How do you build a meaningful career when AI is rewriting the future of work? In this episode, I sit down with New York Times investigative reporter Jodi Kantor to talk about why so many young professionals feel discouraged about the future, and how digital shifts are reshaping our modern workplaces. Jodi shares how she survived getting fired from her college paper and dropping out of law school, and how those setbacks paved her way back to journalism. We also dive deep into the realities of AI-driven hiring, the loss of workplace autonomy, and the formula for reclaiming your agency. Get ready to rethink what it truly takes to protect your career in a rapidly changing world.Check out our sponsors:Shopify - Sign up for a $1 per month trial, just go to shopify.com/anxiousachieverChime - Head to chime.com/achiever to sign upMonarch - Use code ACHIEVER at monarch.com to get 50% off your first yearPhysician’s Choice - Use code PCPODCAST10 at physicianschoice.com to get 10% off your entire orderWhatnot - Get free shipping on your first order.
