About this listen

The Information Age brought prosperity, access, and knowledge to billions. But that era is ending. In this episode, I argue that the Information Age has already given way to a new era: The Augmentation Age.

We no longer need to know everything—AI tools and digital memory hold that for us. Knowledge workers are being replaced. Google doesn’t send us to information; it delivers the answer. Designers, coders, lawyers, and writers are being augmented—or automated.

So what’s next? We explore the new economy of augmented labor—where hands-on skills matter again, trades thrive, and entrepreneurs are free to build leaner, faster businesses with AI as their co-pilot. I share how we’re already augmenting our bodies and minds—digitally, chemically, and mechanically—and what this means for the future of work, leadership, and strategy.

Whether you're a business owner, coach, or creative, this episode will help you understand what's ending—and what to do next.

🔧 Topics covered:

  • Why the knowledge economy is fading
  • How AI is replacing—but also empowering—creators
  • Why labor and trades will thrive
  • What entrepreneurs should automate first
  • The power of early adoption in the Augmentation Age

📌 Takeaway:

You don’t need to fear AI—you need to build with it. Systemize, automate, and get ahead of the curve.
