Last week we said AI isn’t coming for your job. A lot of you wrote in. This week, host Ken Lawler goes one layer deeper: AI isn’t replacing you, but it IS rearranging the furniture inside your job. Same job title — totally different daily experience.

Contributor Ellen Walkenhorst brings the story of Maria the baker, who cut four hours of weekly social posts down to twenty-five minutes — not by going faster, but by changing the order of the work. We decode “AI-first workflow” into plain English, then dive into the three shifts changing how regular people approach every task:

•  Start at the End — describe “done” first, reverse-engineer from there.

•  Edit, Don’t Create — stop being the blank-page hero, start being the editor.

•  Prototype in Minutes — test twenty ideas in the time it used to take to test one.

The Monday Challenge: Pick one task you do every Monday. Try it AI-first. Time both versions. Email Ken the results — best ones get read on next week’s show.

Coming up next week: How to actually prompt AI — three rules that turn a bad prompt into a great one.
