AI isn’t your enemy—it’s your *unfair advantage*. 71% of bosses would hire a *junior* with AI skills over a senior without them. 🏆
- **🧠 Future-Proof Now:** Tech + AI skills = today’s survival toolkit. Even *basics* make you indispensable. Wait too long? *You’ll regret it.*

**🔥 The Mic Drop Moment:**
*"If AI only replaced coders… why did nearly *half* of Microsoft’s layoffs target *non*-engineers? Think. 

**💡 Your Survival Guide:**
- **Dream Bigger:** AI won’t end careers—*complacency* will.
- **Justify the Fear:** Yes, it’s chaotic… but you *can* outsmart it.
- **Reject BS:** The media’s narrative? *Dead wrong.* Common sense is all you need.

**🎧 Tune in for the full breakdown**—and learn how to *win* in the AI era, not just survive. 👇

*(P.S. The best time to skill up was yesterday. The second-best? *Right now.*)
