In this episode, I walk you through eight of the biggest economic and technological shifts that are already in motion and will reshape everything by 2035. These aren’t pie-in-the-sky predictions or sci-fi dreams. These are real trends you can see unfolding right now if you’re paying attention. And more importantly, they’re not just about what’s coming—they’re about what you can do. Every disruption brings opportunity, if you’re ready to move.

This episode is focused on how these shifts affect you directly. Not from a policy angle, not from a Wall Street analyst perspective, but from the ground level where you live and work. Whether it’s AI changing your job, energy going local, or the slow death of the 40-hour workweek, I’m here to help you see what’s really happening and what you can do about it. Below are the eight shifts we cover.
