Where Are All the Replaced Workers?

Episode 36 - November 19, 2025

We're diving into the myth of AI replacing workers. Why does this narrative persist without evidence? It's not just about mastering prompts or scaling with AI—it's about uncovering organizational flaws that were always there. Let's challenge these assumptions and understand why letting AI define our problems is the real risk. Your thinking creates your limits.

Everyone’s talking about AI replacing workers at scale. LinkedIn is full of it. Consultants are selling solutions for it. Workers are anxious about it.

There’s just one problem: Where’s the evidence?

In this episode, I dissect the AI replacement narrative that exists everywhere except reality. We’ll explore:

  • Why the mass replacement story persists despite lack of evidence
  • The dangerous myth of “the perfect prompt”
  • What the Deloitte case actually reveals (hint: it’s not about AI)
  • Why AI exposes organizational problems that were already there
  • The real risk: letting AI define our problems instead of solving them

If you’ve been told that AI will replace your job, that mastering prompts is the key to success, or that companies are scaling thanks to AI—this episode challenges those assumptions.

The narrative is convenient. The reality is more complex. And understanding the difference matters more than you think.

Your thinking creates your limits.
