Knowledge Athlete

Being Able To Learn Faster and Smarter Is More Important Now Than Ever

In an age of AI including generative AI like OpenAI's GPT, functional tasks can be more easily automated. We cannot rely on our experience alone to tell us what the future will bring. We can't expect the next 10 years to look like the last 10 years, except for the fact that more changes will be coming.

Trucks are already driving themselves, tractors can harvest food, software can do the basic work of accountants and lawyers.

We live in a knowledge economy.

Anyone with an internet connection will be competing with you for the same knowledge work. The smallest edge can mean all the difference.
