Are you ready for the biggest career shift of your lifetime?

In this groundbreaking episode of the Verlicity AI Podcast, we explore how "Everyone Got a Promotion" in the Agentic AI economy.

Co-hosts Cristian Worthington and Sandra Giffin reveal why every professional, from new hires to seasoned CEOs, are now by default, a manager of an AI Agent workforce.

Move beyond simple chatbots and discover the profound leap to AI Agents – autonomous, goal-oriented entities capable of complex tool use.

We demystify the internal workings of an AI Agent, from goal "Decomposition" and "Tool Selection" to "Execution and Observation," and the crucial ability to "Self-Correct". This continuous cycle of "think, act, observe, and correct" is what makes agents so powerful.

We explore the traps you'll want to avoid and the skills you'll need to develop.

And we'll explore the risks and responsibilities of managing AI agents.

And we'll discuss how Agentic AI is poised to trigger a golden age of entrepreneurship, dramatically lowering the barrier to starting a new business. Your first management role might be as the CEO of your own one-person company, leading a team of virtual AI Agents!
