I recently had a real conversation with a friend who works at the unemployment office and what he told me shocked me. Tech companies aren’t hiring. AI is replacing roles faster than people realize.

This isn’t a warning for the future. The wave is already here.In this video, I break down:

• What’s really happening in the job market right now
• Why your career isn’t as safe as you think
• And why building a personal brand is the smartest move you can make in 2025

If you're feeling stuck, uncertain, or just watching your industry shrink - it's time to pivot. Your personal brand is your new resume.
