| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Darren Daly on demand, your most trusted resource to help you become better every day. |
| 0:07.3 | Here's your success mentor, Darren Hardy. |
| 0:13.5 | This morning, I want to sound the alarm on how critical it is that you step up and intensify your key skills development. |
| 0:23.3 | In the modern world of globalization, technologies are replacing many low-skill jobs. |
| 0:28.9 | Computerization and automation technologies are also eliminating many medium-skilled jobs, |
| 0:34.2 | like bookkeepers and project managers and analysts and clerks and replacing them |
| 0:38.3 | with new technologies. This is causing a massive gap. It is creating an even wider gap between |
