Amazon CEO Andy Jassy just dropped a bombshell: mass layoffs are "the new reality." In this Halloween episode of Boss Mode, we explore what happens when AI and robotics fundamentally transform the economy—from autonomous business creation to humanoid robots in your home.

David Lee (Co-Founder, Vanka AI) and Dee Deng (Founder, Hook Digital) discuss how AI is reshaping agencies, what founders should do after getting laid off, and why the top 1% of every industry needs to stop resting on their laurels. Plus: the wild future of miniature robots, AI-powered investment funds, and why Meta knows everything about you (but might still get it wrong).
