20 years in ecommerce, now CEO of a CRO agency. Probably doing analysis in R or building stuff with AI. Or walking on the beach. Yeah, probably that.

Younger workers benefit more from labor-augmenting tech, like AI.
“In other words, workers who were used to doing things a certain way struggled to adapt when complementary technology arrived, while less-experienced workers could harness the power of these new tools.”

This is why embracing a what-could-possibly-go-right mindset is so necessary for creating positive change. Thinking in terms of best possible outcomes doesn’t mean you ignore potential negative outcomes. It means you avoid those outcomes by envisioning the future you want and steering toward it.
Your work is too important to be left to how you feel today. On the other hand, committing to an action can change how we feel. If we act as though we trust the process and do the work, then the feelings will follow. Waiting for a feeling is a luxury we don’t have time for.
If the problem is caused by the thinking mind, it won’t be solved with the thinking mind - always not good enough, internal story lines etc

The most successful people. . . often aren't directly pursuing conventional notions of success. They're working hard and persisting through difficulties because of their internal desire to control their lives, learn about their world, and accomplish something that endures.
