In this solo episode, I break down the narrative around AI “killing” the outsourcing industry - from the perspective of someone actively running an outsourcing company in Canada. There’s a lot of noise around rapid disruption, but the reality on the ground looks very different.

I unpack why AI adoption is progressing slower than most headlines suggest, where it’s actually making an impact today, and where human work still holds a clear advantage. More importantly, I explore how teams and businesses can start integrating AI into everyday workflows—enhancing productivity instead of fearing replacement.

This episode is a grounded take on adaptation: how to stay relevant, build alongside emerging tools, and making smarter decisions in a landscape that’s constantly evolving.
