The AI Tsunami Is Coming

Episode 004: The AI Labor Tsunami Is Coming

AI isn’t coming for jobs someday—it’s reshaping work right now.

In this episode, Andy Olen breaks down why massive AI investment demands massive productivity gains, and why that creates real risk for corporate professionals, especially managers and directors. Drawing on insights from Davos and real-world examples across customer care, finance, and HR, Andy explains how the labor market is quietly being reshaped before the wave hits shore, and what middle managers need to do to find higher ground.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

- Why AI is the largest infrastructure build-out in human history
- How productivity gains translate into fewer roles—or harder one
- The difference between “red alert” job loss and “yellow alert” job erosion
- Why middle management is especially exposed to the AI tsunami
- What “higher ground” looks like in an AI-driven economy and what leaders need to do to get there.

The takeaway:

Waiting is risky. Standing on the beach is dangerous.
Diversifying your skills, income, and career path now is the smartest move you can make.

Solopreneurship, portfolio careers, and self-wealth aren’t side projects anymore... they’re career insurance.

Remember: A bet on yourself is the best bet you can make.
