Just finished a 90-minute space that might be the most important conversation I've had all year.

The question: Is forced entrepreneurship a bigger trend than AI?

The answer: Absolutely.

Let me share what we uncovered...

THE BRUTAL MATH:

But first, a word from today’s sponsor.

Did you recently see an ad for beehiiv in a newsletter? We’re running a short brand lift survey to understand what’s actually breaking through (and what’s not).

It takes about 20 seconds, the questions are super easy, and your feedback directly helps us improve how we show up in the newsletters you read and love.

If you’ve got a few moments, we’d really appreciate your insight.

Take the survey.

According to Gartner, McKinsey, and Boston Consulting:

Translation: AI isn't replacing you. Someone using AI better than you is replacing you.

But here's where it gets interesting...

THREE PATHS FORWARD:

1. Fractional Executives I personally know fractional CMOs making $150K working 20 hours a week. Multiple clients. Strategic work only. No corporate BS.

The demand? Exploding. Companies at $1M-$10M can't justify $150K+ full-time but NEED that expertise.

2. Side Hustles That Actually Work Not crypto schemes. Real niche solutions. One space participant mentioned sewing Beanie Babies—there's STILL a market for it.

Why? Because humans buy from humans. Always have. Always will.

3. Become Indispensable
If you're staying in corporate, you better be in that 40% doing 200% of the work. Stack skills NOW:

THE PART EVERYONE FORGETS:

Riley dropped this gem: "Humans watch humans play chess, even though computers destroy us at it."

Why?

Because AI is the tool. Human connection is the transaction.

Your coach. Your barber. Your financial advisor. These jobs aren't going anywhere because humans crave human connection.

WHAT I'M PERSONALLY DOING:

I used to need 8 people on my marketing team. Now I need 3.

That's not doom.

That's efficiency.

The question is: Are you one of the 3?

YOUR ACTION PLAN:

→ Stack skills this quarter (courses are cheap right now) → Build your personal brand (it's your insurance policy) → Start your email list if you haven't
→ Look into fractional roles in your expertise → Focus on boring, physical businesses (AI-proof)

We're 2 years into a 5-year journey here. The barriers to entrepreneurship have never been lower.

But the competition? About to get INTENSE.
