Is AI Really Coming for Your Job?
In this myth-busting episode of the TSG Podcast, host Adam Feuerstein flips the script on AI fear-mongering and reveals the extraordinary opportunities this technology presents for entrepreneurs.
Citing World Economic Forum data showing that AI will create 170 million new jobs while displacing only 92 million, Adam makes a compelling case for embracing—rather than fearing—this technological revolution. He also shares practical strategies for leveraging AI in business operations, including a personal example of how AI reduced his podcast prep time from 16 hours to just 15 minutes.
The TSG mission centers on democratizing AI—keeping this powerful utility accessible to everyone, not just concentrated in the hands of a few. This approach ensures the technology remains beneficial for all entrepreneurs, regardless of size or resources.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
AI is coming.
It's ruthless, relentless andit's gunning for your job, or is
it?
Today, we're tearing down thefear of your future with AI.
Welcome to the podcast today.
This is the Total Sum Game.
(00:21):
I'm your host, Adam Fierstein,and we're taking head on today
the real impact of AI as we moveinto the future.
You've been told many thingsand many things have not all
been true.
We want to put this into betterperspective and turn fear into
a positive mindset and anunderstanding of huge,
monumental opportunity for everyone of us moving forward.
(00:43):
In today's episode, we're goingto tackle the fear of AI.
We're going to realize what thetrue opportunity is and that
the fact is, the future for us,the future for humanity, holds
more prosperity than it ever hasin any point in history.
You know, here at TSC we're allabout helping entrepreneurs.
We're here to help assist,provide guidance and powerful
(01:05):
utility to entrepreneursstarting their business or
starting a new part of theirbusiness where they integrate AI
into their operations.
We see the prosperity in thistechnology and we also
understand it's not goinganywhere.
It's not going anywhere foranybody.
Truth is, there's moreopportunity now than ever.
At the end of this episode,check out TSG totalsomegamecom
(01:27):
and see about taking a class foryourself on what you think you
might be able to learn and howyou might be able to harness
this technology to bringprosperity to you and your
family.
I understand how scary thistopic can be for some people.
There's rumors abound, there'snews stories seemingly every 10
minutes, talking about the fearof the impact of AI to all of us
(01:49):
, in particularly to usprofessionally, and our
abilities to create resource forourselves and provide for our
families.
It is going to change, andchange is always a little bit
scary and I completelyunderstand.
But the truth of the matter iswe've just got to look a little
bit deeper.
Just push away some of this.
Well, I'm just going to call itwhat it is it's propaganda
(02:10):
about the and this fearmongering over this technology.
We've seen this kind of theguys my age or older have seen
this before, right, and we sawit when the internet was coming
along.
We were told that automationwas going to take away
everything and that the internetwas going to replace, you know,
good old-fashioned Americanwork ethic and the future was
going to be a totally differentfuture than anything we had ever
(02:30):
thought of before.
But those aren't the facts.
It's just simply categoricallyfalse.
Truth of the matter is, this isa utility to humanity the likes
of which we've never seenbefore.
It's part of our mission here atTSG to keep this technology to
the masses and ensure that itnever becomes held by a
(02:50):
concentrated group of people.
This is important because Ibelieve deeply that when you
keep anything, and certainlytechnology, power, wealth,
whatever democratized, meaningaccessible to everybody, that it
stays benevolent, it stays inthe best interest of humanity.
A lot of times these kind ofthings, as powerful as AI is,
(03:13):
only become corrupt because theyget concentrated to a very
small group of people.
That concentrates that power,and that power almost invariably
not completely, but almostinvariably throughout history
corrupts.
But this, this in particular,has started out slightly
differently.
It started out, of course, inthe very beginning.
It was a very expensiveresource, so only big
(03:34):
corporations and wealthy peoplehad access to it, but it very
quickly became democratized.
Now the trick is to keep itthat way, and the reason for it
is because we want everybody tobenefit.
So when my wife and I gottogether to start this company,
that was the ideologicalperspective that we started from
is keep this technology in thehands of the people so that
(03:56):
those who choose to always haveit to a way to create social
impact or wealth or whatever itis that they want to do with
their lives.
This brings that closer to them, brings it closer to you.
It's closer for all of us.
What's interesting is, fearsells.
We all know that right.
So clickbait is always based onsome kind of fear Not always,
(04:17):
but largely is based on fear,and certainly newsreels and
things like that are alwaysbased on fear.
I never noticed that everysingle story is somehow breaking
news, as though the sky ispreparing to fall and you better
hurry up and understand it sothat hopefully in some way you
survive.
I mean, really, if you reallysit back and pay attention, it's
almost that dramatic.
I guess I'm embellishing alittle bit, but I understand
(04:38):
that, and especially withsomething new.
Some people this technologyisn't new, but to many, many
people it is new and so it'sscary.
Right, and that makes perfectsense.
But the truth of the matter isas precise as so many media
groups have tried to target thatfear nerve in all of us.
That the truth is.
There's several statistics and Imean very powerful statistics
(05:02):
that are predicting exactly theopposite.
I have one here for you.
Here's an example the WorldEconomic Forum's 2025 Future of
Jobs Report has found that AImay displace as many as 92
million jobs.
Right, that's a scary statistic.
(05:22):
Until you hear the secondstatistic.
The same report predicts 170million new jobs will be created
as a result of the technologyby 2030.
So AI displaces 92 million andcreates 170170 million.
(05:47):
I'll give you a minute to thinkon that.
I know that's contrary to whatso many of us hear on a
day-to-day basis.
That drum has been beat againand again and again, and again
and again, but those are thefacts.
It's the basis for why thefuture and AI's impact on the
(06:07):
economic future for really theentire planet is actually pretty
bright economically speaking.
So when you say that versusfear of everybody losing their
job, we have to realizesomething If everybody loses
their job, there's nobody to buyproducts, right?
So that's really the case.
There shouldn't be any positiveprospecting going on in any
market in the world becauseeverything is about to collapse.
The truth of the matter is theopposite is occurring.
(06:29):
These statistics support that.
The truth is we know in thefuture, there'll not only be
more prosperity, but there'sgoing to be a lot more jobs as
well.
I know that's contradictory toso many things that we've heard,
but really think about that andI encourage you to do your own
research and take a look at thisfrom your perspective.
But the truth is, the trick toall of this is that we do what
the TSG has set out to do, andthat is, keep it democratized.
(06:51):
And that's what we're going todo today and that's why we want
to defeat the fear of thistechnology as it emerges more
and more into our everyday livesand certainly impacts our
professional life.
So imagine AI comes along and itreplaces, say, a
train-the-trainer type.
I've worked at a largecorporation for a very short
period of time and they had atrainer who was responsible for
training the other trainers whowas responsible for teaching,
(07:14):
essentially like the fieldoperators, right.
So AI comes along and replacesthat gentleman In this case it
was a gentleman, right.
What happens is the opportunitythere is.
Those classes become moreuniform, more effective, more
and they're in this case theywere training, largely safety
measures because it wasconstruction.
They become more consistent.
Ai sits back and monitors theoutcome, measures, the safety
(07:36):
and the performance of thebusiness, of the company, and
finds even more effective waysevery single time it's used by
the people inside that company.
Now the trainer, the headtrainer, might even, in that
case, be out of that particularjob, but he gets trained in AI.
He gets a whole new resource, awhole new way, a whole new
(08:00):
skill by working with AI fromthat perspective.
So he then becomes the guy whocreates the AI initiatives, that
start the programs, that trainthe other people, he monitors it
, he creates reports from it,and not only can he do this for
one company, he can do this fora multitude of companies,
because once that program isestablished, he can repeat it
(08:22):
again and again and again.
So he loses his job per se inthis particular scenario, but he
learns from that experience.
Instead of running away andbeing bitter at the technology
that replaced his employment, heputs himself in a position
where he can leverage that sametechnology, provide the same
service, and do it on a muchlarger scale.
(08:43):
This is how we go from losing$92 million jobs to creating
$170 million.
Think about that.
What an incredible utility thisaccess to collective human
wisdom To entrepreneurs.
It's incredible.
Imagine I can only imagine inmy first business if I would
have had a resource like thiswhere I could model things out.
(09:05):
I could interact with somethingthat has infinitely more
knowledge than I do, infinitemore access to history
Essentially, experience that Ilacked.
I was 26 or 27, I think.
When I started my first companyman, I didn't know anything.
I had a master electrician'slicense and that was it, and had
to jump into the industry andsink or swim and it was painful
(09:27):
and it's hard, extremely hard.
To those of you who are outthere right now and they're in
that struggle, you know there'sa utility here.
Don't be afraid of it, embraceit, go to it, see how you can
use it.
Don't be you won't be enslavedby this anymore than you're
enslaved by a screwdriver or ahammer in your toolbox, but
rather use it to put yourselfinto a position where you can
(09:48):
become successful faster thanyou ever thought imaginable for
because you have access to thecollective wisdom that comes
from all the other people'sexperience.
People ask me many times how doI know about business?
I didn't go to business college.
I don't have any formalbusiness training at all.
What I used to tell people is Ilearned through prison sex, and
(10:09):
of course they look at you andwonder what you did to end up in
prison.
I've never been to prison in myentire life.
But I have been screwed againstmy will a lot, and that's what
I mean in that kind of sillylittle metaphor.
That's how I had to learn rightby trying something, failing at
it and having to pay theconsequence.
If I'd had something like this,where I could have told it,
talked to it, utilized it as anexperiment before I actually
(10:32):
engaged in whatever thatactivity was a new project, a
new job, a new employee, a newcost item, a new revenue stream,
whatever it was or whatever itcould be and model that out and
get feedback from essentiallycollective wisdom, man, the
amount of pain I could haveavoided and the way I could have
accelerated into success, Ican't even imagine.
(10:52):
And that's the opportunity thatwe have today.
To me, that doesn't sound likefear.
To me, that sounds like lookingdown into something that we
don't know about and figuringout how to master it.
Isn't that what we do asentrepreneurs?
We come up with an idea, we puta business together A lot of us
are good at a craft or a tradeor a skill or something and then
(11:14):
we try to formulate a businessaround it and we're left to have
to figure out how to do that.
Accounts payable, receivables,books, taxes I mean all that
stuff right?
Operations scheduling do I do?
Task management?
Do I do project management?
So on and so forth, especiallyas our companies grow.
Imagine being able to harnessalmost endless experience in
every single one of thoseexercises and get feedback as to
(11:37):
how successful that may be,what the pitfalls are,
accurately measure the risk, putall that information together
and then figure out how toinvest our time in those things.
You guys are out there on thegrind.
I love it.
I've done it time and timeagain and I still love it to
this day and I don't think I'llever get tired of it.
(11:57):
The ins and the outs, and themeeting here and drive over
there and talk to this personand network with that person,
and five Zoom calls a day, allthat stuff.
Imagine everything that you do,speaking far more focused,
speaking far more directly tothe end.
You're trying to create yourown success, limiting the amount
of failure that you have toengage in in order to learn.
(12:18):
It's very powerful to think ofthat way and nothing to fear.
I mean, what an exciting timeto be an entrepreneur, if you
ask me.
So what do we do to engage?
This Number one.
We learn the basics right, loginto a large language model, set
up a subscription, starttalking.
What's interesting in this kindof technology is you formulate
(12:38):
prompts right, and sometimesthose prompts need to be rather
scientific that's a fact.
But the basic stuff doesn'tCommon sense.
Talk to it, go in and engage it.
Come at it from the perspectivethat this is a utility and
you're trying to figure out thebest way to use it.
No different than if I got anew tool today and it's
sophisticated enough, but Idon't know everything that it
does.
But I want to find out.
(12:58):
An example of that is toidentify your edge.
What is it about what you'redoing, whether it's physically
what you're doing, the craftthat you're applying or just
your incredible passion forpursuing it.
What is that edge?
How do you verbalize that edge?
How do you put together A lotof guys, new in business.
You know they tell you aboutthe elevator pitches.
You know how do you formulatethat.
(13:22):
Have that conversation back andforth, but it isn't like you're
listening to this thing.
It's not demanding of you.
It's not taking over your ownprocess of thinking.
It's feedback.
It's a conversation with a wisefriend.
See it as such, leverage it.
That's what we do in business,right Create an asset, create a
resource and we leverage it.
Next step upskill strategically.
(13:43):
There are huge limitations tothis technology.
Right the human element, forexample, the emotional
intelligence, they say.
When you're sitting in a roomcommunicating with the other
person, even if it's just oneother person, the vast majority
of communication is nonverbal.
When you're dealing with aninterface that's computer-based
or machine-based, you're notgetting that.
It's far, far more literal thanthat.
(14:04):
Understand what that creates interms of opportunity for you
and understand specifically howto get the most out of that
information.
That's so literal.
Use the human element, your owncreativity, your own critical
thinking to apply thatinformation.
Use the human element, your owncreativity, your own critical
thinking to apply thatinformation and add the human
element to it so that it makesit more relatable to others.
(14:24):
That will make you moresuccessful.
Don't be afraid to experiment.
There's no right or wrong wayto do this.
Have the courage to go into itand see what you can get out of
it.
Don't limit your thinking andcertainly don't think from fear.
Go in unbridled, expecting thistechnology to be able to help
you in ways that you can't yetimagine and that it will not let
(14:45):
you down.
You'll discover that and whenyou do, each step will become
more and more powerful.
Real world personal example ofone of the things I've learned
to do with it.
I used to really kind of put atremendous amount of effort.
It took a lot of time literallytake me five or six hours
(15:06):
sometimes to prepare for asingle podcast.
Going through researching myguests Back when we had more
guests than we do now.
We're a little bit more focusedtoday, but we used to host
guests all the time.
We have guests intermittentlynow.
I'd have gone through theresearch, go to their social
media pages, maybe set up apre-interview, a meet and greet,
all this stuff and sometimesmaybe even 10, 12, 16 hours
(15:26):
invested in just a singlepodcast, just learning about my
guests and trying to formulateright questions, the right
understanding, put them in theright environment, know how to
support them.
There's a tremendous amount ofthat.
Today I go in the same way brandnew guest, even if it's
somebody I've only heard throughreputation or met temporarily
and feel comfortable abouthaving into our studio.
I go into an AI, I go into alarge language model, I state
(15:50):
their name, I cut and pastelinks into their social media
platforms and I ask AI to go outand help give me an outline.
I don't ask AI to write me ascript and tell me how to talk
to this person, because I wantto explore them personally, but
what I ask AI to do is give metopical questions to help open
the door, to ease them into theconversation, to let them know
(16:11):
that it's okay, let them becomfortable, open them up so
that we can really explorewhat's going on with them and
get down into the marrow of whatthey're here for.
And I can do all that sometimesin as little as 15 minutes.
So think about that a richer,better human experience because
of the information that Iprepare myself with ahead of
(16:34):
time.
That doesn't sound likeanything to be afraid of to me.
That sounds like a way tobetter communicate, to better
get to know and to bettersupport the people that are
supporting us.
It's amazing.
So here it is in a nutshell.
The truth of the matter is, somepeople will lose their job, but
AI's intention is not to takeyour job.
(16:54):
Ai's intention is to assisthumanity.
It's our job to embrace it,keep it democratized and make
sure that this technology staysto the benefit and under the
control of humanity.
Right now, in the beginningstages and we know this is when
most prosperity is abound wehaven't figured it all out.
(17:15):
There's loose ends, there'squestions, things that need to
be done, experiments that needto be made, conclusions that
need to be drawn and thenexperimented again against.
This is that time frame, it'sright here, right now.
So we encourage you, from TSG toeverybody listening, embrace
(17:38):
this and see what you can dowith it, see how you can master
this to the point that it servesyou, serves your community,
your friends, your family,whatever your situation is.

finds even more effective waysevery single time it's used by
the people inside that company.
Now the trainer, the headtrainer, might even, in that
case, be out of that particularjob, but he gets trained in AI.
He gets a whole new resource, awhole new way, a whole new
(08:00):
skill by working with AI fromthat perspective.
So he then becomes the guy whocreates the AI initiatives, that
start the programs, that trainthe other people, he monitors it
, he creates reports from it,and not only can he do this for
one company, he can do this fora multitude of companies,
because once that program isestablished, he can repeat it
(08:22):
again and again and again.
So he loses his job per se inthis particular scenario, but he
learns from that experience.
Instead of running away andbeing bitter at the technology
that replaced his employment, heputs himself in a position
where he can leverage that sametechnology, provide the same
service, and do it on a muchlarger scale.
(08:43):
This is how we go from losing$92 million jobs to creating
$170 million.
Think about that.
What an incredible utility thisaccess to collective human
wisdom To entrepreneurs.
It's incredible.
Imagine I can only imagine inmy first business if I would
have had a resource like thiswhere I could model things out.
(09:05):
I could interact with somethingthat has infinitely more
knowledge than I do, infinitemore access to history
Essentially, experience that Ilacked.
I was 26 or 27, I think.
When I started my first companyman, I didn't know anything.
I had a master electrician'slicense and that was it, and had
to jump into the industry andsink or swim and it was painful
(09:27):
and it's hard, extremely hard.
To those of you who are outthere right now and they're in
that struggle, you know there'sa utility here.
Don't be afraid of it, embraceit, go to it, see how you can
use it.
Don't be you won't be enslavedby this anymore than you're
enslaved by a screwdriver or ahammer in your toolbox, but
rather use it to put yourselfinto a position where you can
(09:48):
become successful faster thanyou ever thought imaginable for
because you have access to thecollective wisdom that comes
from all the other people'sexperience.
People ask me many times how doI know about business?
I didn't go to business college.
I don't have any formalbusiness training at all.
What I used to tell people is Ilearned through prison sex, and
(10:09):
of course they look at you andwonder what you did to end up in
prison.
I've never been to prison in myentire life.
But I have been screwed againstmy will a lot, and that's what
I mean in that kind of sillylittle metaphor.
That's how I had to learn rightby trying something, failing at
it and having to pay theconsequence.
If I'd had something like this,where I could have told it,
talked to it, utilized it as anexperiment before I actually
(10:32):
engaged in whatever thatactivity was a new project, a
new job, a new employee, a newcost item, a new revenue stream,
whatever it was or whatever itcould be and model that out and
get feedback from essentiallycollective wisdom, man, the
amount of pain I could haveavoided and the way I could have
accelerated into success, Ican't even imagine.
(10:52):
And that's the opportunity thatwe have today.
To me, that doesn't sound likefear.
To me, that sounds like lookingdown into something that we
don't know about and figuringout how to master it.
Isn't that what we do asentrepreneurs?
We come up with an idea, we puta business together A lot of us
are good at a craft or a tradeor a skill or something and then
(11:14):
we try to formulate a businessaround it and we're left to have
to figure out how to do that.
Accounts payable, receivables,books, taxes I mean all that
stuff right?
Operations scheduling do I do?
Task management?
Do I do project management?
So on and so forth, especiallyas our companies grow.
Imagine being able to harnessalmost endless experience in
every single one of thoseexercises and get feedback as to
(11:37):
how successful that may be,what the pitfalls are,
accurately measure the risk, putall that information together
and then figure out how toinvest our time in those things.
You guys are out there on thegrind.
I love it.
I've done it time and timeagain and I still love it to
this day and I don't think I'llever get tired of it.
(11:57):
The ins and the outs, and themeeting here and drive over
there and talk to this personand network with that person,
and five Zoom calls a day, allthat stuff.
Imagine everything that you do,speaking far more focused,
speaking far more directly tothe end.
You're trying to create yourown success, limiting the amount
of failure that you have toengage in in order to learn.
(12:18):
It's very powerful to think ofthat way and nothing to fear.
I mean, what an exciting timeto be an entrepreneur, if you
ask me.
So what do we do to engage?
This Number one.
We learn the basics right, loginto a large language model, set
up a subscription, starttalking.
What's interesting in this kindof technology is you formulate
(12:38):
prompts right, and sometimesthose prompts need to be rather
scientific that's a fact.
But the basic stuff doesn'tCommon sense.
Talk to it, go in and engage it.
Come at it from the perspectivethat this is a utility and
you're trying to figure out thebest way to use it.
No different than if I got anew tool today and it's
sophisticated enough, but Idon't know everything that it
does.
But I want to find out.
(12:58):
An example of that is toidentify your edge.
What is it about what you'redoing, whether it's physically
what you're doing, the craftthat you're applying or just
your incredible passion forpursuing it.
What is that edge?
How do you verbalize that edge?
How do you put together A lotof guys, new in business.
You know they tell you aboutthe elevator pitches.
You know how do you formulatethat.
(13:22):
Have that conversation back andforth, but it isn't like you're
listening to this thing.
It's not demanding of you.
It's not taking over your ownprocess of thinking.
It's feedback.
It's a conversation with a wisefriend.
See it as such, leverage it.
That's what we do in business,right Create an asset, create a
resource and we leverage it.
Next step upskill strategically.
(13:43):
There are huge limitations tothis technology.
Right the human element, forexample, the emotional
intelligence, they say.
When you're sitting in a roomcommunicating with the other
person, even if it's just oneother person, the vast majority
of communication is nonverbal.
When you're dealing with aninterface that's computer-based
or machine-based, you're notgetting that.
It's far, far more literal thanthat.
(14:04):
Understand what that creates interms of opportunity for you
and understand specifically howto get the most out of that
information.
That's so literal.
Use the human element, your owncreativity, your own critical
thinking to apply thatinformation.
Use the human element, your owncreativity, your own critical
thinking to apply thatinformation and add the human
element to it so that it makesit more relatable to others.
(14:24):
That will make you moresuccessful.
Don't be afraid to experiment.
There's no right or wrong wayto do this.
Have the courage to go into itand see what you can get out of
it.
Don't limit your thinking andcertainly don't think from fear.
Go in unbridled, expecting thistechnology to be able to help
you in ways that you can't yetimagine and that it will not let
(14:45):
you down.
You'll discover that and whenyou do, each step will become
more and more powerful.
Real world personal example ofone of the things I've learned
to do with it.
I used to really kind of put atremendous amount of effort.
It took a lot of time literallytake me five or six hours
(15:06):
sometimes to prepare for asingle podcast.
Going through researching myguests Back when we had more
guests than we do now.
We're a little bit more focusedtoday, but we used to host
guests all the time.
We have guests intermittentlynow.
I'd have gone through theresearch, go to their social
media pages, maybe set up apre-interview, a meet and greet,
all this stuff and sometimesmaybe even 10, 12, 16 hours
(15:26):
invested in just a singlepodcast, just learning about my
guests and trying to formulateright questions, the right
understanding, put them in theright environment, know how to
support them.
There's a tremendous amount ofthat.
Today I go in the same way brandnew guest, even if it's
somebody I've only heard throughreputation or met temporarily
and feel comfortable abouthaving into our studio.
I go into an AI, I go into alarge language model, I state
(15:50):
their name, I cut and pastelinks into their social media
platforms and I ask AI to go outand help give me an outline.
I don't ask AI to write me ascript and tell me how to talk
to this person, because I wantto explore them personally, but
what I ask AI to do is give metopical questions to help open
the door, to ease them into theconversation, to let them know
(16:11):
that it's okay, let them becomfortable, open them up so
that we can really explorewhat's going on with them and
get down into the marrow of whatthey're here for.
And I can do all that sometimesin as little as 15 minutes.
So think about that a richer,better human experience because
of the information that Iprepare myself with ahead of
(16:34):
time.
That doesn't sound likeanything to be afraid of to me.
That sounds like a way tobetter communicate, to better
get to know and to bettersupport the people that are
supporting us.
It's amazing.
So here it is in a nutshell.
The truth of the matter is, somepeople will lose their job, but
AI's intention is not to takeyour job.
(16:54):
Ai's intention is to assisthumanity.
It's our job to embrace it,keep it democratized and make
sure that this technology staysto the benefit and under the
control of humanity.
Right now, in the beginningstages and we know this is when
most prosperity is abound wehaven't figured it all out.
(17:15):
There's loose ends, there'squestions, things that need to
be done, experiments that needto be made, conclusions that
need to be drawn and thenexperimented again against.
This is that time frame, it'sright here, right now.
So we encourage you, from TSG toeverybody listening, embrace
(17:38):
this and see what you can dowith it, see how you can master
this to the point that it servesyou, serves your community,
your friends, your family,whatever your situation is.
