For me, the financial crisis is how few people are actually making enough money to make ends meet.
The financial crisis is that there are so many businesses, 35 million in the U.S.
alone, and yet less than 200,000 make more than a million dollars.
And if less than 200,000 make over a million dollars and the average margin of a business is 8.5%,
you just, you're circling the drain as to how much money people are actually making.
It seems like there's so much money because of social media.
And there are team members who work in organizations that make more than $60,000 a year, but people are actually making less money than I think society believes because of the proliferation of content creation.
And so this crisis to me has much more to do with how do we get people skills that they need
With our life expectancy in total looking like it's going to be longer based off of the different treatments that are coming out due to AI in healthcare, in genomics.
I think the most important financial information is actually that money matters.
And if money matters, how are you spending your time today, tomorrow, the next day to get skills and to do things that generate money?
And if you can align your time with making more money, instead of thinking that it's some fixed resource or there is some scarcity around it, you could actually increase the top line because you can save your way to the bottom, right?
but you get to the bottom.
There's no abundance in the bottom.
So what are the skills?
Like if I was somebody that was trying to earn more money today, I would go onto one of the AI platforms and say, this is the set of skills that I have.
These are the set of interests that I have.
This is the current job that I hold, what I do for work.
And my goal is to increase my income
between now and 12 months from now, by $100,000.
