The landscape of our working world is shifting dramatically. From the rise of gig-economy positions to the increased use of AI tools at work, the dynamics of our employment paradigms are being rewritten.

Today, Albert and Steph take a deep dive into the “Gutenberg moments” of our time - the revolutionary moments of disruptive innovation that irrevocably change the landscape of life and work. They discuss how these moments are less about the inventions themselves and more about the societal shifts they represent.

As we approach a series of “Gutenberg moments”— notably the escalating utilization of automation and AI tools — the potential impact on employment as we know it is dramatic. As the type of work that can be done by, or aided by, machines continues to increase, being more than just competent at your job will become necessary for success. Flying under the radar will no longer suffice. You will have to stand out and demonstrate your true value. Tune in to find out how Albert and Steph recommend doing just that.  

Plus, Steph shares her take on the controversial "fire and hire fast" and why she thinks full-time employment will become less common in the coming decade.

This episode will leave you contemplating upcoming Gutenberg moments, the future of work, and what it all means for you. What do you think is in store for future employers and employees? Share your thoughts with us at [email protected].
