This is a crazy moment at work. As AI becomes more accessible and more powerful, it really feels like the ground is shifting under our feet.

Entire professions, companies, institutions are asking what's happening next and whether they will

matter in the same way in five or ten years. I mean, I used to feel pretty clear about how to

build a great company, that the lessons I've learned scaling organizations over the last 20

years would be useful to people that I write for and coach and teach. But lately, I've been

asking myself, are these skills that I've spent years building still the right ones for what's

coming next? It feels disorienting. Things that used to feel obvious or certain are suddenly up for

grabs. For people in fields like software or design,

jobs that have felt stable and secure, this is brand new territory. But in other industries,

constant disruption and uncertainty aren't new at all. Take journalism. For the last 30 years,

journalism has been living through wave after wave

of disruption. The internet, social media, the collapse of traditional business models,

the rise of independent creators and podcasts and newsletters. The ground beneath that industry

has been shifting for decades. And people in media have had to reinvent themselves

over and over and over again. I think there's something the rest of us can learn from that

experience as we confront this new AI-driven reality. What do you do when the thing you've built

your career around keeps changing.

I'm Molly Graham, and this is work life, where we untangle the messy human side of work.

My guest today is Manus Someroti.

Manus is a longtime journalist and podcast host who almost seems to chase this disruptive change,

and along the way, she has built a thriving career.

Early on, she became fascinated by technology and started reporting on how it was shaping our lives.
