Will AI Take Your Job? The Truth About Work, Marketing, and Staying Valuable in 2026

AI is changing everything, and I don’t mean “someday.” I sat down with my longtime friend Matt Rouse, a digital marketer and author who’s been ahead of the curve for years, to talk about what’s actually happening right now.
