True story: when I was laid off during Covid, I did contract work for a contingent workforce management company (software and services to manage contract workers). Business projections were through the roof for this field.

This was before AI. It’s simple really… the social contract with work has changed. Pensions were replaced with 401ks and 401ks will be replaced with the freedoms that come with contract work.

health benefits not included

AI is an accelerant for all the above

Brian, you’re speaking my language. I’ve been a solopreneur since being laid off in 2020 and am so glad I don’t have to fear being replaced by AI. Instead, I’m building my future around it by helping people learn to manage AI-induced stress. It’s a work in progress, but I know I’m on to something.

Thanks for being a solopreneur advocate and defender.
