The AI revolution isn’t coming—it’s already here. In 2025 alone, over 76,000 professionals have already lost their jobs to automation. Are you next?

In this comprehensive recap of Season 1: The Reality Check, we distill the data-driven insights from our first six episodes to give you a clear-eyed look at the shifting employment landscape. From the "Entry-Level Massacre" to the surprising vulnerability of white-collar degrees, we break down exactly how AI is restructuring the global economy and what you must do to survive.

What We Covered in This Season Recap:

  • The 88% Risk (Episode 1): Why retail cashiers are the "canary in the coal mine" for all digital professionals, and how to spot the patterns of mature technology meeting economic incentive.
  • The Degree Paradox (Episode 2): Why your college education might actually make you more vulnerable to AI than a skilled tradesperson, and the introduction of the Four Protection Factors (Physical Unpredictability, Empathy, High-Stakes Judgment, and Regulatory Barriers) .
  • The Disruption Timeline (Episode 3): A month-by-month breakdown of job disappearance phases from now through 2035. If your work involves data entry or junior-level research, your 36-month countdown has already started.
  • The Knowledge Worker Apocalypse (Episode 4): Why lawyers, data scientists, and accountants are seeing their traditional career ladders break as AI automates the "grunt work" that entry-level professionals used to perform .
  • The Entrepreneurship Boom (Episode 5): How AI is simultaneously destroying old jobs and creating a record-breaking business boom, allowing solo founders to operate with team-level capabilities.
  • The Immunity Test (Episode 6): The ultimate framework to calculate your personal Automation Risk Score. Learn how to interpret your score and whether you need an emergency career pivot or a strategic upskilling plan.


The Bottom Line: You are either adapting or becoming obsolete. This recap gives you the actionable frameworks to ensure you’re on the right side of history.
