Why I Chose Podcasting & What I Learned after 100 #SocialZoomFactor Episodes!

It's official. We have hit 100 episodes of the Social Zoom Factor podcast! Little did I know when I set out to test the media waters with podcasting July, 2014 how much I would fall in love with the medium.

We did the research and had solid plans for how to integrate podcasting into our business model, ensure we were providing value for our existing social communities and strategically align to overall business and life objectives. We knew the future of podcasting was bright and wanted to be at the forefront of the movement to audio.

I had no idea though that myself and our online community, customers, friends and partners would like it so much that I wouldn't even need to publish a regular blog post for over 7 months!

AI will replace tasks and compress certain roles, especially entry-level and output based work. But leadership, accountability, and strategic judgement remain deeply human responsibilities. It's human plus machines. The power of AI is mind and machine working together.

What kind of jobs are most at risk from AI?

Jobs that rely heavily on repeatable output, predictable processes, and low-context decision-making are most vulnerable.
