Is GenAI helping creatives do more, or making them worry about their jobs?

In this episode of the Building Financial Fitness podcast, Junus chats with Jayce Tham from CreativesAtWork, a freelance-led agency that’s been supporting creatives since 2012.

They talk about how freelancing has changed over the years, especially after COVID, and how creatives are reacting to the rise of AI tools. Some are excited, some are nervous, and many are still figuring it out.

“GenAI has the potential to help any creative push the boundaries and make us even more creative than before,” says Jayce, encouraging creators to see AI as a collaborator, not a competitor.

They also get into copyright concerns, originality, and why building a strong personal brand and community can help protect your work in the digital age.

What does it really mean to stay relevant at work as we age? In this episode, Junus sits down with Nancy Yu to explore how ageism quietly shapes hiring decisions, leadership roles, and workplace culture. Nancy shares insights from her experience in corporate turnarounds, offering practical ways companies and individuals can rethink age, value, and career longevity.

They discuss how government incentives and flexible job design can support age diversity, and why staying connected to the frontlines matters more than ever. Nancy also reflects on the power of curiosity and personal agency, reminding us, “If you have to explain to people where you bring value, maybe it’s time to reposition yourself.”

This conversation offers a fresh perspective on navigating career transitions and challenges outdated assumptions about age and work.

What if success isn’t about chasing the next big thing, but about knowing when to slow down and shift gears?

In this episode of Building Financial Fitness, Derek Tan, co-founder of Viddsee, is back to chat about how life and work change over time.

As Derek puts it, “If I follow my passion, money will come. If I follow the money, it may not appear.” His story is a great reminder that sometimes the best moves come from tuning in to what really matters, not just what looks good on paper.
