AI Won’t Save You, Skills Will

If your power went out tomorrow, how long could you actually last?

I brought my friend Zach Hanson on because his new book, The Trade Gap: Break the Rules, Learn a Skill, Own Your Future, hits a nerve we all feel right now: AI is exploding, knowledge jobs are fragile, and most of us ditched the hands-on skills that keep a society running.

We get real about layoffs, resilience, and why learning a trade (or any tangible skill) can be the smartest hedge you make this decade.

From welding certifications at night to entrepreneurial playbooks on the job site, this is a roadmap for anyone who wants options when the economy shifts. No doom, just practical moves you can make today.
