Surviving AI – Navigating AI Job Displacement and Automation
Join Carlo Thompson on Surviving AI, your definitive resource for understanding AI job displacement and mastering AI survival strategies. This podcast breaks down complex artificial intelligence trends affecting jobs and offers practical guidance on skill development and navigating job automation challenges. With expert insights and structured content, listeners are equipped to protect their careers and capitalize on new opportunities in the changing economy.
Surviving AI delivers:
✓ Early warning signs your job is vulnerable
✓ Skills that AI can't replicate (yet)
✓ Career pivots that protect your income
✓ Geographic arbitrage strategies for the AI economy
✓ Real case studies from the automation frontlines
✓ The truth about "AI will create more jobs than it destroys."
This is a structured, season-by-season curriculum — not a news recap. Seasons 1–2 cover the foundations: automation risk, protected careers, skilled trades, corporate survival, and business ownership. Season 3 goes deeper into strategic positioning — where to live, where to invest your energy, and how the map of opportunity is being redrawn.
For professionals who'd rather adapt than be replaced — regardless of industry.
This isn't fear-mongering. It's a wake-up call. Because hope isn't a strategy, but preparation is.
New episodes weekly.
