Surviving AI – Career, Income, and Life Strategy in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Join Carlo Thompson on Surviving AI, the definitive resource for navigating AI job displacement and building a complete career, income, and life strategy for the age of artificial intelligence. This podcast breaks down the AI trends actually affecting jobs and the economy, and delivers practical guidance on skill development, career pivots, geographic positioning, and navigating automation before it navigates you. With expert insights and structured content, listeners are equipped to protect their income and capitalize on the opportunities emerging in the changing economy.
Surviving AI delivers:
✓ Early warning signs your job — or industry — 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, how to build a career-proof network, how to read the AI market's financial signals, 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.
