From Factory to Forge Part 1: The White-Collar Revolution Begins

This episode kicks off From Factory to Forge, a 5-part miniseries exploring how AI is reshaping the future of work—not by eliminating jobs, but by redefining the human role inside them.

In this opening chapter, we dive into the world of knowledge workers—lawyers, analysts, project managers, developers—once seen as untouchable in the job market. But AI doesn’t care about titles or degrees. It cares about structure—and knowledge work was built like a machine.

“Henry Ford didn’t just revolutionize production—he reprogrammed the human role in work.
We traded mastery for efficiency. Craft for scale. Purpose for process.
AI now offers us a way back—but only if we choose it.”

In this episode, we’ll explore:

• Why knowledge work is ground zero for disruption

• The tasks already disappearing

• What AI can’t replace—and how to build a career around it

• How to reclaim meaning and mastery in a world that’s optimized for speed, not soul

This isn’t just a moment of disruption.
It’s an opportunity for revolution—and a return to craft.
