And I really do worry about this.
So the nature of the economy is changing.
For a long time, blue-collar work like plumbers, electricians, bricklayers has been devalued.
But it could be in the next couple of years, these are the roles that are elevated the most and that plumbers regularly earn more than lawyers.
And for the last 25 years, I've been building companies from scratch.
and I've been through the global financial crisis and COVID, but I have never experienced what we're experiencing right now.
I've never seen more fear for the disruption that is coming.
And my real bear case for AI is that every time you go on AI, your request is going off to a big computer in a Walmart-sized building somewhere, and those big ginormous computers, they last three to four years before they need to be replaced.
And this year ahead, we're going to spend $650 billion.
And that could cause a massive financial collapse.
That's the thing that I'm worried most about.
However, I've never seen more excitement for the opportunities that are in front of us.
So let's talk about in a world of AI, what are the skills that survive?
So I really believe that everyone should build a little bit of a personal brand.
Not like to become an influencer, but position yourself with a group of people who know who you are and know what you do and could enroll you in their opportunity.
Second one, if there's one skill set that everyone should be learning at the moment, it's how do entrepreneurs think?
How do entrepreneurs behave?
What are the skills that make an entrepreneur successful?
And entrepreneurs just simply follow six steps and we do it over and over and over again and we'll go through the six steps.
Well, my background for the last 25 years has been building companies from scratch and I've been through the dot-com and I've been through global financial crisis and I've been through Brexit and COVID.
