As autonomous agents and generative tools begin to commoditize traditional skills, the "AI Readiness" conversation is shifting from simple curiosity to a deep exploration of human value. Understanding how to decouple your self-worth from your daily tasks is no longer just a philosophical exerciseโit is a survival requirement for the 2026 workforce.

In this Jam Session, Kyle Shannon and Anne Murphy peel back the curtain on the emotional and structural shifts coming in 2026. Kyle introduces ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐๐ฟ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ฒ, a framework for surviving the mass disengagement that occurs when AI transforms or eliminates the jobs we love. Anne counters with her ๐๐ถ๐ด ๐ฆ๐ถ๐ , a tactical deep-dive into how deceptively simple toolsโlike AI meeting recordersโbump up against our core values, privacy, and organizational power structures. Together, they explore the both/and era: a time when we are simultaneously empowered by new technology and mourning the ego death of our old professional identities.

โข Decouple Work from Worth: Recognize that while AI can replicate tasks, it cannot replace your unique judgment, taste, and point of view.
โข Audit Your Big Six Tactics: Identify the AI tools you use (like meeting recorders) and evaluate them not just for productivity, but for how they impact your values and organizational transparency.
โข Adopt a Both/And Mindset: Accept that you can be both the good guy (empowered by AI) and the bad guy (displacing traditional roles) depending on the context.
โข Build Your Survival Community: In an era of forced retirement and rapid sector shifts, being AI Ready means staying in conversation with heart-centered peers who are navigating the same soup.
โข Move from Prompting to Managing: Prepare for the shift from writing prompts to managing "swarms" of autonomous agents that act proactively on your behalf.
