The career ladder is broken. How do you future-proof yourself?
AI is disrupting the workplace; offering businesses and professionals efficiency gains, and putting jobs at risk.
In this episode Tim speaks with Jimmy McLoughlin, a former Special Advisor to then-UK Prime Minister Theresa May on business.
In 2020 he launched his podcast Jimmy’s Jobs of the Future, and has spent the last six years talking with business experts from the Governor of the Bank of England to founders half his age.
Tim and Jimmy discuss:
Jobs in 2026 and the ‘broken’ career ladder
Which careers could be replaced by AI
How 35-45 year olds are in the ‘sweet spot’ for learning AI skills
Why human-to-human skills will be important in the future
The ‘radical’ change required to sort UK unemployment
Why the education system needs a bigger focus on entrepreneurialism
What business leaders have told Jimmy about the future of work and AI
