Expertise is dying. Trust and connection are ascending. How will we win when value in society flips upside down?
The discussion highlights the immediate professional impact of AI, sharing how community members Joy Purdy (a sleep analyst) and Kelly Boesch are being contacted by Oscar nominees and Hollywood screenwriters for their innovative video work. The key insight is that future success isn't about mastering specific software; it’s about understanding what you want and using AI as an enabler to amplify deeply personal stories and passions. Kyle notes that this authentic, quality-driven approach is what attracts major industry attention.

Kyle, Ann, and Donnie emphasize the value of their supportive AI learning community, which celebrates both total beginners and recognized experts equally. They also discuss how generative AI is transforming career paths, sharing the story of one member who, after getting certified, was tapped to create the internal AI curriculum for her multinational company.
