You’ve spent decades building a career — but AI is changing everything faster than you can blink. In this episode of The Middle-Aged & Miserable Podcast, Pat and Chris reveal how to adapt before the machines make you obsolete.
AI isn’t coming — it’s already here. From emails to contracts to entire departments, automation is reshaping how we work and earn. If you’re 40-plus and stuck in the grind, this episode will show you how to turn AI from a threat into your biggest advantage. You’ll learn why entry-level roles are vanishing, which skills still matter most (hint: they’re human), and how to build AI-driven income streams that secure your future.
Pat and Chris break down the timeline of human progress — from language to printing press to internet to AI — and what it means for our generation. They share practical steps to audit your career, learn AI tools, and even launch your own one-person business powered by automation. Because standing still is no longer an option.
If you’ve ever felt trapped in a job that’s slowly being automated, this is your wake-up call. Start learning AI now — before it decides for you.
What You’ll Learn Today
• How AI will reshape jobs by 2030 (and why it’s not doom)
• The skills that machines can’t copy — and how to leverage them
• Why adaptability beats a college degree in the AI era
• How to turn AI into an income multiplier
