In this episode, author and education expert Michael Horn shares practical advice on how individuals can stay ahead in a world where skills are constantly evolving. Drawing from his work on innovation and career development, Michael explains why upskilling is no longer a one-time activity but a continuous process tied closely to personal growth, energy, and purpose. He introduces the concept of a “skills balance sheet” to help people make more strategic decisions about what to invest in next. The conversation explores the importance of curiosity, the challenges of self-assessment, and how to frame learning as a source of joy—not pressure. Michael also weighs in on the role AI will play in shaping the future of work, and why those who learn to work with it, rather than fear it, will be best positioned to thrive. It’s a motivating look at how to stay adaptable and energized in an ever-changing world of work.
