Listen Later

In this eye-opening conversation, George and Matt dissect the viral internal email from Fiverr's CEO that bluntly warned employees: 

"AI is coming for your jobs" – and explore what this means for entrepreneurs, employees, and the future of work.

The co-hosts dive into the hard truths about AI's rapid transformation of the workplace:

  • Why the Fiverr CEO's candid warning triggered such a massive online reaction
  • How AI is already eliminating entire job categories – from logo designers to content writers
  • Why entrepreneurs are uniquely positioned to benefit while employees face growing uncertainty
  • The shift from large teams to "sovereign builders" who leverage global talent and AI tools
  • Why trust, connections, and domain expertise are becoming more valuable than technical skills alone

George shares how his company downsized from 14 people to just 5 while maintaining output through AI integration, while Matt reveals how development workflows that once required large teams can now be accomplished by a handful of skilled people with the right tools.

This conversation offers a balanced perspective on a transformative moment – acknowledging the short-term pain for workers while highlighting the unprecedented opportunities for creators, builders and those willing to adapt. 

As George points out, "the water is already boiling" – making this essential listening for anyone concerned about their professional future in the AI age.
