Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jason Taylor joins us now a business streategy just to
talk about what's going on with a great freezing hiring.
According now to Zip recruiter, it's not as bad as
everybody's trying to make it out to me with the
jobs slow down, Jason, Are you the Jason Taylor from
the NFL?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
No, jt Im, Jason Taylor from Texas from code launch
dot com.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
There you go, all right? You know, Jason Taylor has
played with the Dolphins. His kid now was in the NFL,
played what LSU I think somewhere.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Obviously, I've been in a war over that name recognition
for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Years because of this NFL guy.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Yeah. Yeah, he's a handsome, tall, good looking guy just
like me. But I'm not in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Well, high five to your career in the NFL. I
know you you kind of want to stay in cognitio.
That's fine. I'll play long with your charade, but that's
that's right, all right. So let's talk about what's going
on here. I keep hearing, you know, Amazon's laying thirty
thousand people off, fifteen thousand this and that company's laying
you know, people off and jobs are slowing down, but
apparently ZipRecruiter says, yeah, not so fast. So what's going on.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Here, Well, it's definitely transforming, and technology is transforming a
lot of different industries. And the most visible one, like
right now is like you said, Amazon and also UPS,
and they're both in the logistics of you know, delivering packages.
Mostly Amazon has actually a small part of that business
(01:22):
that does that, but UPS that's everything that they do.
So UPS laying off up to forty eight thousand people
over this whole year, and they've already cut thirty something
of those and what they are seeing is a dramatic
normalization and correction from the over exaggerated COVID era demand,
(01:44):
and they're going to lose money because there's less people
buying that service, and so they have to cut jobs. Now,
they are implementing a technology initiative to completely overhaul their
digital technology network, which their entire service runs on. So
(02:04):
they're hoping they can do the same level of work
with less people with more technology. Now, Zippo Creator is
seeing more jobs in other spaces because there are other
jobs opening because of that transformation. So there's obviously there's
lots of people that have to build this new technology
right right.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
And you know, this time of the year, you would
think that those types of services that you're talking about
would be increasing and people hiring seasonal workers to take
on the demand of what's happening with the holidays towards
the end of the year. But I understand that a
lot of these were corporate jobs. I don't know that
means that, you know, guys, where the rubber hits the
road as far as delivering the actual packages. But you know,
(02:44):
when you see other businesses slowing down as well. Somebody
said to me the other day, Look, you know, I
think even Senator Turberville was talking about this. That AI
will replace some jobs, that's that's a given. But on
the other hand, AI also will create some different jobs. It's,
you know, shifting. You're a former NFL guy, you understand
when you're you know, draft more of receivers in the
(03:06):
NFL draft. Guess what we're going to be doing this
year in the season. We're throwing the ball more than
we did last year when we had running backs. So
if you if you don't shift in this, you're gonna
you know, you'll perish it. Just you got to shift.
So is you see a big shift and not the
number of jobs lost and gained, but the types.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Well, yeah, I think there's there's obviously lots of new
types of jobs opening, uh that didn't even exist before.
And people have to be ready to adapt. And that's
always been the case and our very large and robust
economy and people need to be prepared to change directions
when something like this happens and find an industry that
(03:47):
is growing and there's plenty of them. And that's why
a places like zip Recruiter, who sees all the job
openings documented in their system, can tell you that there's
not a wide scale regard and job opportunity. It's just
changing spaces.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah, yeah, what is your company and what do you
do in your space?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Code launch dot com helps tech startup founders launch by
building their technology for them. We have a competition throughout
the year and around the world and it results in
the world Championship of these startups, which happens in the
number twelve here in Dallas, Texas.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Wow, that's pretty cool. That's really cool. I like the
work that you're doing for young folks starting up their
businesses or young you know, new businesses, even with folks
shifting gears in their fifties and sixties that you leave here,
you go certain spaces and go, you know what I've
always wanted to do, X, Y or Z. I think
we can give it a run, and then all of
a sudden, folks like you come along and help them
get it done.

ventures launched with the product so they can have a
chance to raise You can check it out at code

you need some help on what do I do next?
How do I grow this? How do I monetize it?
What are the numbers? What do we do? How do
we scale? Even those terms sometimes scare new beginners in
the entrepreneurial space, but you'll watch enough Shark Tank and
