AI is taking my job. And I'm not talking about some nebulous point in the future. But right now, there's AI that can do the job that I've been doing for the last two decades. Cheaper, faster, probably better. My name's Adam. I've got two kids, a wife, a mortgage, and not a lot of runway to figure it out. But the viable edge is my attempt at building something new. at building a new job and a new career for myself, at putting myself out there, getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. And that's why I talk about AI fluency. AI fluency is about being competent, confident, and building the skills to allow you to excel using AI instead of being suppressed and replaced by AI. So, if you're a mid-career professional and you're not taking some effort to build these skills, I highly encourage you to take it seriously. It's difficult to stay disciplined because there's so much out there. There's so much noise. It moves so incredibly fast and there are so many exciting shiny objects that come out every single day. It's my bet and my challenge to myself that there is value in what I can create. So, if this message is resonant with you, if you're like me, mid-career trying to figure things out or not, or interested in learning and growing, I encourage you to follow, subscribe, like. There's a viable edge newsletter that I'm also building. If you have any feedback, I'd love to hear from you and I'm always open to connecting personally. Thanks for watching.
