TL;DR: The next generation of great AI companies will not sell software seats; they will own operational outcomes, and compress labor costs with AI.

Most of my career has been spent building companies around workforce development and economic mobility.

Right now I’m spending a lot of time thinking about how AI is impacting hiring, labor markets, and earning potential.

Started writing about it.

TLDR; if a PS5 at @DaveandBusters costs 160,000 tickets and you average 1,000 tickets per hour, you would need about 160 hours of play. At $50 per hour, that comes out to roughly $8,000 spent. That’s far more than the typical $500 retail price of a PS5.

I am curious to what extent this week’s jobs report, which came in above expectations, will impact the discussion around rate cuts.

Is it standard practice to let an initial survey estimate drive monetary policy expectations, especially when we know it is often revised later?

Our education system is like a highway built for a different time. Over the years, we’ve added new lanes—community colleges, online degrees, certification programs—but we’re still trying to push modern traffic through outdated infrastructure…. https://t.co/0Vz8bnPdt4

NYC airports are wild—CLEAR and TSA PreCheck lines are starting to feel like general boarding. Too many people have it!

The jury’s still out on the new higher ed playbook—or the Secretary pick—but if it means more skills, less debt, and better jobs, count me in.

[Benny @BennyBoas]

Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education signals a big shift in higher ed: more focus on vocational training, apprenticeships, and community colleges over traditional 4-year degrees.👉

[Benny @BennyBoas]

McMahon’s emphasis on vocational training, apprenticeships, and workforce partnerships directly addresses the skills gap, making education more relevant and impactful. By teaming up with private sector leaders, higher ed can evolve into a powerhouse for workforce development.

It seems like many lawyers I speak to don’t want to be lawyers. According to various reports, approximately 20-40% of lawyers express dissatisfaction or consider leaving their profession. What’s an alternative or complimentary career path for someone with these skills?
