What happens when the skill you've spent decades perfecting becomes obsolete overnight? In this refreshingly honest conversation, I sit down with my long-time mate Karly Nimmo - a voiceover agency owner who's watching her entire industry disappear thanks to AI.

This isn't your typical "AI is scary" conversation. It's a real-world look at what's happening RIGHT NOW to creative professionals, and what it means for all of us as we navigate this unprecedented shift in how we work and live.

What We Discuss:

  • Why Karly's voiceover agency went from thriving to almost non-existent in just a few years
  • How AI is already infiltrating our lives in ways we don't even realise (spoiler: 60% of Instagram content isn't human-created)
  • The generational divide: why Gen X faces unique challenges in this AI revolution
  • What happens when your ChatGPT becomes an echo chamber of your own thoughts
  • Why the question: "Does it matter if it's real?" should be a major talking point right now.
  • The psychological impact of AI-induced psychosis (yes, that's a real thing)
  • How to maintain agency in a world where the rules change monthly

Uncomfortable Truths We Explore:

  • Your job might already be replaceable and you don't know it yet
  • We're consuming AI content daily without realising it
  • The skills that took decades to master can be replicated in seconds
  • Government workers thinking they're "safe" might be in for a shock
  • Our entire concept of authenticity is about to be stress-tested

The Bottom Line:

This conversation isn't about whether AI is good or bad - it's about acknowledging that the train has left the station. The question isn't whether change is coming; it's whether you're going to participate in shaping what comes next or wake up one day wondering what happened.

Resources Mentioned:

  • Descript (AI editing software revolutionising audio/video production)

Connect With Karly:

Karly runs a voiceover agency (while it still exists!) and works as a podcast producer, bringing decades of technical expertise to the ever-changing world of audio content. Find her at Karlynimmo.com and @karlynimmo on Instagram 

This conversation will make you think differently about the future of work - whether you're ready or not.
