What does education, career reinvention, and lifelong learning look like in the age of AI? On the FYM Show, Ty Baisden and Yoh Phillips break down why continued education can still be a powerful tool for career growth, credibility, upward mobility, and long-term success in an increasingly competitive workforce.
Ty shares his personal experience returning to school for his master’s degree from 2019–2021 and explains how he used the COVID-19 pandemic as an opportunity to focus on education and professional development. He also discusses investing approximately $20,000–$25,000 out of pocket to meet NFL certification requirements, comparing that investment with an alternative path that would have required seven years of professional experience.
The conversation explores whether AI will make traditional education less valuable or create even more opportunities for people willing to learn and adapt. Ty and Yoh discuss how artificial intelligence is transforming the workplace, creating new career paths, automating business operations, and becoming an increasingly important part of virtually every industry.
They also tackle the risks of using AI as a shortcut in school. While AI can help people work faster, they argue that real education still requires reading, critical thinking, understanding, and the ability to make informed decisions. Knowing how to use AI is valuable, but knowing why and when to use it may be even more important.
From graduate school and professional certifications to online learning platforms like edX, Ty and Yoh explore how education can become a strategic investment in your future rather than simply a credential.
